1 BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Waamuru watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mtakapoingia katika nchi ya Kanaani, nchi ambayo itakuwa mali yenu, nchi ya Kanaani na mipaka yake, mpaka wenu wa kusini utaendelea kutoka nyika ya Sini hadi mpaka wa Edomu.
“Give this command to the Israelites: ‘When you enter the country of Canaan, it will be allocated to you to own with the following boundaries:
3 Mwisho wa mpaka wa kusini utakuwa mwisho wa bahari ya chumvi kuelekea mashariki.
The southern extent of your country will be from the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern border will run east from the end of the Dead Sea,
4 Mpaka wenu utageukia kusini kutoka mlima kuelekea Akrabimu na kupitia nyika ya Sini. na kutokea huko utaelelkea kusini mwa Kadeshi Barinea na kuelekea Hazari Adari mpaka Azimoni.
cross south of Scorpion Pass, on to Zin, and reach its southern limit south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go to Hazar-addar and on to Azmon.
5 Kutoka huko, mpaka utageuka kutoka Azimoni kuelekea kijito cha Misri na kukifuata mpaka baharini.
There the boundary will turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 Mpaka wa Magharibi utakuwa pwani ya bahari kuu. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenuwa Magharibi.
Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be your boundary to the west.
7 Mpaka wenu wa kaskazini utaanzia kwenye bahari kuu hadi Mlima Hori,
Your northern border will run from the Mediterranean Sea straight to Mount Hor.
8 kisha kutoka Mlima Hori hadi Lebo Hamathi, kisha Zedadi.
From Mount Hor the boundary will go to Lebo-hamath, then on to Zedad,
9 Mpaka utaendelea hadi Zifroni na kuishia Hazari Enani. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini.
to Ziphron, ending at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary to the north.
10 Kisha mtaweka alama za mpaka wenu wa mashariki ambao utaanzia Hazari Enani kuelekea kusini Shefamu.
Your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham
11 Kisha mpaka wa kusini utaendelea kutoka Shefamu hadi Ribla, upande wa masharikia mwa Aini. Mpaka utaedelea upande huo wa mashariki hadi upande wa mashariki wa bahari ya Kinerethi.
Then the boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. It will pass down along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.
12 Kisha mpaka utaendelea kuelekea kusini hadi mto Yorodani na hadi bahari ya chumvi. Hii ndiyo itakuwa nchi yenu, kwa kuifuata mipaka yake yote inayozunguka.'”
Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan, ending at the Dead Sea. This is to be your land with its surrounding borders.’”
13 Kisha Musa akawaamuru watu wa Israeli akasema, “Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtaipokes kwa kura, ambayo BWANA ameamuru kuwapa wale makabila tisa na nusu.
Moses gave the order to the Israelites, “Allocate ownership of this land by lot. The Lord has commanded it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 Kabila ya uzao wa Reubeni, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na uzao wa kabila la Gadi, kwa kufuata jinsi walivyopewa urithi kwa jamaa ya kabila yao, na nusu ya Manase wamepata ardhi yao.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad, together with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their allocation.
15 Wale makabila mawili na nusu wameshapata mgawo wao ng'ambo ya mto Yorodani upande wa mashariki, kuelekea kule linakotokea jua.”
These two and a half tribes have received their allocation on the east side of the Jordan opposite Jericho.”
16 BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,
The Lord told Moses,
17 “Haya ndiyo majinaya watu watakaoigawa ardhi kwa ajili ya urithi wao: Eliazari kuhani na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
“These are the names of the men who will be in charge of allocating ownership of the land for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, son of Nun.
18 Mtachagua kiongozi mmoja toka kila kabila ili kuigawa ardhi kwa koo zao.
Have one leader from each tribe help in the distribution of the land.
