1 M arkaas waxaa soo dhowaaday gabdhihii Selaafexaad ina Heefer ina Gilecaad oo ahaa ina Maakiir ina Manaseh, oo ahaa reer Manaseh ina Yuusuf; oo magacyadii gabdhihiisiina waa kuwan: Maxlaah iyo Nocaah iyo Xoglaah iyo Milkaah iyo Tirsaah.

Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

2 O o iyana markaasay is-hor taageen Muuse, iyo wadaadkii Elecaasaar ahaa, iyo amiirradii iyo shirka oo dhan, xagga iriddii teendhada shirka, oo waxay yidhaahdeen,

They stood in front of Moses and Eleazar the religious leader, and the leaders, and all the people at the door of the meeting tent. The daughters said,

3 A abbahayo wuxuu ku dhintay cidladii, laakiinse isagu kuma uu jirin kooxdii is-urursatay oo Rabbiga geesta ka ahayd, oo kooxdii Qorax ahayd, illowse isagu wuxuu u dhintay dembi uu isagu lahaa, oo isagu wiilalna ma uu lahayn.

“Our father died in the desert. He was not one of those who gathered together with Korah against the Lord. But he died for his own sin, and he had no sons.

4 I n kastoo uusan wiilal lahayn magicii aabbahayo maxaa qabiilkiisa looga dhex baabbi'inayaa? Haddaba aabbahayo walaalihiis dhul dhaxal ah nagu dhex sii.

Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family because he had no son? Give us land among our father’s brothers.”

5 M arkaasaa Muuse arrintoodii keenay Rabbiga hortiisa.

Moses asked the Lord what should be done.

6 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

7 G abdhaha Selaafexaad wax qumman bay ku hadleen. Haddaba hubaal waa inaad dhul dhaxal ah aabbahood walaalihiis ka dhex siisaa, oo waa inaad iyaga aabbahood ka dhaxalsiisaa.

“The daughters of Zelophehad are right in what they say. Be sure to give them their own land among their father’s brothers. Give them what would have been given to their father.

8 O o waa inaad reer binu Israa'iil la hadashaa, oo waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Haddii nin dhinto oo uusan wiil lahayn, markaas waa inaad gabadhiisa dhaxalsiisaan.

And say to the people of Israel, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then give what belongs to him to his daughter.

9 O o hadduusan gabadhna lahayn, markaas waa inaad dhaxalsiisaan walaalihiis.

If he has no daughter, then give what belongs to him to his brothers.

10 O o hadduusan walaalo lahaynna markaas waa inaad adeerradiis dhaxalsiisaan.

If he has no brothers, give what belongs to him to his father’s brothers.

11 O o hadduusan aabbihiis walaalo lahaynna markaas waa inaad dhaxalsiisaan mid xigtadiisa ah oo isagu ha lahaado. Oo taasu qaynuun xukun ah bay u ahaan doontaa reer binu Israa'iil, sida Rabbigu Muuse ku amray. Yashuuca Oo La Wareegay Xilkii Muuse

And if his father has no brothers, then you must give what belongs to him to the nearest person in his own family and it will be his. This will be a Law to the people of Israel, just as the Lord told Moses.’” Joshua Takes over from Moses

12 K olkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Buurtan Cabaariim soo fuul, oo bal fiiri dalka aan reer binu Israa'iil siiyey.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land I have given to the people of Israel.

13 O o markaad aragtid dabadeed dadkaagii dhintay waad ku darman doontaa, sidii walaalkaa Haaruunba ugu darmaday,

When you have seen it, you will be buried with your people as Aaron your brother was.

14 m axaa yeelay, eraygayga baad kaga caasideen cidladii Sin markay dadka shirku dirireen ee aad aniga quduus igaga dhigi weydeen biyaha agtooda, iyagoo u jeeda. (Kuwaasu waa biyihii Meriibaah oo ku yaal Qaadeesh oo ah cidlada Sin.)

For you went against My Word when the people complained in the Desert of Zin. You should have honored Me as holy at the waters in front of their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the Desert of Zin.)

15 M arkaasaa Muuse Rabbiga la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Moses said to the Lord,

16 R abbiga ah Ilaaha ruuxyada binu-aadmiga oo dhan, ha doorto nin u taliya shirka,

“May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, choose a man to lead the people.

17 o o hortooda dibadda ugu baxa, oo hortooda gudaha soo gala, oo iyaga dibadda u hoggaamiya, oo gudaha soo geliya inaan shirka Rabbigu ahaan sidii ido aan idojir lahayn.

Let this man go out and come in before them. Let him lead them out and bring them in. Then the people of the Lord may not be like sheep which have no shepherd.”

18 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxaad soo waddaa Yashuuca ina Nuun oo ah nin Ruuxu ku jiro, oo gacanta dul saar isaga.

So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.

19 O o waxaad isaga soo hor taagtaa wadaadka Elecaasaar ah iyo shirka oo dhan, oo hortooda amar ku sii.

Have him stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader and in front of all the people. Let them see you give him the work he must do.

20 O o waxaad isaga dul saartaa sharaftaadii, si shirka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ay isaga u addeecaan.

Give some of your power to him so all the people of Israel will obey him.

21 O o isagu waa inuu is-hor taagaa wadaadka Elecaasaar ah oo isaga wax ugu weyddiin doona xukunka Uuriimka Rabbiga hortiisa. Iyagu eraygiisay dibadda ugu bixi doonaan, oo eraygiisay gudaha ku soo geli doonaan, isaga iyo reer binu Israa'iilka isaga la jiraaba, kuwaas oo ah shirka oo dhan.

He will stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader, who will learn My will for him by using the Urim. At his word, both he and all the people of Israel will go out and at his word, they will come in.”

22 M arkaasaa Muuse yeelay sidii Rabbigu ku amray, oo wuxuu soo waday Yashuuca, kolkaasuu soo hor taagay wadaadkii Elecaasaar ahaa iyo shirkii oo dhan.

Moses did just as the Lord told him. He took Joshua and had him stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader, and in front of all the people.

23 O o gacmuhuu dul saaray, oo amar buu siiyey, sidii Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay.

Then he laid his hands on him and gave him the work he must do, just as the Lord had said through Moses.
