Ibali lohambo ukuya kuma ngoloyiso lwama-Amori
1Sanduluka, sabheka entlango ngendlela eya eLwandle oluBomvu,• njengoko uYehova wathetha kum, sayijikeleza intaba yakwaSehire imihla emininzi. 2Wathetha uYehova kum, wathi, 3Kukade niyijikeleza le ntaba; 4bhekani ngasentla, ubawisele abantu umthetho uthi, Niya kugqitha nje emdeni wabazalwana benu, oonyana bakaEsawu, abemi kwaSehire. Baya kunoyika, ize nizilumkele ke kunene. 5Ize ningabambani nabo; kuba ezweni labo andiyi kuninika nendawo engangokunyathela kwentende yonyawo; ngokuba ndimnikile uEsawu intaba yakwaSehire ukuba ayime. 6Ukudla nokuthenga kubo ngemali, nidle; namanzi nowemba kubo ngemali, nisele. 7Kuba uYehova, uThixo wakho, ukusikelele emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho. Ùyakwazi ukuyihamba kwakho le ntlango inkulu; le minyaka imashumi mané uYehova uThixo wakho unawe, akuswelanga nto.
8Segqitha ke kubazalwana bethu, oonyana bakaEsawu, abemiyo kwaSehire, saphambuka endleleni yeArabha, e-Elati nase-Etsiyon-gebhere. Sajika ke, sadlula ngendlela yentlango yakwaMowabhi. 9Wathi uYehova kum, Uze ungawabandezeli amaMowabhi, uze ungabambani nawo ulwe nawo; kuba andiyi kukunika nto yelizwe lawo uyihluthe; kuba iAre ndiyiniké oonyana bakaLote, ukuba bayime. 10AmaEma ayemi kulo kudala, engabantu abakhulu, abaninzi, abade njengama-Anaki. 11Bekusithiwa ngamaRafa nawo, njengama-Anaki; ke amaMowabhi athi ngamaEma. 12NakwaSehire bekumi amaHori kudala; koko oonyana bakaEsawu bawagqogqa, bawatshabalalisa ebusweni babo, bahlala esikhundleni sawo, njengoko akwenzayo amaSirayeli ezweni lelifa lawo, abelinikwe nguYehova.
13Ndathi ke, Ndulukani ngoku, niwele umlanjana weZerede; sawuwela ke umlanjana weZerede. 14Imihla yokuhamba kwethu, sisuka eKadeshe-bharneha side siwele umlanjana weZerede, yaba yiminyaka emashumi mathathu anesibhozo; sada saphela sonke eso sizukulwana samadoda okulwa phakathi komkhosi, njengoko uYehova wawafungelayo. 15Saye kananjalo isandla sikaYehova siphezu kwawo, ukuba adutywadutywe phakathi komkhosi ade agqitywe.
16Kwathi, xenikweni onke amadoda okulwa ayegqityiwe, afa phakathi kwabantu, 17wathetha uYehova kum, esithi, 18Namhla uya kugqitha emdeni wakwaMowabhi oyiAre, 19usondele malungana noonyana baka-Amon. Uze ungababandezeli, uze ungabambani nabo; kuba ezweni loonyana baka-Amon andiyi kukunika ndawo yakuma; ngokuba ndilinike oonyana bakaLote ukuba limiwe ngabo.
20Bekusithiwa lilizwe lamaRafa nalo. Bekumi amaRafa khona kudala; ama-Amon athi ngamaZamzum; 21engabantu abakhulu, abaninzi, abade njengama-Anaki. UYehova wabatshabalalisa ebusweni babo; babagqogqa, bema esikhundleni sabo; 22njengoko wabenzelayo oonyana bakaEsawu abemiyo kwaSehire, wawatshabalalisa amaHori ebusweni babo, bawagqogqa, bema esikhundleni sawo unanamhla. 23Nama-Avi ayemi emizaneni, ada esa eGaza; amaKafetori, awaphumayo kwelamaKafetori, awatshabalalisa, ema esikhundleni sawo. 24Sukani ninduluke, niwele umlanjana oyiArnon. Yabona, ndimnikele esandleni sakho uSihon ukumkani waseHeshbhon, umAmori, nelizwe lakhe. Qala ukulihlutha, ubambane naye, ulwe naye. 25Ngale mini ndiya kuqala ukubeka ukunkwantya ngawe nokoyikeka kwakho phezu kwabantu abaphantsi kwezulu lonke, abaya kuluva udaba lwakho bagungqe, bazibhijabhije ngenxa enawe.
26Ndasusa abathunywa entlango yeKedemoti, baya kuSihon ukumkani waseHeshbhon, benamazwi oxolo okuthi, Ndiyeke ndicande ezweni lakho. 27Ndohamba ngendlela le yodwa; andiyi kuthi gu bucala ndiye ekunene nasekhohlo. 28Ukudla wòndithengela ngemali ndidle, namanzi wòndinika ngemali ndisele, ndihambe nje kodwa ngeenyawo; 29njengoko benza ngako kum oonyana bakaEsawu abemiyo kwaSehire, namaMowabhi abemiyo eAre; ndide ndiwele iYordan, ndiye ezweni asinikayo uYehova uThixo wethu. 30Àkavuma uSihon ukumkani weHeshbhon, ukuba sicande kuye, ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho wamqinisa isibindi, wayenza ingqoshomba intliziyo yakhe, ukuze amnikele esandleni sakho, njengokuba kunjalo namhla. 31Wathi uYehova kum, Yabona, ndiqalile ukumnikela kuwe uSihon nelizwe lakhe; qala ukulihlutha, ulidle ilifa ilizwe lakhe. 32Waphuma ke uSihon wasihlangabeza, yena nabantu bakhe bonke, eza kulwa eYatsa. 33UYehova uThixo wethu wamnikela kuthi; sambulala, yena noonyana bakhe, nabantu bakhe bonke. 34Sayithimba yonke imizi yakhe ngelo xesha, sawasingela phantsi amadoda emizi yonke, nabafazi, nabantwana; àsasalisa namanye usindayo. 35Ziinkomo zodwa esazithimbelayo, namaxhoba emizi esayithimbayo. 36Sathabathela eArohere, eseludinini lomlanjana oyiArnon, emzini osesihlanjeni, sada sesa eGiliyadi, akwabakho mzi usinqabelayo; konke wakunikela kuthi uYehova uThixo wethu. 37Lilizwe loonyana baka-Amon lodwa, eningasondelanga kulo: lonke icala lomlanjana oyiYabhoki, nemizi yasezintabeni, nento yonke awawisa umthetho ngayo uYehova uThixo wethu.
