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.
Na rĩrĩ, airĩtu acio a Zelofehadi mũrũ wa Heferi mũrũ wa Gileadi, mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase maarĩ a mbarĩ cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu. Marĩĩtwa ma airĩtu acio maarĩ Mahala, na Noa, na Hogila, na Milika, na Tiriza. Nĩmathiire, magĩkuhĩrĩria
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,
itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, makĩrũgama mbere ya Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya atongoria, o na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, makiuga atĩrĩ,
3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
“Ithe witũ aakuĩrĩire werũ-inĩ. Ndaarĩ ũmwe wa arũmĩrĩri a Kora, arĩa manyiitanire mokĩrĩre Jehova, no aakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene na ndaarĩ na aanake.
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."
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩa awa rĩniinwo mbarĩ-inĩ yao, nĩ ũndũ atĩ ndaarĩ na mwanake? Tũhei igai hamwe na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe witũ.”
5 Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtwarĩra Jehova ũhoro ũcio wao,
6 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
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.
“Ũguo airĩtu a Zelofehadi maroiga nĩ kĩhooto. Ti-itherũ nĩ wega ũmaheanĩrie igai rĩao na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe wao, o narĩo igai rĩa ithe wao ũmahe.
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.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ angĩkua na ndatige mwana wa kahĩĩ, mwarĩ nĩaheo igai rĩake.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na mũirĩtu-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina igai rĩake.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina na ithe igai rĩake.
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 the LORD commanded Moses.'"
Angĩkorwo ithe ndaarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao ũrĩa marĩ a igai rĩake, nĩguo rĩtuĩke rĩake. Ũndũ ũcio ũgũtuĩka watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa.’”
12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wambate kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ, kũu rũgongo rwa Abarimu, wĩrorere bũrũri ũrĩa heete andũ a Isiraeli.
13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Warĩkia kũwona, we nĩũgũkua o ta ũrĩa Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa aakuire, na ũcookanĩrĩrio na andũ anyu,
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.)
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩanemeire hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Werũ wa Zini, wee na Harũni inyuĩ eerĩ mũtiathĩkĩire watho wakwa, nĩmwagire kũndĩĩithia nĩguo muonanie atĩ ndĩ mũtheru mbere ya maitho mao.” (Maaĩ macio nĩ marĩa ma Meriba Kadeshi, Werũ-inĩ wa Zini.)
15 Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ,
16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Jehova-Ngai wa maroho ma andũ othe, nĩagĩthuure mũndũ atuĩke mũrori wa kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ,
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 not be as sheep which have no shepherd."
atwaranage nakĩo gĩkiumagara na gĩkĩinũka, ũrĩa ũrĩgĩtongoragia gĩgĩthiĩ na gĩgĩcooka, nĩguo kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova gĩtigatuĩke ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.”
18 The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho thĩinĩ wake, na ũmũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku.
19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Mũrũgamie mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe ũmũtue mũtongoria wao hau mbere yao.
20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Ũmũhe ũhoti ũmwe waku, nĩgeetha kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩmwathĩkagĩre.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the 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."
Nake arũgamage mbere ya Eleazaru ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩmũtuĩragĩria ũhoro na ũndũ wa kũũria Urimu mbere ya Jehova. Rĩrĩa aathana, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara, ningĩ aathana rĩngĩ makainũka.”
22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũguo Jehova aamwathĩte. Akĩoya Joshua, na akĩmũrũgamia mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o na mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
Ningĩ akĩmũigĩrĩra moko make na akĩmũtua mũtongoria wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
