1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho lingena elizweni leKhanani, leli lizakuba yilizwe elizawela kini libe yilifa, ilizwe leKhanani, ngokwemingcele yalo.
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )
3 Legumbi lenu leningizimu lizakuba kusukela enkangala yeZini, enhlangothini zeEdoma. Njalo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu weningizimu kusukela ekucineni kolwandle lwetshwayi empumalanga.
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4 Umngcele wenu uzajika uvela eningizimu usiya emqansweni weAkirabimi, wedlulele eZini; lokuphuma kwawo kuzavela eningizimu kuye eKadeshi-Bhaneya; uzaphuma uye eHazari-Adari, wedlulele eAzimoni.
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 Lomngcele uzajika uvela eAzimoni uye esifuleni seGibhithe; lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba selwandle.
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 Mayelana lomngcele wentshonalanga, ulwandle olukhulu luzakuba ngumngcele wenu; lona luzakuba ngumngcele wenu ngentshonalanga.
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7 Lalokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho: Kusukela elwandle olukhulu lizazidwebela intaba yeHori;
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 kusukela entabeni yeHori lizadweba umngcele oya ekungeneni kweHamathi, lokuphuma komngcele kuye eZedadi.
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 Lomngcele uzaphuma uye eZifroni, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba eHazari-Enani. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho.
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10 Njalo lizazidwebela umngcele wenu wempumalanga kusukela eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu;
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 lomngcele uzakwehla uvela eShefamu uye eRibila empumalanga kweAyini, lomngcele wehle ufike eceleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngempumalanga.
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12 Umngcele uzakwehlela-ke eJordani, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba solwandle lwetshwayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu ngemingcele yalo inhlangothi zonke.
And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Leli yilizwe elizakudla ilifa lalo ngenkatho, iNkosi elaye ngalo ukulinika izizwe eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which YHWH commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 Ngoba isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngezindlu zaboyise, lesizwe sabantwana bakoGadi ngezindlu zaboyise zemukele, lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase yemukele ilifa layo.
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15 Izizwe ezimbili lengxenye yesizwe zemukele ilifa lazo nganeno kweJordani, eJeriko, empumalanga, lapho okuphuma khona ilanga.
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
17 La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe libe yilifa: UEleyazare umpristi loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 Njalo lizathatha isiphathamandla kuleso lalesosizwe ukwehlukanisa ilizwe libe yilifa.
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 Lala ngamabizo amadoda: Esizweni sakoJuda, uKalebi indodana kaJefune.
And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoSimeyoni, uShemuweli indodana kaAmihudi.
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Esizweni sakoBhenjamini, uElidadi indodana kaKisiloni.

22 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoDani, isiphathamandla uBuki indodana kaJogili.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 Ebantwaneni bakoJosefa, esizweni sabantwana bakoManase, isiphathamandla uHaniyeli indodana kaEfodi.
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoEfrayimi, isiphathamandla uKemuweli indodana kaShifitani.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoZebuluni, isiphathamandla uElizafani indodana kaParinaki.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoIsakari, isiphathamandla uPalitiyeli indodana kaAzani.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoAsheri, isiphathamandla uAhiyudi indodana kaShelomi.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 Lesizweni sabantwana bakoNafithali, isiphathamandla uPedaheli indodana kaAmihudi.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 Yibo labo iNkosi eyabalaya ukwehlukanisela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilifa elizweni leKhanani.
These are they whom YHWH commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
