4 Thuurai andũ atatũ kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, na niĩ nĩngũmatũma magatuĩrie ũrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũtariĩ na maandĩke ũhoro waguo, wa ũrĩa ũngĩgaĩrwo o mũhĩrĩga. Thuutha ũcio macooke moke kũrĩ niĩ.
Provide for yourselves three men to the tribe so I may send them and they may arise so they may walk in the land so they may describe in writing it to [the] mouth of inheritance their so they may come to me.
5 Na inyuĩ nĩmũkagayania bũrũri ũcio icunjĩ mũgwanja. Mũhĩrĩga wa Juda ũgaikara o kũu bũrũri waguo mwena wa gũthini, nayo nyũmba ya Jusufu ĩikare bũrũri wayo mwena wa gathigathini.
And they will divide among themselves it seven portions Judah it will remain on territory its from [the] south and [the] house of Joseph they will remain on territory their from [the] north.
6 Mwarĩkia kwandĩka ũrĩa ngʼongo icio mũgwanja ingĩgayanio-rĩ, mũndehere ũhoro o haha, na niĩ ndĩmũcuukĩre mĩtĩ ndĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ.
And you you will describe in writing the land seven portions and you will bring [it] to me hither and I will throw for you a lot here before Yahweh God our.
7 No rĩrĩ, Alawii matikagaya igai gatagatĩ kanyu, nĩgũkorwo igai rĩao nĩ gũtungatĩra Jehova na wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Nao andũ a Gadi, na a Rubeni, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase nĩmarĩkĩtie kwĩgwatĩra igai rĩao kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aamaheire.”

And they arose the men and they went and he commanded Joshua those [who] went to describe in writing the land saying go and walk about in the land and describe in writing it and return to me and here I will throw for you a lot before Yahweh in Shiloh.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makiumagara magĩtuĩkania bũrũri ũcio, na makĩandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ũrĩa bũrũri ũcio watariĩ, o itũũra, maũgaĩte icunjĩ mũgwanja, na magĩcooka kũrĩ Joshua kambĩ-inĩ, o kũu Shilo.
And they went the men and they passed in the land and they described in writing it to the cities into seven portions on a scroll and they came to Joshua to the camp Shiloh.
