Numbers 34
1 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )
“Lamula Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Pamene mulowa mʼdziko la Kanaani, dziko lomwe lidzaperekedwa kwa inu ngati cholowa chanu, lidzakhale ndi malire awa:
3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
“‘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.
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
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,
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
kumene malirewo adzakhote kuchokera ku Azimoni mpaka ku khwawa la ku Igupto ndi kukathera ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
“‘Malire anu a ku madzulo adzakhala ku gombe la Nyanja Yayikulu. Amenewo ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a ku madzulo.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
“‘Malire anu a kumpoto, mzere wake uyambire ku Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka ku phiri la Hori
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
ndi kuchokera ku phiri la Hori mpaka ku Lebo Hamati. Malirewa apite ku Zedadi,
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
ndi kupitirira mpaka ku Ziforoni ndi kukathera ku Hazari-Enani. Awa ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a kumpoto.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
“‘Za malire anu a kummawa, mulembe mzere kuchokera ku Hazari-Enani mpaka kukafika ku Sefamu.
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
Malirewo adzatsikire ku Sefamu mpaka ku Ribila cha kummawa kwa Aini ndi kupitirira mpaka ku matsitso a cha kummawa kwa Nyanja ya Kinereti.
12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
Tsono malirewo adzatsika motsatana ndi Yorodani ndi kukathera ku Nyanja ya Mchere. “‘Limeneli lidzakhala dziko lanu ndi malire ake mbali zonse.’”
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which YHWH commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
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,
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
chifukwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi, ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo.
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
Mafuko awiriwa pamodzi ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo patsidya pa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko cha kummawa kotulukira dzuwa.”
16 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
“Awa ndi mayina a anthu amene adzakugawireni dzikoli kuti likhale cholowa chanu: wansembe Eliezara ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
Musankhe mtsogoleri mmodzi kuchokera ku fuko lililonse kuti athandize kugawa dzikolo.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Mayina awo ndi awa: Kalebe mwana wa Yefune, wochokera ku fuko la Yuda,
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
Semueli mwana wa Amihudi, wochokera ku fuko la Simeoni;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Elidadi mwana wa Kisiloni, wochokera ku fuko la Benjamini;
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
Buki mwana wa Yogili, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Dani;
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Manase, mwana wa Yosefe;
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
Kemueli mwana wa Sifitani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Efereimu, mwana wa Yosefe.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
Palitieli mwana wa Azani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Isakara,
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
Ahihudi mwana wa Selomi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Aseri;
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Nafutali.”
29 These are they whom YHWH commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Awa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Yehova analamula kuti agawe cholowa cha Aisraeli mʼdziko la Kanaani.
