Amanani 21
1 Kwathi inkosi yase-Aradi engumKhenani eyayihlala eNegebi isizwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babesiza behamba ngomgwaqo beqonde e-Atharimi, yabahlasela abako-Israyeli yaze yathumba abanye babo.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAlati, ko e Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu tonga, kuo haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ʻoe kau mataki; naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakapōpulaʻi.
2 Ngakho u-Israyeli wenza lesisifungo kuThixo wathi: “Nxa unganikela lababantu ezandleni zethu, sizachithiza amadolobho abo nya.”
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tuku mai ʻae kakai ni ki hoku nima, te u toki fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa honau ngaahi kolo.”
3 UThixo walalela ukuncenga kwabako-Israyeli wasenikela amaKhenani kubo. Abako-Israyeli bawaqothula amaKhenani bachithiza kanye lamadolobho awo; ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiHoma.
Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tuku atu ʻae kau Kēnani; pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu mo honau ngaahi kolo: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Hoama.
4 Bahamba besuka entabeni yaseHori ngendlela eqonda oLwandle oluBomvu, ukuze baceze ilizwe lase-Edomi. Kodwa besendleleni abantu basebenengekile sebephelelwe yikubekezela;
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he hala ʻi he Tahi Kulokula, ke kāpui ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi: pea naʻe vaivai ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai koeʻuhi ko e hala.
5 bakhuluma kubi besola uNkulunkulu kanye loMosi, bathi, “Lasikhuphelani na eGibhithe ukuze sizefela enkangala? Akulasinkwa! Akulamanzi! Futhi lalokhu ukudla kwenu okubi siyakuzonda.”
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, pea mo Mōsese, [ʻo pehē], “Ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke mau mate ʻi he toafa ni? He ʻoku ʻikai ha mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai; pea ʻoku mau fehiʻa ki he mā pahapahangi ni.”
6 Ngakho uThixo wasebathumela izinyoka ezazilobuhlungu obesabekayo kakhulu, zabaluma abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi bafa.
Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga ngata fakavela ki he kakai, pea naʻa nau ʻuusi ʻae kakai; pea naʻe mate ai ʻae kakai tokolahi.
7 Abantu baya kuMosi bathi, “Sonile ngokukhuluma kwethu kubi ngoThixo langokukhuluma kwethu ngawe. Akukhuleke ukuthi uThixo asuse izinyoka lezi phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho wabakhulekela abantu.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau angahala he kuo mau lāunga kia Sihova, pea mo koe; ke ke lotu kia Sihova, ke ne ʻave ʻae fanga ngata ni ʻiate kimautolu. Pea naʻe hūfia ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai.”
8 UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yenza inyoka yethusi uyiphanyeke esigodweni; loba ngubani olunyiweyo angakhangela kuyo uzaphila.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ngaohi maʻau ha ngata fakavela, ʻo ʻai ia ki ha ʻakau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia kuo ʻūsia, ʻoka sio ia ki ai, ʻe moʻui ai ia.
9 Ngakho uMosi wenza inyoka yethusi wayiphanyeka esigodweni. Kwakusithi lowo olunywe yinyoka angakhangela inyoka yethusi aphile.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata palasa ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ʻakau, pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau kuo ʻūsia ha tangata ʻe ha ngata, pea sio ia ki he ngata palasa, naʻe moʻui ia.
10 Abako-Israyeli basuka baqhubeka baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Obhothi.
Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo nofo ʻi ʻOpoti.
11 Basuka njalo e-Obhothi bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Iye-Abharimi, enkangala eyayimalungana leMowabi ngokuya ngempumalanga.
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ʻOpoti, ʻo nofo ʻi ʻIsi-ʻEpalemi, ʻi he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga fonua ʻo Moape, ki he hopoʻanga ʻoe laʻā.
12 Besuka lapho baqhubeka ngohambo baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo esigodini saseZeredi.
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ʻo nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Seleti.
13 Basuka lapho bayamisa izihonqo zabo eduze le-Arinoni esenkangala eqhelela elizweni lama-Amori. I-Arinoni isemngceleni welaseMowabi, phakathi laphakathi kweMowabi kanye lama-Amori.
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli: he ko ʻAlanoni ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Moape mo e kau ʻAmoli.
14 Kungakho uGwalo lweziMpi zikaThixo lusithi: “Lokho akwenza oLwandle oLubomvu lakwenza emifuleni yeWahebhi eseSufa lemifuleni yase-Arinoni
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, “Mei Vaepa mo Sufa, pea mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni,
15 lamawa ezindonga ehlela endaweni yase-Ari lasekela umngcele weMowabi.”
Pea mo e manga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻaia ʻoku tafe ki lalo ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ʻAla pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape.”
16 Besuka lapho baqhubeka baze bayafika eBheri, emthonjeni lapho uThixo athi kuMosi, “Buthanisa abantu ngibanike amanzi.”
