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 [Causing to forget], of the families of Manasseh [Causing to forget] the son of Joseph [May he add] came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah [Rest], 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:
They stood before Moses [Drawn out], and before Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, and before the princes 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. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Adonai in the company of Korach [Bald one, Frost], but he died in his own crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal·. 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.
Moses [Drawn out] brought their mishpat ·case· before Adonai.
6 Og Herren sagde saaledes til Mose:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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. 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 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.
You shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 Og dersom han ingen Datter har, da skulle I give hans Brødre hans Arv.
If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 Og dersom han ingen Brødre har, da skulle I give hans Faders Brødre hans Arv.
If he has no brothers, then you 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.
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 judgement for the children of Israel [God prevails], as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out].’”
12 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak op paa dette Bjerg Abarim og bese Landet, som jeg har givet Israels Børn.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel [God prevails].
13 Og naar du har beset det, da skal ogsaa du samles til dit Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder blev samlet,
When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron [Light-bringer] your 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 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 [Quarreling] of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
15 Og Mose talede til Herren og sagde:
Moses [Drawn out] spoke to Adonai, saying,
16 Vilde dog Herren, som er alt Køds Aanders Gud, beskikke en Mand over Menigheden,
“Let Adonai, 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 Adonai not be 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,
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Take Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, a man in whom is the breath mind Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
19 og stil ham for Eleasars, Præstens, Ansigt og for den hele Menigheds Ansigt, og giv ham Befaling for deres Øjne;
Set him before Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, and before all the congregation; and enjoin him in their sight.
20 og læg af din Herlighed paa ham, for at hele Israels Børns Menighed maa høre ham.
You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] 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.
He shall stand before Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgments of the Urim before Adonai. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel [God prevails] 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,
Moses [Drawn out] did as Adonai enjoined him. He took Joshua [Yah Salvation], and set him before Eleazar [Help of God] 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.
He laid his hands on him, and enjoined him, as Adonai spoke by Moses [Drawn out].
