Idisu 27
1 Yousefe egefe da Ma: na: se. Ma: na: se egefe da Ma: ige. Ma: ige egefe da Gilia: de. Gilia: de egefe da Hife amola Hife egefe da Siloufiha: de. Siloufiha: de ea idiwilali ilia dio da Mala, Nowa, Hogola, Miliga amola Desa.
The daughters of Zelophehad came to present their case. Their father Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, and was from the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They came
2 Ilia da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu holeiga asili, Mousese amola gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa, amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu amola Isala: ili dunu huluane, ilia midadi lelu, amane sia: i,
and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and all the Israelites at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They said,
3 “Ninia ada e da dunu mano mae lalelegele, wadela: i hafoga: i sogega bogoi dagoi. Goula amola ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da Hina Godema lelelaloba, ninia ada da ilima hame gilisi. E da hi wadela: i hou hamoiba: le fawane bogoi.
“Our father died in the desert, but he wasn't one of Korah's followers who joined together to rebel against the Lord. No, he died from his own sins, and he didn't have any sons.
4 Ninia ada ea dio da Isala: ili soge ganodini abuliba: le bu hame ba: mu, bai e da egefe hame. Ninia ada ea fi dunu defele, soge ninima ima!”
Why should our family name be lost simply because he didn't have a son? Give us land to own alongside our uncles.”
5 Mousese da ilia adole ba: su amo Hina Godema olelei.
Moses took their case before the Lord.
6 Amola, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i,
The Lord gave him this answer,
7 “Defea! Siloufiha: de ea idiwilali ilia adole ba: su da moloi! Edalalia fi amo ganodini, soge ilima ima! Ea lamu liligi amo ilima imunu da defea.
“What the daughters of Zelophehad are saying is right. You really must give them land to own alongside their uncles—give to them what would have been allocated to their father.
8 Amola, Isala: ili dunuma amane olelema. Dunu da dunu mano mae lalelegele bogosea, idiwi da eda soge lama: ne sia: ma.
In addition, tell the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and doesn't have a no son, give his property to his daughter.
9 Be e da idiwi hame galea, ea yolali da ea liligi lamu.
If he doesn't have a daughter, give his property to his brothers.
10 E da yolali hame galea, ea eda ea yolali da ea liligi lamu.
If he doesn't have brothers, give his property to his father's brothers.
11 Be e da yolali amola eda yolali hame galea, ea gadenenedafa fi dunu da amo lale gagumu. Isala: ili dunu da amo hou sema hamoi dagoi noga: le dawa: ma: ne sia: ma. Na, Hina Gode, da dima hamoma: ne sia: i dagoi, amo defele hamoma.”
If his father doesn't have brothers, give his property his family's next of kin so that they can own it. This is a legal regulation for the Israelites, given as an order by the Lord to Moses.’”
12 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Dia A: balime Goumiba: le heda: le, soge amo Na da Isala: ili dunuma iaha, amo huluane ba: ma!
The Lord told Moses, “Go up into the Abarim mountains so you can see the land that I have given the Israelites.
13 Di da amo ba: lalu, dia ola Elane defele, di da bogomu.
After you have seen it, you will also join your forefathers in death, just as your brother Aaron did,
14 Bai ali da Na Sini hafoga: i soge ganodini hamoma: ne sia: i amoma odoga: i. Isala: ili dunu huluane da Meliba sogega Nama egane sia: noba, di da Na hadigi gasa bagade hou ili dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne hame olelei.” (Meliba da Ga: idesie gu hano Sini hafoga: i soge ganodini, amogawi diala)
because when the Israelites complained in the Desert of Zin, you both rebelled against my instructions to show my holiness before them in regard to providing water.” (These were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
15 Mousese da amane sia: ne gadoi,
Then Moses pleaded with the Lord,
16 “Hina Gode! Di da esalusu huluanedafa ea bai gala! Dunu amo da Isala: ili dunu noga: le ouligimusa: dawa: , amo ilegema!
“May the Lord, the God who gives life to all living beings, choose a man to lead the Israelites
17 Dunu amo da gegesu ganodini ilia bisili masunu dawa: , amo ilegema. Dia fidafa da sibi amo sibi ouligisu dunu hame, amo agoane ba: sa: besa: le, ouligisu dunu ilegema!”
who will tell them what to do and show them where to go, so that the people of the Lord won't be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Yosiua (Nane egefe) hawa: hamosu dawa: dunu, amo lale, dia lobo amo ea dialuma da: iya ligisima.
The Lord told Moses, “Call for Joshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and place your hands on him.
19 E da gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa amola Isala: ili fi dunu gilisisu amo ilia midadi leloma: ne sia: ma. Amasea ili huluane ba: ma: ne, e da dia sogebi lai dagoi amane wele sisia: ma.
Make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites, and dedicate him while they watch.
20 Isala: ili fi dunu da ea sia: nabalu, noga: le hamoma: ne, dia gasa bagade ouligisu hou mogili ema ima.
Hand over some of your authority to him so that all the Israelites will obey him.
21 E da gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa ea fidisu hahawane dawa: mu. Amola Elia: isa da Iulimi amola Damimi amo ba: beba: le, Na hanai dawa: mu. Amane hamobeba: le, Elia: isa da hou huluane amo ganodini, Yosiua amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane ilima olelemu.”
When he needs instructions he is to go before Eleazar the priest who will ask the Lord on his behalf and find out the decision using the Urim. Joshua will give orders to all the Israelites concerning everything they are to do.”
22 Mousese da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi dagoi. Ea sia: beba: le, Yosiua da Elia: isa amola Isala: ili fi huluane ilia midadi lelu.
Moses followed the Lord's instructions. He had Joshua come and stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites.
23 Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele, Mousese da ea lobo Yosiua ea dialuma da: iya ligisili, Yosiua da ea sogebi lai dagoi amane wele sisia: i.
Moses placed his hands on Joshua and dedicated him, just as the Lord had told him to do.
