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.

And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;

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 princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, 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 in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.

4 Hvi skal da vor Faders Navn udelukkes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? giv os Ejendom midt iblandt vor Faders Brødre!

And Moses brought their case before the Lord.

5 Og Mose fremførte deres Sag for Herrens Ansigt.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6 Og Herren sagde saaledes til Mose:

The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and you shall assign their father's inheritance to them.

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.

And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,

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.

If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.

9 Og dersom han ingen Datter har, da skulle I give hans Brødre hans Arv.

And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.

10 Og dersom han ingen Brødre har, da skulle I give hans Faders Brødre hans Arv.

And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.

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 there be no brethren of his father, you shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgement, as the Lord commanded Moses.

12 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak op paa dette Bjerg Abarim og bese Landet, som jeg har givet Israels Børn.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.

13 Og naar du har beset det, da skal ogsaa du samles til dit Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder blev samlet,

And you shall see it, and you also shall be added to your people, as Aaron your brother was added [to them] in mount Or:

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 you transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; you sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.

15 Og Mose talede til Herren og sagde:

And Moses said to the Lord,

16 Vilde dog Herren, som er alt Køds Aanders Gud, beskikke en Mand over Menigheden,

Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this 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 shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to yourself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and you shall lay your hands upon him.

19 og stil ham for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt og for den hele Menigheds Ansigt, og giv ham Befaling for deres Øjne;

And you shall set him before Eleazar the priest, and you shall give him a charge before all the congregation, and you shall give a charge concerning him before them.

20 og læg af din Herlighed paa ham, for at hele Israels Børns Menighed maa høre ham.

And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to him.

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, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgement of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and 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 the Lord 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 on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
