< Numbers 34 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:
“Atha andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya Kaanani-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio mũkaagaĩrwo ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu ũgaakorwo na mĩhaka ĩno:
3 The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:
“‘Mwena wanyu wa gũthini ũkoima Werũ-inĩ wa Zini kũrigania na mũhaka wa Edomu. Mwena wa irathĩro, mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gũthini ũkaambĩrĩria mũthia-inĩ wa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
4 Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.
ũtuĩkanĩirie mwena wa gũthini ũrorete Mwanya wa Akirabimu, ũthiĩte na mbere o nginya Zini, na ũikũrũke na mwena wa gũthini wa Kadeshi-Barinea. Ningĩ ũcooke ũkinye Hazoru-Adari, na uumĩrĩre Azimoni,
5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.
kũrĩa ũkaarigiicũka, ũnyiitane na karũũĩ ka Misiri, na ũrĩkĩrie Iria-inĩ.
6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
“‘Mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa ithũĩro ũgaakorwo ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ cia Iria rĩrĩa Inene. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa ithũĩro.
7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
“‘Naguo mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gathigathini uumĩte Iria rĩrĩa Inene ũgaakinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu,
8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
na kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Horu ũgaakinya Lebo-Hamathu. Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũgaakinya Zedadi,
9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
ũthiĩ na mbere nginya Zifironi, na ũgaathirĩra Hazoru-Enani. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gathigathini.
10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
“‘Na rĩrĩ, mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa irathĩro, ũkoima Hazoru-Enani ũkinye Shefamu.
11 And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,
Mũhaka ũcio ũgaaikũrũka kuuma Shefamu nginya Ribila, mwena wa irathĩro wa Aini, na ũthiĩ na mbere ũtwaranĩte na hurũrũka cia mwena wa irathĩro wa Iria rĩrĩa rĩa Kinerethu.
12 And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũikũrũkanie na Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, ũrĩkĩrie Iria-inĩ rĩa Cumbĩ. “‘Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka bũrũri wanyu, na mĩhaka yaguo mĩena yothe.’”
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
Musa agĩatha andũ a Isiraeli, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Mũkaagaya bũrũri ũcio na ũndũ wa kũũcukĩra mĩtĩ ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu Jehova nĩathanĩte akoiga ũkaaheeo mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa kenda na nuthu,
14 For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,
Tondũ nyũmba cia mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra igai rĩao.
15 That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.
Mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo yeerĩ na nuthu nĩĩrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra magai mayo mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ya Jeriko, kwerekera irathĩro rĩa riũa.”
16 And the Lord said to Moses:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
17 These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,
“Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa makaamũgayania bũrũri ũcio ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu: nĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni.
18 And one prince of every tribe,
Na ũthuure mũtongoria ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga nĩgeetha mateithĩrĩrie kũgayania bũrũri ũcio.
19 Whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa mao: nĩ Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda;
20 Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.
na Shemueli mũrũ wa Amihudu, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chaselon.
na Elidadi mũrũ wa Kisiloni, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini;
22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.
na Buki mũrũ wa Jogili, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Dani;
23 Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
na Hanieli mũrũ wa Efodi, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu;
24 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.
na Kemueli mũrũ wa Shifitani, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu mũrũ wa Jusufu;
25 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.
na Elizafani mũrũ wa Paranaki, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Zebuluni;
26 Of the tribe of Issachar, Phaltiel the prince, the son of Ozan.
na Palitieli mũrũ wa Azani, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru;
27 Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.
na Ahihudu mũrũ wa Shelomi, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Asheri;
28 Of the tribe of Nephtali: Phedael the son of Ammiud.
na Pedaheli mũrũ wa Amihudu, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Nafitali.”
29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.
Acio nĩo andũ arĩa Jehova aathanire makaagaĩra andũ a Isiraeli magai mao kũu bũrũri wa Kaanani.
