< Numbers 27 >
1 Then came 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.
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 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 in the company of them that assembled themselves against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and 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 done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give to us [therefore] a possession among the brethren 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 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Ya mere, Mosis butere mkpa ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak [what is] 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 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 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man shall die, and have no son, then ye 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 And if he shall have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ mụtaghị nwa nwanyị, oke ruru ya ga-alara ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke.
10 And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brethren.
A sịkwa na o nweghị ụmụnne ndị nwoke, mgbe ahụ oke ya ga-alara ụmụnne nna ya ndị nwoke.
11 And if his father shall have no brethren, then ye shall give inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD 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 And the LORD said to Moses, Ascend this mount 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 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Mgbe i lechasịrị ya, ị ga-anwụ dịka nwanne gị Erọn nwụrụ.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that [is] the water of Meribah in 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 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Mosis zara Onyenwe anyị sị ya,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set 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 go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not 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 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thy hand upon 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 give him a charge in their sight.
Mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, nakwa nʼihu ọgbakọ niile, nyefee ya ọrụ nke ịbụ onyendu nʼihu ha.
20 And thou shalt put [some] of thy honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Nyekwa ha ụfọdụ ikike gị, ka nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel nwee ike rubere ya isi.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of 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.
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 And Moses did as the LORD 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 upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Mosis bikwasịrị aka ya abụọ nʼisi Joshua, rara ya nyefee maka ije ozi ahụ niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
