Amanani 13
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Zithumele amadoda ukuthi ahlole ilizwe leKhanani engibapha lona abantwana bakoIsrayeli; uthume indoda eyodwa yaleso lalesosizwe saboyise, yonke eyinduna phakathi kwabo.
“Tũma arũme amwe mathiĩ magathigaane bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũrĩa ngũhe andũ a Isiraeli. Tũma mũtongoria ũmwe wao, kuuma o mũhĩrĩga o mũhĩrĩga wa maithe mao.”
3 UMozisi wawathuma-ke esuka enkangala yeParani, ngokomlayo weNkosi; wonke lawomadoda ayezinhloko zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Nake Musa agĩathĩkĩra watho wa Jehova, na agĩtũma andũ acio kuuma Werũ wa Parani. Andũ acio othe maarĩ atongoria a andũ a Isiraeli.
4 Lala ngamabizo awo; owesizwe sakoRubeni, uShamuwa indodana kaZakuri.

16 La ngamabizo amadoda uMozisi awathumayo ukuhlola ilizwe. UMozisi wasembiza uHoseya indodana kaNuni ngokuthi nguJoshuwa.
Macio nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa Musa aatũmire magathigaane bũrũri ũcio. Nake Musa akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩa Hoshea mũrũ wa Nuni akĩmũtua Joshua.
17 UMozisi wasewathuma ukuhlola ilizwe leKhanani, wathi kuwo: Yenyukani lapha liye eningizimu, lenyukele entabeni,
Rĩrĩa Musa aatũmire andũ acio magathigaane bũrũri wa Kaanani, aameerire atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũtuĩkanĩrie Negevu, mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
18 libone ilizwe ukuthi linjani, labantu abakhileyo kulo ukuthi balamandla kumbe babuthakathaka, balutshwana kumbe banengi yini,
Tuĩriai bũrũri ũcio ũrĩa ũtariĩ, muone kana andũ akuo marĩ na hinya kana matirĩ hinya, o na kana nĩ aingĩ kana nĩ anini.
19 lokuthi linjani ilizwe abahlala kulo, loba lihle loba libi, lokuthi injani imizi abahlala kiyo, loba izinkamba loba izinqaba,
Ningĩ mũmenye bũrũri ũcio matũũraga ũhaana atĩa? Nĩ mwega kana nĩ mũũru? Matũũraga matũũra ma mũthemba ũrĩkũ? Nĩ mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya kana ti mairigĩre?
20 lokuthi ilizwe linjani, loba livundile loba lilugwadule, lokuthi lilezihlahla loba hayi. Manini isibindi, lithathe okwesithelo selizwe. Lalesisikhathi kwakuyisikhathi sezithelo zokuqala zevini.
Tĩĩri wakuo ũtariĩ atĩa? Nĩ mũnoru kana nĩ mũhĩnju? Kũrĩ mĩtĩ kana gũtirĩ? Geriai mũno mũrehe maciaro mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio.” (Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mĩthabibũ yaambagĩrĩria kwĩrua.)
21 Basebesenyuka, balihlola ilizwe kusukela enkangala yeZini kuze kube seRehobi, ekungeneni eHamathi.
Tondũ ũcio makĩambata magĩthigaana bũrũri ũcio kuuma Werũ wa Zini nginya Rehobu, merekeire Lebo-Hamathu.
22 Benyuka-ke ngeningizimu bafika eHebroni, lapho kwakulaboAhimani, uSheshayi, loTalimayi, abantwana bakaAnaki. IHebroni lakhiwa-ke iminyaka eyisikhombisa kungakabi leZowani eGibhithe.
Mambatire matuĩkanĩirie Negevu na magĩkinya Hebironi kũrĩa Ahimani, na Sheshai, na Talimai, njiaro cia Anaki, maatũũraga. (Itũũra rĩa Hebironi rĩakĩtwo mĩaka mũgwanja mbere ya itũũra rĩa Zoani gwakwo bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri.)
