< Torati 34 >

1 Musa aliondoka kutoka nyanda za Moabu mpaka mlima wa Nebo, hadi kilele cha Pisga, kilicho mkabala na Yericho. Huko Yahwe alimwonyesha nchi yote ya Gileadi kutoka umbali wa Dani,
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mount of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is before Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the land [from] Gil'ad unto Dan,
2 na Naftali yote, na nchi ya Efraimu na Manase, na nchi yote ya Yuda, mpaka bahari ya magharibi,
And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Menasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the western sea.
3 na Negevi, na uwanda wa bonde la Yericho, mji wa mitende, mpaka umbali wa Soari.
And the south, and the plain, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar.
4 Yahwe alimwambia, “Hii ni nchi niliyoapa kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isaka, na kwa Yakobo, na kusema, “Nitawapatia uzao wako.” Nimekuruhusu uitazame kwa macho yako, lakini hautakwenda kule.”
And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: I have let thee see it with thy eyes, but thither shalt thou not go over.
5 Basi Musa mtumishi wa Yahwe, alikufa pale katika nchi ya Moabu, kama neno la Yahwe lilivyoahidi.
And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the order of the Lord.
6 Yahwe alimzika katika bonde katika nchi ya Moabu mkabala na Beth-peori, lakini hakuna ajuaye kaburi lake lilipo hadi leo hii.
And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 Musa alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini alipokufa; macho yake hayakufifia, wala nguvu asili zake hazikupungua.
And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dimmed, and his natural force had not abated.
8 Watu wa Israeli walimuomboleza Musa katika nyanda za Moabu kwa siku thelathini, hapo ndipo siku za maombolezo ya Musa zilipotimia.
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and then were ended the days of weeping and mourning for Moses.
9 Yoshua mwana wa Nuni alikuwa amejawa na roho ya hekima, kwa maana Musa alimwekea mkono juu yake. Watu wa Israeli walimsikiliza na kufanya yale ambayo Yahwe alimuamuru Musa.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 Tangu hapo hakujatokea nabii katika Israeli kama Musa, ambaye Yahwe alimjua uso kwa uso.
And there arose not a prophet since then in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11 Hakujawahi kuwa na nabii yeyote kama yeye kwa ishara na miujiza ambayo Yahwe alimtuma kufanya katika nchi ya Misri, kwa Farao, na kwa watumishi wake, na kwa nchi yake yote.
In respect to all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord had sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 Hakujawahi kuwa na nabii yeyote kama yeye kwa mambo yote makubwa, ya kutisha ambayo Musa aliyafanya machoni pa Israeli yote.
And in respect to all that mighty hand, and in all the great terrific deeds which Moses displayed before the eyes of all Israel.
