< Numbers 34 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
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:
“Nye ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, ‘Mgbe unu banyere nʼala Kenan, ndị a bụ oke ala ndị ahụ unu ga-enweta dịka ihe nketa unu:
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.
“‘Oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ndịda ga-etinyetụ aka nʼọzara Zin. Ala unu na ala ndị Edọm ga-enwekọ oke ala. Nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, oke ala ndịda unu ga-ebido na ngwụcha Osimiri Nnu,
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.
gafee ndịda Akrabim, gabiga ruo ọzara Zin, gbada ndịda ruo Kadesh Banea. Site nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-aga ruo Haza Ada, gafee ruo Azmọn,
5 From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
ebe ọ ga-echigharị gbasoro iyi Wadi nke Ijipt ma kwụsị nʼosimiri Mediterenịa.
6 The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
Oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ ga-abụ ọnụ mmiri osimiri Mediterenịa. Nke a ga-abụ oke ala unu.
7 The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
Oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ugwu ga-amalite nʼosimiri Mediterenịa ruo nʼugwu Hor.
8 From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
Ọ ga-esitekwa nʼugwu Hor ruo Lebo Hamat, gbatịakwa ruo Zedad,
9 From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
ruo Zifron tutu kwụsị na Haza Enan. Nke a ga-abụ oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ugwu.
10 The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
Oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ga-ebido na Haza Enan ruo Shefam.
11 From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
Oke ala ahụ ga-agbada site Shefam ruo Ribla nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Ain. Site nʼebe ahụ, ọ ga-agbasoro ndịda ọdịda anyanwụ Osimiri Galili.
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.”
Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-aga ogologo ogologo, gbasoro osimiri Jọdan, tutu kwụsị nʼOsimiri Nnu. “‘Nke a bụ ala unu, na oke ala ya nʼakụkụ ọbụla.’”
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.
Mosis nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị, “Kesaanụ ala a dịka ihe nketa site nʼife nza. Onyenwe anyị enyela iwu ka enye ya ebo itoolu na ọkara ndị ahụ fọdụrụ.
14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
Nʼihi na ebo Ruben na Gad tinyere ọkara ebo Manase, enwetalarị ala ihe nketa ha.
15 They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
Ebo abụọ nʼọkara ndị a enwetala ihe nketa nke ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, na ncherita ihu obodo Jeriko.”
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
17 “These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
“Ndị a bụ aha ndị ikom m họpụtara ịhụ na e kenyere unu ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa unu. Elieza onye nchụaja, na Joshua nwa Nun.
18 But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
Site nʼebo ọbụla họpụta otu onyendu ka ha nye aka ikesa ala nketa ahụ.
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.”
“Ndị a bụ aha ndị a họpụtara: “Kaleb nwa Jefune, site nʼebo Juda.
Shemuel nwa Amihud, site nʼebo Simiọn
Elidad nwa Kislon, site nʼebo Benjamin.
Buki nwa Jogli, onyendu si nʼebo Dan.
Haniel nwa Efod, onyendu si nʼebo Manase, nwa Josef.
Kemuel nwa Shiftan, onyendu si nʼebo Ifrem, nwa Josef.
Elizafan nwa Panak, onyendu si nʼebo Zebụlọn.
Paltiel nwa Azan, onyendu si nʼebo Isaka.
Abihud nwa Shelomi, onyendu si nʼebo Asha.
Pedahel nwa Amihud, onyendu si nʼebo Naftalị.”
29 Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu si ha kenye ndị Izrel ihe nketa ha nʼala Kenan.
