UNumeri 32

¹Abantwana bakwaRubeni nabantwana bakwaGadi babenezinkomo eziningi kakhulu; lapho bebona izwe laseJazeri nezwe lakwaGileyadi, indawo leyo yayiyindawo yezinkomo;

²Abantwana bakwaGadi nabantwana bakwaRubeni bafika bakhuluma kuMose naku-Eleyazare umpristi nakubaholi benhlangano bathi:

³i-Ataroti, neDiboni, neJazeri, neNimra, neHeshiboni, ne-Elale, neSebam, neNebo, neBeyoni;

⁴Izwe iNkosi eyalinqoba phambi kwebandla lika-Israyeli liyizwe lezinkomo, nezinceku zakho zinemfuyo.

⁵Ngakho bathi: Uba sifumene umusa emehlweni akho, kaliphiwe inceku zakho lelilizwe libe yilifa, ungasiweli iJordani.

⁶Wayesethi uMose kubantwana bakwaGadi nakubantwana bakwaRubeni: “Abafowenu bayakuya empini, nihlale lapha na?”

⁷Nizidumaza ngani izinhliziyo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bawele ezweni uJehova abanike lona na?

⁸Yilokho oyihlo abakwenzayo lapho ngibathuma besuka eKadeshi-Barineya ukuba babone izwe.

⁹Ngokuba lapho bekhuphukela esigodini sase-Eshikoli, balibona izwe, badumaza izinhliziyo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bangangeni ezweni uJehova abanika lona.

¹⁰Intukuthelo kaJehova yavutha ngaso leso sikhathi, wafunga wathi:

¹¹Ngempela, amadoda akhuphuka eGibhithe, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu, ngeke alibone izwe engalifunga ku-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe; ngoba abangilandelanga ngokuphelele.

¹²Ngaphandle kukaKalebi, indodana kaJefune, umKhenezi, noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, ngokuba baphikelela eNkosini.

¹³Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wabazulazula ehlane iminyaka engamashumi amane, saze sabhubha sonke isizukulwane esasenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

¹⁴Bhekani, senivukile esikhundleni sawoyihlo, isixuku sabantu abayizoni, ukwandisa ulaka lweNkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

¹⁵Ngokuba uma nimfulathela, uyakubuye abashiye ehlane; futhi uzobhubhisa sonke lesi sizwe.

¹⁶Base besondela kuye, bathi: “Sizakwakhela izinkomo zethu izibaya lapha, nemizi yabantwana bethu.”

¹⁷Kepha thina siyakuphuma sihlomile phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli size sibafikise endaweni yabo; nabantwana bethu abancane bayohlala emizini enezivikelo eziqinile ngenxa yabakhileyo ezweni.

¹⁸Asiyikubuyela ezindlini zethu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baze badle ifa labo, kube yilowo nalowo.

¹⁹Ngoba ngeke senze amatulo phesheya kweJordani noma ngaphambili; ngoba ifa lethu lisempumalanga yeJordani.

²⁰UMose wathi kubo: “Uma nithanda ukwenza lokho, uma niphuma nihlomile phambi kukaJehova ukulwa impi,

²¹Niyakuwela iJordani nonke nihlomile phambi kukaJehova, ize ixoshe izitha zayo phambi kwayo;

²²Izwe liyakunqotshwa phambi kobuso bukaJehova; leli zwe liyakuba yifa lenu phambi kukaJehova.

²³Kepha uma ningakwenzi lokhu, bhekani, nonile kuJehova; futhi uqiniseke ukuthi isono sakho siyakuthola.

²⁴Zakheleni imizi yabantwana benu nezibaya zezimvu zenu; wenze okuphuma emlonyeni wakho.

²⁵Abantwana bakwaGadi nabantwana bakwaRubeni bakhuluma kuMose, bathi: “Izinceku zakho ziyakwenza njengokuyala kwenkosi yami.”

²⁶Abantwana bethu, labesifazana bethu, lemihlambi yethu lemfuyo yethu yonke kuzakuba lapho emadolobheni akoGileyadi.

²⁷Kodwa izinceku zakho zizawela, bonke abahlomele impi, phambi kweNkosi ukuyakulwa, njengokutsho kwenkosi yami.

²⁸UMose wayala ngabo kumpristi u-Eleyazare noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni nezinhloko zezindlu zoyise zezizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²⁹UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Uba abantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoRubeni bechapha iJordani lani, bonke abahlomela ukulwa bazanqotshwa phambi kwe Nkosi lelizwe phambi kwenu; khona-ke kumelwe nibanike izwe lakwaGileyadi njengefa.

³⁰Kodwa uma bengaweli nani behlomile, bayakuba nefa phakathi kwenu ezweni laseKhanani.

³¹Abantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoRubeni basebephendula bathi: Njengoba iN kosi itshilo ezincekwini zakho, sizakwenza njalo.

³²Sizachapha sihlomile phambi kwe Nkosi, siye elizweni leKhanani, ukuze ifa lethu elisempumalanga kweJordani libe ngelethu.

³³UMose wabanika abantwana bakwaGadi, nabantwana bakwaRubeni, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase, indodana kaJosefa, umbuso kaSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori, nombuso ka-Ogi, inkosi yaseBashani, izwe nemizi yalo emikhawulweni, imizi yezwe nxazonke.

³⁴Abantwana bakwaGadi bakha iDiboni, ne-Atharoti, ne-Aroweri;

³⁵ne-Atroti, noShofani, noJazeri, noJogibeha,

³⁶neBeti-mra neBeti Harani, imizi ebiyelweyo nezibaya zezimvu.

³⁷Abantwana bakwaRubeni bakha iHeshiboni, ne-Elale, neKiriyatayimi;

³⁸neNebo, neBali Mehoni, lapho amagama aguqukayo, neSibima; bayiqamba amanye amagama imizi abayakhayo.

³⁹Abantwana bakwaMagiri indodana kaManase baya kwaGileyadi, balithatha, bawaxosha ama-Amori ayekulo.

⁴⁰UMose walinika uMagire indodana kaManase iGileyadi; wahlala kulo.

⁴¹UJayire indodana kaManase wahamba wathatha imizana yakhe, wayibiza ngokuthi iHavoti-Jayire.

⁴²UNoba wahamba wathatha iKenati nemizana yalo, walibiza ngokuthi iNoba ngegama lakhe.
