Abawala ba Zerofekadi mutabani wa Keferi, mutabani wa Gireyaadi, mutabani wa Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, baali ba mu kika kya Manase mutabani wa Yusufu. Amannya g’abawala abo nga ge gano: Maala, ne Noowa, ne Kogula, ne Mirika ne Tiruza.
2 Asesima phambi kukaMozisi, laphambi kukaEleyazare umpristi, laphambi kweziphathamandla, lenhlangano yonke, emnyango wethente lenhlangano, esithi:
Lwali lumu, ne bajja okumpi n’omulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’abakulembeze n’ag’ekibiina kyonna, ne bagamba nti,
3 Ubaba wafela enkangala; kodwa yena wayengekho phakathi kweqembu lalabo ababuthana ukumelana leNkosi, eqenjini likaKora, kodwa wafa esonweni sakhe, wayengelamadodana.
“Kitaffe yafiira mu ddungu. Teyali omu ku bajeemu abagoberezi ba Koola abaajeemera Mukama; naye ye yafa bufi lwa bibi bye, naye teyalekawo baana babulenzi.
4 Kungani ibizo likababa likhutshwe phakathi kosendo lwakhe ngoba engelandodana? Siphe ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakababa.
Lwaki erinnya lya kitaffe mu kika linaabulamu olw’obutazaala mwana wabulenzi? Mutuwe omugabo mu baganda ba kitaffe.”
5 UMozisi waseluletha udaba lwawo phambi kweNkosi.
Musa n’aleeta ensonga zaabwe awali Mukama Katonda.
6 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
7 Amadodakazi kaZelofehadi akhulume iqiniso; uzawanika lokuwanika isabelo selifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise; uzadlulisela kuwo ilifa likayise.
“Abawala ba Zerofekadi kye bagamba kituufu; bafunire omugabo ogw’obutaka awamu ne baganda ba kitaabwe, era n’omugabo gwa kitaabwe gubaweebwe.
8 Njalo uzakhuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli usithi: Uba indoda isifa, ingelandodana, lizadlulisela ilifa layo kundodakazi yayo.
“Era gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Omusajja bw’anaafanga nga taleseewo mwana wabulenzi, kale omugabo gwe ogw’obusika bwe gunaaweebwanga omwana we omuwala.
9 Njalo uba ingelandodakazi, lizanika abafowabo ilifa layo.
Bw’ataabenga na mwana wabuwala, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda be.
10 Uba-ke ingelabafowabo, lizanika ilifa layo kubafowabo bakayise.
Bw’anaabanga talina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga baganda ba kitaawe.
11 Njalo uba uyise engelabafowabo, lizanika ilifa layo esihlotsheni sayo esiseduze layo sosendo lwayo, silidle. Njalo kuzakuba yisimiso sesahlulelo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
Kitaawe bw’aba nga teyalina baganda be, omugabo gwe onooguwanga owooluganda asinga okuba ow’okumpi mu kika kye, oyo y’anaagutwalanga. Eryo linaabanga tteeka erinaakwatibwanga abaana ba Isirayiri, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.’”
12 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yenyukela kule intaba yeAbarimi, ubone ilizwe engilinike abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka waggulu ku lusozi luno Abalimu olengere ensi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirayiri.
13 Lapho usulibonile, lawe uzabuthelwa ebantwini bakini, njengoAroni umnewenu wabuthwa;
Bw’onoomala okugiraba, naawe ojja kugenda abantu bo bonna gye baalaga, nga bwe kyali ne ku muganda wo Alooni,
14 njengokuba lavukela umlayo wami enkangala yeZini, ekuphikisaneni kwenhlangano, ukungingcwelisa phambi kwamehlo abo. La ngamanzi eMeriba eKadeshi enkangala yeZini.
kubanga mwembi mwajeemera ekigambo kyange, abantu bwe baajagalala mu ddungu lya Zini ne mutampeesa kitiibwa ng’omutukuvu mu maaso gaabwe.” Ago ge gaali amazzi ag’e Meriba mu Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini.
15 UMozisi wasekhuluma eNkosini esithi:
Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti,
16 INkosi, uNkulunkulu wemimoya yenyama yonke, kayimise indoda enhlanganweni,
“Mukama Katonda w’emyoyo gy’abantu bonna, alonde omusajja okulabirira ekibiina kino,
17 engaphuma phambi kwabo, lengangena phambi kwabo, lengabakhokhela baphume, lengabangenisa, ukuze inhlangano yeNkosi ingabi njengezimvu ezingelamelusi.
afulumenga era ayingirenga mu maaso gaabwe, omuntu anaabafulumyanga era anaabayingizanga, abantu ba Mukama baleme okuba ng’endiga ezitaliiko musumba.”
18 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zithathele uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, indoda okukuyo umoya, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Twala Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omusajja alimu omwoyo, omusseeko omukono gwo.
19 uyimise phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kwenhlangano yonke, uyilaye phambi kwamehlo abo,
Muyimirize mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna, omukuutirire mu maaso gaabwe.
20 ubusubeka okodumo lwakho phezu kwayo, ukuze inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli ilalele.
Mukwase ekitundu ky’obuyinza bwo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri batandike okumugondera.
21 Njalo izakuma phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi ozayibuzela njengokwesahlulelo sikaUrimi phambi kweNkosi; ngomlomo wayo bazaphuma, langomlomo wayo bazangena, yona labantwana bonke bakoIsrayeli kanye layo, ngitsho inhlangano yonke.
Anajjanga n’ayimirira mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona anaamutegeezanga ebinaabanga bisaliddwawo ng’akozesa Ulimu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, bw’anaalagiranga banaafulumanga, era bw’anaalagiranga banaayingiranga.”
22 UMozisi wasesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuye. Wathatha uJoshuwa, wammisa phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kwenhlangano yonke,
Awo Musa n’akola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira. Yatwala Yoswa n’amuyimiriza mu maaso ga Eriyazaali kabona, ne mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna.
23 wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe, wamlaya, njengokukhuluma kweNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
Bw’atyo n’amussaako emikono gye, n’amukuutira, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
