1 Ama avontafepi nanekea Mosese'a maka Israeli vahema Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga ka'ma kopi Jodani agupofi Sufu kuma tavaonte, Parani kumaki, Tofeli kumaki, Labani kumaki, Hazeroti kuma'ene Disahap kumatamimofo amu'nompi seli nozamia ome ki'za mani'nazageno zmasami'nea naneke.
La ngamazwi akhulunywa nguMosi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli enkangala, empumalanga yeJodani, lokhu kuyikuthi, e-Arabha, maqondana leSufi, phakathi kwePharani leThofeli, eLabhani, eHazerothi kanye laseDizahabi.
2 Hagi Horepi agonareti'ma Kades-Barnea vunaku Seili agonama me'nea kante'ma vananana, 11ni'a zagegna vugahane.
(Loluhambo luthatha insuku ezilitshumi lanye ukusuka eHorebhi kusiya eKhadeshi Bhaneya ngomgwaqo odlula eNtabeni yaseSeyiri.)
3 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama Isipi mopama atre'zama vu'nazareti'ma, e'nea kna'a 40'a kafu manizageno, 11ni ikamofona ese knarera Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamasamioma huno Mosesema asami'nea kante anteno, ana nanekea zamasami'ne.
Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane, ngosuku lwakuqala lwenyanga yetshumi lanye, uMosi wamemezela kwabako-Israyeli konke lokho uThixo ayemlaye ngakho ngabo.
4 E'i ana nanekea Hesboni kumate mani'neno, Amori mopama kegava hu'nea kini ne' Sihonine, Astarot kumate'ene, Edrei kumate'ma mani'neno Basani mopama kegavama hu'nea kini ne' Ogine hara huznagatereteno zamasami'nea naneke.
Lokhu kwakungemva kokuba esenqobe uSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni, njalo wayesenqobe e-Edreyi u-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani, owayebusa e-Ashitharothi.
5 Joda timofona zage hanati kaziga, Moapu mopafima Israeli vahe'ma mani'nazageno'a Mosese'a Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea nanekea amanage huno eriama huno zamasami'ne.
Empumalanga kweJodani elizweni laseMowabi, uMosi waqalisa ukufundisa ngalo umthetho, esithi:
6 Horepi agonafima mani'nonkeno'a Ra Anumzana Anumzantimo'a amanage hu'ne. Hago za'za kna ama agonafina manize.
“UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wakhuluma lathi siseHorebhi wathi, ‘Selihlale isikhathi eseneleyo kule intaba.
7 Kama vanazana rukrahe huta Amori vahe'mofo agonage kokampine, tavaozmire'ma nemaniza vahe'mofo mopama, Araba agona mopafine, agupo mopafine, Negevi mopafine, hagerinkena mopafine, Keneni vahe mopafine, Lebanoni vahe mopafine, Yufretisi rantima me'neregane vugahaze.
Dilizani izihonqo zenu ledlulele elizweni lamaqaqa lama-Amori; yanini kubo bonke abangomakhelwane e-Arabha, ezintabeni, emawatheni angentshonalanga, eNegebi lilandelele ukhumbi, liye ezweni lamaKhenani kanye laseLebhanoni, lidabule lize liyefika emfuleni omkhulu, iYufrathe.
8 Keho ama maka moparamina neramuanki, ufreta omeriho. Na'ankure Nagra tamagehe'ima Abrahamune, Aisakine, Jekopunema huvempa huzamante'na ama mopa tamagehe'i zamigahue hu'noe.
Khangelani, sengiliphile lelilizwe. Ngenani lilithumbe lelilizwe uThixo afunga wathi uzalipha okhokho benu, u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka, uJakhobe kanye lezizukulwane zabo emva kwabo.’”
9 Ana knazupa nagra amanage hu'na tamasami'noe. Rama'a vahe mani'nazanki'na nagrake knatamia eri'na tamavre'na vugara osu'noe.
“Ngalesosikhathi ngathi kini, ‘Lina lingumthwalo omkhulu kakhulu onzima ukuthi ngiwuthwale ngingedwa.
10 Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a menina tamazeri rama'a higeta, monafi hanafikna huta tusi vahekrefa fore huta mani'naze.
UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu usengezelele amanani enu okokuthi lamuhla selilingana lezinkanyezi zemkhathini.
11 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamo'a huvempama hu'nea kante tauseni'a zupa agatereno tamazeri rama'a nehuno, asomura huramantesie.
Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, angalibusisa njalo alandise ngokuphindwe kankulungwane njengokuthembisa kwakhe!
12 Hanki inankna hu'na nagrakera tamagri knazana e'neri'na, ha' frama hanaza zana tamazeri fatgo hugahue?
Kodwa ngingazithwala njani inhlupho zenu lemithwalo yenu kanye lezingxabano zenu ngingedwa na?
13 Hagi naga nofitamifintira knare antahi'zane vahe'ma, vahe'mo'zama kesga huzmantesage'za manine'za, havi zanki knare zanki'ma hu'za knare antahi'zanteti'ma refkoma huga vahe zamazeri otinke'na nagra huhampri zamantanena kvatamia manigahaze.
Khethani amadoda akhaliphileyo, azwisisayo lahloniphekayo phakathi kwezizwana zakini zonke, mina ngizawabeka alikhokhele.’
14 Hagi tamagra amanage huta ana ke'nirera nasami'naze, kagrama hana antahintahimo'a knare hu'ne huta hu'naze.
Langiphendula lathi, ‘Lokho ofisa ukukwenza kulungile.’
15 Anagema hazage'na knare antahintahine vahe'ma zamagesgama nehaza vahera mago'a zamavare'na tauseni'a vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamante'na, mago'a handreti'a vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamante'na, mago'a 50'a vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamante'na, mago'a 10ni'a vahete kva vahe huhampri nezamante'na, magoke magoke naga nofipi kva vahetami, huhampri zmantetere hu'noe.
Ngakho ngathatha abakhokheli bezizwana zenu, amadoda akhaliphileyo njalo ahloniphekayo, ngabanika amandla phezu kwenu ukuze babe ngabalawuli bezinkulungwane, bamakhulu, bamatshumi amahlanu, betshumi kanye lokuba yizikhulu zezizwana zenu.
16 Anagema hute'na amanage hu'na ana kva vahetmina zamasami'noe, tamagra keagama refko'ma hanazana, tamagra'a vahetmimofo kegaga refko nehuta, ru vahe'ma tamagranema enemaniza vahe'mofo kegaga refko hugahazanki, fatgo huta kegaga refko hiho.
Njalo ngapha isiqondiso kubahluleli ngalesosikhathi ngathi: ‘Hluzani ingxabano phakathi kwabafowenu njalo lahlulele ngokufaneleyo, kungakhathalekile ukuthi yingxabano phakathi kwabako-Israyeli bodwa loba kungowako-Israyeli oxabana lowezizweni.
17 Hagi kegagama refkoma hanafina, magomofo kazigagera onteho. Agi me'nea vahero, agi omane vahera mago'zanke hutma refkoa hugahaze. Mago vahekura korera osiho, na'ankure fatgoma huno refkoma hu'zana Anumzamofo avu'ava me'ne. Hagi amuhoma huramantenia kegaga nagrite erita e'nage'na nagra refkoa hugahue.
Lingathathi hlangothi ekwahluleleni; hluzani amacala abancinyane labakhulu ngokufananayo. Lingesabi loba ngubani, ngoba ukwahlulela ngokukaNkulunkulu. Kuthi icala elinzima lililethe kimi, ngizalihluza ngilahlulele.’
18 Ana'ma hute'na maka tamagrama hanaza zantamina, e'inahu'za hiho hu'na huhankaveti'na hurmante'noe.
Njalo ngalesosikhathi ngalitshela konke okwakumele likwenze.”
19 Hagi anama huteta Horepia atreta Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteta, Amori vahe agona kokampine, tusi'a hagage ka'ma kokampi Kades Banea ehanati'none.
“Kwathi-ke, njengoba uThixo wethu wayesilayile, sasuka eHorebhi saqonda ezweni lama-Amori elilamaqaqa sadabula inkangala enkulu eyesabekayo eseliyibonile, saze sayafika eKhadeshi Bhaneya.
20 Hagi nagra amanage hu'na tamasami'noe, Amori vahe agona mopama Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma tamigahuema hu'nea mopafi ehanatize hu'na tamasami'noe.
Ngakho ngathi kini, ‘Selifikile elizweni lama-Amori elamaqaqa, ilizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asinika lona.
21 Keho! Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo mopa tami'ne. Hagi korera osuta Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamo'ma zamasami'nea kante anteta mopa omerita maniho.
Khangelani, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uselinike lelilizwe. Hambani lilithumbe njengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alitshela. Lingesabi; lingadangali.’
