1Then 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.
1¶ Na ka haere mai nga tamahine a Teropehara tama a Hewhere, he tama hoki ia na Kirera, tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi; no nga hapu o Manahi, tama a Hohepa: a ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine; ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mirika, ko Tirita.
2They 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,
2A ka tu ratou ki te aroaro o Mohi, ki te aroaro hoki o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano o nga rangatira, o te whakaminenga katoa hoki, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a ka mea,
3“Our father died in the wilderness, and 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; and he had no sons.
3I mate to matou papa ki te koraha, kahore hoki ia i roto i te hui o te hunga i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Ihowa i roto i te hui a Koraha: engari i mate ia i runga i tona hara ake, kahore ano hoki ana tama.
4Why 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.”
4He aha i whakakorea ai te ingoa o to matou papa i roto i tona hapu, i a ia kahore nei i whai tama? Homai he wahi ki a matou i roto i nga teina o to matu papa.
5Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
5Na ka kawea ta ratou korero e Mohi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
6Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
7“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
7He tika nga korero a nga tamahine a Teropehara: me hoatu tetahi wahi ki a ratou hei kainga tupu i roto i nga teina o to ratou papa: me whakariro ki a ratou te kainga tupu o to ratou papa.
8You 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.
8Me korero ano hoki e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Ki te mate te tangata, a kahore ana tama, na me whakariro tona kainga tupu ki tana tamahine.
9If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
9A ki te kahore ana tamahine, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki ona tuakana, teina ranei.
10If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
10A ki te kahore ona tuakana, teina ranei, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki te tuakana, teina ranei o tona papa.
11If 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: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’”
11A ki te kahore he tuakana, teina ranei o tona papa, na, me hoatu tona kainga tupu ki tona whanaunga o tona hapu e tata ana ki a ia, a ka riro a reira i a ia: me waiho hoki tena hei tikanga whakaritenga ma nga tama a Iharaira; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
12Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
12¶ I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E piki koe ki tenei maunga, ki Aparimi, ka titiro atu ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira.
13When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
13A ka kitea e koe, na ka kohia atu hoki koe ki tou iwi, ka peratia me tou tuakana, me Arona i kohia atu nei:
14because you 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.)
14Mo korua i whakatoi ki taku kupu i te koraha o Hini, i te ngangautanga a te whakaminenga, a kihai i whakatapu i ahau i to ratou aroaro, i te wai. Ko te wai o Meripa tena i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini.
15Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
15¶ A i korero a Mohi ki a Ihowa, i mea,
16“Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
16Kia whakaritea e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga wairua o nga kikokiko katoa, tetahi tangata mo te whakaminenga,
17who 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 not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”
17Hei haere atu i to ratou aroaro, hei haere mai hoki i to ratou aroaro, hei arahi atu hoki i a ratou, hei arahi mai ano i a ratou; kei rite hoki te whakaminenga a Ihowa ki nga hipi kahore nei o ratou hepara.
18Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
18Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tangohia mai ki a koe a Hohua tama a Nunu, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua, ka popoki ai ou ringa ki runga ki a ia:
19and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
19Ka whakatu ai hoki i a ia ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano hoki o te whakaminenga katoa, ka whakahau ai i a ia i ta ratou tirohanga.
20You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
20Me hoatu ano e koe tetahi wahi o tou kororia ki runga ki a ia, kia rongo ai te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
21He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh: 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.”
21A ka tu ia ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ko tera ano hei kaitono whakaaro mana, i ta te Urimi e whakarite ai i te aroaro o Ihowa: ma tana kupu e haere atu ai, ma tana kupu e haere mai ai ratou, i ia, me nga tama katoa a Iharaira, ara te whaka minenga katoa.
22Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
22Na pena ana a Mohi me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia: a tangohia mai ana e ia a Hohua, whakaturia ana ki te aroaro o Ereatara tohunga, ki te aroaro ano o te whakaminenga katoa:
23and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.
23A pokia iho e ia ona ringa ki runga ki a ia, me te whakahau ano ki a ia i ta Ihowa i korerotia e Mohi.
