Numbers 34
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with its borders.)
“Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:
3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
Icele leningizimu yenu lizahlanganisa isigaba esithile seNkangala yaseZini kulandela umngcele we-Edomi. Empumalanga, umngcele wenu weningizimu uzasukela ekucineni koLwandle lweTswayi,
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its limit shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
udabula eningizimu yoMkhandlu weNkume, kusiya ngaseZini njalo kuye eningizimu yeKhadeshi Bhaneya. Usuka lapho uzaqonda eHazari Adari njalo wedlulele e-Azimoni,
5 And the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the sea.
lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.
6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall designate for you mount Hor:
Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori
8 From mount Hor ye shall designate [your border] to the entrance of Hamath; and the limits of the border shall be at Zedad:
njalo usuka eNtabeni yaseHori uye eLebho Hamathi. Umngcele uzasuka lapho uqonde eZedadi,
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.
10 And ye shall designate your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
Okomngcele wenu wempumalanga, sukelani eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu.
11 And the limit shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
Umngcele uzakwehla usuka eShefamu usiya eRibhila engempumalanga kwe-Ayini njalo uqhubeke ulandela umthezuko empumalanga koLwandle lwaseKhinerethi.
12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the limits of it shall be at the salt sea: This shall be your land with its limits on all sides.
Kusuka lapho umngcele uzakwehla ulandela umfula uJodani uze uyecina oLwandle lweTswayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu, ngemingcele yalo inxa zonke.’”
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
UMosi walaya abako-Israyeli wathi: “Yabelanani lelilizwe ngenkatho njengelifa lenu. UThixo usekhuphe isiqondiso sokuthi aliphiwe izizwana eziyisificamunwemunye kanye lesizwana esiyingxenye,
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
ngenxa yokuthi abezimuli zesizwana sikaRubheni, abesizwana sikaGadi kanye lengxenye yesizwana sikaManase sebethole isabelo sabo.
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, towards the sun-rising.
Izizwana lezi ezimbili kanye lalesi esiyingxenye sezithole isabelo sazo empumalanga komfula uJodani malungana leJerikho, ngokuya ngempumalanga.”
16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
17 These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
“La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:
19 And the names of the men [are] these: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
La yiwo amabizo abo: uKhalebi indodana kaJefune, owesizwana sakoJuda;
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
uShemuyeli indodana ka-Amihudi, owesizwana sakoSimiyoni;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
u-Elidadi indodana kaKhisiloni, owesizwana sakoBhenjamini;
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
uBhukhi indodana kaJogili, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sakoDani;
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi, ongumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaManase indodana kaJosefa;
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
uKhemuweli indodana kaShifuthani, engumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sako-Efrayimi indodana kaJosefa;
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
uPhalithiyeli indodana ka-Azani, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Isakhari,
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Asheri;
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”
29 These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.