22 Anante miko vahe'mota nagrite eta amanage hu'naze, mago'a vahe huzmantesunke'za vu'za ana mopa ome nege'za, inankante vuta, ina kuma kora omerigahune ome kete'za eme tasamiho huta hu'naze.
Kusenjalo lina lonke leza kimi lathi, ‘Asithumeni amadoda ahambe phambili ayehlola lelolizwe abuye azositshengisa indlela esizangena ngayo kanye leyokuthumba amadolobho esizafikela kuwo.’
23 E'i ana ketamima antahuana knare hige'na, mago mago naga nofipinti mago vahe avaretere hugeno, ana mika 12fu'a hazage'na,
Lokho kwakhanya kungumbono omuhle kimi; lakanye ngakhetha abalitshumi lababili phakathi kwenu, indoda eyodwa esizwaneni ngasinye.
24 ana vahera huzmantoge'za agona kokantegati agafa hu'za mopa afure'za vu'za, Eskoli agupofi uhanati'naze.
Basuka baya ezweni lamaqaqa njalo bafika bahlola isihotsha sase-Eshikholi.
25 Hagi ana mopafintira mago'a zafa raga tagiza e'za amanage hu'za eme tasami'naze, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo knare mopa neramie hu'naze.
Bathatha ezinye izithelo zelizwe babuya lazo kithi, njalo bethula umbiko othi, ‘Yilizwe elihle uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asipha lona.’”
26 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma hurmantea kea rutagreta, ana mopafina ovu'naze.
“Kodwa lina lalingazimiselanga ukuhamba; lahlamukela uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngokungalaleli umlayo wakhe.
27 Tamagra seli nontmifi mani'neta ke hakare huta amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a avesra huranteno, Amori vahe'mofo zamazampi tatresige'za, tazeri haviza hanazegu Isipi mopafintira tavreno atiramino e'ne huta hu'naze.
Lina lakhonona lisemathenteni enu lathi, ‘UThixo uyasizonda; kutsho ukuthi wasikhipha eGibhithe ukuze asinikele ezandleni zama-Amori ukuthi asibhubhise.
28 Tagra iga vugahune? Nerafu'zama hu'za ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za tagrira tagatere'za za'za hu'za ranra vahe manizageno, ranra kumazamimofona hankavenentake vihu hugagizageno, Anaki ranra vahetamimofo mofavrezaga ke'none hu'za eme tasami'naza kemo'a tagu'amofona tazeri fakro fakro hu'ne.
Singaya ngaphi na? Abafowethu sebesithelele ubuthakathaka. Bathi bona, “Abantu bakhona balamandla njalo bade kulathi; amadolobho akhona makhulu, alemiduli etshaya emkhathini. Size sabona lama-Anakhi khonale.”’
29 Anante nagra amanage hu'na tamasami'noe, ana vahekura antri huta korera osiho.
Mina ngasengisithi kini, ‘Lingethuki; lingabesabi.
30 Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamavugama nevia Anumzamo'a, Isipima mani'neta negazageno ha'ma huno tamavareno'ma e'neaza huno tamagritega anteno hara hugahie.
UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ohamba phambi kwenu uzalilwela, njengalokho alenzela khona eGibhithe lizibonela ngamehlo enu,
31 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma ka'ma kokampima, mago ne'mo mofavrea avresga huno eankna huno tamavareno eno, ama kumate'ma ehanati'neana hago ke'naze.
njalo lasenkangala. Khonale lazibonela ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu walithwala, njengobaba ethwala indodana yakhe, uhambo lwenu lonke laze lafika lapha.’
32 Hianagi anama hu'nea zankura tamagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzana antahimita tamentintia hunonteta,
Lanxa kunjalo, kalizange limethembe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
33 vugota huno hanimpima tevefi manino tamavreno nevuno, masafina hampompi manino tamavreno nevuno, seli noma kisaza kumara tamaveri nehuno, kama vanaza kana tamaveri huno vu'nea Ra Anumzana tamefi hunemize.
yena owahamba phambi kwenu kuloluhambo, elikhokhela ngomlilo ebusuku kanti kusiba leyezi emini, elidingela izindawo zokumisa izihonqo zenu lokulitshengisa lapho okumele liye khona.
34 Hagi ke hakarema hu'naza kea Ra Anumzamo'a nentahino, tusi rimpahegeno amanage huno huvempa kea hu'ne.
Kwathi uThixo esezwile elalikutsho, wathukuthela, wafunga wathi:
35 Amama mani'naza vahe'motagura Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Maka kefo tamavutmava'ene vahekitma, knare mopama tamagehe'mofoma zamigahue hu'nama huhaprizamante'noa mopafina, ovutfa hugahaze.
