Numbers 27
1 Then drew near 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; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Na rĩrĩ, airĩtu acio a Zelofehadi mũrũ wa Heferi mũrũ wa Gileadi, mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase maarĩ a mbarĩ cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu. Marĩĩtwa ma airĩtu acio maarĩ Mahala, na Noa, na Hogila, na Milika, na Tiriza. Nĩmathiire, magĩkuhĩrĩria
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,
itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, makĩrũgama mbere ya Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya atongoria, o na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, makiuga atĩrĩ,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
“Ithe witũ aakuĩrĩire werũ-inĩ. Ndaarĩ ũmwe wa arũmĩrĩri a Kora, arĩa manyiitanire mokĩrĩre Jehova, no aakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene na ndaarĩ na aanake.
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩa awa rĩniinwo mbarĩ-inĩ yao, nĩ ũndũ atĩ ndaarĩ na mwanake? Tũhei igai hamwe na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe witũ.”
5 And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtwarĩra Jehova ũhoro ũcio wao,
6 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
“Ũguo airĩtu a Zelofehadi maroiga nĩ kĩhooto. Ti-itherũ nĩ wega ũmaheanĩrie igai rĩao na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe wao, o narĩo igai rĩa ithe wao ũmahe.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ angĩkua na ndatige mwana wa kahĩĩ, mwarĩ nĩaheo igai rĩake.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na mũirĩtu-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina igai rĩake.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
Angĩgakorwo atarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai ariũ a nyina na ithe igai rĩake.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Angĩkorwo ithe ndaarĩ na ariũ a nyina-rĩ, heagai mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao ũrĩa marĩ a igai rĩake, nĩguo rĩtuĩke rĩake. Ũndũ ũcio ũgũtuĩka watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa.’”
12 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra wambate kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ, kũu rũgongo rwa Abarimu, wĩrorere bũrũri ũrĩa heete andũ a Isiraeli.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered;
Warĩkia kũwona, we nĩũgũkua o ta ũrĩa Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa aakuire, na ũcookanĩrĩrio na andũ anyu,
14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩanemeire hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Werũ wa Zini, wee na Harũni inyuĩ eerĩ mũtiathĩkĩire watho wakwa, nĩmwagire kũndĩĩithia nĩguo muonanie atĩ ndĩ mũtheru mbere ya maitho mao.” (Maaĩ macio nĩ marĩa ma Meriba Kadeshi, Werũ-inĩ wa Zini.)
15 And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ,
16 Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Jehova-Ngai wa maroho ma andũ othe, nĩagĩthuure mũndũ atuĩke mũrori wa kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ,
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 Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
atwaranage nakĩo gĩkiumagara na gĩkĩinũka, ũrĩa ũrĩgĩtongoragia gĩgĩthiĩ na gĩgĩcooka, nĩguo kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova gĩtigatuĩke ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi.”
18 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho thĩinĩ wake, na ũmũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku.
19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
Mũrũgamie mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe ũmũtue mũtongoria wao hau mbere yao.
20 And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Ũmũhe ũhoti ũmwe waku, nĩgeetha kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩmwathĩkagĩre.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
Nake arũgamage mbere ya Eleazaru ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩmũtuĩragĩria ũhoro na ũndũ wa kũũria Urimu mbere ya Jehova. Rĩrĩa aathana, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara, ningĩ aathana rĩngĩ makainũka.”
22 And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũguo Jehova aamwathĩte. Akĩoya Joshua, na akĩmũrũgamia mbere ya Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o na mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
23 and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.
Ningĩ akĩmũigĩrĩra moko make na akĩmũtua mũtongoria wao o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
