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 there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No'ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
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 Elazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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; but he was not among the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korach; but in his own sin he died, and sons he had not.
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.
Why should the name of our father be done away from the midst of his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us a possession among the brothers of our father.
5 Ary nalahatr’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ireo.
And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
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.
The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly: thou shalt indeed give them a possession as an inheritance among the brothers of their father; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 Ary lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha misy lehilahy maty ka tsy manan-janakalahy, dia ny zananivavy no hampandovainareo ny zara-taniny.
And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 Ary raha tsy manan-janakavavy izy, dia ny rahalahiny no homenareo ny zara-taniny.
And if he have no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his brothers.
10 Ary raha tsy manan-drahalahy izy, dia ny rahalahin-drainy no homenareo ny zara-taniny.
And if he have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his father's brothers.
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 his father have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of justice, as the Lord hath 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 unto Moses, Go thou up unto this mount of 'Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 Ary rehefa hitanao izany, dia hangonina any amin’ ny razanao koa ianao, tahaka izay nanangonana an’ i Arona rahalahinao;
And when thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered.
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 rebelled against my order in the desert of Zin, at the quarreling of the congregation, to sanctify me through the waters before their eyes: these are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Ary Mosesy niteny tamin’ i Jehovah hoe:
And Moses spoke unto the Lord, saying,
16 Aoka Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny fanahin’ ny nofo rehetra, hanendry lehilahy izay hitandrina ny fiangonana
Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the 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 may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as a flock which have no 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 said unto Moses, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom there is a spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand 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 cause him to stand before Elazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and thou shalt give him a charge before their eyes.
20 Dia anomezo azy ny voninahitrao, mba hihainoan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra azy.
And thou shalt put some of thy greatness upon him; in order that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
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 before Elazar the priest shall he stand, and he shall ask of him after the judgment of the Urim before the Lord: at his direction shall they go out, and at his direction shall they come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, 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 had commanded him; and he took Joshua, and caused him to stand before Elazar 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 upon him, and gave him a charge: as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
