Numbers 27
1 Then there approached the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Mahlah, and Noa, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Lè sa a, te gen nan branch fanmi Manase a senk fi, Mala, Noa, Ogla, Milka ak Tiza. Yo tout te pitit fi Zelochad. Zelochad sa a te pitit gason Efè. Efè te pitit gason Galarad, ki te pitit gason Maki, ki li menm te pitit gason Manase, ki te pitit gason Jozèf.
2 And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people, at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and they said:
Medam yo vini, yo kanpe devan Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, devan chèf fanmi yo ak devan tout pèp la, devan pòt Tant Randevou a, epi yo di:
3 “Our father died in the desert, and was not with the sedition, which was stirred up against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; he had no male sons. Why is his name taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.”
-Papa nou mouri nan dezè a san li pa kite okenn pitit gason. Li pa t' fè pati bann moun Kore yo ki te revòlte kont Seyè a. Se poutèt pwòp peche pa l' yo kifè li mouri san li pa t' gen tan gen pitit gason.
4 And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.
Se pa paske papa nou pa t' gen pitit gason kifè pou non li disparèt nan fanmi an. Ban nou yon pòsyon tè tou nan mitan fanmi papa nou.
5 And the Lord said to him:
Moyiz al pale koze a avèk Seyè a.
6 “The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
Seyè a di l' konsa;
7 And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:
-Pitit fi Zelochad yo gen rezon. W'a ba yo yon pòsyon tè ki va rete pou yo nan mitan fanmi papa yo. W'a ba yo pòsyon tè ki te pou papa yo a.
8 When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.
Apre sa, w'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo konsa: Si yon moun mouri san li pa kite pitit gason, n'a renmèt pòsyon tè pa l' la bay pitit fi li yo.
9 If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.
Si li pa gen pitit fi, n'a renmèt pòsyon tè pa l' la bay frè l' yo.
10 But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.
Si li pa gen frè, n'a renmèt tè a bay frè papa l' yo.
11 But if he has no paternal uncles, the inheritance shall be given to those who are closest to him. And this shall be, for the sons of Israel, consecrated as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed Moses.”
Si papa l' pa t' gen frè, n'a renmèt li bay fanmi pi pre l' la. Epi tè a va rete pou li. Se pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv regleman sa a tankou yon lwa, jan mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te bay Moyiz lòd la.
12 The Lord also said to Moses: “Ascend onto this mountain, Abarim, and contemplate from there the land, which I will give to the sons of Israel.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Moute sou mòn Abarim. Voye je ou gade peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
13 And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.
Lè w'a fin wè li, ou pral mouri, tankou Arawon, frè ou la.
14 For you offended me in the desert of Sin at the Contradiction of the multitude; neither were you willing to sanctify me in their sight over the waters. These are the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh in the desert of Sin.”
paske nou tou de nou pa t' fè sa m' te di nou fè a nan dezè Zin lan. Lè pèp la t'ap chache m' kont bò sous dlo Meriba yo, nou te refize kite m' fè yo wè pouvwa mwen nan zafè dlo a. (Meriba se sous dlo bò Kadès nan dezè Zin lan.)
15 Moses answered him:
Lè sa a, Moyiz pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa:
16 “May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,
-O Seyè, Bondye ki bay tout moun lavi, tanpri, chwazi yon nonm ki ka mennen pèp la,
17 and who may be able to exit and enter before them, and who may lead them out or lead them in: lest the people of the Lord be like sheep without a shepherd.”
yon nonm ki ka mache alatèt yo nan tout antre soti yo, pou pèp ou a, pèp Seyè a, pa rete tankou yon bann mouton san gadò pou okipe yo.
18 And the Lord said to him: “Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is, and place your hand upon him.
Seyè a reponn Moyiz: -Pran Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan. Se yon nonm ki gen lespri Bondye k'ap travay nan kè l'. W'a mete men ou sou tèt li,
19 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.
epi w'a fè l' kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ak devan tout pèp la. Epi la, devan yo tout, w'a ba li tout lòd ou gen pou ba li.
20 And you shall give him the precepts in the sight of all, and a portion of your glory, so that the entire congregation of the sons of Israel may listen to him.
W'a separe avè l' pouvwa otorite ou genyen an, pou tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ka obeyi l'.
21 On his behalf, if anything is to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord. He, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude, shall go out and enter in at his word.”
L'a toujou kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ki va sèvi ak Ourim yo pou chache konnen sa mwen vle yo fè. Se konsa, Eleaza va dirije Jozye ak tout pèp la nan tout antre soti yo.
22 Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And when he had brought Joshua, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the entire gathering of the people.
Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a. Li pran Jozye, li fè l' kanpe devan Eleaza, prèt la, ak tout pèp la.
23 And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.
Li mete men l' sou tèt li, epi li ba li lòd li yo, jan Seyè a te di l' la.
