Mitango 34
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 « Pesa mitindo oyo na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokokota na Kanana, tala mokili oyo ekopesamela bino lokola libula, mokili ya Kanana elongo na bandelo na yango oyo:
“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:
3 Na ngambo ya sude, mondelo na bino ekobanda na esobe ya Tsini mpe ekolanda mondelo ya mokili ya Edomi. Na ngambo ya este, mondelo na bino ya sude ekobanda na ebale monene ya Barozo,
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.
4 ekokita na sude ya ebandeli ya ngomba Akarabimi mpe ekoleka na Tsini kino na sude ya Kadeshi-Barinea; ekokoba na Atsari-Adari mpe ekoleka na Atsimoni.
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.
5 Longwa na Atsimoni, ekoleka na mayi ya lubwaku ya Ejipito mpo na kosuka na ebale monene.
From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 Mondelo na bino ya ngambo ya weste ekozala ebale monene Mediterane.
The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 Na ngambo ya nor, mondelo na bino ekobanda na ebale monene Mediterane kino na ngomba Ori.
The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
8 Longwa na ngomba Ori, bokolekisa yango na Lebo-Amati mpo na kosuka na Tsedadi.
From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
9 Longwa na Tsedadi, ekoleka na Zifironi mpe ekokoma na Atsari-Enani. Yango nde ekozala mondelo na bino ya ngambo ya nor.
From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
10 Na ngambo ya este, mondelo na bino ekobanda na Atsari-Enani kino na Shefami;
The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
11 longwa na Shefami, ekokita na Ribila na ngambo ya este ya Ayini mpe ekolanda ebale ya Kinereti, na ngambo na yango ya este,
From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
12 kino na Yordani mpo na kosuka na ebale monene ya Barozo. Ezali ndenge wana nde mokili na bino ekozala elongo na bandelo oyo ezingeli yango. › »
Then the border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”
13 Moyize apesaki mitindo oyo na bana ya Isalaele: « Tala yango wana, mokili oyo bokokabola na zeke, mokili oyo Yawe apesaki mitindo ete bapesa yango na mabota libwa na ndambo.
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.
14 Pamba te ndako na ndako ya libota ya Ribeni mpe ndako na ndako ya libota ya Gadi elongo na ndambo ya libota ya Manase esilaki kozwa libula na yango.
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
15 Mabota oyo mibale na ndambo ezwaki libula na yango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, oyo etalana na Jeriko. »
They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
16 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 « Tala bato oyo bakokabola mokili kati na bino: Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
18 Bokozwa lisusu mokambi moko kati na libota moko na moko mpo na kokabola mokili.
But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
19 Tala bakombo na bango: Mpo na libota ya Yuda: Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune;
“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.”
20 mpo na libota ya Simeoni: Samuele, mwana mobali ya Amiwudi;
21 mpo na libota ya Benjame: Elidadi, mwana mobali ya Kisiloni;
22 mpo na libota ya Dani: mokambi Buki, mwana mobali ya Yogili;
23 mpo na bana ya Jozefi, libota ya Manase: mokambi Anieli, mwana mobali ya Efodi;
24 libota ya Efrayimi: mokambi Kemweli, mwana mobali ya Shifitani;
25 mpo na libota ya Zabuloni: mokambi Elitsafani, mwana mobali ya Parinaki;
26 mpo na libota ya Isakari: mokambi Palitieli, mwana mobali ya Azani;
27 mpo na libota ya Aseri: mokambi Ayiwudi, mwana mobali ya Shelomi;
28 mpo na libota ya Nefitali: mokambi Padeyeli, mwana mobali ya Amiwudi. »
29 Bango wana nde bato oyo Yawe apesaki mokumba ya kokabola mokili ya Kanana kati na bana ya Isalaele.
Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
