4 Mosebog 27
1 Og nu fremkom Døtrene af Zelafehad, som var en Søn af Hefer, der var en Søn af Gilead, der var en Søn af Makir, Manasse Søn, af Manasse, Josefs Søns, Slægter; og dette var hans Døtres Navne: Mahela og Noa og Hogla og Milka og Thirza.
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, drew near. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 Og de stode frem for Mose Ansigt og for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt og for Fyrsternes og al Menighedens Ansigt, for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og sagde:
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the rulers and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,
3 Vor Fader er død i Ørken, og han var ikke iblandt det Selskab, som samlede sig imod Herren i Koras Selskab; men han døde i sin Synd, og han havde ikke Sønner.
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
4 Hvi skal da vor Faders Navn udelukkes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? giv os Ejendom midt iblandt vor Faders Brødre!
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 Og Mose fremførte deres Sag for Herrens Ansigt.
And Moses brought their case before Jehovah.
6 Og Herren sagde saaledes til Mose:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
7 Zelafehads Døtre tale ret, du skal give dem Ejendom til Arv midt iblandt deres Faders Brødre, og du skal lade deres Faders Arv gaa over til dem.
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. Thou shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers, and thou shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8 Og til Israels Børn skal du tale og sige: Naar en Mand dør og har ingen Søn, da skulle I lade hans Arv gaa over til hans Datter.
And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies, and has no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 Og dersom han ingen Datter har, da skulle I give hans Brødre hans Arv.
And if he has no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 Og dersom han ingen Brødre har, da skulle I give hans Faders Brødre hans Arv.
And if he has no brothers, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11 Men dersom hans Fader ingen Brødre har, da skulle I give hans Arv til hans næste Slægt, til den, som er hans nærmeste paarørende af hans Slægt, og denne skal arve den; og det skal være for Israels Børn en beskikket Ret, som Herren har befalet Mose.
And if his father has no brothers, then ye 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 sons of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
12 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak op paa dette Bjerg Abarim og bese Landet, som jeg har givet Israels Børn.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up onto this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.
13 Og naar du har beset det, da skal ogsaa du samles til dit Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder blev samlet,
And when thou have seen it, thou also shall be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered,
14 efterdi I vare genstridige imod min Mund i den Ørk Zin, da Menigheden yppede Kiv, der I skulde have helliget mig for deres Øjne ved Vandet; det er Kivevandet i Kades, udi den Ørk Zin.
because ye 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.)
15 Og Mose talede til Herren og sagde:
And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
16 Vilde dog Herren, som er alt Køds Aanders Gud, beskikke en Mand over Menigheden,
Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
17 som kan gaa ud for deres Ansigt, og som kan gaa ind for deres Ansigt, og som kan føre dem ud, og som kan føre dem ind, at Herrens Menighed ikke skal være som Faarene, der ingen Hyrde have.
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 Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tag dig Josva, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem Aanden er, og læg din Haand paa ham,
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him,
19 og stil ham for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt og for den hele Menigheds Ansigt, og giv ham Befaling for deres Øjne;
and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight.
20 og læg af din Herlighed paa ham, for at hele Israels Børns Menighed maa høre ham.
And thou shall put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey.
21 Og han skal staa for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt, og denne skal efter Urims Vis spørge for ham hos Herren; efter dennes Mund skulle de gaa ud, og efter dennes Mund skulle de gaa ind, han og alle Israels Børn med ham, ja, den hele Menighed.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah. At his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 Og Mose gjorde, som Herren havde befalet ham; og han tog Josva og stillede ham for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt og for den hele Menigheds Ansigt,
And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him. And he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.
23 og han lagde sine Hænder paa ham og gav ham Befaling, eftersom Herren havde talet ved Mose.
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spoke by Moses.
