1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
Waagize wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mtakapoingia nchi ya Kanaani, (hii ndiyo nchi itakayowaangukia kuwa urithi, maana, hiyo nchi ya Kanaani kama mipaka yake ilivyo,)
3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
ndipo upande wenu wa kusini utakuwa tangu bara ya Sini kupita kando ya Edomu, na mpaka wenu wa kusini utakuwa tangu mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi kuelekea mashariki;
4 and your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
kisha mpaka wenu utageuka kwenda upande wa kusini wa kukwelea kwake Akrabimu, kisha kupita kwendelea Sini; na kutokea kwake kutakuwa kuelekea upande wa kusini wa Kadesh-barnea; kisha utaendelea mpaka Hasar-adari, na kufikilia Azmoni;
5 and the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
kisha mpaka utageuka kutoka Azmoni kwendelea kijito cha Misri, na kutokea kwake kutakuwa hapo baharini.
6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
Kisha mpaka wenu wa upande wa magharibi mtakuwa na bahari kubwa na mpaka wake; hii ndiyo mpaka wenu upande wa magharibi.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
Kisha mpaka wenu wa upande wa kaskazini utakuwa ni huu; kutoka bahari kubwa mtajiandikia mlima wa Hori;
8 from mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
na kutoka mlima wa Hori mtaandika mpaka kuingilia kwake Hamathi; na kutokea kwake mpaka kutakuwa hapo Sedada;
9 and the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
tena mpaka utatokea hata Zifroni, na kutokea kwake kutakuwa hapo Hasarenani; huo ndio mpaka wenu wa upande wa kaskazini.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
Kisha mtaandika mpaka wenu wa upande wa mashariki kutoka Hasarenani hata Shefamu;
11 and the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
kisha mpaka utatelemka kutoka Shefamu mpaka Ribla, upande wa mashariki wa Aini; kisha mpaka utatelemka na kufikilia upande wa bahari ya Kinerethi upande wa mashariki;
12 and the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
kisha mpaka utatelemkia Yordani, na kutokea kwake kutakuwa hapo katika Bahari ya Chumvi; hii ndiyo nchi yenu kama mipaka yake ilivyo kuizunguka pande zote.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
Kisha Musa akawaagiza wana wa Israeli, akisema, Hii ndiyo nchi mtakayoirithi kwa kupiga kura, ambayo Bwana ameagiza wapewe watu wa zile kabila kenda, na nusu ya kabila;
14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance ; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
kwa kuwa kabila ya wana wa Reubeni kwa nyumba za baba zao, na kabila ya wana wa Gadi kwa nyumba za baba zao, wamekwisha pata, na hiyo nusu ya kabila ya Manase wamekwisha pata urithi wao;
15 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
hizo kabila mbili na nusu ya kabila wamekwisha pata urithi wao huko ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, hapo Yeriko, upande wa mashariki, kuelekea maawio ya jua.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Haya ndiyo majina ya watu watakaowagawanyia nchi iwe urithi wenu; Eleazari kuhani, na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
Kisha mtamtwaa mkuu mmoja wa kila kabila, ili waigawanye nchi iwe urithi wenu.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Na majina ya watu hao ni haya; katika kabila ya Yuda, ni Kalebu mwana wa Yefune.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Simeoni, Shemueli mwana wa Amihudi.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Katika kabila ya Benyamini, ni Elidadi mwana wa Kisloni.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Dani, mkuu, Buki mwana wa Yogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Katika wana wa Yusufu; katika kabila ya wana wa Manase, mkuu, Hanieli mwana wa Efodi;
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
na katika kabila ya wana wa Efraimu, mkuu, Kemueli mwana wa Shiftani.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Zabuloni, mkuu, Elisafani mwana wa Parnaki.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Isakari, mkuu, Paltieli mwana wa Azani.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Asheri, mkuu, Ahihudi mwana wa Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Na katika kabila ya wana wa Naftali, mkuu, Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi.
29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Hao ndio Bwana aliowaagiza wawagawanyie urithi wana wa Israeli katika nchi ya Kanaani.
