Numbers 34
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.
Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho lingena elizweni leKhanani, leli lizakuba yilizwe elizawela kini libe yilifa, ilizwe leKhanani, ngokwemingcele yalo.
3 Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, —so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea, eastward:
Legumbi lenu leningizimu lizakuba kusukela enkangala yeZini, enhlangothini zeEdoma. Njalo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu weningizimu kusukela ekucineni kolwandle lwetshwayi empumalanga.
4 and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;
Umngcele wenu uzajika uvela eningizimu usiya emqansweni weAkirabimi, wedlulele eZini; lokuphuma kwawo kuzavela eningizimu kuye eKadeshi-Bhaneya; uzaphuma uye eHazari-Adari, wedlulele eAzimoni.
5 then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.
Lomngcele uzajika uvela eAzimoni uye esifuleni seGibhithe; lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba selwandle.
6 And, for a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.
Mayelana lomngcele wentshonalanga, ulwandle olukhulu luzakuba ngumngcele wenu; lona luzakuba ngumngcele wenu ngentshonalanga.
7 And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:
Lalokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho: Kusukela elwandle olukhulu lizazidwebela intaba yeHori;
8 From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:
kusukela entabeni yeHori lizadweba umngcele oya ekungeneni kweHamathi, lokuphuma komngcele kuye eZedadi.
9 then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.
Lomngcele uzaphuma uye eZifroni, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba eHazari-Enani. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho.
10 Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, —from Hazar-enan towards Shepham;
Njalo lizazidwebela umngcele wenu wempumalanga kusukela eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu;
11 and the boundary shall go down from Shepham towards Riblah, on the east of Ain—then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward:
lomngcele uzakwehla uvela eShefamu uye eRibila empumalanga kweAyini, lomngcele wehle ufike eceleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngempumalanga.
12 then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about.
Umngcele uzakwehlela-ke eJordani, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba solwandle lwetshwayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu ngemingcele yalo inhlangothi zonke.
13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, —This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.
UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Leli yilizwe elizakudla ilifa lalo ngenkatho, iNkosi elaye ngalo ukulinika izizwe eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe.
14 For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:
Ngoba isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngezindlu zaboyise, lesizwe sabantwana bakoGadi ngezindlu zaboyise zemukele, lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase yemukele ilifa layo.
15 the two tribes, and the half tribe, have received their inheritance—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.
Izizwe ezimbili lengxenye yesizwe zemukele ilifa lazo nganeno kweJordani, eJeriko, empumalanga, lapho okuphuma khona ilanga.
16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
17 These, are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.
La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe libe yilifa: UEleyazare umpristi loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
18 Also, one prince from each tribe, shall ye take to receive the land, as an inheritance.
Njalo lizathatha isiphathamandla kuleso lalesosizwe ukwehlukanisa ilizwe libe yilifa.
19 These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
Lala ngamabizo amadoda: Esizweni sakoJuda, uKalebi indodana kaJefune.
20 And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoSimeyoni, uShemuweli indodana kaAmihudi.
21 For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
Esizweni sakoBhenjamini, uElidadi indodana kaKisiloni.
22 And, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki, son of Jogli:
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoDani, isiphathamandla uBuki indodana kaJogili.
23 For the sons of Joseph, For the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a prince, —Hanniel son of Ephod;
Ebantwaneni bakoJosefa, esizweni sabantwana bakoManase, isiphathamandla uHaniyeli indodana kaEfodi.
24 And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoEfrayimi, isiphathamandla uKemuweli indodana kaShifitani.
25 And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoZebuluni, isiphathamandla uElizafani indodana kaParinaki.
26 And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoIsakari, isiphathamandla uPalitiyeli indodana kaAzani.
27 And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoAsheri, isiphathamandla uAhiyudi indodana kaShelomi.
28 And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —Pedahel, son of Ammihud.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoNafithali, isiphathamandla uPedaheli indodana kaAmihudi.
29 These, are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.
Yibo labo iNkosi eyabalaya ukwehlukanisela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilifa elizweni leKhanani.
