Numbers 34
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye come into the land of Canaan, shall this be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance: The land of Canaan according to its boundaries.
“Waamuru Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itagawanywa kwenu kama urithi itakuwa na mipaka ifuatayo:
3 And the southern side shall be unto you from the wilderness of Zin along by the boundary of Edom, and your southern border shall commence at the outmost edge of the Salt Sea on its east side.
“‘Upande wenu wa kusini utajumuisha sehemu ya Jangwa la Sini kufuata mpaka wa Edomu. Upande wa mashariki mpaka wenu wa kusini utaanzia mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi,
4 And the border shall turn for you from the south of the ascent of 'Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin; and its terminating points shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea', and shall go on to Chazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon;
katiza kusini mwa Pito la Akrabimu, endelea mpaka Sini na kwenda kusini ya Kadesh-Barnea. Kisha mpaka huo utaenda hadi Hasar-Adari hadi Azmoni,
5 And the border shall turn from 'Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and its terminating points shall be at the sea.
mahali ambapo utapinda, na kuunganika na Kijito cha Misri na kumalizikia kwenye Bahari ya Kati.
6 And as the western border, shall ye have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your western border.
“‘Mpaka wenu wa magharibi utakuwa Bahari ya Kati. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa magharibi.
7 And this shall be unto you the northern border: from the Great Sea shall ye mark out for you [the boundary to] mount Hor;
“‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini, wekeni alama kuanzia Bahari ya Kati hadi mlima Hori,
8 From mount Hor shall ye mark out [the boundary] unto the entrance of Chamath; and the terminations of the border shall be toward Zedad;
na kutoka mlima Hori hadi Pito la Hamathi. Kisha mpaka utaenda hadi Sedadi,
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and its terminating points shall be at Chazar'-enan: this shall be unto you the northern border.
kuendelea hadi Zifroni, na kuishia Hasar-Enani. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa kaskazini.
10 And ye shall turn yourselves to the eastern border, from Chazar-'enan to Shepham;
“‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa mashariki, wekeni alama kuanzia Hasar-Enani hadi Shefamu.
11 And the boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, to the eastward of 'Ayin; and the boundary shall descend, and shall touch upon the coast of the sea of Kinnereth, eastward;
Mpaka utaelekea kusini kuanzia Shefamu hadi Ribla upande wa mashariki wa Aini, na kuendelea kwenye miteremko mashariki mwa Bahari ya Kinerethi.
12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its terminating points shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land after its boundaries round about.
Kisha mpaka utashuka kuelekea Mto Yordani na kuishia katika Bahari ya Chumvi. “‘Hii itakuwa nchi yenu, ikiwa na mipaka yake kila upande.’”
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
Mose akawaamuru Waisraeli: “Gawanyeni nchi hii kwa kura kama urithi. Bwana ameagiza kwamba itolewe kwa yale makabila tisa na nusu,
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their family divisions, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their family divisions, have received, —and the half of the tribe of Menasseh have received their inheritance;
kwa sababu jamaa ya kabila la Reubeni, kabila la Gadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase wamekwishapokea urithi wao.
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan opposite Jericho eastward, toward the rising of the sun.
Haya makabila mawili na nusu wamekwishapokea urithi wao upande wa mashariki wa Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko, kuelekea mawio ya jua.”
16 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
17 These are the names of the men who shall parcel out unto you the land: Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
“Haya ndiyo majina ya watu ambao watakusaidia kugawanya nchi kama urithi: Eleazari kuhani na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
18 And one prince each from every tribe shall ye take to parcel out the land.
Tena uteue kiongozi mmoja kutoka kila kabila kusaidia kuigawanya nchi.
19 And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Yephunneh:
Haya ndiyo majina yao: “Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, kutoka kabila la Yuda;
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of 'Ammihud;
Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi, kutoka kabila la Simeoni;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Kisslon;
Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni, kutoka kabila la Benyamini;
22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan the prince, Bukki the son of Yogli;
Buki mwana wa Yogli, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Dani;
23 Of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Menasseh the prince, Channiel the son of Ephod;
Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Manase mwana wa Yosefu;
24 And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim the prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Efraimu mwana wa Yosefu;
25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun the prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar the prince, Paltiel the son of 'Azzan;

27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher the prince, Achihud the son of Shelomi;
Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Asheri;
28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali the prince, Pedahel the son of 'Ammihud.

29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide out the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Hawa ndio watu ambao Bwana aliamuru wagawanye urithi kwa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Kanaani.
