1 Hagi Kenani kumate kinia Arati kumate Negevi nemania kini ne'mo antahiama Israeli vahe'mo'za Atarimi karanka neaze hazankema nentahino'a, ha' ome huzamanteno mago'a Israeli vahera kina huzamanteno zamavareno vu'ne.
Kwathi inkosi yase-Aradi engumKhenani eyayihlala eNegebi isizwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babesiza behamba ngomgwaqo beqonde e-Atharimi, yabahlasela abako-Israyeli yaze yathumba abanye babo.
2 Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofonte huvempa ke hu'za, Kagrama ana vahe'ma tagri tazampi zamavarentesanketa rankumazmia eri haviza hugahune.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wenza lesisifungo kuThixo wathi: “Nxa unganikela lababantu ezandleni zethu, sizachithiza amadolobho abo nya.”
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi ke antahizamino Kenani vahera avrezamigeno, kumazmine, ana kumapi vahera zamahe fanane hu'naze. Ana hu'negu ana kuma'mofo agi'a Homae nehaze.
UThixo walalela ukuncenga kwabako-Israyeli wasenikela amaKhenani kubo. Abako-Israyeli bawaqothula amaKhenani bachithiza kanye lamadolobho awo; ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiHoma.
4 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Hori agona atre'za koranke hagerintega nevaza kantega, Idomu mopa rugagi'za vu'naze. Hianagi rama'a vahe'mo'za zaza ka nevu'za, zamavaresragu hu'naze.
Bahamba besuka entabeni yaseHori ngendlela eqonda oLwandle oluBomvu, ukuze baceze ilizwe lase-Edomi. Kodwa besendleleni abantu basebenengekile sebephelelwe yikubekezela;
5 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Anumzamofone Mosesenena ke ha'reneznante'za anage hu'naze, Nahigeta Isipitira tavreta ama hagege kokampina frisunegura e'na'e? Bretima ne'zana omanegeno, tima ne'zana omanegeta ama kefozama hu'nea mana nezankura tavresra hie!
bakhuluma kubi besola uNkulunkulu kanye loMosi, bathi, “Lasikhuphelani na eGibhithe ukuze sizefela enkangala? Akulasinkwa! Akulamanzi! Futhi lalokhu ukudla kwenu okubi siyakuzonda.”
6 Anage hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a ha' osifave huntegeno rama'a vahe zamaprige'za fri'naze.
Ngakho uThixo wasebathumela izinyoka ezazilobuhlungu obesabekayo kakhulu, zabaluma abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi bafa.
7 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosesente e'za anage hu'naze, kagri'ene Ra Anumzamofonema huhavizama hunte'nonana, hago kumi hu'none. Hagi nunamu hugeno Ra Anumzamo'a osifavea tagripintira avretreno. Anage hazageno Mosese'a ana vahera nunamuna huzamante'ne.
Abantu baya kuMosi bathi, “Sonile ngokukhuluma kwethu kubi ngoThixo langokukhuluma kwethu ngawe. Akukhuleke ukuthi uThixo asuse izinyoka lezi phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho wabakhulekela abantu.
8 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asami'ne. Mago ha' osifave bronsireti trohunka zaza zafare hantintenege'za osifavemo'ma zamaprisia vahe'mo'za ana osifavema kesga hu'za kesamo'za ofri'za manigahaze.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yenza inyoka yethusi uyiphanyeke esigodweni; loba ngubani olunyiweyo angakhangela kuyo uzaphila.”
9 Anage huno asamigeno Mosese'a bronsireti mago osifave tro huno za'za zafare ahekamarente'ne.
Ngakho uMosi wenza inyoka yethusi wayiphanyeka esigodweni. Kwakusithi lowo olunywe yinyoka angakhangela inyoka yethusi aphile.
10 Israeli vahe'mo'za vu'za Oboti kumate seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
Abako-Israyeli basuka baqhubeka baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Obhothi.
11 Hagi Oboti kumatetira atre'za vu'za Moapu mopamofo kama zage hanati kaziga hagege kokampi Ia-abarim seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'naze.
Basuka njalo e-Obhothi bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Iye-Abharimi, enkangala eyayimalungana leMowabi ngokuya ngempumalanga.
12 Anantetira vu'za Wadi Zere agupofi seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
Besuka lapho baqhubeka ngohambo baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo esigodini saseZeredi.
