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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he has no son? Give unto us therefore 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 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Enti Mose de wɔn asɛm too Awurade anim.
6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Awurade buaa Mose sɛ,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto 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 And you shall speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then all of you shall cause his inheritance to pass unto 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 have no daughter, then all of you shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni ɔbabaa nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ no kɔ ne nuammarima nkyɛn.
10 And if he have no brethren, then all of you shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni nuammarima a, ɛkɔ ne wɔfanom nkyɛn.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then all of you shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD 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 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get you up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto 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 you have seen it, you also shall be gathered unto your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
Sɛ wohwɛ wie a, wobɛwu sɛdeɛ wo nua Aaron wuiɛ no,
14 For all of 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.
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 And Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
“Ao Awurade, Onyankopɔn a woyɛ nnipa nyinaa honhom ti ansa na worebɛfa me no, mesrɛ, yi obi si mʼanan
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.
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 unto Moses, Take you Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon 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 give 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 you shall put some of your honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Fa wo tumi ma no wɔ badwam sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛtie no.
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.
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 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, 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 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Mose de ne nsa guu no so, de nʼadwuma hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
