9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.

9 Urithi wa Wasimeoni ulitolewa kutoka fungu la Yuda, kwa kuwa fungu la Yuda lilikuwa kubwa kuliko walivyohitaji. Hivyo kabila la Simeoni lilipewa urithi wao ndani ya eneo la Yuda.

49 Walipomaliza kugawanya nchi katika migawo kulingana na sehemu zao zilizowaangukia, Waisraeli wakampa Yoshua mwana wa Nuni urithi katikati yao,

50 as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

50 kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa ameamuru. Walimpa mji alioutaka, ambao ni Timnath-Sera ulio katika nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu. Naye akajenga mji, akakaa huko.

51 These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.

51 Haya ndiyo maeneo ambayo kuhani Eleazari, Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na viongozi wa koo za kabila za Israeli waliyoyagawanya kwa kura huko Shilo mbele za Bwana penye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania. Hivyo wakamaliza kuigawanya nchi.
