Numbers 27
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Kenaka ana aakazi a Zelofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wamwamuna wa Manase, a mʼmabanja a Manase, mwana wa Yosefe anabwera. Mayina a ana aakaziwo anali awa: Mala, Nowa, Hogila, Milika ndi Tiriza. Iwo anakayima
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Mose, wansembe Eliezara, atsogoleri ndi anthu onse, ndipo anati,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
“Abambo athu anafera mʼchipululu koma sanali nawo mʼgulu la anthu otsatira Kora, omwe anasonkhana pamodzi kutsutsana ndi Yehova. Abambo athuwo anafa chifukwa cha tchimo lawo ndipo sanasiye ana aamuna.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he has no son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brothers of our father.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani dzina la abambo athu lasowa pakati pa fuko lawo, kodi popeza analibe mwana wamwamuna? Tipatseni cholowa chathu pakati pa abale a abambo athu.”
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Tsono Mose anabweretsa nkhani yawo pamaso pa Yehova
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
“Zimene ana aakazi a Zelofehadi akunena ndi zoona. Uyenera kuwapatsadi cholowa chawo pakati pa abale a abambo awo ndipo uwapatse cholowa cha abambo awowo.
8 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ngati munthu afa wosasiya mwana wamwamuna, muzipereka cholowa chake kwa mwana wake wamkazi.
9 And if he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Ngati alibe mwana wamkazi, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa abale ake.
10 And if he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Ngati alibe abale muzipereka cholowa chake kwa abale a abambo ake.
11 And if his father have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Ngati abambo ake analibe mʼbale, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa mnansi wake wa mʼbanja lake kuti chikhale chake. Ili likhale lamulo kwa Aisraeli, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.’”
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Get you up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Kwera phiri la Abarimu kuti ukaone dziko limene ndalipereka kwa Aisraeli.
13 And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
Ukakaliona udzamwalira ngati Aaroni mʼbale wako,
14 For you rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
chifukwa pamene anthu anawukira ku madzi a Meriba mʼchipululu cha Zini, inu nonse simunamvere lamulo londilemekeza Ine ngati Woyera pamaso pawo.” (Awa anali madzi a ku Meriba ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Zini).
15 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Mose anati kwa Yehova,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
“Ngati nʼkotheka Yehova, Mulungu wa mizimu ya anthu onse, sankhani munthu woti ayangʼanire gulu ili kuti
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
alitsogolere potuluka ndi polowa, kuti anthu a Yehova asakhale ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa.”
18 And the LORD said to Moses, Take you Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him;
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, munthu amene ali ndi mzimu wa utsogoleri, ndipo umusanjike dzanja lako.
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
Umuyimiritse pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse ndipo umupatse mphamvu zolamulira, anthuwo akuona.
20 And you shall put some of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Umupatse gawo lina la ulemerero wako kuti Aisraeli onse azimumvera.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
Ayime pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara, amene adzamudziwitse zimene Yehova akufuna pogwiritsa ntchito Urimu. Iye akalamula, Aisraeli onse azituluka ndipo akalamulanso, Aisraeliwo azibwereranso.”
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:
Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira. Anatenga Yoswa ndi kumuyimiritsa pamaso pa Eliezara wansembe ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse.
23 And he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Ndipo anamusanjika manja ndi kumupatsa mphamvu, monga Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa Mose.
