< Na Helu 27 >
1 A LAILA hide mai na kaikamahine a Zelopehada, ke keiki a Hepera, ke keiki a Gileada, ke keiki a Makira, ko keiki a Manase, no na ohana a Manase ke keiki a Iosepa: eia hoi na inoa o kana mau kaikamahine; o Mahela, o Noa, o Hogela, o Mileka a me Tireza.
Then to Moses came the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
2 Ku no lakou imua o Mose, imua hoi o Eleazara ke kahuna, a imua o na luna, a imua hoi o ke anaina kanaka a pau, ma ka puka o ka halelewa anaina, i mai la,
They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and before all the community at the entrance to the tent of meeting. They said,
3 Ua make ko makou makuakane ma ka waonahele, aole no ia me ka poe i hoakoakoa pu e ku e ia Iehova me e Kora ma; aka, make no in iloko o kona hewa iho no, aole hoi ana keikikane.
“Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among those who conspired against Yahweh in the company of Korah. He died for his own sin, and he had no sons.
4 No ke aha la e laweia'ku ai ka inoa o ko makou makuakane maiwaena aku o kona ohana, no kona nele i ke keikikane? E haawi mai no makou i wahi e noho ai iwaena o na hoahanau o ko makou makuakane.
Why should our father's name be taken away from among his clan members because he had no son? Give us land among our father's relatives.”
5 A lawe aku la o Mose i ko lakou mea imua o Iehova.
So Moses brought their case before Yahweh.
6 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
7 Ke olelo pono mai nei no na kaikamahine a Zelopehada: e haawi io aku no oe i aina hooili iwaena o na hoahanau o ko lakou makuakane: a e hoolilo oe i ka aina hooili o ko lakou makuakane no lakou.
“Zelophehad's daughters are speaking correctly. You must certainly give them land as an inheritance among their father's relatives, and you must ensure that their father's inheritance passes on to them.
8 A e olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e i aku, Ina make kekahi kanaka, aole ana keikikane, alaila e hoolilo oe i kona aina i hooili no kana kaikamahine.
You must speak to the people of Israel and say, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you must cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 Ina aole hoi he kaikamahine nana, e haawi aku oukou i kona aina hooili no kona mau hoahanau.
If he has no daughter, then you must give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 A i ole ona hoahanau, alaila e haawi aku oukou i kona aina hooili no na hoahanau o kona makuakane
If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11 A i ole na hoahanau o kona makuakane, alaila e haawi aku oukou i kona aina hooili no kona hoahanau e kokoke mai ana ma kona ohana, a e lilo ia nona: a e lilo ia i kanawai hoopono no na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka ke Akua i kauoha wai ai ia Mose.
If his father has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his clan, and he must take it for his own. This will be a law established by decree for the people of Israel, as Yahweh has commanded me.'”
12 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E pii aku oe i keia kuahiwi o Abarima, e nana i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no na mamo a Iseraela.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up the mountains of Abarim and look at the land that I have given to the people of Israel.
13 A pau kou nana ana, o oe hoi kekahi e hui pu ia'ku me kou poe kanaka, e like mo kou kaikuaana o Aarona i hui pu ia'ku ai.
After you have seen it, you, too, must be gathered to your people, like Aaron your brother.
14 No ka mea, ua ku e mai olua i ka'u olelo ma ka waonahele o Zina, kahi i hakaka'ai ke anaina kanaka; aole olua i hoano mai ia'u ma ka wai imua o ko lakou mau maka: oia ka wai o Meriba ma Kadesa ma ka waonahele o Zina.
This will happen because you two rebelled against my command in the wilderness of Zin. There, when the water flowed from the rock, in your anger you failed to honor me as holy before the eyes of the whole community.” These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Olelo aku la o Mose ia Iehova, i aku la,
Then Moses spoke to Yahweh and said,
16 Na Iehova, na ke Akua o na uhane o kanaka a pau e hoonoho i kekahi kanaka maluna o ke anaina kanaka,
“May you, Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all humanity, appoint a man over the community,
17 Nana e hale aku imua o lakou, nana hoi e hele hou mai imua o lakou; nana lakou e kai aku, nana hoi lakou e kai mai; i like ole ai ke anaina kanaka o Iehova me na hipa kahu ole.
a man who may go out and come in before them and lead them out and bring them in, so that your community is not like sheep that have no shepherd.”
18 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe oe ia Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, he kanaka iloko ona ka Uhane, a e kau oe i kou lima maluna ona;
Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom my Spirit lives, and lay your hand on him.
19 A e hoonoho ia ia imua o Eleazara ke kahuna, imua hoi o ke anaina kanaka a pau; a e kauoha oe ia ia imua o lakou.
Place him before Eleazar the priest and before all the community, and command him before their eyes to lead them.
20 E kau aku oe i kekahi o kou hanohano maluna iho ona, i hoolohe mai ai ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
You must put some of your authority on him, so that all the community of the people of Israel may obey him.
21 A e ku mai ia imua o Eleazara ke kahuna, nana e ninau mai nona ma ka olelo a ka Urima imua o Iehova: ma kana olelo e hele aku ai lakou, a ma kana olelo hoi lakou e hoi mai ai, oia a me na mamo a pau a Iseraela me ia, o ke anaina kanaka a pau.
He will go before Eleazar the priest to seek my will for him by the decisions of the Urim. It will be at his command that the people will go out and come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole community.”
22 Hana iho la o Mose, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia: lawe aku la oia ia Iosua, hoonoho iho la ia ia imua o Eleazara ke kahuna, imua hoi o ke anaina kanaka a pau.
So Moses did as Yahweh had commanded him. He took Joshua and placed him before Eleazar the priest and all the community.
23 Kau aku la ia i kona mau lima maluna iho ona, a kauoha aku la ia ia, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ma ka lima o Mose.
He laid his hands on him and commanded him to lead, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
