Mitango 27
1 Bana basi ya Tselofikadi, mwana mobali ya Eferi, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase bazalaki bakitani ya libota ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi. Bakombo na bango ezalaki: Mala, Noa, Ogila, Milika mpe Tiritsa. Bayaki
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 liboso ya Moyize, ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe ya bakambi ya lisanga mobimba, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe balobaki:
and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
3 « Tata na biso akufaki na esobe. Azalaki te na molongo na bato oyo bazalaki kolanda Kore, oyo basanganaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Yawe, kasi akufaki mpo na masumu na ye moko mpe atikaki bana mibali te.
“Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation who were gathered together against YHWH in the congregation of Korah, but he died for his own sin, and had no sons;
4 Bongo mpo na nini kombo ya tata na biso elimwa kaka boye na libota na ye, mpo ete azalaki na mwana mobali te? Pesa biso mpe eteni ya mabele kati na bandeko ya tata na biso. »
why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son? Give a possession to us in the midst of the brothers of our father”;
5 Boye, Moyize amemaki likambo na bango liboso ya Yawe.
and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.
6 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
7 « Makambo oyo bana basi ya Tselofikadi bazali koloba ezali solo. Osengeli kopesa bango eteni ya mabele lokola libula kati na bandeko ya tata na bango mpe pesa bango libula ya tata na bango.
“The daughters of Zelophehad are speaking correctly; you certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and have caused the inheritance of their father to pass over to them.
8 Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki moto moko asili kokufa mpe atiki bana mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya mwana na ye ya mwasi.
And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a man dies and has no son, then you have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
9 Soki mpe azali na mwana mwasi te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali.
and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
10 Soki mpe azali na bandeko mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya bandeko mibali ya tata na ye.
and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
11 Bongo, soki tata na ye azalaki mpe na bandeko mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya ndeko ya pene ya libota ya tata na ye; ye nde akokitana na yango. Oyo ekozala mpo na Isalaele, mobeko oyo bosengeli kolanda ndenge Yawe alobaki na Moyize. › »
and if his father has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his relation who is near to him of his family, and he has possessed it”; and it has been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
12 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mata likolo ya bangomba ya Abarimi, mpe tala mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go up to this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
13 Sima na yo komona yango, yo mpe okokende kosangana na bakoko na yo na mokili ya bakufi ndenge moko na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali,
and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
14 pamba te tango lisanga ya bato batombokaki mpo na mayi, na esobe ya Tsini, bino mpe botosaki mitindo na Ngai te mpe bopesaki lokumu te na bosantu na Ngai na miso na bango. Ezalaki nde mayi ya Meriba ya Kadeshi, na esobe ya Tsini.
because you provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation—to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes”; they [are] the waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Moyize alobaki na Yawe:
And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,
16 — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe oyo apesaka pema na bato nyonso, apona moto moko mpo ete akamba lingomba oyo;
“YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
17 moto oyo akobanda kobima mpe kokota liboso na bango, oyo akobanda kobimisa mpe kokotisa bango mpo ete bato na Yawe bazala te lokola bibwele oyo ezanga mobateli.
who goes out before them, and who comes in before them, and who takes them out, and who brings them in, and the congregation of YHWH is not as sheep which have no shepherd.”
18 Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Kamata Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, moto oyo azali na molimo mpe tia ye maboko na yo.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun to yourself, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and you have laid your hand on him,
19 Mema ye liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe ya lingomba mobimba ya bato, bongo okopesa ye mosala na miso na bango.
and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
20 Pesa ye ndambo ya bokonzi na yo mpo ete lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele bakoka kotosa ye.
and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
21 Akokende kotelema liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, oyo akotuna mokano na Yawe mpo na ye, na nzela na Urimi. Na mokano wana nde, ye mpe lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele bakobanda kobima mpe kokota.
And he stands before Eleazar the priest, and he has inquired before YHWH for him by the judgment of the Lights; 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 congregation.”
22 Moyize asalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki ye. Akamataki Jozue mpe atelemisaki ye liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele.
And Moses does as YHWH has commanded him, and takes Joshua and causes him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation,
23 Atiaki ye maboko mpe apesaki ye mosala, ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
