Numbers 27
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
Kenaka ana aakazi a Zelofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wamwamuna wa Manase, a mʼmabanja a Manase, mwana wa Yosefe anabwera. Mayina a ana aakaziwo anali awa: Mala, Nowa, Hogila, Milika ndi Tiriza. Iwo anakayima
2 And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Mose, wansembe Eliezara, atsogoleri ndi anthu onse, ndipo anati,
3 Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.
“Abambo athu anafera mʼchipululu koma sanali nawo mʼgulu la anthu otsatira Kora, omwe anasonkhana pamodzi kutsutsana ndi Yehova. Abambo athuwo anafa chifukwa cha tchimo lawo ndipo sanasiye ana aamuna.
4 Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani dzina la abambo athu lasowa pakati pa fuko lawo, kodi popeza analibe mwana wamwamuna? Tipatseni cholowa chathu pakati pa abale a abambo athu.”
5 Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
Tsono Mose anabweretsa nkhani yawo pamaso pa Yehova
6 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.
“Zimene ana aakazi a Zelofehadi akunena ndi zoona. Uyenera kuwapatsadi cholowa chawo pakati pa abale a abambo awo ndipo uwapatse cholowa cha abambo awowo.
8 Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ngati munthu afa wosasiya mwana wamwamuna, muzipereka cholowa chake kwa mwana wake wamkazi.
9 And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.
Ngati alibe mwana wamkazi, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa abale ake.
10 And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
Ngati alibe abale muzipereka cholowa chake kwa abale a abambo ake.
11 And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
Ngati abambo ake analibe mʼbale, muzipereka cholowa chakecho kwa mnansi wake wa mʼbanja lake kuti chikhale chake. Ili likhale lamulo kwa Aisraeli, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.’”
12 Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Kwera phiri la Abarimu kuti ukaone dziko limene ndalipereka kwa Aisraeli.
13 And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Ukakaliona udzamwalira ngati Aaroni mʼbale wako,
14 For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.
chifukwa pamene anthu anawukira ku madzi a Meriba mʼchipululu cha Zini, inu nonse simunamvere lamulo londilemekeza Ine ngati Woyera pamaso pawo.” (Awa anali madzi a ku Meriba ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Zini).
15 Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,
Mose anati kwa Yehova,
16 Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,
“Ngati nʼkotheka Yehova, Mulungu wa mizimu ya anthu onse, sankhani munthu woti ayangʼanire gulu ili kuti
17 Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.
alitsogolere potuluka ndi polowa, kuti anthu a Yehova asakhale ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa.”
18 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, munthu amene ali ndi mzimu wa utsogoleri, ndipo umusanjike dzanja lako.
19 And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.
Umuyimiritse pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse ndipo umupatse mphamvu zolamulira, anthuwo akuona.
20 And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.
Umupatse gawo lina la ulemerero wako kuti Aisraeli onse azimumvera.
21 And he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.
Ayime pamaso pa wansembe Eliezara, amene adzamudziwitse zimene Yehova akufuna pogwiritsa ntchito Urimu. Iye akalamula, Aisraeli onse azituluka ndipo akalamulanso, Aisraeliwo azibwereranso.”
22 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira. Anatenga Yoswa ndi kumuyimiritsa pamaso pa Eliezara wansembe ndi pamaso pa gulu lonse.
23 Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
Ndipo anamusanjika manja ndi kumupatsa mphamvu, monga Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa Mose.
