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 —
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 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:
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 — 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;
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4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son?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;'
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 bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
Enti Mose de wɔn asɛm too Awurade anim.
6 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade buaa Mose sɛ,
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.
“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 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;
“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 have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;
Na sɛ ɔnni ɔbabaa nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ no kɔ ne nuammarima nkyɛn.
10 and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's brethren;
Na sɛ ɔnni nuammarima a, ɛkɔ ne wɔfanom nkyɛn.
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.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons 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 thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,
Sɛ wohwɛ wie a, wobɛwu sɛdeɛ wo nua Aaron wuiɛ no,
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.
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 speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
16 'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,
“Ao Awurade, Onyankopɔn a woyɛ nnipa nyinaa honhom ti ansa na worebɛfa me no, mesrɛ, yi obi si mʼanan
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.'
a ɔde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade nnipa bɛnya odwanhwɛfoɔ a ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
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,
Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔfrɛ Nun babarima Yosua a ɔwɔ Honhom no wɔ ne mu no,
19 and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
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 hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
Fa wo tumi ma no wɔ badwam sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛtie no.
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.'
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 doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,
Enti, Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ɔde Yosua kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne nnipa no nyinaa.
23 and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
Mose de ne nsa guu no so, de nʼadwuma hyɛɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