13 Hagi anantetira rugitagiza vu'za kantu kaziga Arnoni timofo Amori vahe'mokizmi hagage mopamofo agentega seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'naze. Na'ankure Moapu vahe'mokizmi mopane, Amori vahe'mokizmi mopa Arnoni timo refko hu'nere seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
Basuka lapho bayamisa izihonqo zabo eduze le-Arinoni esenkangala eqhelela elizweni lama-Amori. I-Arinoni isemngceleni welaseMowabi, phakathi laphakathi kweMowabi kanye lama-Amori.
14 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo hapinema hu'nea avontafemo'a huno, Wahepu Safa kaziga me'nea kumaku'ene tinkrahoku Arnoni tinku hu'ne.
Kungakho uGwalo lweziMpi zikaThixo lusithi: “Lokho akwenza oLwandle oLubomvu lakwenza emifuleni yeWahebhi eseSufa lemifuleni yase-Arinoni
15 Hagi ana karahomo'a Ari kumateti vuno, Moapu vahe kumate ome atre'ne.
lamawa ezindonga ehlela endaweni yase-Ari lasekela umngcele weMowabi.”
16 Anantetira mago'ane vu'za Beri tava'onte me'nea tin kerire vazageno Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena asamino, vahetamina kehutru huge'na tina zami'neno.
Besuka lapho baqhubeka baze bayafika eBheri, emthonjeni lapho uThixo athi kuMosi, “Buthanisa abantu ngibanike amanzi.”
17 E'i anante Israeli vahe'mo'za anage hu'za zagamera hu'naze, henami ti kerimoka hanatinka marerio, tinkerimoka! Zgame hugantone!
Ngakho abako-Israyeli bahlabela ingoma le ethi: “Mpompoza, wemthombo! Hlabelelani ngawo,
18 E'ina tinkeria ranra kva vahe'mo'za kafinte'naze. Hagi rankva vahe'mo'za avame'za me'nea azompareti'ene kama vanoma nehaza azompareti anankeria hanagati'za kafinte'naze. Ana hagege kokampintira Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za Matana kumate vu'naze.
ngomthombo owenjiwa ngamakhosana, owenjiwa yizikhulu zabantu, izikhulu ezilentonga zobukhosi kanye lezinduku.” Basuka-ke enkangala bayafika eMathana,
19 Hagi Matanatira Nahaliel vute'za, Nahalielitira Bamota vu'naze.
besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, besuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBhamothi,
20 Hagi Bamotitira Moapu kaziga me'nea agupofi Piska agonamo'ma hagege kokantega avugosama hunte'nerega e'naze.
kwathi besuka eBhamothi baqonda esigodini eMowabi, lapho isiqongo sentaba yasePhisiga esikhangele elizweni elilugwadule.
21 Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Amori kini ne' Sihonintega kea atrente'naze,
U-Israyeli wathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori wathi:
22 Tatregeta mopakafina rugitagita vamaneno. Hagi tagra hoza tamifino, waini hozatamifina ovuta, agentega nevuta, tinkeri tamifintira tina oneta kinimofo rankantega nevuta, mopaka'a agatereta vugahune.
“Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikuphambukela loba lakuliphi icele ukuze singene loba kuwaphi amasimu akho kumbe isivini, loba ukunatha amanzi emthonjeni loba yiwuphi. Sizazihambela nje ngomgwaqo omkhulu weNkosi size sedlule elizweni lakho.”
23 Hianagi Sihoni'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama mopa'afima rugitagiza evu'zankura i'o huno hunezmanteno, sondi'a vahe'a kehu atru hige'za, ana hagege kokampi vu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia Jehasi kumate hara eme huzamante'naze.
Kodwa uSihoni kavumanga ukuthi u-Israyeli adabule elizweni lakhe. USihoni waqoqa ibutho lakhe waphuma waqonda enkangala ukuyahlasela u-Israyeli. Wathi esefikile eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
24 Hianagi Israeli naga'mo'za kazinteti hara huzamagatere'za, ana vahe mopama Amoni tinte'ma vuno Jaboku tinteti'ma uhanati'nea mopa'zmia eri'naze. Hagi Amoni vahe'mokizmi mopafina uofre'naze. Na'ankure Amoni vahe'mo'za hanavenentake vihu hu'za mani'naze.
