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.

And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, 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 before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,

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 wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.

4 Maaliif maqaan abbaa keenyaa sababii inni ilma hin qabneef balbala isaa keessaa bada? Firoota abbaa keenyaa gidduutti dhaala nuu kenni.”

And Moses brought their case before the Lord.

5 Museen dubbii isaanii sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeesse;

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6 Waaqayyos akkana jedheen;

The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and you shall assign their father's inheritance to them.

7 “Wanni intallan Zelofehaad jedhan kun sirrii dha. Atis firoota abbaa isaanii gidduutti dhaala kenniif; dhaala abbaa isaaniis isaaniif dabarsi.

And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,

8 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Yoo namni utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, dhaala isaa intala isaatiif dabarsaa.

If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.

9 Yoo inni intalas qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota isaatiif kennaa.

And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.

10 Yoo inni obboloota qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota abbaa isaatiif kennaa.

And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.

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 there be no brethren of his father, you shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded 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 to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.

13 Erga biyya sana argitee booddee atis akkuma obboleessa kee Aroon gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta;

And you shall see it, and you also shall be added to your people, as Aaron your brother was added [to them] in mount Or:

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 transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; you sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.

15 Museenis Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe;

And Moses said to the Lord,

16 “Waaqayyo Waaqni hafuurota nama hundaa waldaa kana irratti nama tokko haa muudu;

Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,

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.”

who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not 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 spoke to Moses, saying, Take to yourself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and you shall lay your hands upon him.

19 Akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhi; fuuluma isaanii durattis isa muudi.

And you shall set him before Eleazar the priest, and you shall give him a charge before all the congregation, and you shall give a charge concerning him before them.

20 Akka sabni Israaʼel hundi isaaf ajajamuuf aangoo kee irraa kenniif.

And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to 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.”

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.

22 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe. Innis Iyyaasuu geessee akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhe.

And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.

23 Ergasiis akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajaje sana harka ofii isaa isa irra kaaʼee isa muude.

And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
