UJoshuwa 13

1 UJoshuwa wayesemdala eleminyaka eminengi. INkosi yasisithi kuye: Usumdala, uleminyaka eminengi, kusasele ilizwe elikhulu kakhulu ukudla ilifa lalo.

And Joshua was old, advanced in age, and Jehovah said to him, Thou art old, advanced in age, and there remaineth yet very much land to take possession of.

2 Yileli ilizwe eliseleyo: Yonke imingcele yamaFilisti, leGeshuri yonke,

This is the land that yet remaineth: all the districts of the Philistines and all the Geshurites,

3 kusukela eShihori eliphambi kweGibhithe, kusiya emngceleni weEkhironi enyakatho, elibalelwa kumaKhanani; ababusi abahlanu bamaFilisti, abeGaza, labeAshidodi, abeAshikeloni, abeGathi, labeEkhironi, labeAvi,

from the Shihor, which [floweth] before Egypt, as far as the borders of Ekron northward, [and which] is counted to the Canaanite; five lordships of the Philistines: of Gazah, and of Ashdod, of Eshkalon, of Gath, and of Ekron; also the Avvites;

4 kusukela eningizimu, ilizwe lonke lamaKhanani, leMeyara elingelamaSidoni, kuze kufike eAfeki, kuze kube semngceleni wamaAmori,

in the south, the whole land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which [belongeth] to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

5 lelizwe lamaGebali, leLebhanoni lonke, kusiya empumalanga, kusukela eBhali-Gadi ngaphansi kwentaba yeHermoni, kusiya ekungeneni kweHamathi.

and the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sun-rising, from Baal-Gad at the foot of mount Hermon to the entrance into Hamath;

6 Bonke abakhileyo ezintabeni, kusukela eLebhanoni kusiya eMisirefothi-Mayimi, wonke amaSidoni, mina ngizabaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Kuphela ulabele uIsrayeli ngenkatho libe yilifa, njengoba ngikulayile.

all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians; I will dispossess them from before the children of Israel. Only, partition it by lot to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

7 Ngakho-ke yehlukanisa ilizwe leli libe yilifa ezizweni eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase.

And now divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and to half the tribe of Manasseh;

8 Kanye labo abakoRubeni labakoGadi bemukela ilifa labo, uMozisi owabanika lona, ngaphetsheya kweJordani ngempumalanga, njengalokho uMozisi inceku yeNkosi wabanika:

with him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them:

9 Kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni, lomuzi ophakathi kwesifula, lamagceke wonke eMedeba kuze kube seDiboni,

from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau of Medeba to Dibon,

10 lemizi yonke kaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owabusa eHeshiboni, kuze kube semngceleni wabantwana bakoAmoni,

and all the cities of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

11 leGileyadi lomngcele wamaGeshuri lamaMahakathi lentaba yonke yeHermoni leBashani lonke kuze kube seSaleka,

and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and the whole of Bashan to Salcah;

12 umbuso wonke kaOgi eBashani owabusa eAshitarothi leEdreyi. Nguye owasala kunsali yeziqhwaga. UMozisi wayebatshaye-ke wabaxotsha elifeni labo.

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, who remained of the residue of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them.

13 Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabawaxotshanga elifeni amaGeshuri lamaMahakathi; kodwa amaGeshuri lamaMahakathi ahlala phakathi kukaIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.

But the children of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites nor the Maachathites; but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites to this day.

14 Kuphela esizweni sakoLevi kanikanga ilifa; iminikelo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli eyenziwe ngomlilo iyilifa laso, njengokutsho kwayo kuso.

Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance: the offerings by fire of Jehovah the God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to them.

15 UMozisi wasenika isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngokwensendo zabo.

And Moses gave [a portion] to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

16 Lomngcele waso wasukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni, lomuzi ophakathi kwesifula, lamagceke wonke eMedeba,

And their territory was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau by Medeba;

17 iHeshiboni, lemizi yayo yonke esemagcekeni, iDiboni leBamothi-Bhali leBeti-Bhali-Meyoni,

Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth-Baal, and Beth-Baal-meon,

18 leJahaza leKedemothi leMefahathi,

And Jahzah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

19 leKiriyathayimi leSibima leZerethi-Shahari entabeni yesigodi,

and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the vale,

20 leBeti-Peyori leAshidodi-Pisiga leBeti-Jeshimothi,

and Beth-Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

21 lemizi yonke yamagceke, lombuso wonke kaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, owayebusa eHeshiboni, uMozisi amtshaya leziphathamandla zeMidiyani, oEvi loRekemi loZuri loHuri loReba, amakhosana kaSihoni, abakhileyo belizwe.

all the cities of the plateau, and the whole kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses smote, him and the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon dwelling in the land.

22 LoBalami indodana kaPeyori, ovumisayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambulala ngenkemba phakathi kwababuleweyo babo.

And Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, did the children of Israel kill with the sword among them that were slain by them.

23 Lomngcele wabantwana bakoRubeni wawuyiJordani lomngcele wayo. Lokhu kwakuyilifa labantwana bakoRubeni ngokwensendo zabo, imizi lemizana yayo.

And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and [its] border. This is the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their hamlets.

24 UMozisi wasenika isizwe sakoGadi, kubantwana bakoGadi ngokwensendo zabo.

And Moses gave [a portion] to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families.

25 Lomngcele wabo wawuyiJazeri layo yonke imizi yeGileyadi lengxenye yelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni, kusiya eAroweri, ephambi kweRaba,

And their territory was Jaazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer which is before Rabbah;

26 njalo kusukela eHeshiboni kusiya eRamathi-Mizipa leBetonimi, njalo kusukela eMahanayimi kuze kube semngceleni weDebhiri;

and from Heshbon to Ramath-Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

27 lesigodini, iBeti-Harama leBeti-Nimira leSukothi leZafoni, insali yombuso kaSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, iJordani lomngcele, kuze kube sekupheleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngaphetsheya kweJordani empumalanga.

and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Jordan and [its] border, as far as the edge of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

28 Leli yilifa labantwana bakoGadi ngokwensendo zabo, imizi lemizana yabo.

This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their hamlets.

29 UMozisi wasenika ingxenye yesizwe sakoManase ilifa; njalo yayingeyengxenye yesizwe sabantwana bakoManase ngokwensendo zabo.

And Moses gave [a portion] to half the tribe of Manasseh; and for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

30 Lomngcele wabo wasukela eMahanayimi, iBashani lonke, umbuso wonke kaOgi inkosi yeBashani, layo yonke imizana yeJayiri eseBashani, imizi engamatshumi ayisithupha.

their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.

31 Lengxenye yeGileyadi, leAshitarothi, leEdreyi, imizi yombuso kaOgi eBashani, yayingeyabantwana bakoMakiri indodana kaManase, ngitsho eyengxenye yabantwana bakoMakiri ngokwensendo zabo.

And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [belonged] to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, to the one half of the children of Machir according to their families.

32 La yiwo uMozisi awanika aba yilifa emagcekeni akoMowabi ngaphetsheya kweJordani eJeriko empumalanga.

This is that which Moses allotted for inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan of Jericho, eastward.

33 Kodwa esizweni sakoLevi uMozisi kanikanga ilifa; iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, iyilifa labo, njengokutsho kwayo kubo.

But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them.
