UMose ulanda ngokwenzekileyo ekuhambeni kwabakwa-Israyeli ehlane

1Lawa angamazwi uMose awakhuluma kubo bonke abakwa-Israyeli ngaphesheya kweJordani ehlane e-Araba, malungana neSufi, phakathi kwePharanu, neThofeli, neLabani, neHaseroti, neDi Zahabi, 2kuyizinsuku eziyishumi nanye ukusuka eHorebe ngendlela yasentabeni yaseSeyiri ukuya eKadeshi Barineya.

3Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amane ngenyanga yeshumi nanye ngolokuqala lwenyanga uMose wakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengakho konke uJehova amyale ngakho ukuba akukhulume kubo, 4esenqobile uSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owahlala eHeshiboni, no-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani, owahlala e-Ashitaroti ngase-Edireyi.

5Ngaphesheya kweJordani ezweni lakwaMowabi uMose waqala ukuchasisela lo mthetho ngokuthi:

6“UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wakhuluma kithi eHorebe, wathi: ‘Sekuyisikhathi eside nihlale kule ntaba; 7phendukani nihambe, niye entabeni yama-Amori nasezindaweni zonke eziseduze nakhona e-Araba, ezintabeni, nangenzansi, naseningizimu, nangasogwini lolwandle, ezweni lamaKhanani, naseLebanoni, kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe. 8Bhekani, ngilibekile izwe phambi kwenu; ngenani nilidle izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe ukulinika bona nenzalo yabo emva kwabo.’

9“Ngakhuluma kini ngaleso sikhathi, ngathi: ‘Anginakunithwala mina ngedwa; 10uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unandisile; bhekani, namuhla ningangezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi. 11UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo makathasisele kulokhu eniyikho kayinkulungwane, anibusise, njengalokho wakhuluma kini. 12Mina ngedwa ngingathwala kanjani izinhlupheko zenu, nemithwalo yenu, nokuxabana kwenu na? 13Nizithathele amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, aqondileyo, aziwayo ezizweni zenu, ngiwenze abe yizinhloko phezu kwenu.’

14“Nangiphendula nathi: ‘Okukhulumileyo kuhle kithi ukukwenza.’

15“Ngase ngithatha izinhloko zezizwe zenu, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo naziwayo, ngawenza aba yizinhloko phezu kwenu: izinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu, nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu, nezinduna zamashumi, neziphathimandla ezizweni zenu. 16Ngabayala abahluleli benu ngaleso sikhathi, ngathi: ‘Zwanini okuphakathi kwabafowenu, nahlulele ngokulungileyo phakathi komuntu nomfowabo, nomfokazi okuye. 17Maningakhethi abantu ekwahluleleni, nimuzwe omncane njengomkhulu, ningesabi ubuso bamuntu, ngokuba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu; indaba elukhuni kini niyilethe kimi, ngiyizwe.’ 18Nganiyala ngaleso sikhathi ngakho konke ebeniyakukwenza.

19“Sasuka eHorebe, sadabula lelo hlane elikhulu nelesabekayo enalibonayo ngasendleleni yasentabeni yama-Amori, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wasiyala, saze safika eKadeshi Barineya. 20Ngase ngithi kini: ‘Senifikile entabeni yama-Amori uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu asinika yona. 21Bhekani, uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ulibekile izwe phambi kwenu: khuphukani nilidle, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo akhuluma kini; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla.’

22“Nasondela kimi nina nonke, nathi: ‘Masithume amadoda phambi kwethu ukuba asihlolele izwe, asibuyisele izwi ngendlela esimelwe ukukhuphuka ngayo, nangemizi esiyakufika kuyo.’

23“Leyo nto yaba nhle emehlweni ami, ngathatha kini amadoda ayishumi nambili, kwaba yindoda inye kuleso naleso sizwe. 24Wona ayesephenduka, akhuphukela entabeni, afika esiGodini sase-Eshikoli, asihlola. 25Athatha ngezandla zawo ezithelweni zezwe, azehlisela kithi, asibuyisela izwi, athi: ‘Yizwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu asinika lona.’

