The Death of Moses
1Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan, 2all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 3the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.”
5And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6He buried him34:6 Or He was buried in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. 8The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
9Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit34:9 Or Spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
10Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. 12For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
Kifo Cha Mose
134:1 Hes 32:3; 21:10; Kum 32:49, 52; Yos 19:40-48; Amu 18:28Kisha Mose akaupanda mlima Nebo kutoka tambarare za Moabu mpaka kilele cha Pisga, ngʼambo ya Yeriko. Huko Bwana akamwonyesha nchi yote: kutoka Gileadi mpaka Dani, 234:2 Kut 23:31; Kum 11:24; Hes 34:6; Yos 15:12Naftali yote, nchi ya Efraimu na Manase, nchi yote ya Yuda mpaka bahari ya magharibi,34:2 Yaani Bahari ya Mediterania. 334:3 Mwa 12:9; 13:10; Amu 1:16; 3:13; 2Nya 28:15Negebu na nchi yote kuanzia Bonde la Yeriko, Mji wa Mitende, hadi Soari. 434:4 Mwa 28:13; 12:7; Yos 21:43; Kum 3:23, 27Kisha Bwana akamwambia, “Hii ndiyo nchi niliyomwahidi Abrahamu na Isaki na Yakobo kwa kiapo niliposema, ‘Nitawapa wazao wako.’ Nimekuruhusu uione kwa macho yako, lakini hutavuka kuingia.”
534:5 Hos 12:7; Yos 1:1-2; Mwa 25:8Naye Mose mtumishi wa Bwana akafa huko Moabu, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amesema. 634:6 Kum 3:29; Yud 9Mungu akamzika huko Moabu, katika bonde mkabala na Beth-Peori, lakini hakuna ajuaye kaburi lake lilipo mpaka leo. 734:7 Kut 7:7; Yos 14:10; Mwa 27:1; 15:15; Kum 31:2Mose alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja na ishirini alipofariki; hata hivyo nguvu ya macho yake haikufifia wala mwili wake haukudhoofika. 834:8 Hes 21:11; 20:29; Mwa 37:34; 50:3; 10; 50:3; 2Sam 11:27; 1Sam 25:1; Isa 57:1; Mdo 8:2Waisraeli wakaomboleza kwa ajili ya Mose kwenye tambarare za Moabu kwa siku thelathini, mpaka wakati wa kulia na kuomboleza ulipopita.
934:9 Mwa 41:38; Kut 28:3; 31:3; Isa 11:2; 1Fal 9:12; Kum 31:14; Mdo 6:6; Dan 6:3; Kum 27:18; Hes 11:17; 27:18Basi Yoshua mwana wa Nuni alijazwa roho ya hekima kwa sababu Mose alikuwa ameweka mikono yake juu yake. Kwa hiyo Waisraeli wakamsikiliza na wakafanya yale ambayo Bwana alikuwa amemwagiza Mose.
1034:10 Mwa 20:7; Kum 18:15-18; 5:4; Kut 33:11; Hes 12:6-8Tangu wakati huo, katika Israeli hajainuka nabii mwingine kama Mose, ambaye Bwana alimjua uso kwa uso, 1134:11 Kum 4:34; 7:19; Kut 11:3aliyetenda ishara zote zile za miujiza na maajabu ambayo Bwana alimtuma kuyatenda huko Misri, yaani kwa Farao na maafisa wake wote na nchi yake yote. 1234:12 Ebr 3:1-6; Kum 4:34Kwa kuwa hakuna mtu yeyote aliyewahi kuonyesha nguvu nyingi ama kutenda matendo ya kutisha ambayo Mose aliwahi kuyafanya mbele ya Israeli yote.
