Numbers 27
1 One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Lè sa a, te gen nan branch fanmi Manase a senk fi, Mala, Noa, Ogla, Milka ak Tiza. Yo tout te pitit fi Zelochad. Zelochad sa a te pitit gason Efè. Efè te pitit gason Galarad, ki te pitit gason Maki, ki li menm te pitit gason Manase, ki te pitit gason Jozèf.
2 They came to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and stood in front of Eleazar, Moses/me, the tribal leaders, and many [EUP] other Israeli people.
Medam yo vini, yo kanpe devan Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, devan chèf fanmi yo ak devan tout pèp la, devan pòt Tant Randevou a, epi yo di:
3 They said, “Our father died [during the time that we were] in the desert, and he did not have any sons. But he was not among those who supported Korah, who rebelled against Yahweh. He died just because he was a sinner [like everyone else].
-Papa nou mouri nan dezè a san li pa kite okenn pitit gason. Li pa t' fè pati bann moun Kore yo ki te revòlte kont Seyè a. Se poutèt pwòp peche pa l' yo kifè li mouri san li pa t' gen tan gen pitit gason.
4 (Why should the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons.) [RHQ] So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!”
Se pa paske papa nou pa t' gen pitit gason kifè pou non li disparèt nan fanmi an. Ban nou yon pòsyon tè tou nan mitan fanmi papa nou.
5 So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
Moyiz al pale koze a avèk Seyè a.
6 And Yahweh replied,
Seyè a di l' konsa;
7 “What the daughters of Zelophehad are requesting is right. You must give them some land, just as you are giving to their father’s relatives. Give to each of them some of the land that would have been given to their brothers [if they had any].
-Pitit fi Zelochad yo gen rezon. W'a ba yo yon pòsyon tè ki va rete pou yo nan mitan fanmi papa yo. W'a ba yo pòsyon tè ki te pou papa yo a.
8 “Also tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a man who has no sons dies, give the things that his sons would have inherited to his daughters.
Apre sa, w'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo konsa: Si yon moun mouri san li pa kite pitit gason, n'a renmèt pòsyon tè pa l' la bay pitit fi li yo.
9 If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
Si li pa gen pitit fi, n'a renmèt pòsyon tè pa l' la bay frè l' yo.
10 If the man had no brothers, give to his father’s brothers the things that his sons or daughters or brothers would have inherited.
Si li pa gen frè, n'a renmèt tè a bay frè papa l' yo.
11 If the man’s father has no brothers, give to his closest relative the things that the others would have inherited.’ That will be a rule for the Israeli people, because I am giving this as a command to you, Moses, [to tell them].”
Si papa l' pa t' gen frè, n'a renmèt li bay fanmi pi pre l' la. Epi tè a va rete pou li. Se pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv regleman sa a tankou yon lwa, jan mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te bay Moyiz lòd la.
12 One day, Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Climb to the top of the Abarim Mountains [east of the Jordan River]. Then look out over the land that I am giving to the Israeli people.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Moute sou mòn Abarim. Voye je ou gade peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
13 After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] brother Aaron did.
Lè w'a fin wè li, ou pral mouri, tankou Arawon, frè ou la.
14 The reason [that you will die and not enter that land] is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, [I told you to speak to the rock to cause] water to flow out of it. [But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it], you did not show the people my holy power.”
paske nou tou de nou pa t' fè sa m' te di nou fè a nan dezè Zin lan. Lè pèp la t'ap chache m' kont bò sous dlo Meriba yo, nou te refize kite m' fè yo wè pouvwa mwen nan zafè dlo a. (Meriba se sous dlo bò Kadès nan dezè Zin lan.)
15 Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
Lè sa a, Moyiz pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa:
16 “Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
-O Seyè, Bondye ki bay tout moun lavi, tanpri, chwazi yon nonm ki ka mennen pèp la,
17 Appoint someone who will lead your people when they go to fight a battle, so that they will not [just wander around] like sheep that do not have a shepherd.” [SIM]
yon nonm ki ka mache alatèt yo nan tout antre soti yo, pou pèp ou a, pèp Seyè a, pa rete tankou yon bann mouton san gadò pou okipe yo.
18 Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
Seyè a reponn Moyiz: -Pran Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan. Se yon nonm ki gen lespri Bondye k'ap travay nan kè l'. W'a mete men ou sou tèt li,
19 Cause him to stand in front of Eleazar the priest, as all the people are watching, and commission/appoint him to be the new leader of the Israeli people.
epi w'a fè l' kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ak devan tout pèp la. Epi la, devan yo tout, w'a ba li tout lòd ou gen pou ba li.
20 Give to him some of the authority that you now have, in order that all the Israeli people will [know that they must] obey him.
W'a separe avè l' pouvwa otorite ou genyen an, pou tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ka obeyi l'.
21 When you all need me to guide you, Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar. Then by (casting lots/throwing marked stones on the ground) Eleazar will find out what they should do.”
L'a toujou kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ki va sèvi ak Ourim yo pou chache konnen sa mwen vle yo fè. Se konsa, Eleaza va dirije Jozye ak tout pèp la nan tout antre soti yo.
22 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a. Li pran Jozye, li fè l' kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ak tout pèp la.
23 Moses/I laid his/my hands on him and commissioned/appointed him to do the work that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell him to do.
Li mete men l' sou tèt li, epi li ba li lòd li yo, jan Seyè a te di l' la.
