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.

Nyi Zelofehad wuod Hefer, ma wuod Gilead, ma wuod Makir, ma wuod Manase, ne gin joka Manase wuod Josef. Nyirigo ne gin Mala, Nowa, Hogla, Milka kod Tirza. Negisudo machiegni gi

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,

kar donjo mar Hemb Romo mi gichungʼ e nyim Musa, Eliazar jadolo, jotelo kod chokruok mar oganda duto, mi giwacho niya,

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.

“Wuonwa notho e thim. Ne ok en achiel kuom jolup Kora, mane okwedo Jehova Nyasaye, to notho nikech richone owuon kendo ne ok onywolo yawuowi.

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.”

Angʼo ma dimi nying wuonwa lal nono e anywolagi nikech ne ok onywolo wuowi? Yie upognwa kamoro e kind wede wuonwa.”

5 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.

Omiyo Musa nokelo wachgini e nyim Jehova Nyasaye

6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya,

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.

“Gima nyi Zelofehad owacho nikare. Nyaka ipog-gi gimoro kaka girkeni ei wede wuon-gi kendo girkeni mag wuon-gi imigi.

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.

“Wachne jo-Israel ni, ‘Ka dichwo otho ma ok onywolo wuowi, to ipog nyathine ma nyako girkeni mare.

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

To ka oonge gi nyako, to ipog owetene girkeni mare.

10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

To ka oonge gi owete, to ipog owete gi wuonene girkeni mare.

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.’”

To ka wuon-gi onge gi owetene, to ipog watne moro amora machiegni kode e anywolagi, mondo oyud girkenino. Mae nobed chik ne jo-Israel, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.’”

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.

Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Dhi malo e Got Abarim kendo ingʼi piny ma asemiyo jo-Israel.

13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;

Bangʼ ka isenene, to in bende ibiro tho miluw kwereni, mana kaka owadu Harun notho,

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.)

nimar e kinde mane oganda ongʼanyo e sokni mantiere e Thim mar Zin, un duto ne ok urito chikna kendo nyiso oganda ni an Ngʼama Ler.” (Magi ne sokni mag Meriba Kadesh, mantiere e Thim mar Zin.)

15 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,

Musa nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye ni,

16 “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

“Mad Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach chunje duto mag dhano, oyier jatelo manyalo rito ogandani

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.”

mondo otelnegi e gik moko duto ma gitimo kendo oritgi kagiwuok kendo ka gidwogo dala mondo oganda Jehova Nyasaye kik chal gi rombe maonge jokwath.”

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

Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kaw Joshua wuod Nun, ngʼat man-gi Roho, kendo yie lweti kuome.

19 Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

Kete ochungʼ e nyim Eliazar jadolo kod chokruok duto mar oganda kendo ipwodhe e nyimgi.

20 You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

Miye tekoni moko mondo mi oganda jo-Israel duto omiye luor.

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.”

Nyaka ochungʼ e nyim jadolo Eliazar, mabiro ngʼadone rieko kopenjo Urim e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Kogolo chik, to en kod oganda jo-Israel duto nowuog oko, kendo kogolo chik to gibiro donjo iye.”

22 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

Musa notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike. Nokawo Joshua mi otero e nyim Eliazar jadolo gi chokruok duto.

23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.

Eka noyieyo lwete kuome mi opwodhe, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
