Numbers 27
1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, 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.
Ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad nwa Hefa, nwa Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase bụ ndị si nʼagbụrụ Manase nwa Josef. Aha ndị inyom ndị a bụ: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tịaza. Ha bịara,
2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, guzo nʼihu Mosis, na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu niile na ọgbakọ Izrel niile kwuo sị,
3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
“Nna anyị Zelofehad nwụrụ nʼọzara ma ọ bụghị otu nʼime ndị sonyere Kora, bụ ndị ahụ zukọtara megide Onyenwe anyị. Ọ nwụrụ ọnwụ nʼihi mmehie nke ya. Ma otu ọ dị, ọ mụtaghị nwoke.
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."
Gịnị ga-eme a ga-eji hichapụ aha nna anyị site nʼagbụrụ ya nʼihi na ọ mụtaghị nwoke? Ọ bụ uche anyị na e kwesiri ikenye anyị oke nʼoge a na-enye ụmụnne nna anyị oke.”
5 Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
Ya mere, Mosis butere mkpa ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
6 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya,
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.
“Ihe ụmụ Zelofehad na-ekwu ziri ezi. Ị ghaghị ikenye ha oke nʼetiti ụmụnne nna ha, ma nyefeekwa ha oke ruru nna ha.
8 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
“Gwa ndị Izrel sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwoke, oke niile ruru ya ga-alara nwa ya nwanyị.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ mụtaghị nwa nwanyị, oke ruru ya ga-alara ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
A sịkwa na o nweghị ụmụnne ndị nwoke, mgbe ahụ oke ya ga-alara ụmụnne nna ya ndị nwoke.
11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.'"
Ọ bụrụkwa na o nweghị ndị nwoke bụ ụmụnne nna ya, mgbe ahụ ihe nketa ya ga-alara onye dịkarịrị ya nso nʼikwu ya, ka ọ bụrụ nke ya. Nke a bụ iwu dịrị ndị Izrel niile dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya Mosis nʼiwu.’”
12 Jehovah said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya: “Gaa rigoro nʼugwu Abarim site nʼebe ahụ lefee anya nʼofe mmiri Jọdan leruo ala ahụ nke m nyere ụmụ Izrel anya.
13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Mgbe i lechasịrị ya, ị ga-anwụ dịka nwanne gị Erọn nwụrụ.
14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
Nʼihi na unu nupuru isi nye okwu m nʼọzara Zin, mgbe ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel sesịrị m okwu. Unu abụọ nupuru isi nʼiwu m ido m nsọ nʼihu ha.” (Ndị a bụ mmiri Meriba Kadesh, nke dị nʼọzara Zin.)
15 Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
Mosis zara Onyenwe anyị sị ya,
16 "Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nwe mmụọ nke mmadụ niile, họpụta onyendu ga-elekọta ọgbakọ a.
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 Jehovah not be as sheep which have no shepherd."
Onye ga na-apụ na-abatakwa nʼihu ha, onye ga na-edu ha pụọ, duru ha batakwa, ka ndị Onyenwe anyị ghara ịdị ka atụrụ na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ.”
18 Jehovah said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Kpọrọ Joshua, nwa Nun, onye nwere mmụọ Chineke nʼime ya, bikwasị ya aka gị.
19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, nakwa nʼihu ọgbakọ niile, nyefee ya ọrụ nke ịbụ onyendu nʼihu ha.
20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Nyekwa ha ụfọdụ ikike gị, ka nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel nwee ike rubere ya isi.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: 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."
Ma ya onwe ya ga-eguzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, onye ga-ajụrụ ya ase site na mkpebi Urim nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ site nʼokwu ọnụ ya ka ha ga-apụ, site nʼokwu ọnụ ya ka ha ga-ana abata. Ma ya onwe ya, ma ndị Izrel niile, tinyekwara nzukọ niile.”
22 Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Ya mere, Mosis mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu. O duuru Joshua mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja na ọgbakọ niile.
23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Jehovah spoke by Moses.
Mosis bikwasịrị aka ya abụọ nʼisi Joshua, rara ya nyefee maka ije ozi ahụ niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
