UNumeri 13
UJehova wamyala uMose, wathi: “Thuma amadoda akho ukuba ahlole izwe laseKhanani;
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
2Thumani amadoda enu ukuze ahlole ilizwe laseKhanani engilinika abantwana bakoIsrayeli; kuzo zonke izizwe zoyise wothuma indoda ibe nye, kube yilowo nalowo abe yisikhulu phakathi kwabo.
3UMose wabathuma besuka ehlane lasePharanu ngesiyalezo sikaJehova; wonke lawo madoda ayezinhloko zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
4Lawa angamagama abo: esizweni sakwaRubeni: nguShamuwa indodana kaSakuri.
5Owesizwe sakwaSimeyoni: uShafati indodana kaHori.
6Owesizwe sakwaJuda, uKalebi indodana kaJefune.
7Owesizwe sakwa-Isakare: u-Igali indodana kaJosefa.
8Owesizwe sakwa-Efrayimi: uHoseya indodana kaNuni.
9Owesizwe sakwaBenjamini: uPhaliti indodana kaRafu.
10Owesizwe sakwaZebuloni: uGadiyeli indodana kaSodi.
11Owesizwe sakwaJosefa, owesizwe sakwaManase, uGadi indodana kaSusi.
12Owesizwe sakwaDani, u-Amiyeli indodana kaGemali.
13Owesizwe sakwa-Asheri: uSethuri indodana kaMikayeli.
14Owesizwe sakwaNafetali: uNagibi indodana kaWofi.
15Owesizwe sakwaGadi: uGewuweli indodana kaMagi.
16Lawa angamagama amadoda uMose awathuma ukuba ahlole izwe. UMose wabiza uHoseya, indodana kaNuni, ngokuthi uJoshuwa.
17UMose wabathuma ukuhlola izwe laseKhanani, wathi kubo: “Hambani ngale ndlela ngaseningizimu, nikhuphuke intaba;
18Bheka, izwe elikulo; nabantu abahlala khona, noma banamandla, noma bebuthakathaka, bayingcosana noma baningi;
19Liyini izwe abahlala kulo, noma lihle noma libi; nokuthi miphi imizi abahlala kuyo, noma basematendeni noma basezinqabeni;
20nokuthi izwe linjani, noma livundile noma lizolile, noma kukhona izinkuni kulo noma lingekho. Futhi yimani isibindi niveze izithelo zomhlaba. Manje kwakuyisikhathi sezithelo zomvini ezivuthiwe.
21Base benyuka, balihlola izwe kusukela ehlane laseSini kuze kube seRehobe, lapho abantu befika eHamati.
22Bakhuphukela eningizimu, bafika eHebroni; lapho kwakukhona o-Ahimani, noSheshayi, noTalimayi, amadodana ka-Anaki. (IHebroni lakhiwa iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngaphambi kweSowani laseGibithe.)
23Bafika emfudlaneni i-Eshikoli, bagawula khona isithende ngehlukuzo lezithelo zomvini, balithwala ngodondolo phakathi kwababili; baletha namapomegranati namakhiwane.
24Le ndawo yabizwa ngokuthi isifufula sase-Eshikoli ngenxa yesithunjana sezithelo zomvini abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababesinqumile lapho.
25Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane babuya ekuhloleni izwe.
26Ahamba afika kuMose naku-Aroni nakuyo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ehlane lasePharanu eKadeshi; wababikela kanye nebandla lonke, wabazisa izithelo zezwe.
27Bamtshela bathi: “Sifikile ezweni owasithuma kulo, futhi lichichima ubisi nezinyosi; lesi yisithelo sawo.
28Kodwa abantu abahlala kulelo zwe baba namandla, nemizi ibiyelwe ngezindonga, mikhulu kakhulu; futhi sabona nabantwana bakwa-Enaki lapho.
29Ama-Amaleki ahlala ezweni laseningizimu, amaHeti, namaJebusi, nama-Amori ahlala ezintabeni, namaKhanani ahlala ngaselwandle ngasogwini lweJordani.
30UKalebi wabathulisa abantu phambi kukaMose, wathi: “Masikhuphuke masinyane, silidle; ngokuba sinamandla okukunqoba.
31Kodwa amadoda akhuphuka naye athi: “Asinakukhuphukela kubantu; ngoba banamandla kunathi.
32Baletha umbiko omubi ngezwe abalihlola kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bathi: “Izwe esadabula kulo ukulihlola liyizwe elidla abakhileyo kulo; futhi bonke abantu esababona kulo bangabantu abade.
33Sabona lapho amaRefa, amadodana ka-Enaki, evela emaRefa; sasinjengezinkumbi emehlweni ethu, futhi sasinjalo nasemehlweni abo.
