< Amanani 32 >
1 AbakoRubheni labakoGadi ababelemihlambi emikhulu yenkomo leyezimvu babona ukuthi amadlelo emangweni weJazeri leGiliyadi ayemahle ezifuyweni.
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;
2 Ngakho baya kuMosi laku-Eliyazari umphristi lakubakhokheli babantu, bathi,
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,
3 “Umhlaba we-Atharothi, leDibhoni, leJazeri, leNimra, leHeshibhoni, le-Eliyale, leSebhami, leNebho kanye leBheyoni,
O Atarota, o Dibona, o Iazera, o Nimera, o Hesebona, o Eleale, o Sebama, o Nebo, a o Beona,
4 uThixo awunqoba phambi kwabako-Israyeli, ngumhlaba olungele izifuyo, njalo thina nceku zenu silezifuyo.”
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.
5 Basebesithi, “Nxa sifumene umusa emehlweni enu, lelilizwe aliphiwe izinceku zenu libe yisabelo sethu. Lingenzi ukuba sichaphe uJodani.”
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.
6 UMosi wabuza abakoGadi labakoRubheni wathi, “Kambe lingahlala lapha amanye amadoda akini esiya empini na?
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?
7 Kungani lithelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukuchaphela elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo na?
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?
8 Yikho lokhu okwenziwa ngoyihlo ekubathumeni kwami besuka eKhadeshi Bhaneya ukuyahlola ilizwe.
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.
9 Bathi sebehambe baze bayafika eSigodini sase-Eshikholi balibona ilizwe, bathelela abako-Israyeli ukwesaba ukungena elizweni abaliphiwa nguThixo.
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.
10 Ulaka lukaThixo lwaqubuka ngalolosuku waze wenza lesisifungo.
A ua hoaia ka inaina o Iehova ia la, a hoohiki iho la ia, i ka i ana mai,
11 ‘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,
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:
12 kakho loyedwa ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune umKhenizi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, ngoba laba balandela uThixo ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo.’
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.
13 Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha wabazondela abako-Israyeli njalo wabenza bantula enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, kwaze kwaphela bonke abentanga yalabo ababonile phambi kukaThixo.
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.
14 Khathesi nanku-ke lina, nzalo yezoni, selimi endaweni yaboyihlo libangela ukuthi uThixo athukuthelele abako-Israyeli ngamandla.
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.
15 Nxa lingala ukumlandela, uThixo uzaphinde atshiye bonke lababantu bakhe enkangala, njalo kuzabe kuyini elibangele incithakalo yabo.”
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.
16 Ngakho beza kuye bathi, “Sifuna ukwakha izibaya zezifuyo zethu njalo sakhele omkethu labantwabethu amadolobho.
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:
17 Kodwa thina sesilungele ukuzihlomisa ukuze sikhokhele abako-Israyeli size siyebafikisa endaweni yabo. Kunjalo-nje omkethu labantwabethu bazasala emadolobheni avikelekileyo, ukuze bangahlaselwa ngabanikazi balelolizwe.
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.
18 Kasiyikubuyela kweyethu imizi wonke owako-Israyeli aze azuze isabelo sakhe.
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.
19 Thina kasiyikuzuza isabelo kanye labo ngale kweJodani, ngoba esethu isabelo sisithole ngapha ngempumalanga kweJodani.”
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.
20 Ngakho uMosi wathi kubo, “Nxa lizakwenza lokhu, lizihlomisele ukuhlasela phambi kukaThixo,
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,
21 njalo nxa lonke lizahamba lihlomile ngale kweJodani phambi kukaThixo aze adudule izitha phambi kwakhe,
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,
22 kuthi nxa ilizwe selinqotshiwe phambi kukaThixo selingaphenduka njalo liyabe selikhululekile emlandwini wenu kuThixo laku-Israyeli. Ngalokho-ke lelilizwe lizakuba yisabelo senu phambi kukaThixo.
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.
23 Kodwa lingehluleka ukwenza lokhu, lizabe lonile phambi kukaThixo; njalo yazini ukuthi isono senu sizalifumana.
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.
24 Yakhelani abesifazane benu labantwabenu amadolobho, njalo lakhele izifuyo zenu izibaya, kodwa yenzani lokho elikuthembisileyo.”
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.
25 AbakoGadi labakoRubheni bathi kuMosi, “Thina izinceku zakho sizakwenza njengokulaya kwenkosi yethu.
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.
26 Abantwabethu labomkethu, imihlambi yezimvu zethu leyenkomo zethu kuzasala lapha emadolobheni aseGiliyadi.
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:
27 Kodwa thina zinceku zakho, yonke indoda ehlomele ukuhlasela, izachapha iyekulwa phambi kukaThixo, njengokutsho kwenkosi yethu.”
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.
28 UMosi wasekhupha ilizwi lesiqondiso ngabo ku-Eliyazari umphristi lakuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye lakulabo abazinhloko zezimuli zezizwana zako-Israyeli.
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:
29 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.
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:
30 Kodwa nxa bengachaphanga lani behlomile, kumele bemukele isabelo sabo kunye lani eKhenani.”
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.
31 AbakoGadi labakoRubheni baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zizakwenza okutshiwo nguThixo.
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.
32 Sizachaphela ngale phambi kukaThixo singene eKhenani sihlomile, kodwa ilifa eliyisabelo sethu lizakuba nganeno kweJodani.”
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.
33 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.
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.
34 AbakoGadi bakha iDibhoni, i-Atharothi, i-Aroweri,
A kukulu aku la na mamo a Gada ia Dibona, me Atarota, me Aroera,
35 i-Athirothi-Shofani, iJazeri, iJogibheha,
Me Aterota, me Sopana, me Iazera, a me Iogebeha,
36 iBhethi-Nimra kanye leBhethi-Harani aba ngamadolobho ahonqolozelwe ngemithangala, njalo bakha lezibaya zemihlambi yezifuyo zabo.
Me Betenimera a me Beteharana, na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na pahipa.
37 Kanti-ke abakoRubheni bakha kakutsha iHeshibhoni, i-Eliyale kanye leKhiriyathayimi,
A kukulu aku la na mamo a Reubena ia Hesebona, me Eleale, a me Kiriataima,
38 kanye lokwakha iNebho kanye leBhali-Meyoni (la amabizo aguqulwa) leSibhima. Betha amadolobho abawakha kutsha amabizo.
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.
39 Izizukulwane zikaMakhiri indodana kaManase zaya eGiliyadi, zalithumba njalo zaxotsha ama-Amori ayekulelolizwe.
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.
40 Ngakho uMosi wapha elaseGiliyadi kumaMakhiri, izizukulwane zikaManase, basebehlala khona.
A haawi aku la o Mose ia Gileada ia Makira ke keiki a Manase, a noho iho la ia ilaila.
41 UJayiri, umzukulu kaManase, wathumba imizi yabo wayibiza ngokuthi yiHarothi Jayiri.
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.
42 Kanti uNobha wathumba iKhenathi kanye lemizi eyigqagqeleyo njalo wayetha ibizo lakhe wathi yiNobha.
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.
