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 drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: 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,
They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, 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 died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
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.”
Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."
5 Ya mere, Mosis butere mkpa ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya,
The LORD spoke to 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 speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to 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.
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ mụtaghị nwa nwanyị, oke ruru ya ga-alara ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke.
If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 A sịkwa na o nweghị ụmụnne ndị nwoke, mgbe ahụ oke ya ga-alara ụmụnne nna ya ndị nwoke.
If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
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.’”
If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as the LORD 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.
The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 Mgbe i lechasịrị ya, ị ga-anwụ dịka nwanne gị Erọn nwụrụ.
When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your 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.)
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
15 Mosis zara Onyenwe anyị sị ya,
Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
16 “Ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nwe mmụọ nke mmadụ niile, họpụta onyendu ga-elekọta ọgbakọ a.
"Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over 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 go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD not be as sheep which have no shepherd."
18 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Kpọrọ Joshua, nwa Nun, onye nwere mmụọ Chineke nʼime ya, bikwasị ya aka gị.
The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on 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 commission him in their sight.
20 Nyekwa ha ụfọdụ ikike gị, ka nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel nwee ike rubere ya isi.
You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the 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.”
He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even 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.
Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, 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.
and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
