Numbers 34
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: You will soon enter Canaan land, and it will become yours. These will be the borders of the land:
“Lamula Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Pamene mulowa mʼdziko la Kanaani, dziko lomwe lidzaperekedwa kwa inu ngati cholowa chanu, lidzakhale ndi malire awa:
3 On the south you will receive part of the Zin Desert, near the border of the Edom [region]. On the east side, the border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea.
“‘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 It will extend to a little south of the Scorpion Pass, and extend [west] through [the] Zin [Desert] and south of Kadesh-Barnea. From there it will extend to Hazar Addar and from there 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 From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
kumene malirewo adzakhote kuchokera ku Azimoni mpaka ku khwawa la ku Igupto ndi kukathera ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
6 The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
“‘Malire anu a ku madzulo adzakhala ku gombe la Nyanja Yayikulu. Amenewo ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a ku madzulo.
7 The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
“‘Malire anu a kumpoto, mzere wake uyambire ku Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka ku phiri la Hori
8 From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
ndi kuchokera ku phiri la Hori mpaka ku Lebo Hamati. Malirewa apite ku Zedadi,
9 From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
ndi kupitirira mpaka ku Ziforoni ndi kukathera ku Hazari-Enani. Awa ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a kumpoto.
10 The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
“‘Za malire anu a kummawa, mulembe mzere kuchokera ku Hazari-Enani mpaka kukafika ku Sefamu.
11 From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
Malirewo adzatsikire ku Sefamu mpaka ku Ribila cha kummawa kwa Aini ndi kupitirira mpaka ku matsitso a cha kummawa kwa Nyanja ya Kinereti.
12 Then the border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”
Tsono malirewo adzatsika motsatana ndi Yorodani ndi kukathera ku Nyanja ya Mchere. “‘Limeneli lidzakhala dziko lanu ndi malire ake mbali zonse.’”
13 So Moses/I [told all that] to the Israeli people. Then he/I said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must throw (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.
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 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
chifukwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi, ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo.
15 They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
Mafuko awiriwa pamodzi ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo patsidya pa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko cha kummawa kotulukira dzuwa.”
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 “These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
“Awa ndi mayina a anthu amene adzakugawireni dzikoli kuti likhale cholowa chanu: wansembe Eliezara ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni.
18 But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
Musankhe mtsogoleri mmodzi kuchokera ku fuko lililonse kuti athandize kugawa dzikolo.
19 “From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh’s son Caleb. From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud’s son Shemuel. From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon’s son Elidad. From the tribe of Dan appoint Jogli’s son Bukki. From the tribe of Manasseh appoint Ephod’s son Hanniel. From the tribe of Ephraim appoint Shiphtan’s son Kemuel. From the tribe of Zebulun appoint Parnach’s son Elizaphan. From the tribe of Issachar appoint Azzan’s son Paltiel. From the tribe of Asher appoint Shelomi’s son Ahihud. From the tribe of Naphtali appoint Ammihud’s son Pedahel.”
Mayina awo ndi awa: Kalebe mwana wa Yefune, wochokera ku fuko la Yuda,
Semueli mwana wa Amihudi, wochokera ku fuko la Simeoni;
Elidadi mwana wa Kisiloni, wochokera ku fuko la Benjamini;
Buki mwana wa Yogili, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Dani;
Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Manase, mwana wa Yosefe;
Kemueli mwana wa Sifitani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Efereimu, mwana wa Yosefe.
Elizafani mwana wa Parinaki, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Zebuloni;
Palitieli mwana wa Azani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Isakara,
Ahihudi mwana wa Selomi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Aseri;
Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Nafutali.”
29 Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
Awa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Yehova analamula kuti agawe cholowa cha Aisraeli mʼdziko la Kanaani.
