Numbers 27
1 Then drew near 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.
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 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,
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 among the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he 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 should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren 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 brought their cause before the LORD.
Tsono Mose anabweretsa nkhani yawo pamaso pa Yehova
6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto 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 thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ngati munthu afa wosasiya mwana wamwamuna, muzipereka cholowa chake kwa mwana wake wamkazi.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
Ngati alibe mwana wamkazi, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa abale ake.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
Ngati alibe abale muzipereka cholowa chake kwa abale a abambo ake.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye 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.
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 the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Kwera phiri la Abarimu kuti ukaone dziko limene ndalipereka kwa Aisraeli.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered:
Ukakaliona udzamwalira ngati Aaroni mʼbale wako,
14 because ye 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.)
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 spake unto the LORD, saying,
Mose anati kwa Yehova,
16 Let the LORD, the 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 which may go out before them, and which may come 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.
alitsogolere potuluka ndi polowa, kuti anthu a Yehova asakhale ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa.”
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, munthu amene ali ndi mzimu wa utsogoleri, ndipo umusanjike dzanja lako.
19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
Umuyimiritse pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse ndipo umupatse mphamvu zolamulira, anthuwo akuona.
20 And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Umupatse gawo lina la ulemerero wako kuti Aisraeli onse azimumvera.
21 And 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.
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 did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him 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 he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spake by the hand of Moses.
Ndipo anamusanjika manja ndi kumupatsa mphamvu, monga Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa Mose.
