Numeri 21
Inyoka yobhedu
1Ukumkani waseAradi, umKanan, owayehlala kwelasezantsi, weva ukuba amaSirayeli abeze ngeentlola. Waza walwa noonyana bakaSirayeli, wabathimba abanye kubo. 2uSirayeli wamfungela uYehova, esithi, Ukuba uthe wabanikela aba bantu esandleni sam, ndoyiqalekisa imizi yabo. 3Waliva uYehova ilizwi lamaSirayeli, wawanikela amaKanan amaKanan baqalekisa bona nemizi yabo; wathi igama laloo ndawo yiHorma. 4Banduluka eNtabeni yeHore, ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu, bajikeleza ilizwe lakwaEdom; wadandatheka kakhulu abantu ngaloo ndlela. 5Bathetha abantu kakubi ngoThixo nangoMoses, bathi, Nisikhuphe eYiputa, ukuze sifele entlango apha? ngokuba kungekho sonka namanzi; esi sonka sikhaphukhaphu yasicekisa umphefumlo wethu. 6uYehova wathumela iinyoka ezinobuhlungu ebantwini, zabaluma abantu; kwafa abantu abaninzi bakwaSirayeli. 7Beza abantu kuMoses, bathi, Sonile, ngokuba sithethe kakubi ngoYehova nangawe; thandazani kuYehova ukuba azisuse kuthi ezi nyoka. Wabathandazela ke uMoses abantu. 8Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Zenzele inyoka eshushu, uyixhome emthini; yaye lowo ulunyiweyo uya kuphila, ukuba uthe wakukhangela kuyo. 9uMoses wenza inyoka yobhedu, wayixhoma esibondeni, yaye xa inyoka leyo yayiluma umntu, wayephila xa ebona inyoka yobhedu. 10Banduluka oonyana bakaSirayeli, bamisa iintente eObhoti. 11Banduluka eObhoti, bamisa eYebharim, entlango ephambi kwelakwaMowabhi, ngasempuma. 12Ukusuka apho banduluka baya kumisa iinkampu kwintlambo yaseSarede. 13Anduluka khona, amisa phesheya kweArnon, entlango, ezweni lama-Amori; ngokuba iArnon ngumda wakwaMowabhi, phakathi kwamaMowabhi nama-Amori. 14Kungenxa yoko le nto kuthiwa encwadini yeemfazwe zikaYehova, Oko wakwenzayo eLwandle oluBomvu, nasemithonjeni yaseArnon; 15nasemingxunyeni yezihlambo, ezihla ziye endaweni yokuhlala yaseAri, esemdeni wakwaMowabhi. 16Besuka khona, baya eBhere; Lilo eli iqula, awathetha ngalo uYehova kuMoses, esithi, Hlanganisa abantu, ndibanike amanzi; 17Waza uSirayeli wavuma le ngoma: Tsiba, mthombo! cula ngayo: 18Bemba iqula izikhulu, zemba abathetheli babantu ngeentonga zabo, ngokomyalelo womthetheli-waka. Baphuma ke entlango, beza eMatana. 19Basuka eMatana baya eNahaliyeli; basuka eNahaliyeli baya eBhamoti. 20Bazishiya iiMoths, baya entilini ezweni lakwaMowabhi, endulini yePisga, ekhangelene neYesimon. 21AmaSirayeli athumela abathunywa kuSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, esithi, 22ndicande ezweni lakho; Asiyi kusela manzi equla, kodwa sohamba emendweni wokumkani, side sidlule emdeni wakho. 23Ke uSihon akabavumelanga oonyana bakaSirayeli ukuba bacande ezweni lakhe; yaye wafika eYahashe walwa noSirayeli. 24Bamoyisa oonyana bakaSirayeli ngohlangothi lwekrele, balihlutha ilizwe lakhe, bathabathela eArnon, besa eYabhoki, besa koonyana baka-Amon, ngokuba umda woonyana baka-Amon ubuliqele. 25Bazithimba zonke ezo zixeko oonyana bakaSirayeli, yaye oonyana bakaSirayeli bahlala kuzo zonke izixeko zama-Amori naseHeshbhon nakwiidolophu zonke ezilapho. 26Kuba iHeshbhon yayisisixeko sikaSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, owalwa nokumkani wokuqala wakwaMowabhi waza walithimba lonke ilizwe lakhe esandleni sakhe ukuya kufikelela eArnon. 27Ngako oko abathetha ngemizekeliso bathi, Yizani eHeshbhon, umzi kaSihon wakhiwe, walungiswa; 28Ngokuba bekukho umlilo eHeshbhon, nelangatye emzini wakwaSihon; Wayibhukuqa iAri yakwaMowabhi, nabathetheli beentaba zeArnon. 29Yeha, wena Mowabhi! Niphahlile nina bantu bakwaKamose! Oonyana bakhe ababesabile, neentombi zakhe wabanikela ekuthinjweni kuSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori. 30Sabadubula; iHeshbhon yatshabalala ukuya kufikelela eDibhon, yaye sabatshabalalisa ukuya kufikelela eNofa ukuya kufikelela eMedebha. 31Bahlala ke oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni lama-Amori. 32uMoses wathumela ukuba kuyithabathe iYazere, bayithimba imizi, bawagqogqa ama-Amori abekuyo. 33Bajika, benyuka ngendlela eya eBhashan; waphuma uOgi, ukumkani waseBhashan, eza kubakhawulela, yena nabantu bakhe bonke, ekulweni e-Edreyi. 34Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Musa ukumoyika; ngokuba ndimnikele esandleni sakho, yena nabantu bakhe bonke, nelizwe lakhe; uya kwenza kuye njengoko wenzayo kuSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, obemi eHeshbhon. 35Bamoyisa yena noonyana bakhe nabantu bakhe bonke, kwada akwabakho uphilayo, balithimba ilizwe lakhe.
