Inhloko zezindlu zosendo lukaGiliyadi indodana kaMakhiri, indodana kaManase, ababengabensendo zezizukulwane zikaJosefa, beza bakhuluma loMosi kanye labakhokheli, abazinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli.
2 Wogblɔ be, “Esime Yehowa ɖe gbe na nye aƒetɔ be wòadzidze nu, ama anyigba la na Israelviwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene la, egblɔ na wò be, nàtsɔ mía nɔvi Zelofehad ƒe domenyinu ana via nyɔnuwo.
Bathi kubo, “Lapho uThixo walaya inkosi yami ukuba iphe ilizwe njengelifa ngenkatho kwabako-Israyeli, yakhupha isiqondiso sokuthi uphe ilifa lomfowethu uZelofehadi kumadodakazi akhe.
3 Ke ne woɖe srɔ̃ tso to bubu aɖe me la, woatsɔ woƒe anyigba la ayi wo srɔ̃ŋutsuwo ƒe towo me. Le mɔ sia nu la, anyigba si woama na mí la dzi aɖe,
Khathesi akesithi thina nxa bendele emadodeni ezinye izizwana zako-Israyeli; kuzakutsho ukuthi ilifa lizasuswa kwelabokhokho bethu liyekwengezelela elalesosizwana abazakwendela kuso. Ngakho kutsho ukuthi ingxenye yelifa esaliphiwayo sizayithathelwa.
4 eye womatrɔe na mí le Aseyetsoƒe la me o.”
Kuzakuthi ngomnyaka weJubhili kwabako-Israyeli, ilifa labo lizakwengezelela elalesosizwana abendele kuso, njalo impahla yabo izasuswa elifeni lesizwana sabokhokho bethu.”
5 Tete Mose ɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo siawo le Israelviwo ƒe ŋkume be, “Yosef ƒe viwo ƒe nya la le eteƒe.
Ngakho ngokulaya kukaThixo uMosi wakhipha lesisiqondiso kwabako-Israyeli: “Lokho okutshiwo yisizukulwane sesizwana sikaJosefa kuqondile.
6 Nu si Yehowa gagblɔ tso Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnuwo ŋue nye, ‘Mina woaɖe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si dze wo ŋu, ne ŋutsu la nya tso woawo ŋutɔ ƒe to la me ko.
Lokhu yikho ukulaya kukaThixo ngamadodakazi kaZelofehadi: Bakhululekile ukwendela loba kukubani obathathayo kodwa akube ngabosendo lwesizwana sikayise.
7 Le mɔ sia nu la, to la ƒe Israelnyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke mage ɖe to bubu me tɔwo ƒe asi me o, elabena ele be to sia to ƒe domenyinu nanɔ anyi tegbetegbe, abe ale si wònɔ esi womae gbã na wo la ene.
Kalikho ilifa ko-Israyeli elizasuka esizwaneni lisiya kwesinye isizwana, ngoba wonke owako-Israyeli kumele agcine ilizwe lesizwana eliyilifa labokhokho bakhe.
8 Israelviwo ƒe toawo ƒe nyɔnuwo naɖe srɔ̃ le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe towo me, ale be woƒe anyigba madzo le to la me o.
Yonke indodakazi ezakuba yindlalifa yelizwe esizwaneni sako-Israyeli kumele yendele emuntwini wesizwana sosendo lukayise, ukuze wonke owako-Israyeli abe lelifa laboyise.
9 Ale domenyinu aɖeke madzo le to aɖeke me ayi to bubu me o.’”
Kalikho ilifa elizasuka esizwaneni lisiya kwesinye isizwana, ngoba loba yisiphi isizwana sako-Israyeli kumele sigcine ilizwe eliyilifa laso.”
10 Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnuwo wɔ ɖe nu si Yehowa ɖo na Mose la dzi.
Ngakho amadodakazi kaZelofehadi enza njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
11 Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnu siawo, Mahla, Tirza, Hogla, Milka kple Noa ɖe wo fofo nɔviŋutsuwo ƒe viŋutsuwo.
Amadodakazi kaZelofehadi uMahila, loThiza, loHogila, loMilikha kanye loNowa, bendela emadodaneni abafowabo bakayise.
12 Woɖe srɔ̃ le Manase, Yosef ƒe viŋutsu ƒe dzidzimeviwo dome, ale woƒe domenyinu la tsi wo fofo ƒe ƒome kple hlɔ̃ la me.
Bendela kwabezinsendo zezizukulwane zikaManase indodana kaJosefa, njalo ilifa labo lasala kwabosendo lukayise lesizwaneni sakhe.
13 Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Israelviwo to Mose dzi, le esime woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Moab gbedzi le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to le Yeriko kasa.
Le yiyo imilayo lemithetho eyaphiwa abako-Israyeli nguThixo ngoMosi emagcekeni aseMowabi ngasemfuleni waseJodani ngakuleli iphetsheya malungana leJerikho.
