< Yoshua 13 >
1 Sasa Yoshua alikuwa mzee wakati Yahweh alipomwambia, “Umekuwa mzee, lakini bado kuna nchi kubwa ya kuteka.
And Joshua [was] old and very advanced in years; and the Lord said to Joshua, You are advanced in years, and there is much land left to inherit.
2 Nchi iliyosalia ndio hii: mikoa yote ya Wafilisti, na mikoa ile ya Wageshuri,
And this [is] the land that is left: the borders of the Phylistines, the Gesirite, and the Chananite,
3 (tangu Shihori, iliyoko mashariki mwa Misri, na upande wa kaskazini kuelekea mpaka wa Ekroni, inayofikiriwa kuwa ni mali ya Wakanaani; wafalme watano wa Wafilisti, wale wafalme wa Gaza, Ashidodi, Ashikeloni, Gathi na Ekroni - miliki ya Waavi.
from the wilderness before Egypt, as far as the borders of Accaron on the left of the Chananites [the land] is reckoned to the five principalities of the Phylistines, to the inhabitant of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon, and of Geth, and of Accaron, and to the Evite;
4 Katika upande wa kusini, kulisalia nchi yote ya Wakanaani, na Meara ambayo ni miliki ya Wasidoni, hadi Afeki, hata mpaka wa Waamori;
from Thaeman even to all the land of Chanaan before Gaza, and the Sidonians as far as Aphec, as far as the borders of the Amorites.
5 nchi ya Wagebali, Lebanoni kuelekea upande wa mapambazuko ya jua, kutoka Baali- Gadi chini ya Mlima Hermoni mpaka Lebo Hamathi.
And all the land of Galiath of the Phylistines, and all Libanus eastward from Galgal, under the mountain Aermon as far as the entering in of Emath;
6 Pia, wenyeji wote wa nchi ya milima kutoka Lebanoni hadi Misrefothi - Maimu, pamoja na watu wa Sidoni. Nitawafukuza mbele ya jeshi la Israeli. Uwe na uhakika wa kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi, kama nilivyokuagiza.
every one that inhabits the hill country from Libanus as far as Masereth Memphomaim. All the Sidonians, I will destroy them from before Israel; but do you give them by inheritance to Israel, as I charged you.
7 Igawanye nchi hii kama urithi kwa makabila tisa na kwa nusu ya kabila la Manase.
And now divide this land by lot to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasse.
8 Pamoja na nusu nyingine ya kabila la Manase, Wareubeni na Wagadi wamekwisha kupokea urithi wao ambao Musa aliwapa katika upande wa mashariki wa Yordani,
From Jordan to the great sea westward you shall give it [them]: the great sea shall be the boundary. [But] to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to Gad Moses gave [an inheritance] beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the Lord gave [it] to them eastward,
9 kutoka Aroeri, iliyo katika ukingo wa bonde la mto Arnoni (kujumuisha na mji ambao uko katikati ya bonde), kwa nyanda zote za Medeba hadi Diboni;
from Aroer, which is on the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city in the midst of the valley, and all Misor from Maedaban.
10 miji yote ya Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alitawala katika Heshiboni, hata mpaka wa Waamori,
All the cities of Seon king of the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon to the coasts of the children of Ammon;
11 Gileadi na mkoa wa Wageshuri na Maakathi, mlima wote wa Hermoni, Bashani yote mpaka Saleka;
and the region of Galaad, and the borders of the Gesirites and the Machatites, the whole mount of Aermon, and all the land of Basan to Acha.
12 ufalme wote wa Ogu katika Bashani, aliyetawala katika Ashitarothi na Edrei - hawa ni wale waliosalia katika Refaimu - ambao Musa aliwapiga na kuwafukuzia mbali.
All the kingdom of Og in the region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and in Edrain: he was left of the giants; and Moses struck him, and destroyed him.
13 Lakini watu wa Israeli hawakuwafukuza Wageshuri wala Wamakathi. Badala yake, Wageshuri na Wamakathi wanaishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli hadi leo.
But the children of Israel destroyed not the Gesirite and the Machatite and the Chananite; and the king of the Gesiri and the Machatite lived among the children of Israel until this day.
14 Kabila la Lawi pekee halikupewa urithi na Musa. Urithi wao ni sadaka za Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, zilizotolewa kwa moto, kama Mungu alivyomwagiza Musa.
Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, he [is] their inheritance, as the Lord said to them; and this [is] the division which Moses made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho.
15 Musa aliwapa urithi kabila la Rubeni, ukoo kwa ukoo.
And Moses gave the land to the tribe of Ruben according to their families.
