< Numbers 34 >
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
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:
“Rayira vaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kana mapinda muKenani, nyika ichagoverwa kwamuri senhaka, ichava nemiganhu iyi:
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.
“‘Rutivi rwenyu rwezasi ruchasanganisira chikamu cheGwenga reZini chinotevedzana nomuganhu weEdhomu. Muganhu wenyu wezasi, uchatangira kumagumo eGungwa roMunyu nechokumabvazuva,
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.
uchiyambukira zasi kweAkirabhimu, uchipfuurira nokuZini uye uchienda nezasi kweKadheshi Bharinea. Ipapo uchazoenda nokuHazari Adhari uchindosvika kuAzimoni,
5 From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
kwaunondopota, wobatana noRukova rweIjipiti uchindogumira paGungwa.
6 The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
Muganhu wenyu wokumavirira uchange uri mahombekombe eGungwa Guru. Ndiwo uchava muganhu wenyu nechokumavirira.
7 The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
Pamuganhu wenyu wokumusoro, munofanira kutara mutaro unobva kuGungwa Guru uchisvika kuGomo reHori
8 From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
uye kubva paGomo reHori uchisvika kuRebho Hamati. Ipapo muganhu uchaenda kuZedhadhi,
9 From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
wopfuurira kuZifurani uchindogumira paHazari Enani. Ndiwo uchava muganhu wenyu nechokumusoro.
10 The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
Pamuganhu wenyu wokumabvazuva, munofanira kutara mutaro unobva kuHazari Enani uchisvika kuShefami.
11 From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
Muganhu uchadzika uchibva nokuShefami uchisvika kuRibhura nechokumabvazuva kweZini ugopfuurira wakatevedza materu ari kumabvazuva kweGungwa reKinereti.
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.”
Ipapo muganhu uchadzika uchitevedza Jorodhani uchindoguma paGungwa roMunyu. “‘Iyi ndiyo ichava nyika yenyu, nemiganhu yayo kumativi ose.’”
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.
Mozisi akarayira vaIsraeri akati, “Goverai nyika iyi nomujenya wenhaka yenyu. Jehovha akarayira kuti ipiwe kumarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu,
14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
nokuti mhuri dzorudzi rwaRubheni, norudzi rwaGadhi uye nehafu yorudzi rwaManase vakagamuchira nhaka yavo.
15 They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
Marudzi maviri aya nehafu vakagamuchira nhaka yavo kumabvazuva kweJorodhani reJeriko, kwakatarisana nokumabudazuva.”
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
17 “These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
“Aya ndiwo mazita avarume vanofanira kukugoverai nyika senhaka yenyu: Ereazari muprista naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni.
18 But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
Uye ugadze mutungamiri mumwe chete kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe kuti vabatsire pakugova nyika.
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.”
“Aya ndiwo mazita avo: “Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune, kubva kurudzi rwaJudha;
Kubva kurudzi rwaSimeoni, Shemueri mwanakomana waAmihudhi;
Kubva kurudzi rwaBhenjamini, Eridhadhi mwanakomana waKisironi;
Kubva kurudzi rwaDhani mutungamiri Bhuki mwanakomana waJogiri;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaManase mwanakomana waJosefa, Hanieri mwanakomana waEfodhi;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaEfuremu mwanakomana waJosefa, Kemueri mwanakomana waShifutani;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaZebhuruni, Erizafani mwanakomana waParanaki;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaIsakari, Paritieri mwanakomana waAzani;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaAsheri, Ahihudhi mwanakomana waSheromi;
Mutungamiri kubva kurudzi rwaNafutari, Pedhaheri mwanakomana waAmihudhi.”
29 Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
Ava ndivo varume vakarayirwa naJehovha kuti vagovere nhaka kuvaIsraeri munyika yeKenani.
