1 Kwasekusondela inhloko zaboyise zensendo zabantwana bakoGileyadi indodana kaMakiri indodana kaManase, abosendo lwabantwana bakoJosefa, zakhuluma phambi kukaMozisi laphambi kweziphathamandla, inhloko zaboyise babantwana bakoIsrayeli,
Atsogoleri a mabanja a fuko la Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase omwe anali ochokera ku fuko la ana a Yosefe anabwera ndi kuyankhula ndi Mose, atsogoleri ndi akuluakulu a mabanja a Aisraeli.
2 zathi: INkosi yalaya inkosi yami ukuthi iphe abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilizwe njengelifa ngenkatho; futhi inkosi yami yalaywa yiNkosi ukuthi inike ilifa likaZelofehadi umfowethu kumadodakazi akhe.
Iwo anati, “Pamene Yehova analamula mbuye wanga kuti apereke dziko ngati cholowa kwa Aisraeli mwa maere, anakulamulani inu kupereka cholowa cha mʼbale wathu Zelofehadi kwa ana ake aakazi.
3 Uba esendela kwenye yamadodana ezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ilifa lawo lizasuswa elifeni labobaba, lengezelelwe elifeni lalesosizwe azakuba ngawaso; ngalokho lizasuswa kunkatho yelifa lethu.
Tsopano ngati akwatiwa ndi aamuna ochokera ku mafuko ena a mitundu ya Aisraeli, cholowa chawo chidzatengedwa kuchoka pa cholowa cha makolo athu ndipo adzachiwonjezera ku fuko limene akwatiwakolo. Ndipo gawo lina la cholowacho, lopatsidwa kwa ife lidzatengedwa.
4 Lalapho kuzakuba lijubili labantwana bakoIsrayeli, ilifa lawo lizakwengezelelwa elifeni lalesosizwe azakuba ngawaso; ngalokho ilifa lawo lizasuswa elifeni lesizwe sabobaba.
Pamene chaka cha chikondwerero cha zaka makumi asanu, cha Aisraeli chafika, cholowa chawo chidzawonjezeredwa ku fuko limene iwo akwatiwako. Ndipo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa cholowa cha fuko la makolo athu.”
5 UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngokomlomo weNkosi esithi: Isizwe sabantwana bakoJosefa sikhulume kuhle.
Tsono mwa lamulo la Yehova, Mose anapereka lamulo ili kwa Aisraeli: “Zimene ana a Yosefe akunena ndi zoona.
6 Le yinto iNkosi eyilayileyo mayelana lamadodakazi kaZelofehadi isithi: Kawendele kulabo abahle emehlweni awo, kodwa kawendele osendweni lwesizwe sikayise.
Izi ndi zimene Yehova akulamula kwa ana aakazi a Zelofehadi: Atha kukwatiwa ndi aliyense amene angakondweretsedwe naye koma zingakhale bwino atakwatiwa mʼfuko la abambo awo
7 Ngalokho ilifa labantwana bakoIsrayeli kalingabhodi lisuke esizweni liye esizweni, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazanamathela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lesizwe saboyise.
kuti cholowa cha Israeli chisapite ku fuko lina, pakuti Mwisraeli aliyense ayenera kusunga cholowa cha fuko la makolo ake.
8 Layileyo laleyo indodakazi edla ilifa esizweni sabantwana bakoIsrayeli izakwendela komunye wosendo wesizwe sikayise, ukuze abantwana bakoIsrayeli badle ilifa, omunye lomunye ilifa laboyise.
Mwana wamkazi aliyense amene adzalandira cholowa cha dziko la fuko lililonse la Israeli ayenera kukwatiwa ndi munthu wa fuko la abambo ake.
9 Ngalokho ilifa kaliyikubhoda lisuke esizweni liye kwesinye isizwe, ngoba izizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli zizanamathela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lakhe.
Cholowa chilichonse mu Israeli sichiyenera kupita ku fuko lina, popeza fuko lililonse la Israeli liyenera kusunga cholowa chimene linalandira.”
10 Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi enza njalo amadodakazi kaZelofehadi;
Choncho ana aakazi a Zelofehadi anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
11 ngoba uMahla, uTiriza, loHogila, loMilka, loNowa, amadodakazi kaZelofehadi, endela emadodaneni abafowabo bakayise.
Ana aakazi a Zelofehadi amene ndi Mahila, Tiriza, Hogila, Milika ndi Nowa, anakwatiwa ndi asuweni awo a ku mbali ya abambo awo.
12 Endela kunsendo zabantwana bakoManase indodana kaJosefa, lelifa lawo lahlala esizweni sosendo lukayise.
Anakwatiwa mʼmafuko a zidzukulu za Manase mwana wa Yosefe, ndipo cholowa chawo chinakhalabe mʼfuko la abambo awo.
13 Le yimilayo lezahlulelo iNkosi eyazilaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngesandla sikaMozisi emagcekeni akoMowabi eJordani eJeriko.
Awa ndi malamulo ndi malangizo amene Yehova anapereka kwa Aisraeli kupyolera mwa Mose ku chigwa cha Mowabu mʼmbali mwa Yorodani, ku Yeriko.
