Hesabu 27
1 Binti za Selofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Gileadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase, walikuwa wa koo za Manase mwana wa Yosefu. Majina ya hao binti yalikuwa Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka na Tirsa. Walikaribia
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
2 ingilio la Hema la Kukutania na kusimama mbele ya Mose, kuhani Eleazari, viongozi na kusanyiko lote, wakasema,
And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
3 “Baba yetu alikufa jangwani. Hakuwa miongoni mwa wafuasi wa Kora, ambao walifungamana pamoja dhidi ya Bwana, lakini alikufa kwa ajili ya dhambi yake mwenyewe na hakuacha wana.
Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.
4 Kwa nini jina la baba yetu lifutike kutoka ukoo wake kwa sababu hakuwa na mwana? Tupatie milki miongoni mwa ndugu za baba yetu.”
Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 Kwa hiyo Mose akalileta shauri lao mbele za Bwana,
Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 naye Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
7 “Wanachosema binti za Selofehadi ni sawa. Ni lazima kwa hakika uwape milki kama urithi miongoni mwa ndugu za baba yao, na kubadili urithi wa baba yao uwe wao.
The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.
8 “Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Ikiwa mtu atakufa naye hakuacha mwana, utampa binti yake urithi wake.
Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.
9 Ikiwa hana binti, wape ndugu zake wa kiume urithi wake.
And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.
10 Ikiwa hana ndugu wa kiume toa urithi wake kwa ndugu za baba yake.
And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
11 Ikiwa baba yake hakuwa na ndugu wa kiume, toa urithi wake kwa ndugu wa karibu katika ukoo wake, ili aumiliki. Hili litakuwa dai la sheria kwa Waisraeli, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.’”
And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Panda juu ya mlima huu katika kilele cha Abarimu uione nchi ambayo nimewapa Waisraeli.
Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.
13 Baada ya kuiona, wewe pia utakusanywa pamoja na watu wako kama ndugu yako Aroni alivyokusanywa,
And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 kwa kuwa jumuiya ilipoasi amri yangu kwenye maji katika Jangwa la Sini, wakati jumuiya ilipogombana nami, nyote wawili mliacha kuitii amri yangu ya kuniheshimu kama mtakatifu mbele ya macho yao.” (Haya yalikuwa maji ya Meriba huko Kadeshi, katika Jangwa la Sini.)
For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.
15 Mose akamwambia Bwana,
Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,
16 “Bwana, Mungu wa roho zote za wanadamu, na amteue mtu juu ya jumuiya hii
Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,
17 ili atoke na kuingia mbele yao, atakayewaongoza katika kutoka kwao na kuingia kwao, ili watu wa Bwana wasiwe kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji.”
Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.
18 Kwa hiyo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Mchukue Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, mtu ambaye Roho yuko ndani yake, uweke mkono juu yake.
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,
19 Msimamishe mbele ya kuhani Eleazari pamoja na kusanyiko lote, umpe maagizo mbele yao.
And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.
20 Mpe sehemu ya mamlaka yako ili jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli ipate kumtii.
And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.
21 Atasimama mbele ya kuhani Eleazari, ambaye atapokea maamuzi kwa ajili yake, kwa kuuliza mbele za Bwana kwa ile Urimu. Kwa amri yake, yeye na jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli watatoka, na kwa amri yake, wataingia.”
And he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.
22 Mose akafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza. Akamtwaa Yoshua na kumsimamisha mbele ya kuhani Eleazari na kusanyiko lote.
So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
23 Kisha akaweka mikono yake juu ya kichwa cha Yoshua na kumpa maagizo, kama vile Bwana alivyoelekeza kupitia kwa Mose.
Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
