Números 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. 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, 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. 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."

5 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh. 6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 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. 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. 9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 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.’"

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

15 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying, 16 "Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, 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."

18 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him. 19 Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight. 20 You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey. 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."

22 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation. 23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.

Ngā Tamāhine a Teropēhara.

1 Nā, ka haere mai ngā tamāhine a Teropēhara, tama a Hewhere, he tama hoki ia nā Kireara, tama a Makiri, tama a Mānahi; nō ngā hapū o Mānahi, tama a Hōhepa. Ā, ko ngā ingoa ēnei o āna tamāhine: ko Mahara, ko Noa, ko Hokora, ko Mirika, ko Tirita. 2 Ā, ka tū rātou ki te aroaro o Mohi, ki te aroaro hoki o Ereātara tohunga, ki te aroaro anō o ngā rangatira, o te whakaminenga katoa hoki, ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ā, ka mea, 3 "I mate tō mātou pāpā ki te koraha, kāhore hoki ia i roto i te hui o te hunga i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Ihowā i roto i te hui a Koraha, engari, i mate ia i runga i tōna hara ake, kāhore anō hoki āna tama. 4 He aha i whakakorea ai te ingoa o tō mātou pāpā i roto i tōna hapū, i a ia kāhore nei i whai tama? Hōmai he wāhi ki a mātou i roto i ngā tēina o tō mātou pāpā."

5 Nā, ka kawea tā rātou kōrero e Mohi ki te aroaro o Ihowā. 6 Ā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, ka mea, 7 "He tika ngā kōrero a ngā tamāhine a Teropēhara, me hoatu tētahi wāhi ki a rātou hei kāinga tupu i roto i ngā tēina o tō rātou pāpā; me whakariro ki a rātou te kāinga tupu o tō rātou pāpā.

8 "Me kōrero anō hoki e koe ki ngā tama a Īharaira, me kī atu, ‘Ki te mate te tangata, ā, kāhore āna tama, nā, me whakariro tōna kāinga tupu ki tāna tamāhine. 9 Ā, ki te kāhore āna tamāhine, nā, me hoatu tōna kāinga tupu ki ōna tuākana, tēina rānei. 10 Ā, ki te kāhore ōna tuākana, tēina rānei, nā, me hoatu tōna kāinga tupu ki te tuākana, tēina rānei o tōna pāpā. 11 Ā, ki te kāhore he tuākana, tēina rānei o tōna pāpā, nā, me hoatu tōna kāinga tupu ki tōna whanaunga o tōna hapū e tata ana ki a ia, ā, ka riro a reira i a ia. Me waiho hoki tēnā hei tikanga whakaritenga mā ngā tama a Īharaira; ko tā Ihowā hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.’ "

Ka Whiriwhiria a Hohua hei Whakakapi i a Mohi

12 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "E piki koe ki tēnei maunga, ki Aparimi, ka titiro atu ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki ngā tama a Īharaira. 13 Ā, ka kitea e koe, nā, ka kohia atu hoki koe ki tōu iwi, ka pērātia me tōu tuakana, me Ārona i kohia atu nei, 14 mō kōrua i whakatoi ki tāku kupu i te koraha o Hini, i te ngangautanga a te whakaminenga, ā, kīhai i whakatapu i ahau i tō rātou aroaro, i te wai." (Ko te wai o Meripa tēnā i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini.)

15 Ā, i kōrero a Mohi ki a Ihowā, i mea, 16 "Kia whakaritea e Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā wairua o ngā kikokiko katoa, tētahi tangata mō te whakaminenga, 17 hei haere atu i tō rātou aroaro, hei haere mai hoki i tō rātou aroaro, hei ārahi atu hoki i a rātou, hei ārahi mai anō i a rātou; kei rite hoki te whakaminenga a Ihowā ki ngā hipi kāhore nei ō rātou hēpara."

18 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Tangohia mai ki a koe a Hohua tama a Nunu, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua, ka popoki ai ōu ringa ki runga ki a ia. 19 Ka whakatū ai hoki i a ia ki te aroaro o Ereātara tohunga, ki te aroaro anō hoki o te whakaminenga katoa, ka whakahau ai i a ia i tā rātou tirohanga. 20 Me hoatu anō e koe tētahi wāhi o tōu korōria ki runga ki a ia, kia rongo ai te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira. 21 Ā, ka tū ia ki te aroaro o Ereātara tohunga, ko tērā anō hei kaitono whakaaro māna, i tā te Urimi e whakarite ai i te aroaro o Ihowā. Mā tāna kupu e haere atu ai, mā tāna kupu e haere mai ai rātou, a ia, me ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, arā te whakaminenga katoa."

22 Nā, pēnā ana a Mohi me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a ia; ā, tangohia mai ana e ia a Hohua, whakatūria ana ki te aroaro o Ereātara tohunga, ki te aroaro anō o te whakaminenga katoa. 23 Ā, pōkia iho e ia ōna ringa ki runga ki a ia, me te whakahau anō ki a ia i tā Ihowā i kōrerotia e Mohi.
