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,
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 na Naftali yote, na nchi ya Efraimu na Manase, na 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 na Negevi, na uwanda wa bonde la Yericho, mji wa mitende, mpaka umbali wa 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 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.”
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 Basi Musa mtumishi wa Yahwe, alikufa pale katika nchi ya Moabu, kama neno la Yahwe lilivyoahidi.
So Moses, who [always] served Yahweh [faithfully], died there [on that mountain] in the Moab [region], which is what Yahweh said would happen.
6 Yahwe alimzika katika bonde katika nchi ya Moabu mkabala na Beth-peori, lakini hakuna ajuaye kaburi lake lilipo hadi leo hii.
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 Musa alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini alipokufa; macho yake hayakufifia, wala nguvu asili zake hazikupungua.
Moses was 120 years old when he died, but he was still very strong, and he could still see [MTY] very well.
8 Watu wa Israeli walimuomboleza Musa katika nyanda za Moabu kwa siku thelathini, hapo ndipo siku za maombolezo ya Musa zilipotimia.
The Israeli people mourned for him in the plains of the Moab [region] for 30 days.
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.
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 hapo hakujatokea nabii katika Israeli kama Musa, ambaye Yahwe 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 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.
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 Hakujawahi kuwa na nabii yeyote kama yeye kwa mambo yote makubwa, ya kutisha ambayo Musa aliyafanya machoni pa Israeli yote.
No other prophet has been able to do all the great and terrifying things that Moses did while all the Israelis watched.
