Numbers 27
1 And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;
Na rĩrĩ, airĩtu acio a Zelofehadi mũrũ wa Heferi mũrũ wa Gileadi, mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase maarĩ a mbarĩ cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu. Marĩĩtwa ma airĩtu acio maarĩ Mahala, na Noa, na Hogila, na Milika, na Tiriza. Nĩmathiire, magĩkuhĩrĩria
2 and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, makĩrũgama mbere ya Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya atongoria, o na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, makiuga atĩrĩ,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.
“Ithe witũ aakuĩrĩire werũ-inĩ. Ndaarĩ ũmwe wa arũmĩrĩri a Kora, arĩa manyiitanire mokĩrĩre Jehova, no aakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene na ndaarĩ na aanake.
4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩa awa rĩniinwo mbarĩ-inĩ yao, nĩ ũndũ atĩ ndaarĩ na mwanake? Tũhei igai hamwe na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe witũ.”
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtwarĩra Jehova ũhoro ũcio wao,
6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and you shall assign their father's inheritance to them.
nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
7 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,
“Ũguo airĩtu a Zelofehadi maroiga nĩ kĩhooto. Ti-itherũ nĩ wega ũmaheanĩrie igai rĩao na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe wao, o narĩo igai rĩa ithe wao ũmahe.
8 If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ angĩkua na ndatige mwana wa kahĩĩ, mwarĩ nĩaheo igai rĩake.
9 And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na mũirĩtu-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina igai rĩake.
10 And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina na ithe igai rĩake.
11 And if there be no brethren of his father, you shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgement, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Angĩkorwo ithe ndaarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao ũrĩa marĩ a igai rĩake, nĩguo rĩtuĩke rĩake. Ũndũ ũcio ũgũtuĩka watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa.’”
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wambate kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ, kũu rũgongo rwa Abarimu, wĩrorere bũrũri ũrĩa heete andũ a Isiraeli.
13 And you shall see it, and you also shall be added to your people, as Aaron your brother was added [to them] in mount Or:
Warĩkia kũwona, we nĩũgũkua o ta ũrĩa Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa aakuire, na ũcookanĩrĩrio na andũ anyu,
14 because you transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; you sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩanemeire hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Werũ wa Zini, wee na Harũni inyuĩ eerĩ mũtiathĩkĩire watho wakwa, nĩmwagire kũndĩĩithia nĩguo muonanie atĩ ndĩ mũtheru mbere ya maitho mao.” (Maaĩ macio nĩ marĩa ma Meriba Kadeshi, Werũ-inĩ wa Zini.)
15 And Moses said to the Lord,
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ,
16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,
“Jehova-Ngai wa maroho ma andũ othe, nĩagĩthuure mũndũ atuĩke mũrori wa kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ,
17 who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.
atwaranage nakĩo gĩkiumagara na gĩkĩinũka, ũrĩa ũrĩgĩtongoragia gĩgĩthiĩ na gĩgĩcooka, nĩguo kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova gĩtigatuĩke ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.”
18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to yourself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and you shall lay your hands upon him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho thĩinĩ wake, na ũmũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku.
19 And you shall set him before Eleazar the priest, and you shall give him a charge before all the congregation, and you shall give a charge concerning him before them.
Mũrũgamie mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe ũmũtue mũtongoria wao hau mbere yao.
20 And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to him.
Ũmũhe ũhoti ũmwe waku, nĩgeetha kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩmwathĩkagĩre.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgement of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.
Nake arũgamage mbere ya Eleazaru ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩmũtuĩragĩria ũhoro na ũndũ wa kũũria Urimu mbere ya Jehova. Rĩrĩa aathana, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara, ningĩ aathana rĩngĩ makainũka.”
22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũguo Jehova aamwathĩte. Akĩoya Joshua, na akĩmũrũgamia mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o na mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
Ningĩ akĩmũigĩrĩra moko make na akĩmũtua mũtongoria wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
