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
Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh pertaining to the families of Manasseh, son of Joseph, —these being 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:
So they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the assembly, —at the entrance 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 desert, although, he, was not among the assembly that conspired against Yahweh, in the assembly of Korah, —but, in his own sin, died he; and sons, had he none.
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. »
Wherefore should the name of our father be withdrawn out of the midst of his family, because he had no son? Give ye unto us a possession, in the midst of the brethren of our father.
5 Boye, Moyize amemaki likambo na bango liboso ya Yawe.
And Moses brought near their cause before Yahweh.
6 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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.
A right thing, are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking: Thou shalt, surely give, them a possession for an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father, —and shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass over unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, —When, any man, shall die, having no son, then shall ye cause 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 hath no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his, brethren.
10 Soki mpe azali na bandeko mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya bandeko mibali ya tata na ye.
And if he hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto the brethren of his father.
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 hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his blood-relation that is near unto him of his family, and he shall possess it, —So shall it serve the sons of Israel as a regulative statute, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
12 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mata likolo ya bangomba ya Abarimi, mpe tala mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, Go up into this mount of Abarim, —and see, the land which I have given unto 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, when thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, —as Aaron thy brother was withdrawn;
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 ye resisted my bidding—in the desert of Zin when the assembly contended, —that ye should hallow me regarding the waters, before their eyes, —the same, were the waters of Meribah, of Kadesh in the desert of Zin.
15 Moyize alobaki na Yawe:
Then spake Moses unto Yahweh saying:
16 — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe oyo apesaka pema na bato nyonso, apona moto moko mpo ete akamba lingomba oyo;
Let Yahweh, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the assembly;
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 may go out before them and who may come in before them, and who may take them out and who may bring them in, —that the assembly of Yahweh become not as sheep that 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 Yahweh said unto Moses: Take thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, —then shalt thou lean thy hand upon him;
19 Mema ye liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe ya lingomba mobimba ya bato, bongo okopesa ye mosala na miso na bango.
and shalt cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly, —and shalt charge him before their eyes;
20 Pesa ye ndambo ya bokonzi na yo mpo ete lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele bakoka kotosa ye.
and shalt put some of thine honour upon him, —that all the assembly of the sons of Israel may hearken.
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, before Eleazar the priest, shall he stand, and shall ask by him for the decision of the Lights, before Yahweh, —at the bidding thereof, shall they go out, and at the bidding thereof, shall they come in—he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the assembly.
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 did as Yahweh commanded him, —and took Joshua, and caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly;
23 Atiaki ye maboko mpe apesaki ye mosala, ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
and leaned his hands upon him and charged him, —As Yahweh spake by the hand of Moses.
