< Numbers 34 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
“Waamuru watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mtakapoingia katika nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itakuwa mali yenu, nchi ya Kanaani na mipaka yake, mpaka wenu wa kusini utaendelea kutoka nyika ya Sini hadi mpaka wa Edomu.
3 Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
Mwisho wa mpaka wa kusini utakuwa mwisho wa bahari ya chumvi kuelekea mashariki.
4 cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
Mpaka wenu utageukia kusini kutoka mlima kuelekea Akrabimu na kupitia nyika ya Sini. na kutokea huko utaelelkea kusini mwa Kadeshi Barinea na kuelekea Hazari Adari mpaka Azimoni.
5 where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
Kutoka huko, mpaka utageuka kutoka Azimoni kuelekea kijito cha Misri na kukifuata mpaka baharini.
6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
Mpaka wa Magharibi utakuwa pwani ya bahari kuu. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenuwa Magharibi.
7 Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
Mpaka wenu wa kaskazini utaanzia kwenye bahari kuu hadi Mlima Hori,
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
kisha kutoka Mlima Hori hadi Lebo Hamathi, kisha Zedadi.
9 continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
Mpaka utaendelea hadi Zifroni na kuishia Hazari Enani. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini.
10 And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
Kisha mtaweka alama za mpaka wenu wa mashariki ambao utaanzia Hazari Enani kuelekea kusini Shefamu.
11 then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
Kisha mpaka wa kusini utaendelea kutoka Shefamu hadi Ribla, upande wa masharikia mwa Aini. Mpaka utaedelea upande huo wa mashariki hadi upande wa mashariki wa bahari ya Kinerethi.
12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
Kisha mpaka utaendelea kuelekea kusini hadi mto Yorodani na hadi bahari ya chumvi. Hii ndiyo itakuwa nchi yenu, kwa kuifuata mipaka yake yote inayozunguka.'”
13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
Kisha Musa akawaamuru watu wa Israeli akasema, “Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtaipokes kwa kura, ambayo BWANA ameamuru kuwapa wale makabila tisa na nusu.
14 For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
Kabila ya uzao wa Reubeni, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na uzao wa kabila la Gadi, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na nusu ya Manase wamepata ardhi yao.
15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
Wale makabila mawili na nusu wameshapata mgawo wao ng'ambo ya mto Yorodani upande wa mashariki, kuelekea kule linakotokea jua.”
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
“Haya ndiyo majinaya watu watakaoigawa ardhi kwa ajili ya urithi wao: Eliazari kuhani na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
18 Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
Mtachagua kiongozi mmoja toka kila kabila ili kuigawa ardhi kwa koo zao.
19 These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
Haya ndiyo majina ya wanaume: Kutoka kabila la Yuda, Kalebu mwana wa Yefune.
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
Kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Simeoni, Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi.
21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
Kutoka kabila la Benjamini, Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni.
22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Dani, Buki mwana wa Jogili.
23 Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
Kiongozi kutoka uzao wa Yusufu, kwenye kabila la Manase, Hannieli mwana wa Efodi.
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
Kiongozi kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Efraimu, Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani.
25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Zabuloni, Elizafani mwana wa Parinaki.
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
Kiongozi kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Isakari, Palitieli mwana wa Azzani.
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Asheri, Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi.
28 and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Naftali, Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi.”
29 These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
BWANA aliwaamuru wanaume hawa kuigawa nchi ya Kanaani na kuwapa kila kabla sehemu yao.
