Chapter 13

1 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi, Thumela amadoda, aye kuhlola ilizwe lakwaKanan, endibanike lona oonyana bakaSirayeli.
2 Wothumela indoda ibe nye kwisizwe sooyise, iyileyo ibe yeyinkulu kuso.
3 Wawathuma ke uMoses, esentlango yaseParan, ngokomlomo kaYehova, onke loo madoda, eziintloko zoonyana bakaSirayeli.
4 Ngawo la amagama awo: kwisizwe sakwaRubhen, ibinguShamuwa, unyana kaZakure;
5 kwisizwe sakwaSimon, ibinguShafati, unyana kaHori;
6 kwisizwe sakwaYuda, ibinguKalebhi, unyana kaYefune;
7 kwisizwe sakwaIsakare, ibinguIgali, unyana kaYosefu;
8 kwisizwe sakwaEfrayim, ibinguHosheya, unyana kaNun;
9 kwisizwe sakwaBhenjamin, ibinguPalti, unyana kaRafu;
10 kwisizwe sakwaZebhulon, ibinguGadiyeli, unyana kaSodi;
11 kwisizwe sakwaYosefu, esisisizwe sakwaManase, ibinguGadi, unyana kaSusi;
12 kwisizwe sakwaDan, ibinguAmiyeli, unyana kaGemali;
13 kwisizwe sakwa-Ashere, ibinguSeture, unyana kaMikayeli;
14 kwisizwe sakwaNafetali, ibinguNabhi, unyana kaVofesi;
15 kwisizwe sakwaGadi, ibinguGehuweli, unyana kaMaki.
16 Ngawo lawo amagama amadoda awawathumayo uMoses, ukuba aye kuhlola ilizwe. UMoses wathi uHosheya, unyana kaNun, nguYoshuwa.
17 Wawathuma ke uMoses, ukuba aye kuhlola ilizwe lakwaKanan, wathi kuwo, Nyukani nina ngasezantsi, ngale ndlela;
18 nyukani niye entabeni, nilikhangele ilizwe ukuba linjani na, nabantu abemi kulo, ukubabomelele, bangamaphakuphaku, kusini na; bambalwa, baninzi, kusini na;
19 ukuba linjani na ilizwe abemi kulo, lihle, libi, kusini na; ukuba injani na imizi abemi kuyo, baseminqubeni, basezinqabeni, kusini na;
20 ukuba linjani na ilizwe elo, liyachuma, alichumi, kusini na; linemithi, alinayo, kusini na. Yomelelani, nize neziqhamo zelo zwe. Loo mihla yabe iyimihla yentlahlela yeediliya.
21 Enyuka ke, alihlola ilizwe, ethabathela entlango yaseTsin, esa eRehobhi, ekuyeni eHamati.
22 Enyuka ngezantsi, afike eHebron; babekhona ooAhiman, noSheshayi, noTalemayi, abenzalo ka-Anaki. Ke owaseHebron wawusewakhiwe iminyaka esixhenxe, ingekakhiwa iTsohan eYiputa.
23 Afika esihlanjeni sakwaEshekoli, anqumla khona isebe linesihloko seediliya sisinye, asithwala ngesibonda emabini; nakwiirharnate, nakumakhiwane enjenjalo.
24 Loo ndawo kwathiwa sisihlambo sakwaEshekoli, ngenxa yesihloko eso basinqumla khona oonyana bakaSirayeli.
25 Abuya ekulihloleni ilizwe ekupheleni kweentsuku ezimashumi mane.
26 Eza afika kuMoses, nakuAron, nakwibandla lonke loonyana bakaSirayeli, entlango yaseParan eKadeshe; azisa ilizwi kubo, nakwibandla lonke, ababonisa neziqhamo zelizwe elo.
27 Abaxelela athi, Safika kwelo zwe wasithuma kulo; inene, libaleka amasi nobusi; nazi neziqhamo zalo.
28 Kodwa banamandla abantu, abemi kwelo zwe; imizi inqatyisiwe, imikhulu kunene; kananjalo sibone abenzalo ka-Anaki khona.
29 Kumi ama-Amaleki ezweni lasezantsi; amaHeti namaYebhusi nama-Amori emi ezintabeni; amaKanan emingaselwandle nangecala laseYordan.
30 Wabazolisa uKalebhi abantu phambi koMoses, wathi, Masinyuke kwangoku, silihluthe; ngokuba siyakuleyisa kakade.
31 Ke amadoda abenyuke naye athi, Asinako ukunyuka siye kwabo bantu; ngokuba bomelele kunathi.
32 Ahambisa udaba olubi ngelo zwe abelihlolile koonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, Ilizwe esacanda kulo silihlola, lilizwe elibadlayo abemi balo; abantu bonke esababonayo kulo babengabafo abade.
33 Sazibona khona iingxilimbela, oonyana baka-Anaki basezingxilimbeleni; sesuka emehlweni ethu saba njengemicikwane, sanjalo nasemehlweni abo.
