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 came the daughters of Salphaad, the son of Hepher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Maala, and Noa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
2 Isaanis balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii dura, fuula Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichaa dura, fuula hooggantootaatii fi waldaa hundaa dura dhaabatanii akkana jedhan;
And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the people at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, 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.
Our father died in the desert, and was not in the sedition, that was raised against the Lord under Core, but he died in his own sin: and he had no male children. Why is his name taken away out of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.
4 Maaliif maqaan abbaa keenyaa sababii inni ilma hin qabneef balbala isaa keessaa bada? Firoota abbaa keenyaa gidduutti dhaala nuu kenni.”
And Moses referred their cause to the judgment of the Lord.
5 Museen dubbii isaanii sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeesse;
And the Lord said to him:
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedheen;
The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father’s kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7 “Wanni intallan Zelofehaad jedhan kun sirrii dha. Atis firoota abbaa isaanii gidduutti dhaala kenniif; dhaala abbaa isaaniis isaaniif dabarsi.
And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak these things:
8 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Yoo namni utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, dhaala isaa intala isaatiif dabarsaa.
When a man dieth without a son, his inheritance shall pass to his daughter.
9 Yoo inni intalas qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota isaatiif kennaa.
If he have no daughter, his brethren shall succeed him.
10 Yoo inni obboloota qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota abbaa isaatiif kennaa.
And if he have no brethren, you shall give the inheritance to his father’s brethren.
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.’”
But if he have no uncles by the father, the inheritance shall be given to them that are the next akin. And this shall be to the children of Israel sacred by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Tulluu Abaariim kanatti ol baʼiitii biyya ani saba Israaʼeliif kenne ilaali.
The Lord also said to Moses: Go up into this mountain Abarim, and view from thence the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
13 Erga biyya sana argitee booddee atis akkuma obboleessa kee Aroon gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta;
And when thou shalt have seen it, thou also shalt go to thy people, as thy brother Aaron is gone:
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 you offended me in the desert of Sin in the contradiction of the multitude, neither would you sanctify me before them at the waters. These are the waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin.
15 Museenis Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe;
And Moses answered him:
16 “Waaqayyo Waaqni hafuurota nama hundaa waldaa kana irratti nama tokko haa muudu;
May the Lord the God of the spirits of all flesh provide a man, that may be over this multitude:
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.”
And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni, namicha hafuurri keessa jiru sana fuudhii harka kee isa irra kaaʼi.
And the Lord said to him: Take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him.
19 Akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhi; fuuluma isaanii durattis isa muudi.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and all the multitude:
20 Akka sabni Israaʼel hundi isaaf ajajamuuf aangoo kee irraa kenniif.
And thou shalt give him precepts in the sight of all, and part of thy glory, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hear him.
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.”
If any thing be to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord for him. He and all the children of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude shall go out and go in at his word.
22 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe. Innis Iyyaasuu geessee akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhe.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when he had taken Josue, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and all the assembly of the people,
23 Ergasiis akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajaje sana harka ofii isaa isa irra kaaʼee isa muude.
And laying his hands on his head, he repeated all things that the Lord had commanded.
