Nomery 34

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Mandidia ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha tonga any amin’ ny tany Kanana ianareo, dia izao no tany izay ho azonareo ho lova, dia ny tany Kanana araka izay fari-taniny.

“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:

3 Ary ny lafiny atsimo amin’ ny taninareo dia hatramin’ ny efitra Zina, izay mifanolotra amin’ i Edoma. Ary ny fari-taninareo atsimo dia hatramin’ ny faran’ ny Ranomasin-tsira any atsinanana,

Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

4 dia miolaka eo atsimon’ ny fiakarana Akrabima, dia mandroso hatrany Zina, dia mahazo any atsimon’ i Kadesibarnea, dia mahazo an’ i Hazar-adara ka mandroso hatrany Azmona,

cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,

5 ary miolaka hatrany Azmona ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta, ka dia mihatra amin’ ny ranomasina.

where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

6 Ary ny amin’ ny fari-tany andrefana, dia indro ny Ranomasina Lehibe sy ny amorony, ka hatreo no ho fari-taninareo andrefana.

Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

7 Ary izao no ho fari-taninareo avaratra: hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe dia aoka ny tendrombohitra Hora no hotandrifinareo;

Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

8 ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Hora dia aoka ny lalana mankany Hamata no hotandrifinareo, ary aoka ny fari-tany hahazo an’ i Zedada,

and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,

9 dia hahazo an’ i Zifrona, ka dia hihatra an’ i Hazar-enana; izany no ho faritaninareo avaratra.

continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

10 Ary ny ho fari-taninareo atsinanana dia ampifanitsio amin’ i Hazar-enana ka hatrany Sefama,

And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11 dia hidina hatrany Sefama ka hatrany Ribla any atsinanan’ i Aina, dia mbola hidina ihany koa ka hipaka amin’ ny Ranomasin’ i Kinereta atsinanana,

then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.

12 dia hidina ihany indray hatrany Jordana, ka dia hihatra amin’ ny Ranomasin-tsira. Izany no ho taninareo araka ny fari-taniny manodidina.

Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”

13 Ary Mosesy nandidy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Izany no tany izay hozarainareo araka ny filokana, dia izay andidian’ i Jehovah homena ny firenena sivy sy sasany;

So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14 fa ny firenena taranak’ i Robena araka ny fianakaviany sy ny firenena taranak’ i Gada araka ny fianakaviany dia efa nandray ny zara-taniny, ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase koa dia efa nandray ny zara-taniny;

For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.

15 dia ny firenena roa sy sasany samy efa nandray ny zara-taniny atỳ an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana, hitsin’ i Jeriko, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro.

These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

16 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

17 Izao no anaran’ ny lehilahy izay hizara ny tany ho anareo: Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona.

“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18 Ary loholona iray avy amin’ ny isam-pirenena koa no halainareo hizara ny tany.

Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

19 Ary izao no anaran’ ireo lehilahy ireo: ny avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Joda dia Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone;

These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

20 ary ny avy amin’ ny firenena taranak’ i Simeona dia Semoela, zanak’ i Amihoda;

Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

21 ary ny avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina dia Elidada, zanak’ i Kislona;

Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

22 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Dana dia Boky, zanak’ i Jogly;

Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 ary ny avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa: ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Manase dia Haniela, zanak’ i Efoda;

Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

24 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Efraima dia Kemoela, zanak’ i Siftana;

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

25 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Zebolona dia Elizafana, zanak’ i Parnaka;

Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

26 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ Isakara dia Paltiela, zanak’ i Azana;

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Asera dia Ahihoda, zanak’ i Selomy;

Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

28 ary ny lohan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Naftaly dia Pedahela, zanak’ i Amihoda.

and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

29 Ireo no nodidian’ i Jehovah hizara ny tany Kanana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
