Oonyana bakaRubhen noonyana bakaGadi baye benemfuyo eninzi, inkulu kunene. Balibona ilizwe laseYazere nelizwe laseGiliyadi, nantso loo ndawo iyindawo yemfuyo.
2 Beza oonyana bakaGadi noonyana bakaRubhen, bathetha kuMoses nakuElazare umbingeleli, nakwizikhulu zebandla, bathi,
3 IAtaroti, neDibhon, neYazare, neNimra, neHeshbhon, ne-Elale, neSebham, neNebho, neBhehon,
4 ilizwe awalibethayo uYehova phambi kwebandla lakwaSirayeli, lilizwe lemfuyo; ke abakhonzi bakho banemfuyo.
5 Bathi, Ukuba usibabale, abakhonzi bakho mabanikwe elo zwe, ukuba libe lelabo; ungasiwezi iYordan.
6 Wathi uMoses koonyana bakaGadi noonyana bakaRubhen, Baye emfazweni abazalwana benu, nihlale apha na nina?
7 Yini na ukuba nizityhafise iintliziyo zoonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bangaweleli ezweni abanika lona uYehova?
8 Benjenjalo ooyihlo ekubasuseni kwam eKadeshe-bharneha, ukuba balikhangele ilizwe.
9 Benyuka bada baya esihlanjeni sakwaEshkoli, balibona ilizwe, bazityhafisa iintliziyo zoonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bangayi ezweni abanikayo uYehova.
10 Wavutha umsindo kaYehova ngaloo mhla, wafunga, wathi,
11 Ndobona ukuba okha awubone amadoda anyukayo eYiputa, athabathela kominyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe enyusa, umhlaba endawufungela uAbraham noIsake noYakobi, kuba engakuzalisanga ukundilandela;
12 ingenguKalebhi unyana kaYefune, umKenazi, noYoshuwa, unyana kaNun; ngokuba bekuzalisile ukumlandela uYehova bona.
13 Wavutha umsindo kaYehova kumaSirayeli, wawabhadulisa entlango iminyaka emashumi mane, sada sagqitywa sonke isizukulwana, esaye senze ububi emehlweni kaYehova.
14 Nanku nisuke nema esikhundleni sooyihlo, nikukwanda kwamadoda awonayo, ukongeza ngakumbi ekuvutheni komsindo kaYehova kwaSirayeli.
15 Xa nithe nabuya ekumlandeleni, wophinda kanjalo abasalise entlango nibonakalise ke aba bantu bonke.
16 Basondela kuye bathi, Izibaya zempahla emfutshane siya kuzibiyela imfuyo yethu apha, imizi siyakhele usapho lwethu.
17 Ke thina siya kukhawuleza sixhobe, sihambe phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, side sibaseendaweni yabo; usapho lwethu luhlale emizini enqatyisiweyo, ngenxa yabemi balo ilizwe.
18 Asiyi kubuyela ezindlwini zethu, bade oonyana bakaSirayeli balizuze ilifa, elowo ilifa lakhe.
19 Kuba asiyi kudla lifa nabo phesheya kweYordan nangaphaya, xa ilifa lethu silizuze nganeno kweYordan ngasempumalanga.
20 Wathi uMoses kubo, Ukuba nithe nalenza elo lizwi, ukuba nithe naxhobela imfazwe phambi koYehova,
21 bayiwela iYordan bonke abaxhobileyo kuni, behamba phambi koYehova, bada bazigqogqa iintshaba zabo phambi kwabo,
22 leyiswa ilizwe phambi koYehova, nabuya emveni koko: noba msulwa ke kuYehova nakuSirayeli, eli lizwe libe lelenu phambi koYehova.
23 Ke ukuba anithanga nenjenjalo, yabonani, noba nonile kuYehova, nazi ukuba isono senu siya kunifumana.
24 Zakheleni imizi iintsapho zenu, nezibaya zempahla yenu emfutshane, niyenze le nto iphumileyo emlonyeni wenu.
25 Bathetha oonyana bakaGadi noonyana bakaRubhen, bathi, Abakhonzi bakho baya kwenza njengoko inkosi yethu iwise umthetho.
26 Abantwana bethu, nabafazi bethu, nemfuyo yethu, namaqegu ethu onke, oba khona emizini yaseGiliyadi.
27 Ke abakhonzi bakho baya kuwela, bonke abomkhosi bexhobele imfazwe phambi koYehova, njengoko inkosi yethu itshoyo.
28 UMoses wamwisela umthetho ngabo uElazare umbingeleli, noYoshuwa unyana kaNun, neentloko zezindlu zooyise zezizwe zoonyana bakaSirayeli.
29 Wathi uMoses kubo, Ukuba oonyana bakaGadi noonyana bakaRubhen bathe bawela nani eYordan, bonke bexhobele imfazwe phambi koYehova, laza leyiswa ilizwe phambi kwenu, nobanika ilizwe laseGiliyadi, ukuba libe lelabo.
30 Ke ukuba abathanga bawele bexhobile nani, boba nelifa phakathi kwenu ezweni lakwaKanan.
31 Baphendula oonyana bakaGadi noonyana bakaRubhen, bathi, Oko akuthethileyo uYehova kubakhonzi bakho, baya kukwenza.
32 Thina siya kuwela sixhobile phambi koYehova, siye ezweni lakwaKanan, ukuze ibe yeyethu inzuzo yelifa lethu nganeno kweYordan.
