< Amanani 10 >
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Zenzele impondo ezimbili zesiliva, uzenze zibe ngumsebenzi okhandiweyo; njalo zizakuba ngezakho ekubizeni inhlangano lekusukeni kwezinkamba.
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Uba bezivuthela inhlangano yonke izabuthana kuwe emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 Kodwa uba bevuthela olulodwa, iziphathamandla, inhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli zizabuthana kuwe.
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 Lapho lihlaba umkhosi, izinkamba ezimise ngempumalanga zizasuka.
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 Lalapho lihlaba umkhosi ngokwesibili, izinkamba ezimise ngeningizimu zizasuka. Bazahlaba umkhosi ukuze zisuke.
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 Kodwa ekubuthaniseni ibandla lizavuthela impondo, kodwa lingahlabi umkhosi.
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 Njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azavuthela izimpondo. Zizakuba kini yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 Njalo lapho liphuma impi elizweni lakini ukuyakulwa lesitha esilicindezelayo, lihlabe umkhosi ngezimpondo, njalo likhunjulwe phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lisindiswe ezitheni zenu.
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before YHWH your Elohim, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Langosuku lwentokozo yenu, lemikhosini yenu emisiweyo, lekuthwaseni kwenyanga zenu, lizavuthela izimpondo phezu kweminikelo yenu yokutshiswa laphezu kwemihlatshelo yeminikelo yenu yokuthula, ukuze ibe kini yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your Elohim: I am YHWH your Elohim.

And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which YHWH said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for YHWH hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 Wasesithi kuye: Kangiyikuhamba, kodwa-ke ngizakuya elizweni lakithi lezihlotsheni zami.
And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 Wasesithi: Ake ungasitshiyi, ngoba uyazi lapho esingamisa khona inkamba enkangala, uzakuba ngamehlo ethu.
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
32 Kuzakuthi-ke, uba uhamba lathi, yebo, kuzakwenzeka lokho okuhle okungakho iNkosi ezasenzela okuhle, sizakwenzela okuhle.
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness YHWH shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
33 Basuka-ke entabeni yeNkosi, uhambo lwensuku ezintathu; lomtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi wahamba phambi kwabo uhambo lwensuku ezintathu, ukuze ubadingele indawo yokuphumula.
And they departed from the mount of YHWH three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of YHWH went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 Leyezi leNkosi laliphezu kwabo emini, ekusukeni kwabo enkambeni.
And the cloud of YHWH was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
