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.
Ɛda koro bi, Hefer babarima Selofehad mmammaa a wɔn edin ne Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka ne Tirsa baa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano sɛ wɔde adesrɛ bi rebɛto Mose, ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne mmusua panin ne afoforɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no anim.
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,
Na mmaa no yɛ Yosef babarima Manase abusuafoɔ fa bi. Na wɔn ase firi Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima no fie. Na Manase babarima Gilead yɛ wɔn nana nkansowa ɛnna ne babarima Hefer nso yɛ wɔn nana ɛnna wɔn babarima Selofehad yɛ wɔn agya.
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.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛn agya wuu ɛserɛ so nanso na ɔnka wɔn a wɔne Kora yɛɛ dɔm tiaa Awurade a enti ɛmaa wɔwuwuiɛ no ho. Ɔno ankasa bɔne enti na ɔwuiɛ.
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.
Adɛn enti na ɛsiane sɛ yɛn agya anwo ɔbabarima enti ne din ayera? Yɛgye di sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma yɛn agyapadeɛ a yɛn agya nuammarimanom anya no bi.”
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Enti Mose de wɔn asɛm too Awurade anim.
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade buaa Mose sɛ,
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.
“Asɛm a Selofehad mmammaa no ka no yɛ nokorɛ. Ma wɔn ne wɔn agya nuanom no asase. Fa agyapadeɛ a sɛ wɔn agya no te ase a anka ɔbɛnya no ma wɔn.
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.
“Deɛ ɛdi hɔ bio ne sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ ɛyɛ mo mmara sɛ, sɛ obi wu na ɔnni mmammarima a wɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ kɔ ne mmammaa hɔ enti, monyɛ no saa.
9 And if he shall have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni ɔbabaa nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ no kɔ ne nuammarima nkyɛn.
10 And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brethren.
Na sɛ ɔnni nuammarima a, ɛkɔ ne wɔfanom nkyɛn.
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.
Na sɛ ɔnni wɔn mu biara bi a, ɛkɔ ne busuani bi a ɔbɛn no nkyɛn. Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ di saa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no so.”
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Ascend this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Ɛda bi, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kɔ bepɔ a ɛwɔ Abarim mmepɔ no so na to wʼani fa asubɔnten a ɛda hɔ no so ma ɛnkɔsi asase a mede maa Israelfoɔ no so.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Sɛ wohwɛ wie a, wobɛwu sɛdeɛ wo nua Aaron wuiɛ no,
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.
ɛfiri sɛ, wosɔre tiaa me mmara wɔ Sin ɛserɛ so hɔ. Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ no sɔre tiaa me no, woamma wɔanhunu me kronkronyɛ wɔ nsuo no ho.” Na ɔretwe nʼadwene aba Meriba nsuo “Akoeɛ” a ɛwɔ Kades a ɛwɔ Sin ɛserɛ so no so.
15 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation.
“Ao Awurade, Onyankopɔn a woyɛ nnipa nyinaa honhom ti ansa na worebɛfa me no, mesrɛ, yi obi si mʼanan
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.
a ɔde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade nnipa bɛnya odwanhwɛfoɔ a ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
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;
Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔfrɛ Nun babarima Yosua a ɔwɔ Honhom no wɔ ne mu no,
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: and give him a charge in their sight.
na fa no kɔ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa nkyɛn, na nnipa no nyinaa rehwɛ mo no, fa nnipa no animdie so tumi hyɛ ne nsa.
20 And thou shalt put [some] of thy honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Fa wo tumi ma no wɔ badwam sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛtie no.
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.
Sɛ wɔhia akwankyerɛ a ɛfiri Awurade hɔ a, Yosua bɛgyina ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa anim, na ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa abɔ ntonto kronkron de abisa Awurade apɛdeɛ. Saa ɛkwan yi so na Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no bɛfa so ahwehwɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ.”
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:
Enti, Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ɔde Yosua kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne nnipa no nyinaa.
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Mose de ne nsa guu no so, de nʼadwuma hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
