民數記 27
1 屬約瑟的兒子瑪拿西的各族，有瑪拿西的玄孫，瑪吉的曾孫，基列的孫子，希弗的兒子西羅非哈的女兒，名叫瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她們前來，
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)
2 站在會幕門口，在摩西和祭司以利亞撒，並眾首領與全會眾面前，說：
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,
3 「我們的父親死在曠野。他不與可拉同黨聚集攻擊耶和華，是在自己罪中死的；他也沒有兒子。
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.
4 為甚麼因我們的父親沒有兒子就把他的名從他族中除掉呢？求你們在我們父親的弟兄中分給我們產業。」
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.
5 於是，摩西將她們的案件呈到耶和華面前。
Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
7 「西羅非哈的女兒說得有理。你定要在她們父親的弟兄中，把地分給她們為業；要將她們父親的產業歸給她們。
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.
8 你也要曉諭以色列人說：『人若死了沒有兒子，就要把他的產業歸給他的女兒。
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.
9 他若沒有女兒，就要把他的產業給他的弟兄。
And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.
10 他若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他父親的弟兄。
And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
11 他父親若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他族中最近的親屬，他便要得為業。』這要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和華吩咐摩西的。」
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.
12 耶和華對摩西說：「你上這亞巴琳山，觀看我所賜給以色列人的地。
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.
13 看了以後，你也必歸到你列祖那裏，像你哥哥亞倫一樣。
And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 因為你們在尋的曠野，當會眾爭鬧的時候，違背了我的命，沒有在湧水之地、會眾眼前尊我為聖。」（這水就是尋的曠野加低斯米利巴水。）
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.
15 摩西對耶和華說：
Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,
16 「願耶和華萬人之靈的上帝，立一個人治理會眾，
Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,
17 可以在他們面前出入，也可以引導他們，免得耶和華的會眾如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。」
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.
18 耶和華對摩西說：「嫩的兒子約書亞是心中有聖靈的；你將他領來，按手在他頭上，
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,
19 使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，囑咐他，
And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.
20 又將你的尊榮給他幾分，使以色列全會眾都聽從他。
And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.
21 他要站在祭司以利亞撒面前；以利亞撒要憑烏陵的判斷，在耶和華面前為他求問。他和以色列全會眾都要遵以利亞撒的命出入。」
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.
22 於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的將約書亞領來，使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，
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.
23 按手在他頭上，囑咐他，是照耶和華藉摩西所說的話。
Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
