Hesabu 34
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Waamuru Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itagawanywa kwenu kama urithi itakuwa na mipaka ifuatayo:
“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 “‘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,
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 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 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 mahali ambapo utapinda, na kuunganika na Kijito cha Misri na kumalizikia kwenye Bahari ya Kati.
From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 “‘Mpaka wenu wa magharibi utakuwa Bahari ya Kati. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa magharibi.
The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 “‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini, wekeni alama kuanzia Bahari ya Kati hadi mlima Hori,
The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
8 na kutoka mlima Hori hadi Pito la Hamathi. Kisha mpaka utaenda hadi Sedadi,
From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
9 kuendelea hadi Zifroni, na kuishia Hasar-Enani. Huu utakuwa mpaka wenu upande wa kaskazini.
From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
10 “‘Kwa mpaka wenu wa mashariki, wekeni alama kuanzia Hasar-Enani hadi Shefamu.
The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
11 Mpaka utaelekea kusini kuanzia Shefamu hadi Ribla upande wa mashariki wa Aini, na kuendelea kwenye miteremko mashariki mwa Bahari ya Kinerethi.
From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
12 Kisha mpaka utashuka kuelekea Mto Yordani na kuishia katika Bahari ya Chumvi. “‘Hii itakuwa nchi yenu, ikiwa na mipaka yake kila upande.’”
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 Mose akawaamuru Waisraeli: “Gawanyeni nchi hii kwa kura kama urithi. Bwana ameagiza kwamba itolewe kwa yale makabila tisa na nusu,
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 kwa sababu jamaa ya kabila la Reubeni, kabila la Gadi, na nusu ya kabila la Manase wamekwishapokea urithi wao.
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
15 Haya makabila mawili na nusu wamekwishapokea urithi wao upande wa mashariki wa Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko, kuelekea mawio ya jua.”
They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
16 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 “Haya ndiyo majina ya watu ambao watakusaidia kugawanya nchi kama urithi: Eleazari kuhani na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
18 Tena uteue kiongozi mmoja kutoka kila kabila kusaidia kuigawanya nchi.
But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
19 Haya ndiyo majina yao: “Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, kutoka kabila la Yuda;
“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 Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi, kutoka kabila la Simeoni;
21 Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni, kutoka kabila la Benyamini;
22 Buki mwana wa Yogli, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Dani;
23 Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Manase mwana wa Yosefu;
24 Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Efraimu mwana wa Yosefu;
25 Elisafani mwana wa Parnaki, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Zabuloni;
26 Paltieli mwana wa Azani, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Isakari;
27 Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Asheri;
28 Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi, kiongozi kutoka kabila la Naftali.”
29 Hawa ndio watu ambao Bwana aliamuru wagawanye urithi kwa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Kanaani.
Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
