Amanani 34
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:
Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits, )
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 will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,
4 udabula eningizimu yoMkhandlu weNkume, kusiya ngaseZini njalo kuye eningizimu yeKhadeshi Bhaneya. Usuka lapho uzaqonda eHazari Adari njalo wedlulele e-Azimoni,
And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:
5 lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.
And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.
6 Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.
And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.
7 Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori
And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:
8 njalo usuka eNtabeni yaseHori uye eLebho Hamathi. Umngcele uzasuka lapho uqonde eZedadi,
And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:
9 ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.
And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.
10 Okomngcele wenu wempumalanga, sukelani eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu.
And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11 Umngcele uzakwehla usuka eShefamu usiya eRibhila engempumalanga kwe-Ayini njalo uqhubeke ulandela umthezuko empumalanga koLwandle lwaseKhinerethi.
Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:
12 Kusuka lapho umngcele uzakwehla ulandela umfula uJodani uze uyecina oLwandle lweTswayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu, ngemingcele yalo inxa zonke.’”
And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.
13 UMosi walaya abako-Israyeli wathi: “Yabelanani lelilizwe ngenkatho njengelifa lenu. UThixo usekhuphe isiqondiso sokuthi aliphiwe izizwana eziyisificamunwemunye kanye lesizwana esiyingxenye,
And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and 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, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:
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 been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.
16 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And the Lord said to Moses,
17 “La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.
18 Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:
And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.
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 chief, 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 chief, 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 chief, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
25 u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;
And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a chief, 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 chief, 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 chief, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
28 uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”
And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
29 La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.
These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