26“Nokho anithandanga ukukhuphuka, kepha nahlubuka esiyalezweni sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; 27nakhonona ematendeni enu, nathi: ‘Ngokuba uJehova wasizonda, wasikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ukuba asinikele esandleni sama-Amori, sichithwe. 28Siyakukhuphukelaphi na? Abafowethu benzile izinhliziyo zethu ziphele amandla ngokusho ukuthi: “Abantu bakhulu, bade kunathi; imizi mikhulu, ibiyelwe kuze kube sezulwini; futhi sibonile amadodana ama-Anaki khona.” ’

29“Ngase ngithi kini: ‘Ningashaywa luvalo, ningabesabi. 30UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ohamba phambi kwenu uyakunilwela njengakho konke anenzela khona eGibithe emehlweni enu, 31nasehlane lapho ubone khona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuthwala njengendoda ithwala indodana yayo, endleleni yonke enahamba ngayo, naze nafika kule ndawo.’

32“Noma kunjalo, anikholwanga nokho nguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu 33owahamba phambi kwenu endleleni ukunifunela indawo ukuba nimise kuyo amatende enu, ngomlilo ebusuku ukunibonisa indlela ebeniyakuhamba ngayo, nangefu emini.

34“UJehova wezwa izwi lokukhuluma kwenu, wathukuthela, wafunga wathi: 35‘Impela akuyikubona noyedwa walaba bantu balesi sizukulwane esibi izwe elihle engafunga ukubanika lona oyihlo, 36ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune; yena uyakulibona; ngiyakumnika yena nabantwana bakhe izwe alinyatheleyo, ngokuba umlandele uJehova wakhe ngokupheleleyo.’

37“Futhi uJehova wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, wathi: ‘Nawe awuyikungena khona; 38uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni omi phambi kwakho uyakungena khona; mqinise wena, ngokuba uyakumenza u-Israyeli adle ifa lalo. 39Abancane benu enasho ukuthi bayakuba yimpango, nabantwana benu abangakwazi namuhla okuhle nokubi bayakungena khona, ngibanike lona, balidle. 40Kepha nina anophenduka, nihambe, niye ehlane ngendlela eya eLwandle Olubomvu.’

41“Nase niphendula, nithi kimi: ‘Sonile kuJehova; siyakukhuphuka silwe njengakho konke asiyala ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu. Nabhincisa, kwaba yilowo nalowo izikhali zakhe zokulwa; kwase kuba lula kini ukuba nikhuphukele entabeni.’

42“UJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Yisho kubo ukuthi: “Ningakhuphuki, ningalwi, ngokuba angikho phakathi kwenu, ukuze ningabulawa phambi kwezitha zenu.” ’

43“Ngakhuluma-ke kanjalo kini, analalela, kepha nahlubuka ezwini likaJehova, naziqhenya, nakhuphukela entabeni. 44Ama-Amori ayehlala kuleyo ntaba aphuma anihlasela, anixosha njengokwenza kwezinyosi, aninqoba eSeyiri, kwaze kwaba seHorma. 45Nabuye nakhala phambi kukaJehova, kepha uJehova akalalelanga izwi lenu, kanizwanga. 46Nase nihlala eKadeshi izinsuku eziningi njengezinsuku enazihlala khona.

UDuteronomi 2

Inkulumo kaMose isaqhubeka

1“Sase siphenduka sahamba, saya ehlane ngendlela eya eLwandle Olubomvu, njengalokho ebeshilo kimi uJehova. Sazungeza intaba yaseSeyiri izinsuku eziningi.

2“UJehova wakhuluma kimi, wathi: 3‘Sekuyisikhathi niyizungeza le ntaba; phendukani, niye ngasenyakatho. 4Yala abantu ngokuthi: “Niyakudabula umkhawulo wabafowenu, abantwana bakwa-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri; bayakunesaba, kepha maniqaphele nokho, 5ningalwi nabo, ngokuba angiyikuninika izwe labo, ngisho nendawo yamathe onyawo, lokhu ngimnikile u-Esawu intaba yaseSeyiri ibe yifa lakhe. 6Niyakuthenga kubo ukudla ngemali ukuba nidle, nithenge kubo futhi amanzi ngemali ukuba niphuze.” ’

7“Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukubusisile emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho; ukwazile ukuhamba kwakho kuleli hlane elikhulu; nakule minyaka engamashumi amane uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho waba nawe, awuswelanga lutho.

8“Sase sidlula sisuka kubafowethu, abantwana bakwa-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri, sashiya indlela yase-Araba, ne-Elati, ne-Esiyoni Geberi. Saphenduka sadlula ngendlela yasehlane lakwaMowabi.

