Numbers 27
1 And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near — and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah —
Na rĩrĩ, airĩtu acio a Zelofehadi mũrũ wa Heferi mũrũ wa Gileadi, mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase maarĩ a mbarĩ cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu. Marĩĩtwa ma airĩtu acio maarĩ Mahala, na Noa, na Hogila, na Milika, na Tiriza. Nĩmathiire, magĩkuhĩrĩria
2 and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying:
itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, makĩrũgama mbere ya Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya atongoria, o na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, makiuga atĩrĩ,
3 'Our father died in the wilderness, and he — he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had no sons;
“Ithe witũ aakuĩrĩire werũ-inĩ. Ndaarĩ ũmwe wa arũmĩrĩri a Kora, arĩa manyiitanire mokĩrĩre Jehova, no aakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene na ndaarĩ na aanake.
4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;'
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩa awa rĩniinwo mbarĩ-inĩ yao, nĩ ũndũ atĩ ndaarĩ na mwanake? Tũhei igai hamwe na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe witũ.”
5 and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtwarĩra Jehova ũhoro ũcio wao,
6 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
7 'Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and hast caused to pass over the inheritance of their father to them.
“Ũguo airĩtu a Zelofehadi maroiga nĩ kĩhooto. Ti-itherũ nĩ wega ũmaheanĩrie igai rĩao na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe wao, o narĩo igai rĩa ithe wao ũmahe.
8 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When a man dieth, and hath no son, then ye have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ angĩkua na ndatige mwana wa kahĩĩ, mwarĩ nĩaheo igai rĩake.
9 and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na mũirĩtu-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina igai rĩake.
10 and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's brethren;
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina na ithe igai rĩake.
11 and if his father have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his relation who is near unto him of his family, and he hath possessed it;' and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Angĩkorwo ithe ndaarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao ũrĩa marĩ a igai rĩake, nĩguo rĩtuĩke rĩake. Ũndũ ũcio ũgũtuĩka watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa.’”
12 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wambate kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ, kũu rũgongo rwa Abarimu, wĩrorere bũrũri ũrĩa heete andũ a Isiraeli.
13 and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,
Warĩkia kũwona, we nĩũgũkua o ta ũrĩa Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa aakuire, na ũcookanĩrĩrio na andũ anyu,
14 because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the company — to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes;' they [are] waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩanemeire hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Werũ wa Zini, wee na Harũni inyuĩ eerĩ mũtiathĩkĩire watho wakwa, nĩmwagire kũndĩĩithia nĩguo muonanie atĩ ndĩ mũtheru mbere ya maitho mao.” (Maaĩ macio nĩ marĩa ma Meriba Kadeshi, Werũ-inĩ wa Zini.)
15 And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ,
16 'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,
“Jehova-Ngai wa maroho ma andũ othe, nĩagĩthuure mũndũ atuĩke mũrori wa kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ,
17 who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them, and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.'
atwaranage nakĩo gĩkiumagara na gĩkĩinũka, ũrĩa ũrĩgĩtongoragia gĩgĩthiĩ na gĩgĩcooka, nĩguo kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova gĩtigatuĩke ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.”
18 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take to thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine hand upon him,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho thĩinĩ wake, na ũmũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku.
19 and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
Mũrũgamie mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe ũmũtue mũtongoria wao hau mbere yao.
20 and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
Ũmũhe ũhoti ũmwe waku, nĩgeetha kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩmwathĩkagĩre.
21 'And before Eleazar the priest he standeth, and he hath asked for him by the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah; at His word they go out, and at His word they come in; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the company.'
Nake arũgamage mbere ya Eleazaru ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩmũtuĩragĩria ũhoro na ũndũ wa kũũria Urimu mbere ya Jehova. Rĩrĩa aathana, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara, ningĩ aathana rĩngĩ makainũka.”
22 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũguo Jehova aamwathĩte. Akĩoya Joshua, na akĩmũrũgamia mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o na mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
23 and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
Ningĩ akĩmũigĩrĩra moko make na akĩmũtua mũtongoria wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
