< Na Helu 32 >
1 HE nui loa na holoholona a na mamo a Reubena, a me na mamo a Gada: a i ka manawa i ike ai lakou i ka aina o Iazera a me ka aina o Gileada, aia hoi, he wahi pono ia no na holoholona;
AbakoRubheni labakoGadi ababelemihlambi emikhulu yenkomo leyezimvu babona ukuthi amadlelo emangweni weJazeri leGiliyadi ayemahle ezifuyweni.
2 Hele mai la na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, a olelo mai la ia Mose, a ia Eleazara ke kahuna, a i na luna o ke anainakanaka, i mai la,
Ngakho baya kuMosi laku-Eliyazari umphristi lakubakhokheli babantu, bathi,
3 O Atarota, o Dibona, o Iazera, o Nimera, o Hesebona, o Eleale, o Sebama, o Nebo, a o Beona,
“Umhlaba we-Atharothi, leDibhoni, leJazeri, leNimra, leHeshibhoni, le-Eliyale, leSebhami, leNebho kanye leBheyoni,
4 O ka aina a Iehova i luku ai imua o ke anainakanaka o ka Iseraela, he aina ia no na holoholona; a he holoholona ia makou o kau poe kauwa.
uThixo awunqoba phambi kwabako-Israyeli, ngumhlaba olungele izifuyo, njalo thina nceku zenu silezifuyo.”
5 I mai la lakou, No keia mea, a i loaa ia makou ke aloha imua o kou maka, e ae mai oe e haawiia mai keia aina i wahi e noho ai no kau mau kauwa, aole no e kai aku ia makou ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
Basebesithi, “Nxa sifumene umusa emehlweni enu, lelilizwe aliphiwe izinceku zenu libe yisabelo sethu. Lingenzi ukuba sichaphe uJodani.”
6 Ninau aku la o Mose i na mamo a Gada, a i na mamo a Reubena, E hele no anei ko oukou poe hoahanau i ke kaua, a e noho no oukou manei?
UMosi wabuza abakoGadi labakoRubheni wathi, “Kambe lingahlala lapha amanye amadoda akini esiya empini na?
7 No ke aha la hoi e hoonawaliwali ai oukou i na naau o na mamo a Iseraela, i hele ole ai lakou i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou?
Kungani lithelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukuchaphela elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo na?
8 Pela no i hana'i ko oukou poe makua, ia'u i hoouna aku ai ia lakou mai Kadesabanea aku e makaikai i ka aina.
Yikho lokhu okwenziwa ngoyihlo ekubathumeni kwami besuka eKhadeshi Bhaneya ukuyahlola ilizwe.
9 No ka mea, i ka manawa i pii aku ai lakou ma ke awawa o Esekola, a ike aku la i ka aina, hoonawaliwali lakou i ka naau o na mamo a Iseraela, i hele ole aku ai lakou i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou.
Bathi sebehambe baze bayafika eSigodini sase-Eshikholi balibona ilizwe, bathelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukungena elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo.
10 A ua hoaia ka inaina o Iehova ia la, a hoohiki iho la ia, i ka i ana mai,
Ulaka lukaThixo lwaqubuka ngalolosuku waze wenza lesisifungo.
11 He oiaio, aole kekahi o na kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, na mea o na makahiki he iwakalua a keu aku, e ike aku i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai no Aberahama, no Isaaka a no Iakoba; no ka mea, aole lakou i hahai pono mamuli o'u:
‘Ngenxa yokuthi abangilandelanga ngezinhliziyo zabo ezipheleleyo, kakho loyedwa emadodeni wonke aleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu okuzalwa kwabavela eGibhithe ozabona ilizwe engalithembisa u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka loJakhobe ngesifungo,
12 O Kaleba wale no o ke keiki a Iepune ka Kenezi, laua o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna: no ka mea, ua hahai pono no laua ia Iehova.
kakho loyedwa ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune umKhenizi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, ngoba laba balandela uThixo ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo.’
13 A hoaia ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hoauwana ae la oia ia lakou ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, a pau loa ae la ka hanauna a pau i hana hewa imua o Iehova.
Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha wabazondela abako-Israyeli njalo wabenza bantula enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, kwaze kwaphela bonke abentanga yalabo ababonile phambi kukaThixo.
14 Aia hoi, ua ku ae nei oukou i pani no ka hakahaka o ko oukou poe makua, he hanauna kanaka hewa, e hoomahuahua aku i ka inaina nui o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
Khathesi nanku-ke lina, nzalo yezoni, selimi endaweni yaboyihlo libangela ukuthi uThixo athukuthelele abako-Israyeli ngamandla.
