Numbers 27
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
Ɛda koro bi, Hefer babarima Selofehad mmammaa a wɔn edin ne Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka ne Tirsa baa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano sɛ wɔde adesrɛ bi rebɛto Mose, ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne mmusua panin ne afoforɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no anim.
2 And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
Na mmaa no yɛ Yosef babarima Manase abusuafoɔ fa bi. Na wɔn ase firi Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima no fie. Na Manase babarima Gilead yɛ wɔn nana nkansowa ɛnna ne babarima Hefer nso yɛ wɔn nana ɛnna wɔn babarima Selofehad yɛ wɔn agya.
3 Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛn agya wuu ɛserɛ so nanso na ɔnka wɔn a wɔne Kora yɛɛ dɔm tiaa Awurade a enti ɛmaa wɔwuwuiɛ no ho. Ɔno ankasa bɔne enti na ɔwuiɛ.
4 Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.
Adɛn enti na ɛsiane sɛ yɛn agya anwo ɔbabarima enti ne din ayera? Yɛgye di sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma yɛn agyapadeɛ a yɛn agya nuammarimanom anya no bi.”
5 Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
Enti Mose de wɔn asɛm too Awurade anim.
6 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade buaa Mose sɛ,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.
“Asɛm a Selofehad mmammaa no ka no yɛ nokorɛ. Ma wɔn ne wɔn agya nuanom no asase. Fa agyapadeɛ a sɛ wɔn agya no te ase a anka ɔbɛnya no ma wɔn.
8 Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.
“Deɛ ɛdi hɔ bio ne sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ ɛyɛ mo mmara sɛ, sɛ obi wu na ɔnni mmammarima a wɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ kɔ ne mmammaa hɔ enti, monyɛ no saa.
9 And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni ɔbabaa nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ no kɔ ne nuammarima nkyɛn.
10 And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni nuammarima a, ɛkɔ ne wɔfanom nkyɛn.
11 And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
Na sɛ ɔnni wɔn mu biara bi a, ɛkɔ ne busuani bi a ɔbɛn no nkyɛn. Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ di saa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no so.”
12 Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.
Ɛda bi, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kɔ bepɔ a ɛwɔ Abarim mmepɔ no so na to wʼani fa asubɔnten a ɛda hɔ no so ma ɛnkɔsi asase a mede maa Israelfoɔ no so.
13 And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Sɛ wohwɛ wie a, wobɛwu sɛdeɛ wo nua Aaron wuiɛ no,
14 For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.
ɛfiri sɛ, wosɔre tiaa me mmara wɔ Sin ɛserɛ so hɔ. Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ no sɔre tiaa me no, woamma wɔanhunu me kronkronyɛ wɔ nsuo no ho.” Na ɔretwe nʼadwene aba Meriba nsuo “Akoeɛ” a ɛwɔ Kades a ɛwɔ Sin ɛserɛ so no so.
15 Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
16 Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,
“Ao Awurade, Onyankopɔn a woyɛ nnipa nyinaa honhom ti ansa na worebɛfa me no, mesrɛ, yi obi si mʼanan
17 Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.
a ɔde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade nnipa bɛnya odwanhwɛfoɔ a ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
18 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,
Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔfrɛ Nun babarima Yosua a ɔwɔ Honhom no wɔ ne mu no,
19 And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.
na fa no kɔ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa nkyɛn, na nnipa no nyinaa rehwɛ mo no, fa nnipa no animdie so tumi hyɛ ne nsa.
20 And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.
Fa wo tumi ma no wɔ badwam sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛtie no.
21 And he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.
Sɛ wɔhia akwankyerɛ a ɛfiri Awurade hɔ a, Yosua bɛgyina ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa anim, na ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa abɔ ntonto kronkron de abisa Awurade apɛdeɛ. Saa ɛkwan yi so na Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no bɛfa so ahwehwɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ.”
22 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
Enti, Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ɔde Yosua kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne nnipa no nyinaa.
23 Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
Mose de ne nsa guu no so, de nʼadwuma hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
