Tirintii 27

1 Markaas waxaa soo dhowaaday gabdhihii Selaafexaad ina Heefer ina Gilecaad oo ahaa ina Maakiir ina Manaseh, oo ahaa reer Manaseh ina Yuusuf; oo magacyadii gabdhihiisiina waa kuwan: Maxlaah iyo Nocaah iyo Xoglaah iyo Milkaah iyo Tirsaah.

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 Oo iyana markaasay is-hor taageen Muuse, iyo wadaadkii Elecaasaar ahaa, iyo amiirradii iyo shirka oo dhan, xagga iriddii teendhada shirka, oo waxay yidhaahdeen,

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 Aabbahayo wuxuu ku dhintay cidladii, laakiinse isagu kuma uu jirin kooxdii is-urursatay oo Rabbiga geesta ka ahayd, oo kooxdii Qorax ahayd, illowse isagu wuxuu u dhintay dembi uu isagu lahaa, oo isagu wiilalna ma uu lahayn.

“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 In kastoo uusan wiilal lahayn magicii aabbahayo maxaa qabiilkiisa looga dhex baabbi'inayaa? Haddaba aabbahayo walaalihiis dhul dhaxal ah nagu dhex sii.

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 Markaasaa Muuse arrintoodii keenay Rabbiga hortiisa.

So Moses brought their case before Yahweh.

6 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

7 Gabdhaha Selaafexaad wax qumman bay ku hadleen. Haddaba hubaal waa inaad dhul dhaxal ah aabbahood walaalihiis ka dhex siisaa, oo waa inaad iyaga aabbahood ka dhaxalsiisaa.

“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 Oo waa inaad reer binu Israa'iil la hadashaa, oo waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Haddii nin dhinto oo uusan wiil lahayn, markaas waa inaad gabadhiisa dhaxalsiisaan.

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 Oo hadduusan gabadhna lahayn, markaas waa inaad dhaxalsiisaan walaalihiis.

If he has no daughter, then you must give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 Oo hadduusan walaalo lahaynna markaas waa inaad adeerradiis dhaxalsiisaan.

If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

11 Oo hadduusan aabbihiis walaalo lahaynna markaas waa inaad dhaxalsiisaan mid xigtadiisa ah oo isagu ha lahaado. Oo taasu qaynuun xukun ah bay u ahaan doontaa reer binu Israa'iil, sida Rabbigu Muuse ku amray.

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 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Buurtan Cabaariim soo fuul, oo bal fiiri dalka aan reer binu Israa'iil siiyey.

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 Oo markaad aragtid dabadeed dadkaagii dhintay waad ku darman doontaa, sidii walaalkaa Haaruunba ugu darmaday,

After you have seen it, you, too, must be gathered to your people, like Aaron your brother.

14 maxaa yeelay, eraygayga baad kaga caasideen cidladii Sin markay dadka shirku dirireen ee aad aniga quduus igaga dhigi weydeen biyaha agtooda, iyagoo u jeeda. (Kuwaasu waa biyihii Meriibaah oo ku yaal Qaadeesh oo ah cidlada Sin.)

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 Markaasaa Muuse Rabbiga la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then Moses spoke to Yahweh and said,

16 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ruuxyada binu-aadmiga oo dhan, ha doorto nin u taliya shirka,

“May you, Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all humanity, appoint a man over the community,

17 oo hortooda dibadda ugu baxa, oo hortooda gudaha soo gala, oo iyaga dibadda u hoggaamiya, oo gudaha soo geliya inaan shirka Rabbigu ahaan sidii ido aan idojir lahayn.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxaad soo waddaa Yashuuca ina Nuun oo ah nin Ruuxu ku jiro, oo gacanta dul saar isaga.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom my Spirit lives, and lay your hand on him.

19 Oo waxaad isaga soo hor taagtaa wadaadka Elecaasaar ah iyo shirka oo dhan, oo hortooda amar ku sii.

Place him before Eleazar the priest and before all the community, and command him before their eyes to lead them.

20 Oo waxaad isaga dul saartaa sharaftaadii, si shirka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ay isaga u addeecaan.

You must put some of your authority on him, so that all the community of the people of Israel may obey him.

21 Oo isagu waa inuu is-hor taagaa wadaadka Elecaasaar ah oo isaga wax ugu weyddiin doona xukunka Uuriimka Rabbiga hortiisa. Iyagu eraygiisay dibadda ugu bixi doonaan, oo eraygiisay gudaha ku soo geli doonaan, isaga iyo reer binu Israa'iilka isaga la jiraaba, kuwaas oo ah shirka oo dhan.

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 Markaasaa Muuse yeelay sidii Rabbigu ku amray, oo wuxuu soo waday Yashuuca, kolkaasuu soo hor taagay wadaadkii Elecaasaar ahaa iyo shirkii oo dhan.

So Moses did as Yahweh had commanded him. He took Joshua and placed him before Eleazar the priest and all the community.

23 Oo gacmuhuu dul saaray, oo amar buu siiyey, sidii Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay.

He laid his hands on him and commanded him to lead, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
