Amanani 34

1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

2 “Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof),

3 Icele leningizimu yenu lizahlanganisa isigaba esithile seNkangala yaseZini kulandela umngcele we-Edomi. Empumalanga, umngcele wenu weningizimu uzasukela ekucineni koLwandle lweTswayi,

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;

4 udabula eningizimu yoMkhandlu weNkume, kusiya ngaseZini njalo kuye eningizimu yeKhadeshi Bhaneya. Usuka lapho uzaqonda eHazari Adari njalo wedlulele e-Azimoni,

and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;

5 lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.

6 Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.

And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border [thereof]: this shall be your west border.

7 Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;

8 njalo usuka eNtabeni yaseHori uye eLebho Hamathi. Umngcele uzasuka lapho uqonde eZedadi,

from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;

9 ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.

and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

10 Okomngcele wenu wempumalanga, sukelani eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu.

And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;

11 Umngcele uzakwehla usuka eShefamu usiya eRibhila engempumalanga kwe-Ayini njalo uqhubeke ulandela umthezuko empumalanga koLwandle lwaseKhinerethi.

and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;

12 Kusuka lapho umngcele uzakwehla ulandela umfula uJodani uze uyecina oLwandle lweTswayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu, ngemingcele yalo inxa zonke.’”

and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.

13 UMosi walaya abako-Israyeli wathi: “Yabelanani lelilizwe ngenkatho njengelifa lenu. UThixo usekhuphe isiqondiso sokuthi aliphiwe izizwana eziyisificamunwemunye kanye lesizwana esiyingxenye,

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;

14 ngenxa yokuthi abezimuli zesizwana sikaRubheni, abesizwana sikaGadi kanye lengxenye yesizwana sikaManase sebethole isabelo sabo.

for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:

15 Izizwana lezi ezimbili kanye lalesi esiyingxenye sezithole isabelo sazo empumalanga komfula uJodani malungana leJerikho, ngokuya ngempumalanga.”

the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

17 “La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.

These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

19 La yiwo amabizo abo: uKhalebi indodana kaJefune, owesizwana sakoJuda;

And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 uShemuyeli indodana ka-Amihudi, owesizwana sakoSimiyoni;

And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

21 u-Elidadi indodana kaKhisiloni, owesizwana sakoBhenjamini;

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 uBhukhi indodana kaJogili, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sakoDani;

And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi, ongumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaManase indodana kaJosefa;

Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 uKhemuweli indodana kaShifuthani, engumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sako-Efrayimi indodana kaJosefa;

And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;

And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 uPhalithiyeli indodana ka-Azani, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Isakhari,

And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Asheri;

And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”

And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

29 La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.

These are they whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
