1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Akkana jedhii Israaʼeloota ajaji: ‘Yeroo isin Kanaʼaan seentanitti biyyi akka dhaalaatti isinii kennamtu sun daangaawwan kanneen qabaatti:
“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 “‘Daangaan keessan kan gama kibbaa Gammoojjii Siin kan qarqara Edoom irra jirtu irraa jalqaba; karaa baʼaatiin daangaan keessan kan kibbaa dhuma Galaana Soogiddaa irraa jalqaba;
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 daangaan keessan kibba irraa gara tabba Aqrabiimitti deebiʼee, gara Siinitti ceʼee hamma kibba Qaadesh Barneetti deema. Ergasiis gara Hazar Adaaritti ittuma fufee gara Azimoonitti darba.
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 Daangaan sunis Azimoon irraa gara laga Gibxitti deebiʼee galaana gaʼee dhuma.
From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 Daangaan keessan kan gama dhiʼaa immoo qarqara Galaana guddichaa ti. Kunis gama dhiʼaatiin daangaa keessan taʼa.
The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 Daarii keessan kan kaabaatiif galaana guddaadhaa hamma Tulluu Huuritti,
The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
8 Tulluu Huuriitii hamma Leeboo Hamaatiitti mallattoo tolchaa. Daariin sunis hamma Zedaaditti deemee
From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
9 hamma Ziifronitti itti fufee Hazar Eenaan irratti dhuma. Kunis daarii keessan kan kaabaa taʼa.
From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
10 Daarii keessan kan baʼaatiifis Hazar Eenaanii jalqabaatii hamma Shefaamaatti mallattoo tolchaa.
The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
11 Daariin sunis Shefaamaa jalqabee karaa baʼa Aayiniitiin hamma Riibilaatti gad buʼa; itti fufees hamma ededa gama baʼaa Galaana Kinereetitti argamuutti deema.
From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
12 Daariin kunis Yordaanositti gad buʼee Galaana Soogiddaa gaʼee dhaabata. “‘Egaa biyyi gama hundaan daarii qabu kun keessan taʼa.’”
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 Museen akkana jedhee Israaʼeloota ajaje: “Biyya kana dhaala godhadhaatii ixaadhaan qoodadhaa; Waaqayyo akka biyyi kun gosa sagalii fi walakkaadhaaf kennamu ajajeera;
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 maatiiwwan gosa Ruubeen, kan gosa Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee dhaala ofii fudhataniiruutii.
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
15 Gosoonni lamaanii fi walakkaan gosa tokkoo Yordaanos gamaa, fuullee Yerikootii gara baʼa biiftuutti karaa baʼaatiin dhaala isaanii argataniiru.”
They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
16 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 “Maqaan namoota akka dhaalaatti lafa kana isinii qoodaniis Eleʼaazaar lubichaa fi Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunii ti.
“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
18 Isinis akka isaan lafa dhaalaa qoodaniif tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa hoogganaa tokko filadhaa.
But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
19 “Maqaan isaaniis kanneenii dha: “Gosa Yihuudaa keessaa, Kaaleb ilma Yefunee;
“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 gosa Simiʼoon keessaa, Shemuuʼeel ilma Amiihuud;
21 gosa Beniyaam keessaa, Eliidaad ilma Kisloon;
22 gosa Daan keessaa hoogganaan, Bukii ilma Yoogilii;
23 gosa Minaasee ilma Yoosef keessaa hoogganaan, Haniiʼeel ilma Eefoodi;
24 gosa Efreem ilma Yoosef keessaa hoogganaan, Qamuʼeel ilma Shiifxaan;
25 gosa Zebuuloon keessaa hoogganaan, Eliisaafaan ilma Phaarnaak;
26 gosa Yisaakor keessaa hoogganaan, Phaaltiiʼeel ilma Azaan;
27 gosa Aasheer keessaa hoogganaan, Ahiihuud ilma Sheloomii;
28 gosa Niftaalem keessaa hoogganaan, Phedaaʼeel ilma Amiihuud.”
29 Namoonni kunneen warra Waaqayyo akka isaan biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Israaʼelootaaf dhaala hiraniif isaan ajajee dha.
Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