23 Basebefika esihotsheni seEshikoli; baquma khona ugatsha olulehlukuzo elilodwa lezithelo zevini, baluthwalisana ngesigodo ngababili, lokwamapomegranati lokwemikhiwa.
Rĩrĩa maakinyire Kĩanda gĩa Eshikoli, magĩtema rũhonge rwarĩ na kĩmanjĩka kĩmwe gĩa thabibũ. Andũ eerĩ ao makĩrũkuuanĩra na mũtĩ, hamwe na makomamanga mamwe, na ngũyũ.
24 Leyondawo kwathiwa yisihotsha seEshikoli, ngenxa yehlukuzo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abaliqumayo lapho.
Naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Kĩanda gĩa Eshikoli nĩ ũndũ wa kĩmanjĩka kĩu gĩa thabibũ kĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli acio maatemire ho.
25 Basebebuya bevela ekuhloleni ilizwe ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
Matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mathira magĩcooka kuuma gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio.
26 Basebehamba bafika kuMozisi lakuAroni lakunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli enkangala yeParani, eKadeshi; basebebuyisela umbiko kubo lakunhlangano yonke, basebebatshengisa isithelo selizwe.
Nao magĩcooka kũrĩ Musa, na Harũni na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kũu Kadeshi o kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Parani. Kũu makĩhe Musa na Harũni, na kĩũngano gĩothe ũhoro ũcio na makĩmoonia maciaro ma bũrũri ũcio.
27 Basebembikela bathi: Safika elizweni owasithuma kulo; njalo ngeqiniso, ligeleza uchago loluju; lalesi yisithelo salo.
Makĩhe Musa ũhoro ũyũ: “Nĩtwatoonyire bũrũri ũrĩa watũtũmire, naguo nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ! Maya nĩmo maciaro maguo.
28 Kodwa-ke abantu abahlala elizweni balamandla, lemizi ibiyelwe ngemithangala, mikhulu kakhulu; njalo-ke sibone khona inzalo kaAnaki.
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa matũũraga kũu marĩ hinya, na matũũra mao nĩmairigĩre na thingo cia hinya, na nĩ manene mũno. O na ningĩ nĩtuonire njiaro cia Anaki kuo.
29 AmaAmaleki akhile elizweni leningizimu; lamaHethi lamaJebusi lamaAmori akhile entabeni; lamaKhanani akhile elwandle leceleni kweJordani.
Aamaleki matũũraga kũu Negevu; Ahiti, na Ajebusi, na Aamori matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma; Akaanani nao matũũraga ndwere-inĩ cia iria na hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
30 UKalebi wasethulisa abantu phambi kukaMozisi, wathi: Asenyukeni lokwenyuka, sidle ilifa lalo, ngoba silamandla okulinqoba.
Nake Kalebu agĩkiria andũ acio o hau mbere ya Musa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwambata tũthiĩ twĩnyiitĩre bũrũri ũcio, nĩ ũndũ no tũhote gwĩka ũguo.”
31 Kodwa amadoda ayenyuke laye athi: Kasilamandla okwenyukela kulabobantu, ngoba balamandla kulathi.
No andũ arĩa maambatĩte nake makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩtharĩkĩra andũ acio, marĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra.”
32 Basebeveza umbiko omubi ngelizwe ababelihlolile ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esidabule kulo ukulihlola yilizwe elidla abantu abahlala kulo; labantu bonke esababona phakathi kwalo bangamadoda amade kakhulu.
Nao makĩhunjia ũhoro mũũru kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ũkoniĩ bũrũri ũcio maathigaanĩte. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũcio tũrathigaanire nĩ bũrũri ũgũtambuura andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo ũkamaniina biũ. Andũ arĩa othe tuonire kuo nĩ anene mũno.
33 Lalapho sibone iziqhwaga, amadodana kaAnaki, avela eziqhwageni. Lemehlweni ethu sasinjengentethe, sasinjalo lemehlweni azo.
Nĩtuonire Anefili kuo (njiaro cia Anaki, a kĩruka kĩa Anefili). Tweyonaga tũhaana ta ndaahi, o nao moonaga tũhaana o ta cio.”
