Hesabu 34

1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Waamuru Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itagawanywa kwenu kama urithi itakuwa na mipaka ifuatayo:

“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 “‘Upande wenu wa kusini utajumuisha sehemu ya Jangwa la Sini kufuata mpaka wa Edomu. Upande wa mashariki mpaka wenu wa kusini utaanzia mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi,

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 katiza kusini mwa Pito la Akrabimu, endelea mpaka Sini na kwenda kusini ya Kadesh-Barnea. Kisha mpaka huo utaenda hadi Hasar-Adari hadi Azmoni,

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 mahali ambapo utapinda, na kuunganika na Kijito cha Misri na kumalizikia kwenye Bahari ya Kati.

And its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.

6 “‘Mpaka wenu wa magharibi utakuwa Bahari ya Kati. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa magharibi.

Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.

7 “‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini, wekeni alama kuanzia Bahari ya Kati hadi mlima Hori,

Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.

8 na kutoka mlima Hori hadi Pito la Hamathi. Kisha mpaka utaenda hadi Sedadi,

From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of Zedad.

9 kuendelea hadi Zifroni, na kuishia Hasar-Enani. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa kaskazini.

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 “‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa mashariki, wekeni alama kuanzia Hasar-Enani hadi Shefamu.

From there, its limits shall be measured, facing the east side, from the village of Enan as far as Shepham.

11 Mpaka utaelekea kusini kuanzia Shefamu hadi Ribla upande wa mashariki wa Aini, na kuendelea kwenye miteremko mashariki mwa Bahari ya Kinerethi.

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 Kisha mpaka utashuka kuelekea Mto Yordani na kuishia katika Bahari ya Chumvi. “‘Hii itakuwa nchi yenu, ikiwa na mipaka yake kila upande.’”

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 Mose akawaamuru Waisraeli: “Gawanyeni nchi hii kwa kura kama urithi. Bwana ameagiza kwamba itolewe kwa yale makabila tisa na nusu,

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 kwa sababu jamaa ya kabila la Reubeni, kabila la Gadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase wamekwishapokea urithi wao.

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 Haya makabila mawili na nusu wamekwishapokea urithi wao upande wa mashariki wa Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko, kuelekea mawio ya jua.”

that is, two and a half tribes, have received their portion across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, toward the eastern side.”

16 Bwana akamwambia Mose,

And the Lord said to Moses:

17 “Haya ndiyo majina ya watu ambao watakusaidia kugawanya nchi kama urithi: Eleazari kuhani na Yoshua mwana 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 Tena uteue kiongozi mmoja kutoka kila kabila kusaidia kuigawanya nchi.

and one leader from each tribe,

19 Haya ndiyo majina yao: “Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, kutoka kabila la Yuda;

whose names are these: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

20 Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi, kutoka kabila la Simeoni;

from the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;

21 Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni, kutoka kabila la Benyamini;

from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

22 Buki mwana wa Yogli, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Dani;

from the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;

23 Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Manase mwana wa Yosefu;

of the sons of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod;

24 Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Efraimu mwana wa Yosefu;

from the tribe of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

25 Elisafani mwana wa Parnaki, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Zabuloni;

from the tribe of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”

29 Hawa ndio watu ambao Bwana aliamuru wagawanye urithi kwa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Kanaani.

These are the ones that the Lord has ordered to divide the land of Canaan to the sons of Israel.
