Numeri 34
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Lamula Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Pamene mulowa mʼdziko la Kanaani, dziko lomwe lidzaperekedwa kwa inu ngati cholowa chanu, lidzakhale ndi malire awa:
“Give this command to the Israelites: ‘When you enter the country of Canaan, it will be allocated to you to own with the following boundaries:
3 “‘Chigawo cha kummwera kwa dziko lanu chidzayambira ku chipululu cha Zini motsatana ndi malire a Edomu. Kummawa malire anu a kummwera adzayambira kummawa, kumathero a Nyanja ya Mchere.
The southern extent of your country will be from the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern border will run east from the end of the Dead Sea,
4 Malirewo adzapita kummwera ndipo adzakwera phiri la Akirabimu mpaka ku Zini. Mathero ake adzakhala kummwera kwa Kadesi-Baranea. Ndipo adzapitenso ku Hazari Adari mpaka kukafika ku Azimoni,
cross south of Scorpion Pass, on to Zin, and reach its southern limit south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go to Hazar-addar and on to Azmon.
5 kumene malirewo adzakhote kuchokera ku Azimoni mpaka ku khwawa la ku Igupto ndi kukathera ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
There the boundary will turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 “‘Malire anu a ku madzulo adzakhala ku gombe la Nyanja Yayikulu. Amenewo ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a ku madzulo.
Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be your boundary to the west.
7 “‘Malire anu a kumpoto, mzere wake uyambire ku Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka ku phiri la Hori
Your northern border will run from the Mediterranean Sea straight to Mount Hor.
8 ndi kuchokera ku phiri la Hori mpaka ku Lebo Hamati. Malirewa apite ku Zedadi,
From Mount Hor the boundary will go to Lebo-hamath, then on to Zedad,
9 ndi kupitirira mpaka ku Ziforoni ndi kukathera ku Hazari-Enani. Awa ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a kumpoto.
to Ziphron, ending at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary to the north.
10 “‘Za malire anu a kummawa, mulembe mzere kuchokera ku Hazari-Enani mpaka kukafika ku Sefamu.
Your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham
11 Malirewo adzatsikire ku Sefamu mpaka ku Ribila cha kummawa kwa Aini ndi kupitirira mpaka ku matsitso a cha kummawa kwa Nyanja ya Kinereti.
Then the boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. It will pass down along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.
12 Tsono malirewo adzatsika motsatana ndi Yorodani ndi kukathera ku Nyanja ya Mchere. “‘Limeneli lidzakhala dziko lanu ndi malire ake mbali zonse.’”
Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan, ending at the Dead Sea. This is to be your land with its surrounding borders.’”
13 Ndipo Mose analamula Aisraeli kuti, “Limeneli ndi dziko limene mudzalilandira pochita maere kuti likhale cholowa chanu. Yehova analamula kuti liperekedwe ku mafuko asanu ndi anayi ndi theka,
Moses gave the order to the Israelites, “Allocate ownership of this land by lot. The Lord has commanded it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 chifukwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi, ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad, together with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their allocation.
15 Mafuko awiriwa pamodzi ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo patsidya pa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko cha kummawa kotulukira dzuwa.”
These two and a half tribes have received their allocation on the east side of the Jordan opposite Jericho.”
16 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
The Lord told Moses,
17 “Awa ndi mayina a anthu amene adzakugawireni dzikoli kuti likhale cholowa chanu: wansembe Eliezara ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni.
“These are the names of the men who will be in charge of allocating ownership of the land for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, son of Nun.
18 Musankhe mtsogoleri mmodzi kuchokera ku fuko lililonse kuti athandize kugawa dzikolo.
Have one leader from each tribe help in the distribution of the land.
