Musa akapanda kutoka uwanda wa Moabu mpaka mlima Nebo, hata kilele cha Pisga kukabili Yeriko. Bwana akamwonyesha nchi yote ya Gileadi hata Dani;
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan,
2
na Naftali yote, na nchi ya Efraimu na Manase, na nchi yote ya Yuda, mpaka bahari ya magharibi;
all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,
3
na Negebu, na uwanja wa bonde la Yeriko, mji wa mitende, hata mpaka Soari.
the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.
4
Bwana akamwambia, Hii ndiyo nchi niliyowaapia Ibrahimu, na Isaka, na Yakobo, nikisema, Nitawapa wazao wako. Basi nimekuonyesha kwa macho yako, lakini hutavuka huko.
And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5
Basi Musa, mtumishi wa Bwana, akafa huko, katika nchi ya Moabu, kwa neno la Bwana.
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.
6
Akamzika bondeni, katika nchi ya Moabu, kukabili Beth-peori; lakini hapana mtu ajuaye kaburi lake hata leo.
And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
7
Musa alikuwa mtu wa miaka mia na ishirini alipokufa; jicho lake halikupofuka, wala nguvu za mwili wake hazikupunguka.
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished.
8
Wana wa Israeli wakamwombolezea Musa katika uwanda wa Moabu siku thelathini; basi siku za maombolezo ya matanga ya Musa zikaisha.
The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
9
Na Yoshua, mwana wa Nuni, alikuwa amejaa roho ya hekima; maana Musa alikuwa amemwekea mikono yake juu yake; wana wa Israeli wakamsikiliza, wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Musa.
Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10
Wala hajainuka tena katika Israeli nabii kama Musa, ambaye Bwana alimjua uso kwa uso;
Since that time, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face—
11
katika ishara zote na maajabu yote, ambayo Bwana alimtuma kuyatenda katika nchi ya Misri, kwa Farao, na kwa watumishi wake wote, na kwa nchi yake yote;
no prophet who did all the signs and wonders that the LORD sent Moses to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his officials and all his land,
12
na katika ule mkono wa nguvu wote, tena katika ule utisho mkuu wote, alioutenda Musa machoni pa Israeli wote. </p>
and no prophet who performed all the mighty acts of power and awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
