Joshua 13
1 Nowe when Ioshua was olde, and striken in yeeres, the Lord said vnto him, Thou art olde and growen in age, and there remaineth exceeding much land to be possessed:
Yoshua alipokuwa mzee na umri wake ukiwa umesogea sana, Bwana akamwambia, “Wewe ni mzee sana, na bado kumesalia sehemu kubwa sana za nchi ambazo ni za kutwaliwa.
2 This is the land that remaineth, all the regions of the Philistims, and all Geshuri,
“Nchi iliyosalia ni hii: maeneo yote ya Wafilisti na Wageshuri:
3 From Nilus which is in Egypt, euen vnto the borders of Ekron Northward: this is counted of the Canaanites, euen fiue Lordships of the Philistims, the Azzithites, and the Ashdodites, the Eshkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, and the Auites:
kutoka Mto Shihori ulioko mashariki mwa Misri, kuelekea kaskazini kwenye eneo la Ekroni, ambayo yote ilihesabika kama ya Wakanaani (maeneo yale matano ya watawala wa Kifilisti, ambayo ni Gaza, Ashdodi, Ashkeloni, Gathi na Ekroni: ndiyo nchi ya Waavi);
4 From the South, all the land of the Canaanites, and the caue that is beside the Sidonians, vnto Aphek, and to the borders of the Amorites:
kuanzia kusini, nchi yote ya Wakanaani, kuanzia Ara ambayo ni ya Wasidoni, ikienea hadi Afeki, na eneo la Waamori,
5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunne rising from Bahal-gad vnder mount Hermon, vntil one come to Hamath.
eneo la Wagebali; Lebanoni yote kuelekea mashariki, kuanzia Baal-Gadi chini ya Mlima Hermoni hadi Lebo-Hamathi.
6 All the inhabitants of the mountaines from Lebanon vnto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, I wil cast them out from before the children of Israel: only deuide thou it by lot vnto the Israelites, to inherite, as I haue commanded thee.
“Na kuhusu wakaaji wote katika maeneo ya milima, kuanzia Lebanoni hadi Misrefoth-Maimu, pamoja na eneo lote la Wasidoni, mimi mwenyewe nitawafukuza watoke mbele ya Waisraeli. Hakikisha umegawa nchi hii kwa Israeli kuwa urithi, kama nilivyokuagiza,
7 Nowe therefore deuide this lande to inherite, vnto the nine tribes, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh.
sasa basi, ligawanye eneo hili kwa yale makabila tisa na ile nusu ya kabila la Manase kuwa urithi.”
8 For with halfe therof the Reubenites and the Gadites haue receiued their inheritance, which Moses gaue them beyond Iorden Eastward, euen as Moses the seruant of the Lord had giuen them,
Ile nusu nyingine ya Manase, Wareubeni na Wagadi, walishapokea urithi Mose aliokuwa amewapa mashariki mwa Yordani, sawasawa na mtumishi wa Bwana alivyowagawia.
9 From Aroer that is on the brinke of the riuer Arnon, and from the citie that is in the mids of the riuer, and all the plaine of Medeba vnto Dibon,
Eneo lao lilienea toka Aroeri, iliyoko ukingoni mwa Bonde la Arnoni kuanzia mji ulio katikati ya bonde, likijumlisha nchi ya uwanda wa juu wote wa Medeba mpaka Diboni,
10 And all the cities of Sihon King of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, vnto the borders of the children of Ammon,
nayo miji yote ya Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, aliyetawala Heshboni, hadi mpakani mwa Waamoni.
11 And Gilead, and the borders of the Geshurites and of the Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, with all Bashan vnto Salcah:
Vilevile ilijumlisha Gileadi, eneo la Wageshuri na Wamaaka, mlima wote wa Hermoni na Bashani yote ikienea hadi Saleka:
12 All the kingdome of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei: (who remained of the rest of the gyants) for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
yaani ufalme wote wa Ogu katika Bashani, aliyekuwa ametawala katika Ashtarothi na Edrei, na ndiye pekee alisalia kwa Warefai. Mose alikuwa amewashinda na kuteka nchi yao.
13 But the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites euen vnto this day.
Lakini Waisraeli hawakuwafukuza watu wa Geshuri na wa Maaka, kwa hiyo wanaendelea kuishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli mpaka leo hii.
14 Onely vnto the tribe of Leui he gaue none inheritance, but the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel are his inheritance, as he said vnto him.
Lakini kwa kabila la Lawi, Mose hakupeana urithi, kwa kuwa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto zilizotolewa kwa Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, ndizo zilizokuwa urithi wao, kama alivyowaahidi.
