Numeri
13 UJehova wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 2 “Thumela amadoda bona ayokuhlola inarha yeKanana, inarha engiyinikele ama-Israyeli. Kufuze ukhethe ikosana+ yinye kwenye nenye ikoro.”+
3 Nje-ke uMosi wawathuma asuka emmangweni weParana+ njengombana uJehova ayalile. Woke amadoda la bewaziinhloko zakwa-Israyeli. 4 La magamawo: ekorweni kaRubeni, bekunguTjhamuwa indodana kaZakuru; 5 ekorweni kaSimiyoni, nguTjhafathi indodana kaRhori; 6 ekorweni kaJuda, nguKalebi+ indodana kaJefune; 7 ekorweni ka-Isakari, nguYigali indodana kaJosefa; 8 ekorweni ka-Efrayimu, nguHotjheya+ indodana kaNuni; 9 ekorweni kaBhenjamini, nguPalithi indodana kaRafu; 10 ekorweni kaZebuloni, nguGadiyeli indodana kaSodi; 11 ekorweni kaJosefa+ okuyikoro kaManase,+ nguGadi indodana kaSusi; 12 ekorweni kaDani, ngu-Amiyeli indodana kaGemali; 13 ekorweni ka-Atjheri, nguSeturi indodana kaMikhayeli; 14 ekorweni kaNafitali, nguNarhibi indodana kaVofsi; 15 ekorweni kaGadi, nguGewuyeli indodana kaMaki. 16 La magama wamadoda uMosi awathuma bona ayokuhlola inarha. UMosi wanikela uHotjheya indodana kaNuni igama elithi Jotjhuwa.*+
17 UMosi nakawathumako bona ayokuhlola inarha yeKanana, wathi kiwo: “Iyani enarheni yeNegebhi nikhuphukele esifundeni seentaba.+ 18 Kufuze niqale ukuthi iyinarha enjani,+ niqale abantu bakhona nibone ukuthi banamandla namkha babuthakathaka, bambalwa namkha banengi, 19 niqale ukuthi inarha yakhona yihle namkha yimbi nokuthi amadorobho wakhona avikelekile namkha awanamithangala na. 20 Niqale ukuthi inarha leyo iyathela namkha ayitheli na,+ inemithi namkha ayinayo na. Kufuze nibe nesibindi,+ nithathe ezinye iinthelo zenarheni leyo.” Lesi bekusikhathi sokuvunwa kwamadiribe wokuthoma.+
21 Akhamba ayokuhlola inarha kusukela emmangweni weTsini+ ukuyokufika eRerhobu+ eduze neLebo-Rhamathi.*+ 22 Kwathi nawakhuphukela eNegebhi afika eRhebroni+ lapha bekuhlala khona iinzukulwana zaka-Anakhi,+ u-Arhimani, uTjhetjhayi, noTalimayi.+ IRhebroni yakhiwa eminyakeni elikhomba ngaphambi kokwakhiwa kweTsowani eGibhide. 23 Kwathi nawafika emRhobeni we-Etjhikolo,+ aqunta ipande enamadiribe, amadoda amabili ayithwala ngesigodo kunye namarharinada namafeyi.+ 24 Indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi mRhoba we-Etjhikolo*+ ngombana ama-Israyeli aqunta ipande enamadiribe kiyo.
25 Ngemva kwamalanga ama-40,+ abuya ekuhloleni inarha. 26 Nje-ke abuyela kuMosi, ku-Aroni nayo yoke ihlangano yakwa-Israyeli emmangweni weParana, eKhadetjhi.+ Abuyisa umbiko kiyo yoke ihlangano ayitjengisa iinthelo zenarheni. 27 Abikela uMosi athi: “Siyile enarheni othe siyoyihlola, yinarha egeleza ibisi neliju,+ nanzi neenthelo zakhona.+ 28 Kodwana abantu abahlala khona banamandla namadorobhabo avikelekileko makhulu. Sibone neenzukulwana zaka-Anakhi lapho.+ 29 Ama-Amalekhi+ ahlala enarheni yeNegebhi,+ amaRhiti, amaJebusi,+ nama-Amori+ ahlala esifundeni seentaba begodu amaKanana+ ahlala hlanu kwelwandle+ magega neJordani.”
30 UKalebi walinga ukwenza abantu bona behlise umoya njengombana bajame phambi kwakaMosi wathi: “Asikhambeni khona nje, inarha leya izokuba ngeyethu ngombana sizokuthumba.”+ 31 Kodwana amadoda ebewakhambe naye athi: “Angekhe sikghone ukukhuphuka siyokulwa nabantwaba, ngombana banamandla kunathi.”+ 32 Aragela phambili atjela ama-Israyeli umbiko omumbi+ ngenarha egade ayoyihlola, athi: “Inarha ebesiyoyihlola, yinarha eyingozi ngekhe sisinde, nabantu bakhona baziintsitsirimba.+ 33 Enarheni leyo sibone amaNefili, amadodana ka-Anakhi,+ aziinzukulwana zamaNefili, nasizimadanisa nawo, sizibone sinjengeentethe, nawo asiqala njalo.”
