< 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 —
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 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:
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 — 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;
“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4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son?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;'
Lwaki erinnya lya kitaffe mu kika linaabulamu olw’obutazaala mwana wabulenzi? Mutuwe omugabo mu baganda ba kitaffe.”
5 and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
Musa n’aleeta ensonga zaabwe awali Mukama Katonda.
6 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
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.
“Abawala ba Zerofekadi kye bagamba kituufu; bafunire omugabo ogw’obutaka awamu ne baganda ba kitaabwe, era n’omugabo gwa kitaabwe gubaweebwe.
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;
“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 have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;
Bw’ataabenga na mwana wabuwala, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda be.
10 and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's brethren;
Bw’anaabanga talina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda ba kitaawe.
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.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka waggulu ku lusozi luno Abalimu olengere ensi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirayiri.
13 and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,
Bw’onoomala okugiraba, naawe ojja kugenda abantu bo bonna gye baalaga, nga bwe kyali ne ku muganda wo Alooni,
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.
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 speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti,
16 'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,
“Mukama Katonda w’emyoyo gy’abantu bonna, alonde omusajja okulabirira ekibiina kino,
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.'
afulumenga era ayingirenga mu maaso gaabwe, omuntu anaabafulumyanga era anaabayingizanga, abantu ba Mukama baleme okuba ng’endiga ezitaliiko musumba.”
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,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Twala Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omusajja alimu omwoyo, omusseeko omukono gwo.
19 and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
Muyimirize mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna, omukuutirire mu maaso gaabwe.
20 and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
Mukwase ekitundu ky’obuyinza bwo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri batandike okumugondera.
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.'
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 doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,
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 layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
Bw’atyo n’amussaako emikono gye, n’amukuutira, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
