Brojevi 27
1 Tada pristupiše kćeri Selofhada, sina Heferova, sina Gileadova, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova iz roda Josipova sina Manašea. A imena kćeri bila su: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.
Then came the daughters of Salphaad, the son of Hepher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Maala, and Noa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
2 One stanu pred Mojsija, pred svećenika Eleazara, pred glavare i svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka pa reknu:
And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the people at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and said:
3 “Naš je otac umro u pustinji. Nije pripadao družini što se pobunila protiv Jahve - Korahovoj družini - nego je umro od svoga vlastitoga grijeha. Sinova nije imao.
Our father died in the desert, and was not in the sedition, that was raised against the Lord under Core, but he died in his own sin: and he had no male children. Why is his name taken away out of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.
4 Zašto bi se odstranilo ime našega oca iz njegova roda? Budući da nije imao sina, daj nama posjed među braćom našega oca!”
And Moses referred their cause to the judgment of the Lord.
5 Mojsije iznese njihov slučaj pred Jahvu.
And the Lord said to him:
6 A Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father’s kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7 “Selofhadove kćeri pravo kažu. Treba svakako da im dadneš posjed koji će biti njihova baština među braćom njihova oca. Prenesi na njih baštinu njihova oca.
And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak these things:
8 Nadalje, reci Izraelcima: 'Kad koji čovjek umre a ne imadne sina, prenesite njegovu baštinu na njegovu kćer.
When a man dieth without a son, his inheritance shall pass to his daughter.
9 Ne imadne li ni kćeri, predajte baštinu njegovoj braći.
If he have no daughter, his brethren shall succeed him.
10 Ako ne imadne ni braće, njegovu baštinu podajte braći njegova oca.
And if he have no brethren, you shall give the inheritance to his father’s brethren.
11 Ako mu otac ne imadne braće, baštinu njegovu podajte najbližem rođaku njegova roda: neka je on uzme u posjed.' Neka to bude zakonska odredba Izraelcima, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.”
But if he have no uncles by the father, the inheritance shall be given to them that are the next akin. And this shall be to the children of Israel sacred by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12 Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Popni se na ovo brdo Abarim i razgledaj zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.
The Lord also said to Moses: Go up into this mountain Abarim, and view from thence the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
13 A kad budeš razgledao, pridružit ćeš se svojim precima i ti, kako se pridružio i tvoj brat Aron.
And when thou shalt have seen it, thou also shalt go to thy people, as thy brother Aaron is gone:
14 Jer ste se u pobuni zajednice u pustinji Sin usprotivili mojim ustima umjesto da vodom očitujete moju svetost pred njihovim očima.” (To su Meripske vode kod Kadeša u Sinskoj pustinji.)
Because you offended me in the desert of Sin in the contradiction of the multitude, neither would you sanctify me before them at the waters. These are the waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin.
15 A Jahvi Mojsije progovori ovako:
And Moses answered him:
16 “Neka Jahve, Bog duhova u svakom tijelu, postavi čovjeka nad ovom zajednicom
May the Lord the God of the spirits of all flesh provide a man, that may be over this multitude:
17 koji će pred njom izlaziti; koji će pred njom stupati; koji će je izvoditi i uvoditi tako da Jahvina zajednica ne bude kao stado što nema pastira.”
And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 “Uzmi Jošuu, sina Nunova!” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “To je čovjek u kome ima duha. Na nj položi ruku svoju!
And the Lord said to him: Take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him.
19 Onda ga odvedi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu te mu na njihove oči daj naredbe!
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and all the multitude:
20 Predaj mu dio svoje vlasti da ga sluša sva zajednica sinova Izraelovih.
And thou shalt give him precepts in the sight of all, and part of thy glory, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hear him.
21 Neka pristupa k svećeniku Eleazaru, koji će za nj tražiti odluke Urima pred Jahvom. Na njegovu zapovijed neka izlaze i na njegovu zapovijed neka ulaze, oni i svi Izraelci s njim - sva zajednica.”
If any thing be to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord for him. He and all the children of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude shall go out and go in at his word.
22 Mojsije učini kako mu je Jahve naredio: uzme Jošuu te ga postavi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when he had taken Josue, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and all the assembly of the people,
23 Položi zatim na nj svoje ruke i dade mu svoje naredbe, kako je Jahve zapovjedio preko Mojsija.
And laying his hands on his head, he repeated all things that the Lord had commanded.
