Lezi zinhambo zabantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphuma elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo, ngesandla sikaMozisi loAroni.

UMozisi wasebhala ukuphuma kwabo ngezinhambo zabo ngokomlayo weNkosi. Lalezi zinhambo zabo njengokuphuma kwabo.
3 On the fifteenth day of the first month [of the year], the day after we celebrated the (Passover/the time when Yahweh killed all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt), they/we left Rameses [city in Egypt] and marched boldly while the Egyptian army was coming behind them/us.

4 As they/we left, the people of Egypt were still burying the bodies of their firstborn sons. [By killing them], Yahweh showed that the gods that the people of Egypt worshiped were false gods.

38 Aaron, the priest, obeyed Yahweh and climbed up the mountain. There he died, on the first day of their/our fifth month, 40 years after the/we Israelis left Egypt.
UAroni umpristi wasesenyukela entabeni yeHori ngokomlayo weNkosi, wafela khona, ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga.

40 (That was when the king of Arad [city] heard that the/we Israelis were coming. Arad was in the southern part of Canaan, where the Canaan people-group lived.)

50 While we were there on the plains of the Moab [region] near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me. He said,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi emagcekeni akoMowabi, eJordani eJeriko, isithi:
51 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho selichaphe iJordani laya elizweni leKhanani,
52 you must force all the people who live there to leave. Destroy all their carved statues and all their idols made of metal. Wreck all the places where they worship [their idols].
lizaxotsha bonke abakhileyo belizwe libakhuphe emfuyweni yabo phambi kwenu, lichithe yonke imifanekiso yabo, lichithe zonke izithombe zabo ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, liqede zonke indawo zabo eziphakemeyo,
53 Take their land from them and start to live there, because I have given their land to you for you to own.
lidle ilifa lelizwe, lihlale kilo, ngoba ngilinike ilizwe ukuthi lidle ilifa lalo.
54 “Divide up the land by throwing (lots/small stones which have been marked) [to decide which group will get which area]. Give the larger areas to the groups that have more people, and give the smaller areas to the groups that have fewer people. Each tribe will receive its own land.
Njalo lizakudla ilifa lelizwe ngenkatho ngensendo zenu; kwabanengi lizakwengeza ilifa labo, lakwabalutshwana lizanciphisa ilifa labo. Lapho inkatho ezamphumela khona umuntu, kuzakuba ngokwakhe. Njengezizwe zaboyihlo lizakudla ilifa.
55 If you do not force the people who live there to leave, they will cause you to have much trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes, and like thorns in your sides. And they will bring trouble to you, in that land where you will be living.
Kodwa nxa lingabakhuphi abakhileyo elizweni emfuyweni yabo phambi kwenu, khona kuzakuthi elibatshiyayo babo bazakuba zimvava emehlweni enu babe ngameva ezinhlangothini zenu, balihluphe elizweni elihlala kilo.
56 And then I will punish you, as I had planned to punish them.”
Kuzakuthi-ke, ngizakwenza kini njengalokhu ebengicabanga ukukwenza kubo.