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ki Piea ko e vai keli ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Fakataha ʻae kakai, pea te u foaki ʻae vai kiate kinautolu.”
17 Ngakho abako-Israyeli bahlabela ingoma le ethi: “Mpompoza, wemthombo! Hlabelelani ngawo,
Pea naʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “Tupu hake, ʻe vai keli ē; mou hiva ki ai:
18 ngomthombo owenjiwa ngamakhosana, owenjiwa yizikhulu zabantu, izikhulu ezilentonga zobukhosi kanye lezinduku.” Basuka-ke enkangala bayafika eMathana,
Naʻe keli ʻae vai ʻe he houʻeiki mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻaki ʻa honau ngaahi tokotoko, ʻi he [enginaki ʻo ia naʻe ]fai fono.” Pea naʻa nau hiki mei he toafa ki Matana.
19 besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, besuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBhamothi,
Pea mei Matana ki Neʻelili: pea mei Neʻelili ki Pamoti:
20 kwathi besuka eBhamothi baqonda esigodini eMowabi, lapho isiqongo sentaba yasePhisiga esikhangele elizweni elilugwadule.
Pea mei Pamoti ki he vahaʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sesimoni.
21 U-Israyeli wathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori wathi:
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻo pehē,
22 “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.”
“Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he ngoue, pe ki he ngoue vaine; ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe vai keli: ka te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, kaeʻoua ke mau tuku kimui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.”
23 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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Sihoni ke fononga atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe fakataha ʻe Sihoni ʻa hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea naʻa ne haʻu ki Sehasi, ʻo tau ki ʻIsileli.
24 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.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻa nau maʻu hono fonua mei ʻAlanoni ki Sakopi, ʻo aʻu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni: he naʻe mālohi ʻae ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
25 U-Israyeli wathatha wonke amadolobho ama-Amori wahlala kuwo, kwakugoqela iHeshibhoni kanye leziqinti ezaziyigombolozele.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kolo ni kotoa pē: pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻi Hesiponi, pea mo hono potu kakai kotoa pē.
26 IHeshibhoni kwakulidolobho likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayelwe lenkosi yamaMowabi eyayikade ibusa khona wayinqoba wayithathela ilizwe layo lonke kuze kuyefika e-Arinoni.
He ko Hesiponi ko e kolo ia ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe tau ki he tuʻi ʻe taha ʻo Moape, ʻo ne maʻu mei hono nima ʻa hono fonua kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki ʻAlanoni.
27 Yingakho izimbongi zisithi: “Wozani eHeshibhoni; kayivuselelwe yakhiwe njalo; akuthi idolobho likaSihoni livuselelwe.
Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa lea ʻi he lea fakatātā, “Haʻu ki Hesiponi, langaʻi hake mo teuteu ʻae kolo ʻo Sihoni.
28 Umlilo wavutha eHeshibhoni ilangabi lavela edolobheni likaSihoni. Laqothula i-Ari laseMowabi, abantu basemiqolweni yase-Arinoni.
He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae afi ʻi Hesiponi, ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo ʻo Sihoni: kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻAla ʻi Moape, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAlanoni.
29 Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe lina, Oh bantu baseKhemoshi! Usedele amadodana akhe njengeziphepheli lamadodakazi njengabathunjiweyo bethunjwa nguSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.
ʻOku malaʻia ʻa ko e Moape! Kuo ke ʻauha, ʻE kakai ʻo Kimosi: kuo foaki ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine kuo hao, ke pōpula kia Sihoni, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
30 Kodwa thina sibehlule; iHeshibhoni siyitshabalalisile kuze kuyefika eDibhoni. Sibachithile kwaze kwaba seNofa, eqhelela eMedebha.”
Naʻa mau fanaʻi ʻakinautolu; kuo ʻauha ʻa Hesiponi ʻo aʻu ki Tiponi, pea kuo mau fakalala ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Nofa, ʻaia ʻoku aʻu ki Metipa.”
31 Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala elizweni lama-Amori.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
32 Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele inhloli eJazeri, abako-Israyeli bathumba iziqinti eziseduze njalo baxotsha ama-Amori ayehlala khona.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke matakiʻi ʻa Sesa, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea naʻa nau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
33 Basebephenduka bahamba ngomgwaqo oya eBhashani. U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lebutho lakhe lonke baphuma ukuyahlangana labako-Israyeli ukubahlasela e-Edreyi.
Pea naʻa nau foki ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ʻo Pesani: pea ko Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani naʻe ʻalu atu ia kiate kinautolu, ʻa ia, pea mo hono kakai, ki he tau ʻi ʻEtilei.
34 UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ungamesabi, ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he kuo u tuku ia ki ho nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.”
35 Ngakho bambulala ndawonye lamadodana akhe kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo. Basebethatha ilizwe lakhe.
Pea ko ia, naʻa nau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha moʻui kiate ia: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono fonua.
