Numbers 27
1 And there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No'ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
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 Elazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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; but he was not among the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korach; but in his own sin he died, and sons he had not.
“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 Why should the name of our father be done away from the midst of his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us a possession among the brothers of our father.
Lwaki erinnya lya kitaffe mu kika linaabulamu olw’obutazaala mwana wabulenzi? Mutuwe omugabo mu baganda ba kitaffe.”
5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
Musa n’aleeta ensonga zaabwe awali Mukama Katonda.
6 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly: thou shalt indeed give them a possession as an inheritance among the brothers of their father; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
“Abawala ba Zerofekadi kye bagamba kituufu; bafunire omugabo ogw’obutaka awamu ne baganda ba kitaabwe, era n’omugabo gwa kitaabwe gubaweebwe.
8 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass unto 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, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his brothers.
Bw’ataabenga na mwana wabuwala, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda be.
10 And if he have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his father's brothers.
Bw’anaabanga talina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda ba kitaawe.
11 And if his father have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of justice, as the Lord hath 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 unto Moses, Go thou up unto this mount of 'Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka waggulu ku lusozi luno Abalimu olengere ensi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirayiri.
13 And when thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered.
Bw’onoomala okugiraba, naawe ojja kugenda abantu bo bonna gye baalaga, nga bwe kyali ne ku muganda wo Alooni,
14 Because ye rebelled against my order in the desert of Zin, at the quarreling of the congregation, to sanctify me through the waters before their eyes: these are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
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 spoke unto the Lord, saying,
Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti,
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Mukama Katonda w’emyoyo gy’abantu bonna, alonde omusajja okulabirira ekibiina kino,
17 Who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as a flock which have no shepherd.
afulumenga era ayingirenga mu maaso gaabwe, omuntu anaabafulumyanga era anaabayingizanga, abantu ba Mukama baleme okuba ng’endiga ezitaliiko musumba.”
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom there is a spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Twala Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omusajja alimu omwoyo, omusseeko omukono gwo.
19 And thou shalt cause him to stand before Elazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and thou shalt give him a charge before their eyes.
Muyimirize mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna, omukuutirire mu maaso gaabwe.
20 And thou shalt put some of thy greatness upon him; in order that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Mukwase ekitundu ky’obuyinza bwo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri batandike okumugondera.
21 And before Elazar the priest shall he stand, and he shall ask of him after the judgment of the Urim before the Lord: at his direction shall they go out, and at his direction shall they come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, 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 had commanded him; and he took Joshua, and caused him to stand before Elazar 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 upon him, and gave him a charge: as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Bw’atyo n’amussaako emikono gye, n’amukuutira, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
