Amanani 34
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho lingena elizweni leKhanani, leli lizakuba yilizwe elizawela kini libe yilifa, ilizwe leKhanani, ngokwemingcele yalo.
“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
3 Legumbi lenu leningizimu lizakuba kusukela enkangala yeZini, enhlangothini zeEdoma. Njalo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu weningizimu kusukela ekucineni kolwandle lwetshwayi empumalanga.
Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
4 Umngcele wenu uzajika uvela eningizimu usiya emqansweni weAkirabimi, wedlulele eZini; lokuphuma kwawo kuzavela eningizimu kuye eKadeshi-Bhaneya; uzaphuma uye eHazari-Adari, wedlulele eAzimoni.
cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
5 Lomngcele uzajika uvela eAzimoni uye esifuleni seGibhithe; lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba selwandle.
where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
6 Mayelana lomngcele wentshonalanga, ulwandle olukhulu luzakuba ngumngcele wenu; lona luzakuba ngumngcele wenu ngentshonalanga.
Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
7 Lalokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho: Kusukela elwandle olukhulu lizazidwebela intaba yeHori;
Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
8 kusukela entabeni yeHori lizadweba umngcele oya ekungeneni kweHamathi, lokuphuma komngcele kuye eZedadi.
and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
9 Lomngcele uzaphuma uye eZifroni, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba eHazari-Enani. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho.
continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 Njalo lizazidwebela umngcele wenu wempumalanga kusukela eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu;
And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11 lomngcele uzakwehla uvela eShefamu uye eRibila empumalanga kweAyini, lomngcele wehle ufike eceleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngempumalanga.
then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12 Umngcele uzakwehlela-ke eJordani, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba solwandle lwetshwayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu ngemingcele yalo inhlangothi zonke.
Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
13 UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Leli yilizwe elizakudla ilifa lalo ngenkatho, iNkosi elaye ngalo ukulinika izizwe eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe.
So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 Ngoba isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngezindlu zaboyise, lesizwe sabantwana bakoGadi ngezindlu zaboyise zemukele, lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase yemukele ilifa layo.
For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
15 Izizwe ezimbili lengxenye yesizwe zemukele ilifa lazo nganeno kweJordani, eJeriko, empumalanga, lapho okuphuma khona ilanga.
These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
17 La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe libe yilifa: UEleyazare umpristi loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 Njalo lizathatha isiphathamandla kuleso lalesosizwe ukwehlukanisa ilizwe libe yilifa.
Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
19 Lala ngamabizo amadoda: Esizweni sakoJuda, uKalebi indodana kaJefune.
These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoSimeyoni, uShemuweli indodana kaAmihudi.
Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Esizweni sakoBhenjamini, uElidadi indodana kaKisiloni.
Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoDani, isiphathamandla uBuki indodana kaJogili.
Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 Ebantwaneni bakoJosefa, esizweni sabantwana bakoManase, isiphathamandla uHaniyeli indodana kaEfodi.
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoEfrayimi, isiphathamandla uKemuweli indodana kaShifitani.
Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoZebuluni, isiphathamandla uElizafani indodana kaParinaki.
Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoIsakari, isiphathamandla uPalitiyeli indodana kaAzani.
Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoAsheri, isiphathamandla uAhiyudi indodana kaShelomi.
Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
28 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoNafithali, isiphathamandla uPedaheli indodana kaAmihudi.
and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 Yibo labo iNkosi eyabalaya ukwehlukanisela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilifa elizweni leKhanani.
These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
