Numbers 27
1 Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Bana basi ya Tselofikadi, mwana mobali ya Eferi, mwana mobali ya Galadi, mwana mobali ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase bazalaki bakitani ya libota ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi. Bakombo na bango ezalaki: Mala, Noa, Ogila, Milika mpe Tiritsa. Bayaki
2 They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
liboso ya Moyize, ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe ya bakambi ya lisanga mobimba, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe balobaki:
3 “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.
« Tata na biso akufaki na esobe. Azalaki te na molongo na bato oyo bazalaki kolanda Kore, oyo basanganaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Yawe, kasi akufaki mpo na masumu na ye moko mpe atikaki bana mibali te.
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”
Bongo mpo na nini kombo ya tata na biso elimwa kaka boye na libota na ye, mpo ete azalaki na mwana mobali te? Pesa biso mpe eteni ya mabele kati na bandeko ya tata na biso. »
5 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
Boye, Moyize amemaki likambo na bango liboso ya Yawe.
6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
« Makambo oyo bana basi ya Tselofikadi bazali koloba ezali solo. Osengeli kopesa bango eteni ya mabele lokola libula kati na bandeko ya tata na bango mpe pesa bango libula ya tata na bango.
8 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki moto moko asili kokufa mpe atiki bana mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya mwana na ye ya mwasi.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Soki mpe azali na mwana mwasi te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Soki mpe azali na bandeko mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya bandeko mibali ya tata na ye.
11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’”
Bongo, soki tata na ye azalaki mpe na bandeko mibali te, bokopesa libula na ye epai ya ndeko ya pene ya libota ya tata na ye; ye nde akokitana na yango. Oyo ekozala mpo na Isalaele, mobeko oyo bosengeli kolanda ndenge Yawe alobaki na Moyize. › »
12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mata likolo ya bangomba ya Abarimi, mpe tala mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Sima na yo komona yango, yo mpe okokende kosangana na bakoko na yo na mokili ya bakufi ndenge moko na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali,
14 because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honor me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
pamba te tango lisanga ya bato batombokaki mpo na mayi, na esobe ya Tsini, bino mpe botosaki mitindo na Ngai te mpe bopesaki lokumu te na bosantu na Ngai na miso na bango. Ezalaki nde mayi ya Meriba ya Kadeshi, na esobe ya Tsini.
15 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
Moyize alobaki na Yawe:
16 “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
— Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe oyo apesaka pema na bato nyonso, apona moto moko mpo ete akamba lingomba oyo;
17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of Yahweh may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”
moto oyo akobanda kobima mpe kokota liboso na bango, oyo akobanda kobimisa mpe kokotisa bango mpo ete bato na Yawe bazala te lokola bibwele oyo ezanga mobateli.
18 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Kamata Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, moto oyo azali na molimo mpe tia ye maboko na yo.
19 Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Mema ye liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe ya lingomba mobimba ya bato, bongo okopesa ye mosala na miso na bango.
20 You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Pesa ye ndambo ya bokonzi na yo mpo ete lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele bakoka kotosa ye.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”
Akokende kotelema liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, oyo akotuna mokano na Yawe mpo na ye, na nzela na Urimi. Na mokano wana nde, ye mpe lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele bakobanda kobima mpe kokota.
22 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
Moyize asalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki ye. Akamataki Jozue mpe atelemisaki ye liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele.
23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.
Atiaki ye maboko mpe apesaki ye mosala, ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
