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 Waato din gaa no Zelofehad ize wayey kaa ka maan. Zelofehad wo Hefer ize no, Jileyad ize, Macir ize, Manasse ize; Manasse kunda jama ra boro no. Manasse wo mo Yusufu ize no. Wandiyey din maayey neeya: Mala, da Noha, da Hogla, da Milka, da Tirza.
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,
2 Ngey mo, i kay Musa jine, nga nda Alfa Eliyezar, da jine borey, da jama kulu jine mo. I go kubayyaŋ hukumo meyo jarga. I ne:
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.
3 «Iri baaba bu ganjo ra. A mana furo Kora marga ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na ngey boŋ margu ka gaaba nda Rabbi. Amma a bu nga bumbo zunubey se. A mana ize aru kulu hay mo.
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.”
4 Amma ifo se no iri baaba maa ga daray a almayaaley ra, zama se a sinda ize aru yaŋ? Wa iri no tubu iri baabo nya ize alborey banda.»
5Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
5 Kala Musa konda i sanno Rabbi do.
6Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Rabbi tu Musa se ka ne:
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.
7 «Zelofehad ize wayey gonda cimi. Daahir ni g'i no laabu kaŋ i ga tubu i baabo nya izey banda. I baabo tubo ga ciya i wane.
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.
8 Woodin banda, ni ma salaŋ Israyla izey se ka ne: Da alboro fo bu, a sinda ize aru kulu, kal a tubo ma ciya a ize wayey wane.
9If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
9 Da mo ize way si no, kal araŋ m'a tubo no a nya ize alborey se.
10If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
10 D'a sinda nya ize alboro yaŋ mo, araŋ m'a tubo no a baabo nya izey alborey se.
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.’”
11 D'a baabo sinda nya ize alboro yaŋ mo, kal araŋ m'a tubo no a nya-ka-fo-sina kaŋ ga maan a gaa a almayaaley ra se, hal a ma ciya a wane. Woodin mo ga goro ciiti fondo da farilla sanni Israyla izey se, sanno kaŋ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se boŋ.»
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 Woodin banda Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne: «Ni ma kaaru Abarim tondi kuuko boŋ ka laabo kaŋ ay na Israyla izey no din guna.
13When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
13 Da ni di a, kulu ni mo, ni ga margu ni dumey do, mate kaŋ cine ni beero Haruna margu.
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.)
14 Zama araŋ murte ay sanno gaa Zin ganjo ra, waato kaŋ jama na yanja te. Araŋ man'ay beerandi i jine haro do.» (Sanda Meriba haro nooya kaŋ go Kades haray Zin ganjo ra.)
15Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
15 Kala Musa salaŋ Rabbi se ka ne:
16“Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
16 «Ya Rabbi, nin kaŋ ci Irikoy Adam-izey kulu biyey boŋ, kala ni ma boro fo suuban a ma ciya jine boro jama wo se.
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.”
17 Bora din ma furo i jine ka koy, a ma furo i jine ka kaa mo. A ma kond'ey k'i daŋ laabo ra, hala Rabbi jama ma si hima danga feejiyaŋ kaŋ sinda kuruko.»
18Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
18 Rabbi tu Musa se ka ne: «Ni ma Yasuwa Nun izo suuban; boro no kaŋ Biya go a ra. Ni ma ni kambe dake a boŋo boŋ.
19and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
19 M'a kayandi Alfa Eliyezar jine. Naŋ woodin ma te mo jama kulu jine. Ni m'a kambe toonandi nda goyo noodin.
20You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
20 Ni ga ni beera dake a boŋ, hala Israyla izey jama kulu m'a gana.
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.”
21 Nga mo ma kay Alfa Eliyezar jine, kaŋ ga Urim* ciito asariya hã Rabbi gaa. Rabbi sanno boŋ no i ga fatta, a sanno boŋ mo no i ga furo, Yasuwa nda Israyla izey kulu, sanda jama kulu nooya.»
22Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
22 Musa te mate kaŋ cine Rabbi ci nga se. A na Yasuwa kayandi Alfa Eliyezar jine, nangu kaŋ jama kulu ga di ey.
23and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.
23 A na nga kambey dake Yasuwa boŋ k'a kambe toonandi nda goyo, danga mate kaŋ cine Rabbi ci Musa se.
