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.
Abawala ba Zerofekadi mutabani wa Keferi, mutabani wa Gireyaadi, mutabani wa Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, baali ba mu kika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu. Amannya g’abawala abo nga ge gano: Maala, ne Noowa, ne Kogula, ne Mirika ne Tiruza.
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,
Lwali lumu, ne bajja okumpi n’omulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’abakulembeze n’ag’ekibiina kyonna, ne bagamba nti,
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.
“Kitaffe yafiira mu ddungu. Teyali omu ku bajeemu abagoberezi ba Koola abaajeemera Mukama; naye ye yafa bufi lwa bibi bye, naye teyalekawo baana babulenzi.
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.
Lwaki erinnya lya kitaffe mu kika linaabulamu olw’obutazaala mwana wabulenzi? Mutuwe omugabo mu baganda ba kitaffe.”
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Musa n’aleeta ensonga zaabwe awali Mukama Katonda.
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
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.
“Abawala ba Zerofekadi kye bagamba kituufu; bafunire omugabo ogw’obutaka awamu ne baganda ba kitaabwe, era n’omugabo gwa kitaabwe gubaweebwe.
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.
“Era gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Omusajja bw’anaafanga nga taleseewo mwana wabulenzi, kale omugabo gwe ogw’obusika bwe gunaaweebwanga omwana we omuwala.
9 And if he shall have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
Bw’ataabenga na mwana wabuwala, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda be.
10 And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brethren.
Bw’anaabanga talina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda ba kitaawe.
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.
Kitaawe bw’aba nga teyalina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga owooluganda asinga okuba ow’okumpi mu kika kye, oyo y’anaagutwalanga. Eryo linaabanga tteeka erinaakwatibwanga abaana ba Isirayiri, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.’”
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Ascend this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka waggulu ku lusozi luno Abalimu olengere ensi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirayiri.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Bw’onoomala okugiraba, naawe ojja kugenda abantu bo bonna gye baalaga, nga bwe kyali ne ku muganda wo Alooni,
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.
kubanga mwembi mwajeemera ekigambo kyange, abantu bwe baajagalala mu ddungu lya Zini ne mutampeesa kitiibwa ng’omutukuvu mu maaso gaabwe.” Ago ge gaali amazzi ag’e Meriba mu Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini.
15 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation.
“Mukama Katonda w’emyoyo gy’abantu bonna, alonde omusajja okulabirira ekibiina kino,
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.
afulumenga era ayingirenga mu maaso gaabwe, omuntu anaabafulumyanga era anaabayingizanga, abantu ba Mukama baleme okuba ng’endiga ezitaliiko musumba.”
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;
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Twala Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omusajja alimu omwoyo, omusseeko omukono gwo.
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: and give him a charge in their sight.
Muyimirize mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna, omukuutirire mu maaso gaabwe.
20 And thou shalt put [some] of thy honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Mukwase ekitundu ky’obuyinza bwo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri batandike okumugondera.
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.
Anajjanga n’ayimirira mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona anaamutegeezanga ebinaabanga bisaliddwawo ng’akozesa Ulimu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, bw’anaalagiranga banaafulumanga, era bw’anaalagiranga banaayingiranga.”
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:
Awo Musa n’akola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira. Yatwala Yoswa n’amuyimiriza mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna.
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Bw’atyo n’amussaako emikono gye, n’amukuutira, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