9“UJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Ungakhathazi uMowabi, ungalwi nabo ekulweni, ngokuba angiyikukunika izwe lakhe libe yifa, lokhu ngibanikile abantwana bakwaLoti i-Ari libe yifa labo.’ ”

10Kwakuhlala khona kuqala ama-Emi, abantu abakhulu, abaningi, abade njengama-Anaki; 11laba bathiwa namaRefa njengama-Anaki, kepha abakwaMowabi bababiza ngokuthi ama-Emi. 12AmaHori nawo ayehlala eSeyiri kuqala, kepha abantwana bakwa-Esawu bawaxosha, bawachitha phambi kwabo, bakha esikhundleni sawo njengalokho u-Israyeli enza kulo izwe elaliyifa lakhe, aphiwe lona nguJehova.

13“ ‘Sukani kalokhu, niwele umfula iZeredi.’ Sase siwela-ke umfula iZeredi.

14“Izinsuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi Barineya saze sawela umfula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili, kwaze kwaphela isizukulwane samadoda empi phakathi kwekamu,* njengalokho uJehova afunga kuwo. 15Futhi isandla sikaJehova sasimelene nawo ukuwachitha phakathi kwekamu,* aze aphela.

16“Kwathi onke amadoda empi esephelile afa phakathi kwabantu, 17uJehova wakhuluma kimi, wathi: 18‘Wena uyakuwela i-Ari, umkhawulo wakwaMowabi; 19lapho ususondela malungana nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungabakhathazi, ungalwi nabo, ngokuba angiyikukunika izwe labantwana bakwa-Amoni libe yifa lenu, lokhu ngibanikile lona abantwana bakwaLoti libe yifa labo.’ ”

20Nalelo lithiwa izwe lamaRefa; amaRefa ahlala khona kuqala; kepha abakwa-Amoni bawabiza ngokuthi amaZamuzumi, 21abantu abakhulu, abaningi, abade njengama-Anaki; kepha uJehova wabachitha phambi kwabo; babaxosha, bakha esikhundleni sabo, 22njengalokho ebenzela abantwana bakwa-Esawu ababehlala eSeyiri, lapho ewachitha amaHori phambi kwabo, bawaxosha, bahlala esikhundleni sawo kuze kube namuhla; 23kanjalo nama-Avi ayehlala emizaneni kwaze kwaba seGaza, anqoba amaKafitori ayevela eKafitori, akha esikhundleni sawo.

24“ ‘Sukani nihambe, niwele umfula i-Arinoni; bhekani, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umAmori, inkosi yaseHeshiboni, nezwe lakhe: qala ukulidla, ulwe naye ekulweni. 25Namuhla ngiyakuqala ukubeka uvalo nokukwesaba phezu kwezizwe zonke eziphansi kwezulu, eziyakuzwa indaba yakho, zithuthumele, ziqhaqhazele ngenxa yakho.’

26“Ngase ngithuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni, zisuka ehlane laseKedemoti, zinamazwi okuthula, ngokuthi: 27‘Mangidabule izwe lakho; ngiyakuhamba ngomgwaqo, ngingajiki ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo. 28Uyakuthengisa kimi ukudla ngemali ukuba ngidle, ningiphe amanzi ngemali ukuba ngiphuze; mangidabule kuphela ngezinyawo, 29njengalokho bangenzela abantwana bakwa-Esawu ababehlala eSeyiri nabakwaMowabi ababehlala e-Ari, ngize ngiwele iJordani, ngingene ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu asinika lona.’ 30Kepha uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni akasivumelanga ukuba sidlule kuye, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wenza lukhuni umoya wakhe, wenza ukuba ibe nenkani inhliziyo yakhe, ukuze amnikele esandleni sakho njenganamuhla.

31“UJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Bheka, ngiqalile ukunikela uSihoni nezwe lakhe phambi kwakho: qala ukulidla ukuba udle ifa lezwe lakhe.’

32“USihoni waphuma wasihlasela, yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe, ukuzokulwa eJahasi. 33UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wamnikela phambi kwethu, samnqoba yena namadodana akhe nabantu bakhe bonke. 34Sathatha yonke imizi yakhe ngaleso sikhathi, sachitha saqeda yonke imizi enamadoda nabesifazane nezingane; asishiyanga muntu; 35izinkomo kuphela sazithathela zona zaba yimpango yethu kanye nempango yemizi esasiyithathile. 36Kusukela e-Aroweri elisosebeni lomfula i-Arinoni nasemzini osesigodini kuze kube kwaGileyadi akubangakho muzi owasahlula ngokuphakama; uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wayinikela yonke phambi kwethu; 37izwe labantwana bakwa-Amoni nokho awusondelanga kulo, uhlangothi lomfula iJaboki, nemizi esezintabeni, nakuphi lapho uNkulunkulu wasenqabela khona.