15 Moses then gaue vnto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance, according to their families.
Haya ndiyo maeneo ambayo Mose alikuwa amewapa kabila la Reubeni ukoo kwa ukoo:
16 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the brinke of the riuer Arnon, and from the citie that is in the middes of the riuer, and all the plaine which is by Medeba:
Eneo la Aroeri lililo ukingoni mwa Bonde la Arnoni, na kuanzia mji ulio katikati ya bonde, pia uwanda wote wa juu kupita Medeba
17 Heshbon with all the cities thereof, that are in the plaine: Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Bethbaal-meon:
hadi Heshboni na miji yake yote kwenye uwanda wa juu, ikijumlishwa miji ya Diboni, Bamoth-Baali, Beth-Baal-Meoni,
18 And Iahazah, and Kedemoth and Mephaath:
Yahasa, Kedemothi, Mefaathi,
19 Kiriathaim also, and Sibmah, and Zerethshahar in the mount of Emek:
Kiriathaimu, Sibma, Sereth-Shahari juu ya kilima kilicho katika bonde,
20 And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-ieshimoth:
Beth-Peori, materemko ya Pisga na Beth-Yeshimothi:
21 And all the cities of the plaine: and all the kingdome of Sihon King of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whome Moses smote with the Princes of Midian, Eui, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the countrey.
miji yote ya uwanda wa juu na eneo lote la utawala wa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, aliyetawala katika Heshboni. Mose alikuwa amemshinda Sihoni, pia watawala wakuu wa Wamidiani, ambao ni Evi, Rekemu, Suri, Huri na Reba, waliokuwa wameungana na Sihoni, ambao waliishi katika nchi ile.
22 And Balaam the sonne of Beor the soothsayer did the children of Israel slay with the sword, among them that were slaine.
Pamoja na wale waliouawa katika vita, Waisraeli walikuwa wamemuua kwa upanga Balaamu mwana wa Beori aliyekuwa mchawi.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Iorden with the coastes. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, with the cities and their villages.
Mpaka wa Wareubeni ulikuwa ni ukingo wa Mto Yordani. Miji hii na vijiji vyake ndiyo iliyokuwa urithi wa Wareubeni ukoo kwa ukoo.
24 Also Moses gaue inheritance vnto ye tribe of Gad, euen vnto the children of Gad according to their families.
Haya ndiyo maeneo ambayo Mose alikuwa amewapa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo:
25 And their coastes were Iazer, and all the cities of Gilead and halfe the lande of the children of Ammon vnto Aroer, which is before Rabbah:
Nchi ya Yazeri, miji yote ya Gileadi na nusu ya nchi ya Amoni iliyoenea hadi Aroeri, karibu na Raba;
26 And from Heshbon vnto Ramoth, Mizpeh, and Betonim: and from Mahanaim vnto the borders of Debir:
na kuanzia Heshboni mpaka Ramath-Mispa na Betonimu, na kutoka Mahanaimu hadi eneo la Debiri;
27 And in the valley Beth-aram, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdome of Sihon King of Heshbon, vnto Iorden and the borders euen vnto the Sea coast of Cinneereth, beyond Iorden Eastward.
na katika bonde, Beth-Haramu, Beth-Nimra, Sukothi na Safoni na sehemu iliyobaki ya eneo la utawala wa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni (upande wa mashariki mwa Mto Yordani, eneo inayoishia kwenye Bahari ya Kinerethi).
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad, after their families, with the cities, and their villages.
Miji hii na vijiji vyake ilikuwa urithi wa kabila la Gadi ukoo kwa ukoo.
29 Also Moses gaue inheritance vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh: and this belonged to the halfe tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
Haya ndiyo maeneo ambayo Mose alikuwa amewapa hiyo nusu ya kabila la Manase, yaani kwa nusu ya jamaa ya uzao wa Manase, ukoo kwa ukoo:
30 And their border was from Mahanaim, euen all Bashan, to wit, all the kingdome of Og King of Bashan, and all the townes of Iair which are in Bashan, threescore cities,
Eneo lililoenea kuanzia Mahanaimu, na kujumlisha Bashani yote, ufalme wote wa Ogu mfalme wa Bashani, makazi yote ya Yairi huko Bashani, miji sitini,
31 And halfe Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were giuen vnto the children of Machir the sonne of Manasseh, to halfe of the children of Machir after their families.
nusu ya Gileadi, na Ashtarothi na Edrei (miji ya kifalme ya Ogu katika Bashani). Hii ilikuwa kwa ajili ya wazao wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, kwa ajili ya nusu ya wana wa Makiri, ukoo kwa ukoo.
32 These are the heritages, which Moses did distribute in the plaine of Moab beyond Iorden, toward Iericho Eastward.
Huu ndio urithi alioupeana Mose wakati alipokuwa katika tambarare za Moabu, ngʼambo ya Yordani mashariki mwa Yeriko.
33 But vnto the tribe of Leui Moses gaue none inheritance: for the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said vnto them.
Lakini kwa kabila la Walawi, Mose hakuwapa urithi; Bwana Mungu, Mungu wa Israeli ndiye urithi wao, kama alivyowaahidi.
