< Numbers 34 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this [is] the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders—
“Waamuru watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mtakapoingia katika nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itakuwa mali yenu, nchi ya Kanaani na mipaka yake, mpaka wenu wa kusini utaendelea kutoka nyika ya Sini hadi mpaka wa Edomu.
3 then the south quarter has been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border has been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea eastward;
Mwisho wa mpaka wa kusini utakuwa mwisho wa bahari ya chumvi kuelekea mashariki.
4 and the border has turned around to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and has passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it has gone out at Hazar-Addar, and has passed on to Azmon;
Mpaka wenu utageukia kusini kutoka mlima kuelekea Akrabimu na kupitia nyika ya Sini. na kutokea huko utaelelkea kusini mwa Kadeshi Barinea na kuelekea Hazari Adari mpaka Azimoni.
5 and the border has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
Kutoka huko, mpaka utageuka kutoka Azimoni kuelekea kijito cha Misri na kukifuata mpaka baharini.
6 As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.
Mpaka wa Magharibi utakuwa pwani ya bahari kuu. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenuwa Magharibi.
7 And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor;
Mpaka wenu wa kaskazini utaanzia kwenye bahari kuu hadi Mlima Hori,
8 from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;
kisha kutoka Mlima Hori hadi Lebo Hamathi, kisha Zedadi.
9 and the border has gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is the north border to you.
Mpaka utaendelea hadi Zifroni na kuishia Hazari Enani. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini.
10 And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;
Kisha mtaweka alama za mpaka wenu wa mashariki ambao utaanzia Hazari Enani kuelekea kusini Shefamu.
11 and the border has gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border has gone down, and has struck against the shoulder of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward;
Kisha mpaka wa kusini utaendelea kutoka Shefamu hadi Ribla, upande wa masharikia mwa Aini. Mpaka utaedelea upande huo wa mashariki hadi upande wa mashariki wa bahari ya Kinerethi.
12 and the border has gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is the land for you by its borders all around.”
Kisha mpaka utaendelea kuelekea kusini hadi mto Yorodani na hadi bahari ya chumvi. Hii ndiyo itakuwa nchi yenu, kwa kuifuata mipaka yake yote inayozunguka.'”
13 And Moses commands the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the land which you inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;
Kisha Musa akawaamuru watu wa Israeli akasema, “Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtaipokes kwa kura, ambayo BWANA ameamuru kuwapa wale makabila tisa na nusu.
14 for the tribe of the sons of Reuben, by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and [those of] the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
Kabila ya uzao wa Reubeni, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na uzao wa kabila la Gadi, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na nusu ya Manase wamepata ardhi yao.
15 the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.”
Wale makabila mawili na nusu wameshapata mgawo wao ng'ambo ya mto Yorodani upande wa mashariki, kuelekea kule linakotokea jua.”
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
17 “These [are] the names of the men who give the inheritance of the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
“Haya ndiyo majinaya watu watakaoigawa ardhi kwa ajili ya urithi wao: Eliazari kuhani na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
18 And one prince—you take one prince from a tribe to give the land by inheritance.
Mtachagua kiongozi mmoja toka kila kabila ili kuigawa ardhi kwa koo zao.
19 And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
Haya ndiyo majina ya wanaume: Kutoka kabila la Yuda, Kalebu mwana wa Yefune.
20 and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;
Kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Simeoni, Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi.
21 of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
Kutoka kabila la Benjamini, Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni.
22 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki son of Jogli;
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Dani, Buki mwana wa Jogili.
23 of the sons of Joseph, a prince of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Hanniel son of Ephod;
Kiongozi kutoka uzao wa Yusufu, kwenye kabila la Manase, Hannieli mwana wa Efodi.
24 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
Kiongozi kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Efraimu, Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani.
25 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach;

26 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan;

27 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Asheri, Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi.
28 and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Naftali, Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi.”
29 These [are] those whom YHWH has commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
BWANA aliwaamuru wanaume hawa kuigawa nchi ya Kanaani na kuwapa kila kabla sehemu yao.
