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;
Abawala ba Zerofekadi mutabani wa Keferi, mutabani wa Gireyaadi, mutabani wa Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, baali ba mu kika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu. Amannya g’abawala abo nga ge gano: Maala, ne Noowa, ne Kogula, ne Mirika ne Tiruza.
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,
Lwali lumu, ne bajja okumpi n’omulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’abakulembeze n’ag’ekibiina kyonna, ne bagamba nti,
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.
“Kitaffe yafiira mu ddungu. Teyali omu ku bajeemu abagoberezi ba Koola abaajeemera Mukama; naye ye yafa bufi lwa bibi bye, naye teyalekawo baana babulenzi.
4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
Lwaki erinnya lya kitaffe mu kika linaabulamu olw’obutazaala mwana wabulenzi? Mutuwe omugabo mu baganda ba kitaffe.”
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Musa n’aleeta ensonga zaabwe awali Mukama Katonda.
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.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
7 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,
“Abawala ba Zerofekadi kye bagamba kituufu; bafunire omugabo ogw’obutaka awamu ne baganda ba kitaabwe, era n’omugabo gwa kitaabwe gubaweebwe.
8 If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
“Era gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Omusajja bw’anaafanga nga taleseewo mwana wabulenzi, kale omugabo gwe ogw’obusika bwe gunaaweebwanga omwana we omuwala.
9 And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.
Bw’ataabenga na mwana wabuwala, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda be.
10 And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
Bw’anaabanga talina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda ba kitaawe.
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.
Kitaawe bw’aba nga teyalina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga owooluganda asinga okuba ow’okumpi mu kika kye, oyo y’anaagutwalanga. Eryo linaabanga tteeka erinaakwatibwanga abaana ba Isirayiri, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira 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.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka waggulu ku lusozi luno Abalimu olengere ensi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirayiri.
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:
Bw’onoomala okugiraba, naawe ojja kugenda abantu bo bonna gye baalaga, nga bwe kyali ne ku muganda wo Alooni,
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.
kubanga mwembi mwajeemera ekigambo kyange, abantu bwe baajagalala mu ddungu lya Zini ne mutampeesa kitiibwa ng’omutukuvu mu maaso gaabwe.” Ago ge gaali amazzi ag’e Meriba mu Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini.
15 And Moses said to the Lord,
Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti,
16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,
“Mukama Katonda w’emyoyo gy’abantu bonna, alonde omusajja okulabirira ekibiina kino,
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.
afulumenga era ayingirenga mu maaso gaabwe, omuntu anaabafulumyanga era anaabayingizanga, abantu ba Mukama baleme okuba ng’endiga ezitaliiko musumba.”
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.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Twala Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omusajja alimu omwoyo, omusseeko omukono gwo.
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.
Muyimirize mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna, omukuutirire mu maaso gaabwe.
20 And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to him.
Mukwase ekitundu ky’obuyinza bwo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri batandike okumugondera.
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.
Anajjanga n’ayimirira mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona anaamutegeezanga ebinaabanga bisaliddwawo ng’akozesa Ulimu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, bw’anaalagiranga banaafulumanga, era bw’anaalagiranga banaayingiranga.”
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.
Awo Musa n’akola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira. Yatwala Yoswa n’amuyimiriza mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna.
23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
Bw’atyo n’amussaako emikono gye, n’amukuutira, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
