Numbers 27
1 And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near—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 stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, 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 midst of the congregation who were gathered together against YHWH in the congregation of Korah, but he died for 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4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son? Give a possession to us in the midst of 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 brings their cause near before YHWH.
Tsono Mose anabweretsa nkhani yawo pamaso pa Yehova
6 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye,
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are speaking correctly; you certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and have caused the inheritance of their father to pass over 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 speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a man dies and has no son, then you have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ngati munthu afa wosasiya mwana wamwamuna, muzipereka cholowa chake kwa mwana wake wamkazi.
9 and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
Ngati alibe mwana wamkazi, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa abale ake.
10 and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
Ngati alibe abale muzipereka cholowa chake kwa abale a abambo ake.
11 and if his father has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his relation who is near to him of his family, and he has possessed it”; and it has been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as YHWH has 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Go up to this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Kwera phiri la Abarimu kuti ukaone dziko limene ndalipereka kwa Aisraeli.
13 and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
Ukakaliona udzamwalira ngati Aaroni mʼbale wako,
14 because you provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation—to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes”; they [are] the waters 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 speaks to YHWH, saying,
Mose anati kwa Yehova,
16 “YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Ngati nʼkotheka Yehova, Mulungu wa mizimu ya anthu onse, sankhani munthu woti ayangʼanire gulu ili kuti
17 who goes out before them, and who comes in before them, and who takes them out, and who brings them in, and the congregation of YHWH is not as sheep which have no shepherd.”
alitsogolere potuluka ndi polowa, kuti anthu a Yehova asakhale ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa.”
18 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun to yourself, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and you have laid 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 have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
Umuyimiritse pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse ndipo umupatse mphamvu zolamulira, anthuwo akuona.
20 and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
Umupatse gawo lina la ulemerero wako kuti Aisraeli onse azimumvera.
21 And he stands before Eleazar the priest, and he has inquired before YHWH for him by the judgment of the Lights; at his word they go out, and at his word they come in, he and all the sons 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 does as YHWH has commanded him, and takes Joshua and causes him to stand 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 lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
Ndipo anamusanjika manja ndi kumupatsa mphamvu, monga Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa Mose.
