Amanani 26

1 Kwathi emva kwenhlupheko iNkosi yakhuluma kuMozisi lakuEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi, isithi:

Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

2 Thathani inani lonke lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, ngezindlu zaboyise, bonke abangaphuma ukuya empini koIsrayeli.

Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel.

3 UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebekhuluma labo emagcekeni akoMowabi, eJordani eJeriko, besithi:

So Moses and Eleazar the priest gave them the order in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying,

4 Babale kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphuma elizweni leGibhithe.

Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt.

52 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And the Lord said to Moses,

53 Kulaba ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa libe yilifa njengenani lamabizo.

Let there be a division of the land among these, for their heritage, in relation to the number of names.

54 Kwabanengi uzakwengeza ilifa labo, lakwabalutshwana uzanciphisa ilifa labo; ngulowo lalowo uzanikwa ilifa lakhe njengababaliweyo bakhe.

To those families who are more in number, give a greater heritage; to those who are less in number, a smaller part: to every one let the heritage be given in relation to the number in his family.

55 Loba kunjalo ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa ngenkatho; ngokwamabizo ezizwe zaboyise bazalidla ilifa.

But let the distribution of the land be made by the decision of the Lord: by the names of the tribes of their fathers let their heritage be given them.

56 Ngokwenkatho ilifa lalo lizakwehlukaniswa phakathi kwabanengi labalutshwana.

As it is ordered by the decision of the Lord, let distribution be made between those who are more in number and those who are less.

60 UAroni wazalelwa uNadabi loAbihu, uEleyazare loIthamari.

61 Kodwa uNadabi loAbihu bafa lapho banikela umlilo ongejwayelekanga phambi kweNkosi.

62 Lababalwayo babo babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lantathu, bonke abesilisa kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu; ngoba babengabalelwanga phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba babenganikwanga ilifa phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel.

63 Laba ngababalwa nguMozisi loEleyazare umpristi, ababala abantwana bakoIsrayeli emagcekeni akoMowabi eJordani eJeriko.

All these were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

64 Kodwa phakathi kwalabo kwakungekho muntu wababalwayo nguMozisi loAroni umpristi, lapho bebala abantwana bakoIsrayeli enkangala yeSinayi;

But among all these was not one of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the waste land of Sinai.

65 ngoba iNkosi yayithe ngabo: Bazakufa lokufa enkangala. Njalo kakusalanga muntu kubo ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune, loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.

For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.
