Nomery 27
1 Niheo mb’eo amy zao o anak’ ampela’ i Tselofekhàde ana’ i Kèfere, ana’ i Gilàde, ana’i Makìre, ana’i Menasè ana’ Iosefeo; le zao ty tahina’ o anak’ ampela’eo: i Maklà, i Noae, Koglàe, i Milka, vaho i Tirtsà,
Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 naho nijohañe añatrefa’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o roandriañeo naho i hene valobohòkey an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe eo, nanao ty hoe:
They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,
3 Nivilasy am-patrambey añe ty rae’ay, f’ie tsy ni-mpiamo nifanontoñe niatreatre am’ Iehovào, tsy ni-mpiamy Kòrahke, fa nihomak’ amo hakeo’eo avao vaho tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.
4 Aa vaho hasintak’ aman-drolongo’e hao ty tahinan-drae’ay amy te tsy aman’ anadahy? Ehe anoloro lova amo longon-droae’aio.
Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.
5 Nente’ i Mosè añatrefa’ Iehovà i saontsy zay.
So Moses put their cause before the Lord.
6 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the Lord said to Moses,
7 Mivolan-tò o anak’ ampela’ i Tselofekàdeo; toe hitolora’o lova amo lovan-drahalahin-drae’eo, vaho hampandovae’o ty lovan-drae’e.
What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.
8 Le saontsio amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Naho vilasy t’indaty tsy nampipok’ ana-dahy, le hampandovae’ areo o anak’ ampela’eo ty lova’e.
And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.
9 Aa ie tsy aman’ anak’ampela le hatolo’o an-droahalahi’e ty lova’e.
And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.
10 Aa ie tsy aman-drahalahy, le hatolo’o an-droahalahin-drae’e ty lova’e.
And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.
11 Aa naho tsy aman-drahalahy ty rae’e le hatolo’o amy ze longo marine aze amy fifokoa’ey i lova’ey, vaho ie ty handova aze; ho fañè-jaka amo ana’ Israeleo izay amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy.
And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
12 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè: Mañambonea am-bohi’ Abarìme mb’ atoy, le oniño i tane atoloko amo ana’ Israeleoy.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 Aa ihe mahaisak’ aze, le hatontoñe amo longo’oo manahake ty nanontoñañe i Aharone amo rahalahi’eo.
And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:
14 Amy te niola’o i lilikoy amy nifandiera’ i valobohòkey am-patrambei’ i Tsiney, ihe tsy nañonjoñe ty engeko añatrefa’ iereo amy ranoy. (Ie i rano natao Meribà e Kadese am-patram-bei’ i Tsiney.)
Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)
15 Le nisaontsy am’ Iehovà t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe,
Then Moses said to the Lord,
16 Ee te hanendre ondaty hifehe i valobohòkey t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen’ arofo’ ze hene nofotse,
Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,
17 ie ty hiakatse naho hizilik’ añatrefa’ iareo, naho hiaolo iareo te mionjoñe, vaho hampipoly iareo, tsy mone hanao lian’ añondry tsy amam-piarake ty valobohò’ Iehovà.
To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.
18 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè: Rambeso t’Iehosoa, ana’ i None, ondaty aman’ arofo, le anampezo fitàñe;
And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;
19 avotraho aolo’ i Elazare naho añatrefa’ i valobohòkey re le orizo am-pahaoniña’ iareo.
And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.
20 Le andivao ama’e ty lili’o, hivohora’ ty valobohò’ Israele.
And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.
21 Hijohañe añatrefa’ i Elazare mpisoroñe re, le ie ty hañontane ho aze ami’ ty fizakà’ i Orime añatrefan’ Añahare. Amy saontsi’ey ty hiavota’ iareo vaho amy saontsi’ey ty hiziliha’ iareo; ie naho o ana’ Israele mindre ama’eo, i valobohòkey.
He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.
22 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè i nandilia’ Iehovà azey. Rinambe’e t’Iehosoa vaho nampiheove’e añatrefa’ i Elazare mpisoroñe naho i valobohòkey;
So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:
23 le nanongoa’e fitàñe vaho namantok’ aze, amy natoro’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosey.
And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
