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,
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 —
2 nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, guzo nʼihu Mosis, na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu niile na ọgbakọ Izrel niile kwuo sị,
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:
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 — 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;
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why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son?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;'
5 Ya mere, Mosis butere mkpa ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
6 Ma Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
'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.
8 “Gwa ndị Izrel sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwoke, oke niile ruru ya ga-alara nwa ya nwanyị.
'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;
9 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ mụtaghị nwa nwanyị, oke ruru ya ga-alara ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke.
and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to 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 have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's 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 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.
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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
13 Mgbe i lechasịrị ya, ị ga-anwụ dịka nwanne gị Erọn nwụrụ.
and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been 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 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.
15 Mosis zara Onyenwe anyị sị ya,
And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
16 “Ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nwe mmụọ nke mmadụ niile, họpụta onyendu ga-elekọta ọgbakọ a.
'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,
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 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.'
18 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Kpọrọ Joshua, nwa Nun, onye nwere mmụọ Chineke nʼime ya, bikwasị ya aka gị.
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,
19 Mee ka o guzo nʼihu Elieza onye nchụaja, nakwa nʼihu ọgbakọ niile, nyefee ya ọrụ nke ịbụ onyendu nʼihu ha.
and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
20 Nyekwa ha ụfọdụ ikike gị, ka nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel nwee ike rubere ya isi.
and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
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 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.'
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.
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,
23 Mosis bikwasịrị aka ya abụọ nʼisi Joshua, rara ya nyefee maka ije ozi ahụ niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
