51
Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mtakapovuka mto wa Yordani na kuingia nchi ya Kanaani,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52
ndipo mtakapowafukuza wenyeji wote wa hiyo nchi mbele yenu, nanyi mtayaharibu mawe yao yote yenye kuchorwa sanamu, na kuziharibu sanamu zao zote za kusubu, kuvunja-vunja mahali pao pote palipoinuka;
you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.
53
nanyi mtaishika hiyo nchi kuimiliki na kuketi humo; kwa kuwa mimi nimewapa ninyi hiyo nchi ili mwimiliki.
You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54
Nanyi mtairithi nchi kwa kufanya kura, kama jamaa zenu zilivyo; hao walio wengi mtawapa urithi zaidi, na hao waliopunguka utawapa kama kupunguka kwao; mahali po pote kura itakapomwangukia mtu ye yote, mahali hapo ni pake; mtarithi kama kabila za baba zenu zilivyo.
And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
55
Lakini kama hamtaki kuwafukuza wenyeji wa nchi watoke mbele yenu; ndipo hao ambao mtakaowasaza watakuwa kama sindano machoni mwenu, na kama miiba ubavuni mwenu, nao watawasumbua katika hiyo nchi ambayo mwakaa.
But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.
56
Kisha itakuwa, kama nilivyoazimia kuwatenda wao, ndivyo nitakavyowatenda ninyi.
And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”
