53 “The land shall be divided to these, as their possessions, according to the number of their names.

Ile ardhi itagawanywa kati ya wanaume hawa kama urithi wao kwa kufuata idadi ya majina yao.

54 To the greater number you shall give a greater portion, and to the lesser number, a lesser portion. To each one, just as they have now been counted, a possession shall be delivered.

Kwa zile koo kubwa utawagawia urithi mkubwa, na kwa koo ndogo ndogo utawagawia urithi kidogo. Kwa kila familia utawapa urithi kufuata idadi ya wanaume waliohesabiwa.

55 Yet only in so far as the land is divided by lot to a tribe and to families.

Lakini ardhi itagawiwa kwa kupigiwa kura. Watairithi nchi kama itakavyogawiwa kwa kufuata koo za mababu.

56 Whatever the lot will happen to be, it shall be accepted, either by the greater, or by the lesser.

Urithi huu utagiwiwa kufuata koo kubwa na ndogo, watagawiwa kwa kufuata kura zitakavyokuwa.

Waume walioheabaiwa miionigoni mwao walikuwa elfu ishirini na tatu, hawa nia wale wa umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Lakini hawakuhesabiwa kati ya wazawa wa Israeli kwa sababu hawakupewa urithi miongoni mwa wana wa Israeli.

63 This is the number of the sons of Israel, who were enrolled by Moses and by Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.

Hawa nadio wale walihesabiwa na Musa na Eliazari kuhani. Waliwahesabu watu wa Israeli katika uwanda wa Moabu karibu na Yorodani kule Yeriko.

64 Among these, not one of them was numbered before, by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.

Lakini miongoni mwa hawa hapakuwa na mwanamume aliyehasabiwa na Musa na Haruni kuhani wakati wana wa uzao wa Israeli walipohesabiwa katika jangwa la Sinai.

65 For the Lord had foretold that all would die in the wilderness. And not one of them remained, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Kwa BWANA alikuwa amesema kuwa kwa hakika watu hao wote wangefia jangwani. Hapakuwa na mtu aliyebaki miongoni mwao, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
