Torati 34
1 Kisha Mose akaupanda mlima Nebo kutoka tambarare za Moabu mpaka kilele cha Pisga, ngʼambo ya Yeriko. Huko Bwana akamwonyesha nchi yote: kutoka Gileadi mpaka Dani,
Then Moses climbed up from the plains in the Moab [region] to the top of Pisgah Peak on Nebo Mountain, across [the Jordan River] from Jericho. There Yahweh showed him all the land [that the Israelis would occupy]. He showed him the Gilead [region] as far north as Dan [city];
2 Naftali yote, nchi ya Efraimu na Manase, nchi yote ya Yuda mpaka bahari ya magharibi,
all [the land that the tribe of] Naphtali would occupy; all the land [that the tribes] of Ephraim and Manasseh [had occupied]; all the land [that the tribe of] Judah would occupy as far west as the Mediterranean sea;
3 Negebu na nchi yote kuanzia Bonde la Yeriko, Mji wa Mitende, hadi Soari.
the desert [area in the south part of Judah]; and the [Jordan] Valley that extends from Jericho [in the north] to Zoar [city in the south].
4 Kisha Bwana akamwambia, “Hii ndiyo nchi niliyomwahidi Abrahamu na Isaki na Yakobo kwa kiapo niliposema, ‘Nitawapa wazao wako.’ Nimekuruhusu uione kwa macho yako, lakini hutavuka kuingia.”
Then Yahweh said to him, “You have now seen this land that I solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have allowed you to see it [from a distance], but you will not go there.”
5 Naye Mose mtumishi wa Bwana akafa huko Moabu, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amesema.
So Moses, who [always] served Yahweh [faithfully], died there [on that mountain] in the Moab [region], which is what Yahweh said would happen.
6 Mungu akamzika huko Moabu, katika bonde mkabala na Beth-Peori, lakini hakuna ajuaye kaburi lake lilipo mpaka leo.
Yahweh buried Moses’ body in a valley in the Moab [region], opposite/near Beth-Peor [town], but no one to this day knows where Yahweh buried him.
7 Mose alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini alipofariki; hata hivyo nguvu ya macho yake haikufifia wala mwili wake haukudhoofika.
Moses was 120 years old when he died, but he was still very strong, and he could still see [MTY] very well.
8 Waisraeli wakaomboleza kwa ajili ya Mose kwenye tambarare za Moabu kwa siku thelathini, mpaka wakati wa kulia na kuomboleza ulipopita.
The Israeli people mourned for him in the plains of the Moab [region] for 30 days.
9 Basi Yoshua mwana wa Nuni alijazwa roho ya hekima kwa sababu Mose alikuwa ameweka mikono yake juu yake. Kwa hiyo Waisraeli wakamsikiliza na wakafanya yale ambayo Bwana alikuwa amemwagiza Mose.
God caused Joshua to be very wise, because Moses had put his hands on Joshua [to appoint him to be their new leader]. The Israeli people obeyed Joshua, and they obeyed all the commands that Yahweh had given to Moses to tell to the Israeli people.
10 Tangu wakati huo, katika Israeli hajainuka nabii mwingine kama Mose, ambaye Bwana alimjua uso kwa uso,
Since the time that Moses [lived], there has never been a prophet in Israel like him. Yahweh spoke to him face-to-face/directly.
11 aliyetenda ishara zote zile za miujiza na maajabu ambayo Bwana alimtuma kuyatenda huko Misri, yaani kwa Farao na maafisa wake wote na nchi yake yote.
No other prophet has performed all the kinds of [DOU] miracles that Yahweh sent Moses to perform in front of the king of Egypt, his officials, and all [HYP] the people of Egypt.
12 Kwa kuwa hakuna mtu yeyote aliyewahi kuonyesha nguvu nyingi ama kutenda matendo ya kutisha ambayo Mose aliwahi kuyafanya mbele ya Israeli yote.
No other prophet has been able to do all the great and terrifying things that Moses did while all the Israelis watched.
