Okubala 36
1 Awo abakulembeze b’ennyumba z’empya ez’omu lunyiriri lwa Gireyaadi, mutabani wa Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, nga bava mu kika kya Yusufu, ne bajja ne boogera ne Musa n’abakulembeze n’abazadde b’abaana ba Isirayiri.
Kwasekusondela inhloko zaboyise zensendo zabantwana bakoGileyadi indodana kaMakiri indodana kaManase, abosendo lwabantwana bakoJosefa, zakhuluma phambi kukaMozisi laphambi kweziphathamandla, inhloko zaboyise babantwana bakoIsrayeli,
2 Ne bagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira mukama waffe, abaana ba Isirayiri obagabanyizeemu ettaka ery’obusika bwabwe ng’okuba akalulu, era n’akulagira ebyobusika ebya muganda waffe Zerofekadi abigabire abaana be abawala.
zathi: INkosi yalaya inkosi yami ukuthi iphe abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilizwe njengelifa ngenkatho; futhi inkosi yami yalaywa yiNkosi ukuthi inike ilifa likaZelofehadi umfowethu kumadodakazi akhe.
3 Kale, nno, bwe balifumbirwa abalenzi abazaalibwa mu bika ebirala eby’abaana ba Isirayiri, ebyobusika byabwe bigenda kuggyibwa ku by’obusika obwa bajjajjaffe bigattibwe ku by’obusika obw’ebika abawala abo gye banaabanga bafumbiddwa. Kale olwo ebyobusika bye twagabana birituggyibwako.
Uba esendela kwenye yamadodana ezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ilifa lawo lizasuswa elifeni labobaba, lengezelelwe elifeni lalesosizwe azakuba ngawaso; ngalokho lizasuswa kunkatho yelifa lethu.
4 Awo Omwaka gwa Jjubiri ogw’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe gunaatuukanga, ebyobusika byabwe bigenda kugattibwanga ku bw’ebika abawala abo gye banaabanga bafumbiddwa, n’eby’obutaka bwabwe nga bitoolebwa ku butaka obwa bajjajjaffe obw’ensikirano.”
Lalapho kuzakuba lijubili labantwana bakoIsrayeli, ilifa lawo lizakwengezelelwa elifeni lalesosizwe azakuba ngawaso; ngalokho ilifa lawo lizasuswa elifeni lesizwe sabobaba.
5 Awo Musa n’addamu abantu ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali n’alagira abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Abava mu batabani ab’omu kika kya Yusufu kye bagamba kituufu.
UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngokomlomo weNkosi esithi: Isizwe sabantwana bakoJosefa sikhulume kuhle.
6 Kino kye kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda ku nsonga z’abawala ba Zerofekadi: Mubaleke bafumbirwenga omusajja gwe baneesiimiranga, naye omusajja oyo gwe banaafumbirwanga anaavanga mu kika kya kitaabwe.
Le yinto iNkosi eyilayileyo mayelana lamadodakazi kaZelofehadi isithi: Kawendele kulabo abahle emehlweni awo, kodwa kawendele osendweni lwesizwe sikayise.
7 Mu by’obusika bw’abaana ba Isirayiri, tewaabengawo butaka obw’obusika obunaggibwanga mu kika ekimu ne butwalibwa mu kika ekirala, kubanga buli omu mu baana ba Isirayiri anaakuumanga butiribiri obutaka obw’omu kika kye bw’anaabanga asikidde okuva ku bajjajjaabe.
Ngalokho ilifa labantwana bakoIsrayeli kalingabhodi lisuke esizweni liye esizweni, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazanamathela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lesizwe saboyise.
8 Era buli mwana owoobuwala anaasikiranga obutaka mu kika kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, anaateekwanga okufumbirwa omusajja ow’omu kika kya kitaawe w’omuwala oyo; bwe kityo buli mwana wa Isirayiri anaabeeranga n’obutaka obw’obusika bwa bakitaawe.
Layileyo laleyo indodakazi edla ilifa esizweni sabantwana bakoIsrayeli izakwendela komunye wosendo wesizwe sikayise, ukuze abantwana bakoIsrayeli badle ilifa, omunye lomunye ilifa laboyise.
9 Noolwekyo tewaabengawo butaka obw’obusika obuggyibwa mu kika ekimu ne butwalibwa mu kika ekirala; kubanga buli kika eky’abaana ba Isirayiri kinaakuumanga butiribiri obutaka bw’obusika obw’ekika ekyo.”
Ngalokho ilifa kaliyikubhoda lisuke esizweni liye kwesinye isizwe, ngoba izizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli zizanamathela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lakhe.
10 Bwe batyo bawala ba Zerofekadi ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi enza njalo amadodakazi kaZelofehadi;
11 Bawala ba Zerofekadi bano: Maala, ne Tiruza, ne Kogula, ne Mirika, ne Noowa, baafumbirwa batabani ba baganda ba bakitaabwe.
ngoba uMahla, uTiriza, loHogila, loMilka, loNowa, amadodakazi kaZelofehadi, endela emadodaneni abafowabo bakayise.
12 Baafumbirwa mu mpya za batabani ba Manase mutabani wa Yusufu, ebyobusika byabwe ne bisigala mu kika kya kitaabwe.
Endela kunsendo zabantwana bakoManase indodana kaJosefa, lelifa lawo lahlala esizweni sosendo lukayise.
13 Ago ge mateeka n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda bye yalagira Musa n’abituusa eri abaana ba Isirayiri nga bali mu nsenyi za Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani okwolekera Yeriko.
Le yimilayo lezahlulelo iNkosi eyazilaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngesandla sikaMozisi emagcekeni akoMowabi eJordani eJeriko.
