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,
Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. There Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead as far as 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 Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the western sea,
3 na Negevi, na uwanda wa bonde la Yericho, mji wa mitende, mpaka umbali wa Soari.
and the Negev, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as 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.”
Yahweh said to him, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have allowed you to look at it with your eyes, but you will not go over there.”
5 Basi Musa mtumishi wa Yahwe, alikufa pale katika nchi ya Moabu, kama neno la Yahwe lilivyoahidi.
So Moses the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab, as the word of Yahweh promised.
6 Yahwe alimzika katika bonde katika nchi ya Moabu mkabala na Beth-peori, lakini hakuna ajuaye kaburi lake lilipo hadi leo hii.
Yahweh buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no one knows where his grave is to this day.
7 Musa alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini alipokufa; macho yake hayakufifia, wala nguvu asili zake hazikupungua.
Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 Watu wa Israeli walimuomboleza Musa katika nyanda za Moabu kwa siku thelathini, hapo ndipo siku za maombolezo ya Musa zilipotimia.
The people of Israel mourned for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days, and then the days of mourning for Moses were finished.
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.
Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. The people of Israel listened to him and did what Yahweh had commanded Moses.
10 Tangu hapo hakujatokea nabii katika Israeli kama Musa, ambaye Yahwe alimjua uso kwa uso.
There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh 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.
There has never been any prophet like him in all the signs and wonders that Yahweh 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.
There has never been any prophet like him in all the great, fearsome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
