< Nomery 27 >
1 Ary avy ny zanakavavin’ i Zelofada, zanakalahin’ i Hefera, zanak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, avy tamin’ ny fokon’ i Manase, zanak i Josefa (ary izao no anarany: Mahala sy Noa sy Hogla sy Milka ary Tirza),
And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;
2 dia nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana sy ny fiangonana rehetra, teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy ka nanao hoe:
and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
3 Ny rainay dia maty tany an-efitra, kanefa tsy mba isan’ ny antokon’ i Kora izay niangona hiodina tamin’ i Jehovah tsy akory; fa matin’ ny fahotany ihany izy, nefa tsy nanan-janakalahy.
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.
4 Nahoana ny rainay no ho fati-maso eo amin’ ny fokony, na dia tsy nanan-janakalahy aza izy? mba omeo zara-tany eo amin’ ny rahalahin’ ny rainay izahay.
And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
5 Ary nalahatr’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ireo.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and thou shalt assign their father's inheritance to them.
7 Marina ny tenin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Zelofada: omeo zara-tany eo amin’ ny rahalahin-drainy tokoa izy; dia ampandovay ny zara-tanin-drainy izy.
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,
8 Ary lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha misy lehilahy maty ka tsy manan-janakalahy, dia ny zananivavy no hampandovainareo ny zara-taniny.
If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
9 Ary raha tsy manan-janakavavy izy, dia ny rahalahiny no homenareo ny zara-taniny.
And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his brother.
10 Ary raha tsy manan-drahalahy izy, dia ny rahalahin-drainy no homenareo ny zara-taniny.
And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
11 Ary raha tsy manan-drahalahy ny rainy, dia ny havany akaiky azy amin’ ny fokony no homenareo ny zara-taniny, ka izy no handova azy: ho lalàna hitondrana ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Miakara amin’ ity tendrombohitra Abarima ity, ka tazano ny tany izay omeko ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
13 Ary rehefa hitanao izany, dia hangonina any amin’ ny razanao koa ianao, tahaka izay nanangonana an’ i Arona rahalahinao;
And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or:
14 fa nandà ny teniko ianareo tany an-efitra Zina, tamin’ ilay nilan’ ny fiangonana ady, ka tsy nanamasina Ahy teo amin’ ny rano teo imasony. (Izany no ranon’ i Meriba any Kadesy any an-efitra Zina.)
because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.
15 Ary Mosesy niteny tamin’ i Jehovah hoe:
And Moses said to the Lord,
16 Aoka Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny fanahin’ ny nofo rehetra, hanendry lehilahy izay hitandrina ny fiangonana
Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,
17 ka hivoaka sy hiditra eo alohany ary hitarika azy hivoaka sy hiditra, mba tsy ho tahaka ny ondry tsy misy mpiandry ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah.
who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Alao ho anao Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, lehilahy izay manam-panahy, ka ametraho ny tananao izy;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon him.
19 ary asaovy mijoro eo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy ny fiangonana rehetra izy, ka mandidia azy eo imasony ianao.
And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give him a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge concerning him before them.
20 Dia anomezo azy ny voninahitrao, mba hihainoan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra azy.
And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel may hearken to him.
21 Ary Josoa hijanona eo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona, izay hanadina amin’ ny fitsaran’ i Orima eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho azy; araka ny teniny no hivoahany, ary araka ny teniny no hidirany, dia izy sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, dia ny fiangonana rehetra.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.
22 Ary nataon’ i Mosesy araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy; dia naka an’ i Josoa izy ka nampijoro azy teo anatrehan’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy ny fiangonana rehetra
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.
23 ka nametraka ny tànany taminy ary nandidy azy, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
