Amanani 34

1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

And the LORD 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 with the coasts 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 coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast 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 from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:

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

And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

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

And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: 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 point out for you mount Hor:

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

From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

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

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

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

And ye shall point 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 coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, 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 Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts 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 the LORD 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 the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance; ] and half the 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 on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

And the LORD 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 which shall divide the land unto you: 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 by inheritance.

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

And the names of the men [are] these: 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 the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.

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

The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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