16 Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Aroeri, juu ya ukingo wa bonde la Mto Arnoni, na mji ulio katikati ya bonde, na nyanda zote za Medeba.
And their borders were from Aroer, which is opposite the brook of Arnon, and [theirs is] the city that is in the valley of Arnon; and all Misor,
17 Wareubeni walipata pia Heshiboni, na miji yake yote zilizo katika uwanda, Diboni, na Bamathi Baali, na Bethi Baalimeoni,
to Esebon, and all the cities in Misor, and Daebon, and Baemon-Baal, and the house of Meelboth;
18 na Yahazi, na Kedemothi, na Mefaathi,
and Basan, and Bakedmoth, and Maephaad,
19 na Kiriathaimu, na Sibuma, na Zerethishahari juu ya kilima cha bonde.
and Kariathaim, and Sebama, and Serada, and Sion in mount Enab;
20 Wareubeni walipata pia Bethi Peori, miteremko ya Pisiga, Bethi Yeshimothi,
and Baethphogor, and Asedoth Phasga, and Baetthasinoth,
21 miji yote ya uwanda, na ufalme wote wa Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alikuwa ametawala katika Heshiboni, ambaye Musa alikuwa amemshinda pamoja na viongozi wa Midiani, Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri na Reba, wana wa mfalme wa Sihoni, ambao walikuwa wameishi katika nchi.
and all the cities of Misor, and all the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, whom Moses struck, even him and the princes of Madian, and Evi, and Roboc, and Sur, and Ur, and Robe prince of the spoils of Sion, and the inhabitants of Sion.
22 Pia, watu wa Israeli walimwua kwa upanga Baalam mwana wa Beori, ambaye alifanya mambo ya uaguzi, miongoni mwa wale waliowaua.
And Balaam the son of Baeor the prophet they killed in the battle.
23 Mpaka wa kabila la Rubeni ni Mto Yordani; huu ndio mpaka wao. Huu ulikuwa ni urithi wa kabila la Rubeni, uliotolewa kwa kila ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.
And the borders of Ruben were—[even] Jordan [was the] boundary; this [is] the inheritance of the children of Ruben according to their families, [these were] their cities and their villages.
24 Hiki ndicho Musa alilipa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo:
And Moses gave inheritance to the sons of Gad according to their families.
25 Himaya yao ilikuwa Yazeri, miji yote ya Gileadi na nusu ya nchi ya Waamoni, hadi Aroeri, iliyo mashariki mwa Raba,
And their borders were Jazer, all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon to Araba, which is before Arad.
26 kutoka Heshiboni hadi Ramathi - Mizipe na Betonimu, kutoka Mahanaimu mpaka himaya ya Debiri.
And from Esebon to Araboth by Massepha, and Botanim, and Maan to the borders of Daebon,
27 Katika bonde, Musa aliwapa Bethi -Haramu, Bethi - Nimra, Sukothi, na Zafoni, ufalme uliobakia wa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshiboni, pamoja na Yordani kama mpaka, katika sehemu za chini za mwisho wa Bahari ya Kinerethi, upande wa mashariki ng'ambo ya Yordani.
and Enadom, and Othargai, and Baenthanabra, and Soccotha, and Saphan, and the rest of the kingdom of Sean king of Esebon: and Jordan shall be the boundary as far as part of the sea of Chenereth beyond Jordan eastward.
28 Huu ni urithi wa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.
This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families and according to their cities: according to their families they will turn their backs before their enemies, because their cities and their villages were according to their families.
29 Musa aliwapa urithi nusu ya kabila la Manase. Urithi uligawiwa kwa nusu ya kabila la watu wa Manase kutokana na kabila zao.
And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasse according to their families.
30 Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Mahanaimu, Bashani yote, ufalme wote wa mfalme Ogu wa Bashani, na miji yote ya Yairi, iliyo katika Bashani, miji sitini;
And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan, sixty cities:
31 nusu ya Gileadi, na Ashitarothi na Edrei (miji ya kifalme ya Ogu katika Bashani). Miji hii iligawanywa kwa ukoo wa Makiri mwana wa Manase -nusu ya watu wa Makiri, walipewa kwa kila familia zao.
and the half of Galaad, and in Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities of Og in the land of Basan, [Moses gave] to the sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, even to the half-tribe sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, according to their families.
32 Huu ndio urithi ambao Musa aliowagawia katika nyanda za Moabu, ng'ambo ya Yordani mashariki mwa Yeriko.
These [are] they whom Moses caused to inherit beyond Jordan in Araboth Moab, beyond Jordan by Jericho eastward.
33 Musa hakulipa urithi kabila la Lawi. kwa kuwa Yahweh, Mungu wa israeli, ni urithi wao, kama vile alivyowaambia.
