Amanani 34
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:
Charge the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.
3 Icele leningizimu yenu lizahlanganisa isigaba esithile seNkangala yaseZini kulandela umngcele we-Edomi. Empumalanga, umngcele wenu weningizimu uzasukela ekucineni koLwandle lweTswayi,
And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side 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 go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.
5 lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.
And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.
6 Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.
And ye shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.
7 Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori
And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea ye shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.
8 njalo usuka eNtabeni yaseHori uye eLebho Hamathi. Umngcele uzasuka lapho uqonde eZedadi,
And ye shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.
9 ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.
And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.
10 Okomngcele wenu wempumalanga, sukelani eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu.
And ye shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.
11 Umngcele uzakwehla usuka eShefamu usiya eRibhila engempumalanga kwe-Ayini njalo uqhubeke ulandela umthezuko empumalanga koLwandle lwaseKhinerethi.
And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth 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 Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders 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 charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.
14 ngenxa yokuthi abezimuli zesizwana sikaRubheni, abesizwana sikaGadi kanye lengxenye yesizwana sikaManase sebethole isabelo sabo.
For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.
15 Izizwana lezi ezimbili kanye lalesi esiyingxenye sezithole isabelo sazo empumalanga komfula uJodani malungana leJerikho, ngokuya ngempumalanga.”
Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.
16 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
18 Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:
And ye shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.
19 La yiwo amabizo abo: uKhalebi indodana kaJefune, owesizwana sakoJuda;
And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
20 uShemuyeli indodana ka-Amihudi, owesizwana sakoSimiyoni;
Of the tribe of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Semiud.
21 u-Elidadi indodana kaKhisiloni, owesizwana sakoBhenjamini;
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Eldad the son of Chaslon.
22 uBhukhi indodana kaJogili, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sakoDani;
Of the tribe of Dan the prince [was] Bacchir the son of Egli.
23 uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi, ongumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaManase indodana kaJosefa;
Of the sons of Joseph of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, the prince was Aniel the son of Suphi.
24 uKhemuweli indodana kaShifuthani, engumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sako-Efrayimi indodana kaJosefa;
Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince was Camuel the son of Sabathan.
25 u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;
Of the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Elisaphan the son of Pharnac.
26 uPhalithiyeli indodana ka-Azani, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Isakhari,
Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Phaltiel the son of Oza.
27 u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Asheri;
Of the tribe of the children of Aser, the prince was Achior the son of Selemi.
28 uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”
Of the tribe of Nephthali, the prince was Phadael the son of Jamiud.
29 La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.
These did the Lord command to distribute [the inheritances] to the children of Israel in the land of Chanaan.
