UNumeri 21

¹Kwathi umKhanani, inkosi yase-Aradi, owayakhe eningizimu, wezwa ukuthi u-Israyeli ufikile ngendlela yezinhloli; walwa no-Israyeli, wathumba abanye babo.

²U-Israyeli wenza isithembiso kuJehova, wathi: “Uma ngempela unikela laba bantu esandleni sami, ngiyakushaya imizi yabo ngesiqalekiso.

³UJehova walilalela izwi lika-Israyeli, wawanikela amaKhanani; bawaqalekisa nemizi yawo, waqamba igama laleyo ndawo ngokuthi iHorma.

⁴Basuka eNtabeni yaseHori ngendlela eya eLwandle Olubomvu ukuze bazungeze izwe lakwa-Edomi; umphefumulo wabantu waphela amandla ngenxa yendlela.

⁵Abantu bakhuluma kabi ngoNkulunkulu nangoMose, bathi: “Nisikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba sifele ehlane na? ngokuba akukho sinkwa namanzi; umphefumulo wethu uyasenyanya lesi sinkwa esilula.

⁶INkosi yasithuma izinyoka ezinesihlungu phakathi kwabantu, zabaluma abantu; kwafa abantu abaningi bakwa-Israyeli.

⁷Ngalokho abantu beza kuMose, bathi: “Sonile, ngokuba sikhulume kabi ngoJehova nangawe; khuleka kuJehova ukuba asuse izinyoka kithi. UMose wabakhulekela abantu.

⁸UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Zenzele inyoka enesihlungu, uyibeke esigxotsheni; nolunywayo uyakuphila uma ebheka.

⁹UMose wenza inyoka yethusi, wayibeka esigxotsheni; uma inyoka iluma umuntu, waphila lapho ebona inyoka yethusi.

¹⁰Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka, bamisa e-Oboti.

¹¹Basuka e-Oboti, bamisa e-Iye-abarimi ehlane eliphambi kukaMowabi ngasempumalanga.

¹²Basuka lapho bamisa inkamba esigodini saseSaredi.

¹³Basuka lapho bamisa inkamba ngaphesheya kwe-Arinoni elisehlane eliphuma emkhawulweni wama-Amori; ngokuba i-Arinoni ingumkhawulo wakwaMowabi, phakathi kukaMowabi nama-Amori.

¹⁴Kungakho kuthiwa egwalweni lwezimpi zeNkosi: Lokho eyakwenza eLwandle lweSihlefu lemithonjeni yeArinoni,

¹⁵nangasemfudlaneni wezifula ezehlela e-Ari, zisemngceleni wakwaMowabi.

¹⁶Basuka lapho baya eBeri; lokhu kungumthombo uJehova akhuluma ngawo kuMose, wathi: “Butha abantu, ngibanike amanzi.

¹⁷U-Israyeli wayesehlabelela leli culo: “Gxuma, mthombo! cula ngakho:

¹⁸Izikhulu zawugebha umthombo, izikhulu zabantu zawugebha ngezinduku zawo ngomyalo womthetho. Basuka ehlane baya eMathana.

¹⁹Basuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, basuka eNahaliyeli baya eBamoti;

²⁰basuka eBamoti esigodini esisezweni lakwaMowabi, baze bafika esiqongweni sasePisiga elibheke eJesimoni.

²¹U-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa kuSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori, ukuthi:

²²Ngivumele ngidabule izwe lakho; asiyikuphuza amanzi omthombo, kepha siyakuhamba ngendlela yenkosi, size sidlule umkhawulo wakho.

²³USihoni akamvumelanga u-Israyeli ukuba adabule emkhawulweni wakhe, kepha uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, waphuma ukulwa no-Israyeli ehlane; wafika eJahazi walwa no-Israyeli.

²⁴U-Israyeli wamshaya ngosiko lwenkemba, walidla izwe lakhe kusukela e-Arinoni kuze kube seJabhoki kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, ngokuba umkhawulo wabantwana bakwa-Amoni wawunamandla.

²⁵U-Israyeli wayithatha yonke le mizi, wahlala u-Israyeli emizini yonke yama-Amori eHeshiboni nasemizini yayo yonke.

²⁶Ngokuba iHeshiboni lalingumuzi kaSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori, owalwa nenkosi yokuqala yakwaMowabi, walithatha lonke izwe lakhe esandleni sakhe kwaze kwaba se-Arinoni.

²⁷Ngakho abakhuluma ngezaga bathi: Wozani eHeshiboni, umuzi kaSihoni kawakhiwe, ulungiswe.

²⁸Ngokuba kuphume umlilo eHeshiboni, ilangabi emzini kaSihoni; laqeda i-Ari lakwaMowabi nezikhulu zasezindaweni zase-Arinoni.

²⁹Maye kuwe Mowabi! Nibhujiswa nina bantu baseKamos! Wanikela amadodana akhe ababalekile namadodakazi akhe ekuthunjweni kuSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori.

³⁰Sabadubula; IHeshiboni labhubha kwaze kwaba seDiboni, sabachitha kwaze kwaba seNofa eliya eMedeba.

³¹Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala ezweni lama-Amori.

³²UMose wathuma ukuhlola iJazeri, bathatha imizi yalo, bawaxosha ama-Amori abekhona.

³³Base bephenduka bakhuphuka ngendlela yaseBashani, u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma ukulwa nabo, yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe, ekulweni e-Edireyi.

³⁴UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Ungamesabi, ngokuba ngimnikele esandleni sakho yena nabantu bakhe bonke nezwe lakhe; uyakwenza kuye njengoba wenza kuSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori, owayehlala eHeshiboni.

³⁵Bamnqoba yena namadodana akhe nabo bonke abantu bakhe, kwaze kwangasala muntu, balidla izwe lakhe.
