Ọnụọgụgụ 27
1 Ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad nwa Hefa, nwa Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase bụ ndị si nʼagbụrụ Manase nwa Josef. Aha ndị inyom ndị a bụ: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tịaza. Ha bịara,
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
2 nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, guzo nʼihu Mosis, na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu niile na ọgbakọ Izrel niile kwuo sị,
And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
3 “Nna anyị Zelofehad nwụrụ nʼọzara ma ọ bụghị otu nʼime ndị sonyere Kora, bụ ndị ahụ zukọtara megide Onyenwe anyị. Ọ nwụrụ ọnwụ nʼihi mmehie nke ya. Ma otu ọ dị, ọ mụtaghị nwoke.
Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.
4 Gịnị ga-eme a ga-eji hichapụ aha nna anyị site nʼagbụrụ ya nʼihi na ọ mụtaghị nwoke? Ọ bụ uche anyị na e kwesiri ikenye anyị oke nʼoge a na-enye ụmụnne nna anyị oke.”
Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 Ya mere, Mosis butere mkpa ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
7 “Ihe ụmụ Zelofehad na-ekwu ziri ezi. Ị ghaghị ikenye ha oke nʼetiti ụmụnne nna ha, ma nyefeekwa ha oke ruru nna ha.
The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.
8 “Gwa ndị Izrel sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwoke, oke niile ruru ya ga-alara nwa ya nwanyị.
Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.
9 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ mụtaghị nwa nwanyị, oke ruru ya ga-alara ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke.
And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.
10 A sịkwa na o nweghị ụmụnne ndị nwoke, mgbe ahụ oke ya ga-alara ụmụnne nna ya ndị nwoke.
And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
11 Ọ bụrụkwa na o nweghị ndị nwoke bụ ụmụnne nna ya, mgbe ahụ ihe nketa ya ga-alara onye dịkarịrị ya nso nʼikwu ya, ka ọ bụrụ nke ya. Nke a bụ iwu dịrị ndị Izrel niile dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya Mosis nʼiwu.’”
And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya: “Gaa rigoro nʼugwu Abarim site nʼebe ahụ lefee anya nʼofe mmiri Jọdan leruo ala ahụ nke m nyere ụmụ Izrel anya.
Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.
13 Mgbe i lechasịrị ya, ị ga-anwụ dịka nwanne gị Erọn nwụrụ.
And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 Nʼihi na unu nupuru isi nye okwu m nʼọzara Zin, mgbe ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel sesịrị m okwu. Unu abụọ nupuru isi nʼiwu m ido m nsọ nʼihu ha.” (Ndị a bụ mmiri Meriba Kadesh, nke dị nʼọzara Zin.)
For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.
15 Mosis zara Onyenwe anyị sị ya,
Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,
16 “Ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nwe mmụọ nke mmadụ niile, họpụta onyendu ga-elekọta ọgbakọ a.
Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,
17 Onye ga na-apụ na-abatakwa nʼihu ha, onye ga na-edu ha pụọ, duru ha batakwa, ka ndị Onyenwe anyị ghara ịdị ka atụrụ na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ.”
Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.
18 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Kpọrọ Joshua, nwa Nun, onye nwere mmụọ Chineke nʼime ya, bikwasị ya aka gị.
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,
19 Mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, nakwa nʼihu ọgbakọ niile, nyefee ya ọrụ nke ịbụ onyendu nʼihu ha.
And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.
20 Nyekwa ha ụfọdụ ikike gị, ka nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel nwee ike rubere ya isi.
And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.
21 Ma ya onwe ya ga-eguzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, onye ga-ajụrụ ya ase site na mkpebi Urim nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ site nʼokwu ọnụ ya ka ha ga-apụ, site nʼokwu ọnụ ya ka ha ga-ana abata. Ma ya onwe ya, ma ndị Izrel niile, tinyekwara nzukọ niile.”
And he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.
22 Ya mere, Mosis mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu. O duuru Joshua mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja na ọgbakọ niile.
So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
23 Mosis bikwasịrị aka ya abụọ nʼisi Joshua, rara ya nyefee maka ije ozi ahụ niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
