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.
Amadodakazi kaZelofehadi indodana kaHeferi, indodana kaGiliyadi, indodana kaMakhiri, indodana kaManase babengabezinsendo zikaManase indodana kaJosefa. Amabizo alawomadodakazi ayenguMahila, uNowa, uHogila, uMilikha, loThiza. Aya
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,
esangweni leThente lokuHlangana ema phambi kukaMosi lo-Eliyazari umphristi, abakhokheli kanye lebandla lonke, athi,
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.
“Ubaba wafela enkangala. Wayengekho phakathi kwabalandeli bakaKhora, bona ababambana ekuphikiseni kwabo uThixo, kodwa wafela isono sakhe njalo katshiyanga madodana.
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.
Kungani ibizo likababa licitsha kwabosendo lwakhe ngokungabi lendodana na? Sipheni ilifa lethu lathi ezihlotsheni zikababa.”
5 Na ka kawea ta ratou korero e Mohi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
Ngakho uMosi wethula indaba yawo phambi kukaThixo,
6 A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
uThixo wathi kuye,
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.
“Lokho okutshiwo ngamadodakazi kaZelofehadi kuqondile. Kufanele ubaphe isabelo sabo selifa ezihlotsheni zikayise njalo ubaphe ilifa likayise.
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.
Tshono uthi kwabako-Israyeli, ‘Nxa indoda ife ingelandodana, ilifa layo kaliphiwe indodakazi yayo.
9 A ki te kahore ana tamahine, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki ona tuakana, teina ranei.
Nxa ingelandodakazi, ilifa layo kaliphiwe abafowabo.
10 A ki te kahore ona tuakana, teina ranei, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki te tuakana, teina ranei o tona papa.
Nxa ingelabafowabo ilifa layo kaliphiwe abafowabo bakayise.
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.
Nxa uyise engelabafowabo, ilifa layo kaliphiwe oyisihlobo esiseduze kwabosendo lwayo, ukuze libe ngelakhe. Lokho kumele kube ngumthetho oyisimiso kwabako-Israyeli, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.’”
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.
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Khwela entabeni le yase-Abharimi ukuze ubone ilizwe engilinike abako-Israyeli.
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:
Ngemva kokuba usulibonile, lawe uzalandela abakini, ufe njengomfowenu u-Aroni,
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.
ngoba ekuhlamukeni kwabantu emanzini asenkangala yaseZini, lina lobabili kalilandelanga ukulaya kwami, ukungidumisa ngobungcwele bami emehlweni abo.” (La ayengamanzi aseMeribha Khadeshi, enkangala yaseZini.)
15 A i korero a Mohi ki a Ihowa, i mea,
UMosi wathi kuThixo,
16 Kia whakaritea e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga wairua o nga kikokiko katoa, tetahi tangata mo te whakaminenga,
“Akuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wemimoya yabantu bonke akhethe indoda ezakhokhela abantu laba
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.
ekuphumeni lasekungeneni, lowo ozabakhokhela ekuphumeni lekungeneni kwabo, ukuze abantu bakaThixo bangafanani lezimvu ezingelamelusi.”
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:
Ngakho uThixo wathi kuMosi, “Thatha uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, indoda elomoya wobukhokheli, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo.
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.
Umise phambi kuka-Eliyazari umphristi laphambi kwebandla lonke ubusumbeka esikhundleni phambi kwabo.
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.
Umnike ingxenye yamandla akho ukuze isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli simlalele.
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.
Kumele ame phambi kuka-Eliyazari umphristi, yena ozamtholela izinqumo ngokubuza i-Urimi phambi kukaThixo. Ngokulawula kwakhe yena kanye labantu bonke bako-Israyeli bazaphuma, kuthi njalo ngokulawula kwakhe bangene.”
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:
UMosi wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo. Wathatha uJoshuwa wamisa phambi kuka-Eliyazari umphristi kanye laphambi kwebandla lonke.
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.
Wasebeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe embeka esikhundleni, njengokulaya kukaThixo ngoMosi.