Kodwa u-Israyeli wamnqoba ngenkemba, wambhubhisa njalo wamthathela ilizwe lakhe kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki, kusiyafika elizweni lama-Amoni kuphela, ngoba umngcele walo wawuvikelwe ngemithangala.
25 Hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za ana mopafima me'nea ranra kuma'ene, neone kumara eri'za ana kumatamimpi mani'naze.
U-Israyeli wathatha wonke amadolobho ama-Amori wahlala kuwo, kwakugoqela iHeshibhoni kanye leziqinti ezaziyigombolozele.
26 Na'ankure Hesboni rankumara Amori kini ne' Sihoni nemania rankumare. Hagi ana mopa korapara Moapu kini ne'mo kegava hu'nea mopa aheno hanare'neankino, ana mopamo'a meno Arnoni uhanati'ne.
IHeshibhoni kwakulidolobho likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayelwe lenkosi yamaMowabi eyayikade ibusa khona wayinqoba wayithathela ilizwe layo lonke kuze kuyefika e-Arinoni.
27 E'ina agafare zagamema hazafina hu'za, enketa Hesboni kumara negita, Sihoni kumara erigafa hamaneno hu'za nehaze.
Yingakho izimbongi zisithi: “Wozani eHeshibhoni; kayivuselelwe yakhiwe njalo; akuthi idolobho likaSihoni livuselelwe.
28 Na'ankure Hesboni rankumateti tevea reno nevie. Teve anefara Sihoni kumateti huno nevuno, Moapu mopafima Ar kumama me'neana tefanane nehuno, teno vuno Arnoni tintegama marerinerega ome atre'ne.
Umlilo wavutha eHeshibhoni ilangabi lavela edolobheni likaSihoni. Laqothula i-Ari laseMowabi, abantu basemiqolweni yase-Arinoni.
29 Moapu vahe'moka nasunku hugantoe! Kemosi havi anumzamofo vahe'mota haviza haze! Ne'mofavretami zamazeri haviza hige'za fre'za vano nehu'za hazanke erinentazageno, mofanezmia Amori kini ne' Sihoni'ma zamavareno kina huzmanteankna nehaze.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe lina, Oh bantu baseKhemoshi! Usedele amadodana akhe njengeziphepheli lamadodakazi njengabathunjiweyo bethunjwa nguSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.
30 Hianagi Hesboni kumatetima agafa huno vuno Dibonima uhanati'nea kumatamimpi vahera tagra nezamaheta, kumazmia zamazeri haviza hu'none. Hagi Nofa kuma'enena azeri havizantfa huta vuta Medeba kumate uhanati'none.
Kodwa thina sibehlule; iHeshibhoni siyitshabalalisile kuze kuyefika eDibhoni. Sibachithile kwaze kwaba seNofa, eqhelela eMedebha.”
31 E'ina hute'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Amori vahe mopafina mani'naze.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala elizweni lama-Amori.
32 Hagi Jazeri kumama afure'za kesazegu Mosese'a huzmantege'za vute'za ageno, Jazeri kuma tava'onte'ma Amori vahe'ma mani kagi'naza vahera Israeli vahe'mo'za ha'huzamante'za zamahe natitre'naze.
Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele inhloli eJazeri, abako-Israyeli bathumba iziqinti eziseduze njalo baxotsha ama-Amori ayehlala khona.
33 Hagi anantetira rukrahe hu'za Basani kaziga karanka mareri'za vu'naze. Hagi nevazageno Basani kini ne' Ogi'a ha'huzamante'naku sondia vahe'a kehutru hige'za Ederi kumate e'naze.
Basebephenduka bahamba ngomgwaqo oya eBhashani. U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lebutho lakhe lonke baphuma ukuyahlangana labako-Israyeli ukubahlasela e-Edreyi.
34 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Ko agri'ene vahe'ane mopa'anena kagri kazampi avrentoanki korera huonto. Kagra Amori vahe'mokizmi kinima Sihoni'ma Hesboni kumate'ma nemania nete'ma hu'nanaza hugahane.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ungamesabi, ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.”
35 Hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za Ogine ne' mofavre'ane naga'ane vahe'anena ha'huzamante'za zamahe vagarazageno, mago vahere huno ana mopafina omanige'za ana mopa eri'naze.
Ngakho bambulala ndawonye lamadodana akhe kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo. Basebethatha ilizwe lakhe.
