1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Atha andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya Kaanani-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio mũkaagaĩrwo ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu ũgaakorwo na mĩhaka ĩno:
“Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, and it has fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bound by these limits:
3 “‘Mwena wanyu wa gũthini ũkoima Werũ-inĩ wa Zini kũrigania na mũhaka wa Edomu. Mwena wa irathĩro, mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gũthini ũkaambĩrĩria mũthia-inĩ wa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
The southern part shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is next to Edom, and it shall have the Sea of Salt as a limit to the east.
4 ũtuĩkanĩirie mwena wa gũthini ũrorete Mwanya wa Akirabimu, ũthiĩte na mbere o nginya Zini, na ũikũrũke na mwena wa gũthini wa Kadeshi-Barinea. Ningĩ ũcooke ũkinye Hazoru-Adari, na uumĩrĩre Azimoni,
It shall circle on the south side along the ascent of the Scorpion, by this way crossing into Senna, and passing through, from the south, as far as Kadesh-barnea, from which its confines shall go out to the town called Adar, and extend even to Azmon.
5 kũrĩa ũkaarigiicũka, ũnyiitane na karũũĩ ka Misiri, na ũrĩkĩrie Iria-inĩ.
And its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.
6 “‘Mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa ithũĩro ũgaakorwo ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ cia Iria rĩrĩa Inene. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa ithũĩro.
Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.
7 “‘Naguo mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gathigathini uumĩte Iria rĩrĩa Inene ũgaakinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu,
Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.
8 na kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Horu ũgaakinya Lebo-Hamathu. Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũgaakinya Zedadi,
From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of Zedad.
9 ũthiĩ na mbere nginya Zifironi, na ũgaathirĩra Hazoru-Enani. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa gathigathini.
And its confines shall go all the way to Ziphron, and to the village of Enan. These shall be the limits on the northern side.
10 “‘Na rĩrĩ, mũhaka wanyu wa mwena wa irathĩro, ũkoima Hazoru-Enani ũkinye Shefamu.
From there, its limits shall be measured, facing the east side, from the village of Enan as far as Shepham.
11 Mũhaka ũcio ũgaaikũrũka kuuma Shefamu nginya Ribila, mwena wa irathĩro wa Aini, na ũthiĩ na mbere ũtwaranĩte na hurũrũka cia mwena wa irathĩro wa Iria rĩrĩa rĩa Kinerethu.
And from Shepham, the boundaries shall descend into Riblah, opposite the fountain of Daphnis. From there, the boundaries shall pass through, opposite the east, to the Sea of Chinnereth,
12 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũikũrũkanie na Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, ũrĩkĩrie Iria-inĩ rĩa Cumbĩ. “‘Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka bũrũri wanyu, na mĩhaka yaguo mĩena yothe.’”
and shall extend as far as the Jordan, and, at the furthest extent, shall be enclosed by the Sea of Salt. You shall have this land, with its borders all around.”
13 Musa agĩatha andũ a Isiraeli, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Mũkaagaya bũrũri ũcio na ũndũ wa kũũcukĩra mĩtĩ ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu Jehova nĩathanĩte akoiga ũkaaheeo mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa kenda na nuthu,
And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, saying: “This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord has ordered to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 Tondũ nyũmba cia mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, na mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra igai rĩao.
For the tribe of the sons of Ruben, by their families, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, according to the number of their kinships, and also one half of the tribe of Manasseh,
15 Mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo yeerĩ na nuthu nĩĩrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra magai mayo mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ya Jeriko, kwerekera irathĩro rĩa riũa.”
that is, two and a half tribes, have received their portion across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, toward the eastern side.”
16 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord said to Moses:
17 “Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa makaamũgayania bũrũri ũcio ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu: nĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni.
“These are the names of the men, who shall divide the land for you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun,
18 Na ũthuure mũtongoria ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga nĩgeetha mateithĩrĩrie kũgayania bũrũri ũcio.
and one leader from each tribe,
19 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa mao: nĩ Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda;
whose names are these: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
20 na Shemueli mũrũ wa Amihudu, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni;
from the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;
21 na Elidadi mũrũ wa Kisiloni, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
22 na Buki mũrũ wa Jogili, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Dani;
from the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;
23 na Hanieli mũrũ wa Efodi, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu;
of the sons of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod;
24 na Kemueli mũrũ wa Shifitani, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu mũrũ wa Jusufu;
from the tribe of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
25 na Elizafani mũrũ wa Paranaki, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Zebuluni;
from the tribe of Zebulon, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;
26 na Palitieli mũrũ wa Azani, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru;
from the tribe of Issachar, Paltiel the leader, the son of Azzan;
27 na Ahihudu mũrũ wa Shelomi, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Asheri;
from the tribe of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
28 na Pedaheli mũrũ wa Amihudu, ũrĩa mũtongoria kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Nafitali.”
from the tribe of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
29 Acio nĩo andũ arĩa Jehova aathanire makaagaĩra andũ a Isiraeli magai mao kũu bũrũri wa Kaanani.
These are the ones that the Lord has ordered to divide the land of Canaan to the sons of Israel.
