Lakkoobsa 27
1 Balbala Minaasee ilma Yoosef keessaas intallan Zelofehaad ilma Heefer, ilma Giliʼaad, ilma Maakiirii fi ilma Minaaseetu dhiʼaate. Maqaan intallan sanaas Mahilaa, Nohii, Hoglaa, Miilkaa fi Tiirzaa dha.
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 Isaanis balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii dura, fuula Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichaa dura, fuula hooggantootaatii fi waldaa hundaa dura dhaabatanii akkana jedhan;
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 “Abbaan keenya Gammoojjii keessatti duʼe. Inni hooggantoota Qooraahi kanneen Waaqayyotti fincilan sana keessa hin turre. Garuu inni cubbudhuma ofii isaatiin duʼe. Ilmaanis hin qabu ture.
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 Maaliif maqaan abbaa keenyaa sababii inni ilma hin qabneef balbala isaa keessaa bada? Firoota abbaa keenyaa gidduutti dhaala nuu kenni.”
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 Museen dubbii isaanii sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeesse;
So Moses put their cause before the Lord.
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedheen;
And the Lord said to Moses,
7 “Wanni intallan Zelofehaad jedhan kun sirrii dha. Atis firoota abbaa isaanii gidduutti dhaala kenniif; dhaala abbaa isaaniis isaaniif dabarsi.
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 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Yoo namni utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, dhaala isaa intala isaatiif dabarsaa.
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 Yoo inni intalas qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota isaatiif kennaa.
And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.
10 Yoo inni obboloota qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota abbaa isaatiif kennaa.
And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.
11 Yoo abbaan isaa obboloota qabaachuu baate immoo dhaala isaa balbala isaa keessaa fira aanteef kennaa; firri sun haa dhaalu. Kunis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sanatti saba Israaʼeliif sirna seera qabeessa haa taʼu.’”
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Tulluu Abaariim kanatti ol baʼiitii biyya ani saba Israaʼeliif kenne ilaali.
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 Erga biyya sana argitee booddee atis akkuma obboleessa kee Aroon gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta;
And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:
14 yeroo waldaan Gammoojjii Siin keessatti natti finciletti isin lachanuus ajaja kootti finciltanii turtaniitii. Isin bishaanota sana biratti fuula isaanii duratti qulqullina koo hin mulʼifne.” Bishaanonni kunneenis bishaanota Mariibaa Qaadesh kan Gammoojjii Siin keessa jiranii dha.
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 Museenis Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe;
Then Moses said to the Lord,
16 “Waaqayyo Waaqni hafuurota nama hundaa waldaa kana irratti nama tokko haa muudu;
Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,
17 namichi kunis akka sabni Waaqayyoo akkuma hoolota tiksee hin qabnee hin taaneef kan isaan dura gad baʼuu fi ol galu, kan gad isaan baasuu fi ol isaan galchuu dha.”
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni, namicha hafuurri keessa jiru sana fuudhii harka kee isa irra kaaʼi.
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 Akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhi; fuuluma isaanii durattis isa muudi.
And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.
20 Akka sabni Israaʼel hundi isaaf ajajamuuf aangoo kee irraa kenniif.
And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.
21 Innis fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaa kan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti Uriimiidhaan gaafatee murtii isaaf kennuu dura dhaabachuu qaba. Innii fi waldaan Israaʼelootaa hundi ajaja isaatiin baʼu; ajajuma isaatiinis galu.”
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 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe. Innis Iyyaasuu geessee akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhe.
So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:
23 Ergasiis akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajaje sana harka ofii isaa isa irra kaaʼee isa muude.
And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