‘Kakho loyedwa kulesisizukulwane esingalunganga ozalibona lelolizwe engafungela ukulipha okhokho benu,
36 Hagi Jefune nemofo Kalepike'za ana mopa ome kegahie. Agrama ome keteno'ma e'nea mopa agri'ene mofavre naga'amokizmi zamigahue. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzamofo kea agu'areti huno avariri fatgo hu'ne.
ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune. Yena uzalibona, njalo ngizamupha yena lesizukulwane sakhe lelolizwe azafikela kilo, ngoba walalela uThixo ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke.’
37 Hagi tamagrama haza avu'avazante Ra Anumzamo'a nagri'enena rimpa ahenanteno amanage huno nasami'ne, kagranena ana mopafina uofregahane hu'ne.
Ngenxa yenu uThixo wangithukuthelela lami njalo wathi, ‘Wena lawe awuyikungena khona.
38 Hagi Nuni nemofo Josua'ma kazama huno eri'zama e'neria ne'mo, ana mopafina ufregahie. Hanki antahintahia aminka azeri hanavetio, na'ankure agra Israeli vahera zamavareno ufrenige'za, ana mopa omerigahaze.
Kodwa umsekeli wakho, uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, uzangena kulelolizwe. Umkhuthaze yena, ngoba uzakhokhela abako-Israyeli kulo ukuba libe yilifa labo.
39 Hagi havizane knare zanema antahi ama'ma osu'naza neonse mofavretami zamatresuge'za ana mopafina ufresage'na, ana mopa zamisuge'za eri'za manigahaze.
Kanti njalo lalabo abancane elalisithi bazathunjwa, abantwabenu abangakehlukanisi phakathi kokubi lokuhle, bazangena kulelolizwe. Ngizabapha lona njalo bazalithatha libe ngelabo.
40 Hianagi tamagra rukrahe huta ka'ma mopafi koranke hagerima me'nea kantega vu'naze.
Kodwa lina, phendukani njalo lisuke liqonde enkangala lilandele indlela eya oLwandle oluBomvu.’
41 Anante tamagra amanage huta kenona hu'naze, tagra Ra Anumzamofontera kumi hu'nonanagi, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteta hara ome hugahune. Anagema nehuta ha' zantamina retro huta fru hu'neankita amane hara ome huta agona mopa omerigahune huta hu'naze.
Lina laphendula lathi, ‘Sonile kuThixo. Sizahamba siyekulwa, njengokulaywa kwethu nguThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.’ Ngalokho lonke lahloma ngezikhali linakana ukuthi kulula ukungena elizweni lamaqaqa.
42 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, zamasamige'za mareri'za hara ome osiho. Na'ankure ha'ma ome hanazana Nagra zamagranena ovugahuankino, ha' vahe'zmimo'za hara huzmagateregahaze hige'na tamasami'noe.
Kodwa uThixo wathi kimi, ‘Wothi kubo, “Lingayi ukuyakulwa, ngoba kangiyikuba lani. Lizakwehlulwa yizitha zenu.”’
43 Hianagi kea ontahita tamagra Ra Anumzamofo kea eri atreta tamagra tamavesi avaririta ha' ome hunaku agonage kokampina mareri'naze.
Ngakho ngalitshela, kodwa kalizange lilalele. Lahlamukela umlayo kaThixo kwathi ngobuqholo benu layangena elizweni lamaqaqa.
44 Hianagi Amori vahe'ma ana agona kokampima nemaniza vahe'mo'za, tumemo'ma erintaguma huno eaza hu'za Seiri kumateti tamahe'za tamarotgo hute'za Homa kumate uhanati'naze.
Kwathi ama-Amori ayehlala kulawomaqaqa alihlangabeza alihlasela; alixotsha njengomtshitshi wenyosi, alibhuqa kusukela eSeyiri indlela yonke kusiya eHoma.
45 Anama hazageta ete etma Ra Anumzamofo avuga zavira eme ate'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a ana zavi krafa tamia antahi ontami'ne.
Laphenduka lafika lakhala phambi kukaThixo kodwa kazange alalele ukukhala kwenu walifulathela.
46 E'ina higeta Kades Banea kumate zazakna mani'naze.
Ngakho lahlala eKhadeshi okwensuku ezinengi, okwesikhathi sonke elasichitha likhonale.”
