< Numbers 34 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
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:
“Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri ng’obagamba nti, ‘Bwe muyingiranga mu Kanani, gye mbawa okuba ensi yammwe ey’obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira, zino ze ziribeera ensalo zaayo:
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.
“‘Ku bukiikaddyo, ensalo yammwe erizingiramu Eddungu lya Zini n’ekibira ku mabbali ga Edomu. Ku luuyi lw’ebuvanjuba, ensalo yammwe ey’oku bukiikaddyo eritandikira ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo w’ekoma ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba,
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.
n’eyambukira ku Kkubo lya Akulabbimu, n’eraga ku Zini n’ekoma ku bukiikaddyo obwa Kadesubanea. Eriraga e Kazala Dali n’etuuka e Yazimoni,
5 From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
awo w’eriwetera n’egenda ku mugga Wadi ogw’e Misiri n’ekoma ku Nnyanja Ennene.
6 The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
Ku ludda olw’ebugwanjuba, olubalama lw’Ennyanja Ennene lwe lulibeera ensalo yammwe. Eyo y’eriba ensalo yammwe ey’ebugwanjuba.
7 The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
Ku ludda olw’obukiikakkono, ensalo yammwe egenda kuva ku Nnyanja Ennene erage ku Lusozi Koola;
8 From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
eve e Koola erage w’oyingirira Kamasi. Ensalo olwo eriraga e Zedada,
9 From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
ne yeeyongerayo okutuuka e Zifuloni, n’ekoma mu Kazalenooni. Eyo y’eriba ensalo yammwe ey’oku bukiikakkono.
10 The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
Ensalo yammwe ey’ebuvanjuba erigoberera olunyiriri oluva e Kazalenooni okutuuka e Sefamu.
11 From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
Ensalo n’eserengeta okuva e Sefamu okutuuka e Libula ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba bwa Yaini, n’ebalama amabbali g’ensozi ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba bw’Ennyanja y’e Kinneresi, y’ey’e Ggaliraaya.
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.”
Olwo ensalo n’egendera ku mugga Yoludaani n’ekoma ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo. “‘Eyo y’eribeera ensi yammwe, n’ezo nga ze nsalo zaayo ku buli luuyi.’”
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.
Awo Musa n’alagira abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Ensi eyo muligibawa okubeera obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira nga mukuba akalulu. Mukama alagidde ensi eyo egabanibwe ebika omwenda n’ekitundu,
14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
kubanga ab’empya z’ekika kya Gaadi n’ekya Lewubeeni, n’ab’empya z’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, baamala okugabana obutaka bwabwe.
15 They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
Ebika ebyo ebibiri n’ekitundu byamala okugabana obutaka bwabyo ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olw’Omugga Yoludaani ogwa Yeriko okutunuulira enjuba gy’eva.”
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
17 “These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
“Gano ge mannya g’abasajja abalibagabanyizaamu ensi eyo okubeera obutaka bwammwe: Eriyazaali kabona ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni.
18 But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
Era ojja kulonda mu buli kika omukulembeze omu okuyamba mu kugabana ensi.
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.”
“Gano ge mannya gaabwe: “Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ng’ava mu kika kya Yuda.
Semweri mutabani wa Ammikudi ng’ava mu kika kya Simyoni.
Eridaadi mutabani wa Kisuloni ng’ava mu kika kya Benyamini.
Buki mutabani wa Yoguli ng’ava mu kika kya Ddaani.
Kanieri mutabani wa Efodi ng’ava mu kika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu.
Kemueri mutabani wa Sifutani ng’ava mu kika kya Efulayimu mutabani wa Yusufu.
Erizafani mutabani wa Palunaki nga ye mukulembeze okuva mu kika kya Zebbulooni.
Palutiyeri mutabani wa Azani nga ye mukulembeze okuva mu kika kya Isakaali,
ne Akikuda mutabani wa Seromi nga ye mukulembeze okuva mu kika kya Aseri,
ne Pedakeri mutabani wa Ammikudi nga ye mukulembeze okuva mu kika kya Nafutaali.”
29 Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
Abo be basajja Mukama be yalagira okugabanyaamu ensi ya Kanani okubeera obutaka bw’abaana ba Isirayiri.
