Joshua 13

1 Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:

Sasa Yoshua alikuwa mzee wakati Yahweh alipomwambia, “Umekuwa mzee, lakini bado kuna nchi kubwa ya kuteka.

2 To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.

Nchi iliyosalia ndio hii: mikoa yote ya Wafilisti, na mikoa ile ya Wageshuri,

3 From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.

(tangu Shihori, iliyoko mashariki mwa Misri, na upande wa kaskazini kuelekea mpaka wa Ekroni, inayofikiriwa kuwa ni mali ya Wakanaani; wafalme watano wa Wafilisti, wale wafalme wa Gaza, Ashidodi, Ashikeloni, Gathi na Ekroni - miliki ya Waavi.

4 And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,

Katika upande wa kusini, kulisalia nchi yote ya Wakanaani, na Meara ambayo ni miliki ya Wasidoni, hadi Afeki, hata mpaka wa Waamori;

5 And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.

nchi ya Wagebali, Lebanoni kuelekea upande wa mapambazuko ya jua, kutoka Baali- Gadi chini ya Mlima Hermoni mpaka Lebo Hamathi.

6 Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.

Pia, wenyeji wote wa nchi ya milima kutoka Lebanoni hadi Misrefothi - Maimu, pamoja na watu wa Sidoni. Nitawafukuza mbele ya jeshi la Israeli. Uwe na uhakika wa kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi, kama nilivyokuagiza.

7 And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,

Igawanye nchi hii kama urithi kwa makabila tisa na kwa nusu ya kabila la Manase.

8 With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.

Pamoja na nusu nyingine ya kabila la Manase, Wareubeni na Wagadi wamekwisha kupokea urithi wao ambao Musa aliwapa katika upande wa mashariki wa Yordani,

9 From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon:

kutoka Aroeri, iliyo katika ukingo wa bonde la mto Arnoni (kujumuisha na mji ambao uko katikati ya bonde), kwa nyanda zote za Medeba hadi Diboni;

10 And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.

miji yote ya Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alitawala katika Heshiboni, hata mpaka wa Waamori,

11 And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,

Gileadi na mkoa wa Wageshuri na Maakathi, mlima wote wa Hermoni, Bashani yote mpaka Saleka;

12 All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them.

ufalme wote wa Ogu katika Bashani, aliyetawala katika Ashitarothi na Edrei - hawa ni wale waliosalia katika Refaimu - ambao Musa aliwapiga na kuwafukuzia mbali.

13 And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.

Lakini watu wa Israeli hawakuwafukuza Wageshuri wala Wamakathi. Badala yake, Wageshuri na Wamakathi wanaishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli hadi leo.

14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

Kabila la Lawi pekee halikupewa urithi na Musa. Urithi wao ni sadaka za Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, zilizotolewa kwa moto, kama Mungu alivyomwagiza Musa.

15 And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.

Musa aliwapa urithi kabila la Rubeni, ukoo kwa ukoo.

16 And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,

Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Aroeri, juu ya ukingo wa bonde la Mto Arnoni, na mji ulio katikati ya bonde, na nyanda zote za Medeba.

17 And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,

Wareubeni walipata pia Heshiboni, na miji yake yote zilizo katika uwanda, Diboni, na Bamathi Baali, na Bethi Baalimeoni,

18 And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,

na Yahazi, na Kedemothi, na Mefaathi,

19 And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.

na Kiriathaimu, na Sibuma, na Zerethishahari juu ya kilima cha bonde.

20 Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,

Wareubeni walipata pia Bethi Peori, miteremko ya Pisiga, Bethi Yeshimothi,

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land.

miji yote ya uwanda, na ufalme wote wa Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alikuwa ametawala katika Heshiboni, ambaye Musa alikuwa amemshinda pamoja na viongozi wa Midiani, Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri na Reba, wana wa mfalme wa Sihoni, ambao walikuwa wameishi katika nchi.

22 Balaam also the son of Beer the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain.

Pia, watu wa Israeli walimwua kwa upanga Baalam mwana wa Beori, ambaye alifanya mambo ya uaguzi, miongoni mwa wale waliowaua.

23 And the river Jordan was the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of cities and villages.

Mpaka wa kabila la Rubeni ni Mto Yordani; huu ndio mpaka wao. Huu ulikuwa ni urithi wa kabila la Rubeni, uliotolewa kwa kila ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.

24 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.

Hiki ndicho Musa alilipa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo:

25 The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba:

Himaya yao ilikuwa Yazeri, miji yote ya Gileadi na nusu ya nchi ya Waamoni, hadi Aroeri, iliyo mashariki mwa Raba,

26 And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.

kutoka Heshiboni hadi Ramathi - Mizipe na Betonimu, kutoka Mahanaimu mpaka himaya ya Debiri.

27 And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side.

Katika bonde, Musa aliwapa Bethi -Haramu, Bethi - Nimra, Sukothi, na Zafoni, ufalme uliobakia wa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshiboni, pamoja na Yordani kama mpaka, katika sehemu za chini za mwisho wa Bahari ya Kinerethi, upande wa mashariki ng'ambo ya Yordani.

28 This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.

Huu ni urithi wa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.

29 He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,

Musa aliwapa urithi nusu ya kabila la Manase. Urithi uligawiwa kwa nusu ya kabila la watu wa Manase kutokana na kabila zao.

30 The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.

Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Mahanaimu, Bashani yote, ufalme wote wa mfalme Ogu wa Bashani, na miji yote ya Yairi, iliyo katika Bashani, miji sitini;

31 And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.

nusu ya Gileadi, na Ashitarothi na Edrei (miji ya kifalme ya Ogu katika Bashani). Miji hii iligawanywa kwa ukoo wa Makiri mwana wa Manase -nusu ya watu wa Makiri, walipewa kwa kila familia zao.

32 This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side.

Huu ndio urithi ambao Musa aliowagawia katika nyanda za Moabu, ng'ambo ya Yordani mashariki mwa Yeriko.

33 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.

Musa hakulipa urithi kabila la Lawi. kwa kuwa Yahweh, Mungu wa israeli, ni urithi wao, kama vile alivyowaambia.