15 No ka mea, a i huli aku oukou maimuli ona aku, e haalele hou mai auanei oia ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele, a e make keia poe kanaka a pau ia oukou.
Nxa lingala ukumlandela, uThixo uzaphinde atshiye bonke lababantu bakhe enkangala, njalo kuzabe kuyini elibangele incithakalo yabo.”
16 Hele mai lakou a kokoke io na la, i mai la, E hana no makou i na pahipa no ko makou holoholona, a me na kulanakauhale no na keiki a makou:
Ngakho beza kuye bathi, “Sifuna ukwakha izibaya zezifuyo zethu njalo sakhele omkethu labantwabethu amadolobho.
17 Aka, e hele makaukau no makou i ke kaua imua o na mamo a Iseraela a alakai makou ia lakou i ko lakou wahi: a e noho na keiki a makou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, no na kanaka o ka aina.
Kodwa thina sesilungele ukuzihlomisa ukuze sikhokhele abako-Israyeli size siyebafikisa endaweni yabo. Kunjalo-nje omkethu labantwabethu bazasala emadolobheni avikelekileyo, ukuze bangahlaselwa ngabanikazi balelolizwe.
18 Aole no makou e hoi hou i na hale o makou, a loaa i kela kanaka i keia kanaka o na mamo a Iseraela kona ainahooili.
Kasiyikubuyela kweyethu imizi wonke owako-Israyeli aze azuze isabelo sakhe.
19 No ka mea, aole makou e ai aina me lakou ma kela aoao o Ioredane; a ma o aku; no ka mea, ua loaa ia makou ko makou ainahooili ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hikina.
Thina kasiyikuzuza isabelo kanye labo ngale kweJodani, ngoba esethu isabelo sisithole ngapha ngempumalanga kweJodani.”
20 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Ina paha oukou e hana ia mea, a e hele me ka makaukau i ke kaua imua o Iehova,
Ngakho uMosi wathi kubo, “Nxa lizakwenza lokhu, lizihlomisele ukuhlasela phambi kukaThixo,
21 A e hele oukou a pau me ka makaukau ma kela aoao o Ioredane imua o Iehova, a pau kona poe enemi i ka hookukeia'ku e ia mai kona alo aku,
njalo nxa lonke lizahamba lihlomile ngale kweJodani phambi kukaThixo aze adudule izitha phambi kwakhe,
22 A pio ka aina imua o Iehova; a mahope iho e hoi hou auanei oukou, me ka hala ole imua o Iehova, imua hoi o ka Iseraela: a e lilo keia aina no oukou imua o Iehova.
kuthi nxa ilizwe selinqotshiwe phambi kukaThixo selingaphenduka njalo liyabe selikhululekile emlandwini wenu kuThixo laku-Israyeli. Ngalokho-ke lelilizwe lizakuba yisabelo senu phambi kukaThixo.
23 Aka, i hana ole oukou pela, aia hoi, ua hana hewa aku oukou ia Iehova; a e ike pono oukou e pili auanei ko oukou hewa ia oukou iho.
Kodwa lingehluleka ukwenza lokhu, lizabe lonile phambi kukaThixo; njalo yazini ukuthi isono senu sizalifumana.
24 E hana oukou i na kulanakauhale no na keiki a oukou, a me na pa no na hipa a oukou; a e hana oukou i ka mea a ko oukou waha i olelo mai ai.
Yakhelani abesifazane benu labantwabenu amadolobho, njalo lakhele izifuyo zenu izibaya, kodwa yenzani lokho elikuthembisileyo.”
25 Olelo mai la na mamo a Gada, a me na mamo a Reubena, i mai la, E hana no na kauwa au e like me kuu haku i olelo mai nei.
AbakoGadi labakoRubheni bathi kuMosi, “Thina izinceku zakho sizakwenza njengokulaya kwenkosi yethu.
26 O ka makou poe kamalii, o na wahine a makou, o ko makou holoholona uuku, a me ko makou holoholona nui a pan, e waihoia ilaila maloko o na kulanakauhale o Gileada:
Abantwabethu labomkethu, imihlambi yezimvu zethu leyenkomo zethu kuzasala lapha emadolobheni aseGiliyadi.
27 Aka, a kau poe kauwa, o kela mea keia mea e hele makaukau imua o Iehova i ke kaua, e like me ka olelo ana mai a kuu haku.
Kodwa thina zinceku zakho, yonke indoda ehlomele ukuhlasela, izachapha iyekulwa phambi kukaThixo, njengokutsho kwenkosi yethu.”
28 A kauoha aku la o Mose no lakou ia Eleazara ke kahuna, a me Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, a me na lunakahiko o na ohana mamo a Iseraela:
UMosi wasekhupha ilizwi lesiqondiso ngabo ku-Eliyazari umphristi lakuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye lakulabo abazinhloko zezimuli zezizwana zako-Israyeli.
