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 to Moses came the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, 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 stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and before all the community at the entrance to the tent of meeting. They 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 wilderness. He was not among those who conspired against Yahweh in the company of Korah. He died for his own 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 should our father's name be taken away from among his clan members because he had no son? Give us land among our father's relatives.”
5 Museen dubbii isaanii sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeesse;
So Moses brought their case before Yahweh.
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedheen;
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
7 “Wanni intallan Zelofehaad jedhan kun sirrii dha. Atis firoota abbaa isaanii gidduutti dhaala kenniif; dhaala abbaa isaaniis isaaniif dabarsi.
“Zelophehad's daughters are speaking correctly. You must certainly give them land as an inheritance among their father's relatives, and you must ensure that their father's inheritance passes on to them.
8 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Yoo namni utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, dhaala isaa intala isaatiif dabarsaa.
You must speak to the people of Israel and say, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you must cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 Yoo inni intalas qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota isaatiif kennaa.
If he has no daughter, then you must give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 Yoo inni obboloota qabaachuu baate dhaala isaa obboloota abbaa isaatiif kennaa.
If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance 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.’”
If his father has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his clan, and he must take it for his own. This will be a law established by decree for the people of Israel, as Yahweh has commanded me.'”
12 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Tulluu Abaariim kanatti ol baʼiitii biyya ani saba Israaʼeliif kenne ilaali.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up the mountains of Abarim and look at the land that I have given to the people of Israel.
13 Erga biyya sana argitee booddee atis akkuma obboleessa kee Aroon gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta;
After you have seen it, you, too, must be gathered to your people, like Aaron your brother.
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.
This will happen because you two rebelled against my command in the wilderness of Zin. There, when the water flowed from the rock, in your anger you failed to honor me as holy before the eyes of the whole community.” These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Museenis Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe;
Then Moses spoke to Yahweh and said,
16 “Waaqayyo Waaqni hafuurota nama hundaa waldaa kana irratti nama tokko haa muudu;
“May you, Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all humanity, appoint a man over the community,
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.”
a man who may go out and come in before them and lead them out and bring them in, so that your community is not like sheep that have no shepherd.”
18 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni, namicha hafuurri keessa jiru sana fuudhii harka kee isa irra kaaʼi.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom my Spirit lives, and lay your hand on him.
19 Akka inni fuula Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel hundaa dura dhaabatu godhi; fuuluma isaanii durattis isa muudi.
Place him before Eleazar the priest and before all the community, and command him before their eyes to lead them.
20 Akka sabni Israaʼel hundi isaaf ajajamuuf aangoo kee irraa kenniif.
You must put some of your authority on him, so that all the community of the people of Israel may obey 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.”
He will go before Eleazar the priest to seek my will for him by the decisions of the Urim. It will be at his command that the people will go out and come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole community.”
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 Yahweh had commanded him. He took Joshua and placed him before Eleazar the priest and all the community.
23 Ergasiis akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajaje sana harka ofii isaa isa irra kaaʼee isa muude.
He laid his hands on him and commanded him to lead, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
