Hesabu 34

1 BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,

Yahweh said to Moses/me,

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.

“Tell this to the Israeli people: You will soon enter Canaan land, and it will become yours. These will be the borders of the land:

3 Mwisho wa mpaka wa kusini utakuwa mwisho wa bahari ya chumvi kuelekea mashariki.

On the south you will receive part of the Zin Desert, near the border of the Edom [region]. On the east side, the border will start at the south 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.

It will extend to a little south of the Scorpion Pass, and extend [west] through [the] Zin [Desert] and south of Kadesh-Barnea. From there it will extend to Hazar Addar and from there to Azmon.

5 Kutoka huko, mpaka utageuka kutoka Azimoni kuelekea kijito cha Misri na kukifuata mpaka baharini.

From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.

6 Mpaka wa Magharibi utakuwa pwani ya bahari kuu. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenuwa Magharibi.

The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.

7 Mpaka wenu wa kaskazini utaanzia kwenye bahari kuu hadi Mlima Hori,

The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.

8 kisha kutoka Mlima Hori hadi Lebo Hamathi, kisha Zedadi.

From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.

9 Mpaka utaendelea hadi Zifroni na kuishia Hazari Enani. Huu ndio utakuwa mpaka wenu wa kaskazini.

From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.

10 Kisha mtaweka alama za mpaka wenu wa mashariki ambao utaanzia Hazari Enani kuelekea kusini Shefamu.

The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] 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.

From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.

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 border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”

13 Kisha Musa akawaamuru watu wa Israeli akasema, “Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtaipokes kwa kura, ambayo BWANA ameamuru kuwapa wale makabila tisa na nusu.

So Moses/I [told all that] to the Israeli people. Then he/I said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must throw (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.

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, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.

15 Wale makabila mawili na nusu wameshapata mgawo wao ng'ambo ya mto Yorodani upande wa mashariki, kuelekea kule linakotokea jua.”

They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”

16 BWANA akanena na Musa akasema,

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

17 “Haya ndiyo majinaya watu watakaoigawa ardhi kwa ajili ya urithi wao: Eliazari kuhani na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.

“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.

18 Mtachagua kiongozi mmoja toka kila kabila ili kuigawa ardhi kwa koo zao.

But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].

19 Haya ndiyo majina ya wanaume: Kutoka kabila la Yuda, Kalebu mwana wa Yefune.

“From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh’s son Caleb. From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud’s son Shemuel. From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon’s son Elidad. From the tribe of Dan appoint Jogli’s son Bukki. From the tribe of Manasseh appoint Ephod’s son Hanniel. From the tribe of Ephraim appoint Shiphtan’s son Kemuel. From the tribe of Zebulun appoint Parnach’s son Elizaphan. From the tribe of Issachar appoint Azzan’s son Paltiel. From the tribe of Asher appoint Shelomi’s son Ahihud. From the tribe of Naphtali appoint Ammihud’s son Pedahel.”

20 Kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Simeoni, Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi.

21 Kutoka kabila la Benjamini, Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni.

22 Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Dani, Buki mwana wa Jogili.

23 Kiongozi kutoka uzao wa Yusufu, kwenye kabila la Manase, Hannieli mwana wa Efodi.

24 Kiongozi kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Efraimu, Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani.

25 Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Zabuloni, Elizafani mwana wa Parinaki.

26 Kiongozi kutoka kwenye kabila la uzao wa Isakari, Palitieli mwana wa Azzani.

27 Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Asheri, Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi.

28 Kiongozi kutoka kabila la uzao wa Naftali, Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi.”

29 BWANA aliwaamuru wanaume hawa kuigawa nchi ya Kanaani na kuwapa kila kabla sehemu yao.

Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
