Numbers 27
1 Ọmọbìnrin Selofehadi ọmọ Heferi, ọmọ Gileadi, ọmọ Makiri ọmọ Manase tó jẹ́ ìdílé Manase, ọmọ Josẹfu wá. Orúkọ àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà ni Mahila, Noa, Hogla, Milka àti Tirsa.
One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 Wọ́n súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé wọ́n sì dúró níwájú Mose, àti Eleasari àlùfáà, àti níwájú àwọn olórí àti ìjọ, wọ́n sì wí pé,
They came to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and stood in front of Eleazar, Moses/me, the tribal leaders, and many [EUP] other Israeli people.
3 “Baba wa kú sí aginjù. Kò sí lára àwọn ẹgbẹ́ Kora tí wọ́n kó ara wọn pọ̀ lòdì sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n ó kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò sì fi ọmọkùnrin sílẹ̀.
They said, “Our father died [during the time that we were] in the desert, and he did not have any sons. But he was not among those who supported Korah, who rebelled against Yahweh. He died just because he was a sinner [like everyone else].
4 Kín ni ó dé tí orúkọ baba wa yóò parẹ́ nínú ìdílé rẹ̀ nítorí pé kò ní ọmọkùnrin? Fún wa ní ilẹ̀ ìní láàrín àwọn arákùnrin baba wa.”
(Why should the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons.) [RHQ] So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!”
5 Nígbà náà Mose mú ọ̀rọ̀ wọn wá síwájú Olúwa.
So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
6 Olúwa sì wí fún un pé,
And Yahweh replied,
7 “Ohun tí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Selofehadi ń sọ tọ̀nà. O gbọdọ̀ fún wọn ní ogún ìní ti baba wọn.
“What the daughters of Zelophehad are requesting is right. You must give them some land, just as you are giving to their father’s relatives. Give to each of them some of the land that would have been given to their brothers [if they had any].
8 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ‘Tí ọkùnrin kan bá kú tí kò sì fi ọmọkùnrin sáyé, ẹ fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ogún ìní rẹ̀.
“Also tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a man who has no sons dies, give the things that his sons would have inherited to his daughters.
9 Tí kò bá ní ọmọbìnrin, fi ohun ìní rẹ́ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.
If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
10 Tí kò bá ní arákùnrin, fi ogún ìní rẹ̀ fún arákùnrin baba rẹ̀.
If the man had no brothers, give to his father’s brothers the things that his sons or daughters or brothers would have inherited.
11 Tí baba rẹ̀ kò bá ní arákùnrin, fún ará ilé rẹ̀ tí ó bá súnmọ́ jù ní ìdílé rẹ̀ ní ogún ìní rẹ̀, kí ó lè jogún rẹ̀. Èyí gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ìlànà ìdájọ́ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.’”
If the man’s father has no brothers, give to his closest relative the things that the others would have inherited.’ That will be a rule for the Israeli people, because I am giving this as a command to you, Moses, [to tell them].”
12 Nígbà náà Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Lọ sì orí òkè Abarimu yìí, kí o sì lọ wo ilẹ̀ tí mo fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
One day, Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Climb to the top of the Abarim Mountains [east of the Jordan River]. Then look out over the land that I am giving to the Israeli people.
13 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí o bá sì ti rí i, ìwọ náà yóò darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ ṣe ṣe,
After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] brother Aaron did.
14 nítorí nígbà tí ìlú ṣọ̀tẹ̀ níbi omi ní aginjù Sini, tí gbogbo yín ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí mi láti yà mí sí mímọ́ níwájú wọn.” (Èyí ni omi Meriba ní Kadeṣi ní aginjù Sini.)
The reason [that you will die and not enter that land] is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, [I told you to speak to the rock to cause] water to flow out of it. [But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it], you did not show the people my holy power.”
15 Mose sọ fún Olúwa wí pé,
Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
16 “Jẹ́ kí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ẹ̀mí gbogbo ènìyàn, kí ó yan ọkùnrin kan sí orí ìjọ ènìyàn yìí,
“Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
17 láti máa darí wọn, ẹni tí yóò mú wọn jáde, tí yóò sì mú wọn wọlé, gbogbo ènìyàn Olúwa kí yóò dàbí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́.”
Appoint someone who will lead your people when they go to fight a battle, so that they will not [just wander around] like sheep that do not have a shepherd.” [SIM]
18 Nígbà náà ní Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, ọkùnrin nínú ẹni tí èmi wà, kí o sì gbé ọwọ́ rẹ lé e.
Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
19 Jẹ́ kí ó dúró níwájú Eleasari àlùfáà àti ojú gbogbo àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli kí o sì fi àṣẹ fún un ní ojú wọn.
Cause him to stand in front of Eleazar the priest, as all the people are watching, and commission/appoint him to be the new leader of the Israeli people.
20 Kí ìwọ kí ó sì fi nínú ọláńlá rẹ sí i lára, kí gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí ó lè gbọ́rọ̀ sí i lẹ́nu.
Give to him some of the authority that you now have, in order that all the Israeli people will [know that they must] obey him.
21 Kí ó dúró níwájú Eleasari àlùfáà, tí yóò gba ìpinnu fún láti béèrè Urimu níwájú Olúwa. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin yìí ni òun pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli yóò jáde lọ, pẹ̀lú òfin rẹ̀ sì ni wọn ó wọlé.”
When you all need me to guide you, Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar. Then by (casting lots/throwing marked stones on the ground) Eleazar will find out what they should do.”
22 Mose sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ fún un. Ó mú Joṣua ó sì mú kí ó dúró níwájú Eleasari àlùfáà àti níwájú gbogbo ìjọ.
So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
23 Nígbà náà ni ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ le e, ó sì fi àṣẹ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Moses/I laid his/my hands on him and commissioned/appointed him to do the work that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell him to do.
