Tauanga 27
1 Na ka haere mai nga tamahine a Teropehara tama a Hewhere, he tama hoki ia na Kirera, tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi; no nga hapu o Manahi, tama a Hohepa: a ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine; ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mirika, ko Tirita.
Now the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They approached
2 A ka tu ratou ki te aroaro o Mohi, ki te aroaro hoki o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano o nga rangatira, o te whakaminenga katoa hoki, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a ka mea,
the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
3 I mate to matou papa ki te koraha, kahore hoki ia i roto i te hui o te hunga i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Ihowa i roto i te hui a Koraha: engari i mate ia i runga i tona hara ake, kahore ano hoki ana tama.
“Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.
4 He aha i whakakorea ai te ingoa o to matou papa i roto i tona hapu, i a ia kahore nei i whai tama? Homai he wahi ki a matou i roto i nga teina o to matu papa.
Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
5 Na ka kawea ta ratou korero e Mohi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
6 A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
and the LORD answered him,
7 He tika nga korero a nga tamahine a Teropehara: me hoatu tetahi wahi ki a ratou hei kainga tupu i roto i nga teina o to ratou papa: me whakariro ki a ratou te kainga tupu o to ratou papa.
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
8 Me korero ano hoki e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Ki te mate te tangata, a kahore ana tama, na me whakariro tona kainga tupu ki tana tamahine.
Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
9 A ki te kahore ana tamahine, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki ona tuakana, teina ranei.
If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 A ki te kahore ona tuakana, teina ranei, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki te tuakana, teina ranei o tona papa.
If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
11 A ki te kahore he tuakana, teina ranei o tona papa, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki tona whanaunga o tona hapu e tata ana ki a ia, a ka riro a reira i a ia: me waiho hoki tena hei tikanga whakaritenga ma nga tama a Iharaira; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”
12 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E piki koe ki tenei maunga, ki Aparimi, ka titiro atu ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.
13 A ka kitea e koe, na ka kohia atu hoki koe ki tou iwi, ka peratia me tou tuakana, me Arona i kohia atu nei:
After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;
14 Mo korua i whakatoi ki taku kupu i te koraha o Hini, i te ngangautanga a te whakaminenga, a kihai i whakatapu i ahau i to ratou aroaro, i te wai. Ko te wai o Meripa tena i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini.
for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin.
15 A i korero a Mohi ki a Ihowa, i mea,
So Moses appealed to the LORD,
16 Kia whakaritea e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga wairua o nga kikokiko katoa, tetahi tangata mo te whakaminenga,
“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
17 Hei haere atu i to ratou aroaro, hei haere mai hoki i to ratou aroaro, hei arahi atu hoki i a ratou, hei arahi mai ano i a ratou; kei rite hoki te whakaminenga a Ihowa ki nga hipi kahore nei o ratou hepara.
who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tangohia mai ki a koe a Hohua tama a Nunu, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua, ka popoki ai ou ringa ki runga ki a ia:
And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
19 Ka whakatu ai hoki i a ia ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano hoki o te whakaminenga katoa, ka whakahau ai i a ia i ta ratou tirohanga.
Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
20 Me hoatu ano e koe tetahi wahi o tou kororia ki runga ki a ia, kia rongo ai te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
21 A ka tu ia ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ko tera ano hei kaitono whakaaro mana, i ta te Urimi e whakarite ai i te aroaro o Ihowa: ma tana kupu e haere atu ai, ma tana kupu e haere mai ai ratou, i ia, me nga tama katoa a Iharaira, ara te whaka minenga katoa.
He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”
22 Na pena ana a Mohi me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia: a tangohia mai ana e ia a Hohua, whakaturia ana ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano o te whakaminenga katoa:
Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
23 A pokia iho e ia ona ringa ki runga ki a ia, me te whakahau ano ki a ia i ta Ihowa i korerotia e Mohi.
and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