29 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Ina e hele pu aku me oukou na mamo a Gada, a me na mamo a Reubena ma kela aoao o Ioredane, o kela kanaka o keia kanaka me ka makaukau i ke kaua imua o Iehova, a e hoopioia ka aina imua o oukou; alaila e haawi oukou i ka aina o Gileada i kuleana no lakou:
Wathi kubo, “Nxa abakoGadi labakoRubheni, wonke amadoda ayabe ehlomele ukuhlasela, angachaphela ngale kweJodani kunye lani phambi kukaThixo, kube sekusithi nxa ilizwe selinqotshiwe phambi kwenu banikeni ilizwe laseGiliyadi libe yisabelo sabo.
30 A i ole lakou e hele makaukau aku me oukou ma kela aoao, alaila e loaa ia lakou ko lakou kuleana iwaena o oukou ma ka aina o Kanaana.
Kodwa nxa bengachaphanga lani behlomile, kumele bemukele isabelo sabo kunye lani eKhenani.”
31 Olelo mai la na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, i mai la, E like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai i kau poe kauwa, pela no makou e hana aku ai.
AbakoGadi labakoRubheni baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zizakwenza okutshiwo nguThixo.
32 E hele makaukau aku no makou imua o Iehova iloko o ka aina o Kanaana, i lilo ai no makou ka aina o ko makou kuleana ma keia aoao o Ioredane.
Sizachaphela ngale phambi kukaThixo singene eKhenani sihlomile, kodwa ilifa eliyisabelo sethu lizakuba nganeno kweJodani.”
33 A haawi aku la o Mose no lakou, no na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase a ke keiki a Iosepa, i ke aupuni o Sihona ke alii o ka Amora, a me ke aupuni o Oga ke alii o Basana, i ka aina me na kulanakauhale ona, ma ua palena, na kulanakauhale o ia aina a puni.
Ngakho uMosi wasenika abakoGadi, labakoRubheni kanye lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase indodana kaJosefa umbuso kaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori kanye lombuso ka-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani, ilizwe lonke kanye lamadolobho alo kanye lamazwe ayebagqagqele.
34 A kukulu aku la na mamo a Gada ia Dibona, me Atarota, me Aroera,
AbakoGadi bakha iDibhoni, i-Atharothi, i-Aroweri,
35 Me Aterota, me Sopana, me Iazera, a me Iogebeha,
i-Athirothi-Shofani, iJazeri, iJogibheha,
36 Me Betenimera a me Beteharana, na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na pahipa.
iBhethi-Nimra kanye leBhethi-Harani aba ngamadolobho ahonqolozelwe ngemithangala, njalo bakha lezibaya zemihlambi yezifuyo zabo.
37 A kukulu aku la na mamo a Reubena ia Hesebona, me Eleale, a me Kiriataima,
Kanti-ke abakoRubheni bakha kakutsha iHeshibhoni, i-Eliyale kanye leKhiriyathayimi,
38 A me Nebo, me Baalameona, (ua hoololiia ko lakou mau inoa, ) a me Sibema: a mamuli o ua inoa, kapa aku lakou i na inoa o na kulanakauhale a lakou i kukulu ai.
kanye lokwakha iNebho kanye leBhali-Meyoni (la amabizo aguqulwa) leSibhima. Betha amadolobho abawakha kutsha amabizo.
39 A hele aku la na keiki a Makira ke keiki a Manase i Gileada, a lawe pio iho la ia wahi, a hookuke aku la i ka Amora e noho ana iloko olaila.
Izizukulwane zikaMakhiri indodana kaManase zaya eGiliyadi, zalithumba njalo zaxotsha ama-Amori ayekulelolizwe.
40 A haawi aku la o Mose ia Gileada ia Makira ke keiki a Manase, a noho iho la ia ilaila.
Ngakho uMosi wapha elaseGiliyadi kumaMakhiri, izizukulwane zikaManase, basebehlala khona.
41 Hele aku la hoi o Iaira ke keiki a Manase, a lawe pio aku la i na kauhale o ia wahi, a kapa aku la i ko lakou inoa, o Havota-iaira.
UJayiri, umzukulu kaManase, wathumba imizi yabo wayibiza ngokuthi yiHarothi Jayiri.
42 A hele aku la o Noba a lawe pio aku la ia Kenata, a me na kauhale ona, a kapa aku ia wahi, o Noba, mamuli o kona inoa iho.
Kanti uNobha wathumba iKhenathi kanye lemizi eyigqagqeleyo njalo wayetha ibizo lakhe wathi yiNobha.
