4 Mosebog 27
1 Men Zelofhads Døtre, hvis Fader var en Søn af Hefer, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Makir, en Søn af Manasse — de hørte altsaa til Josefs Søn Manasses Slægter, og deres Navne var Mala, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza — traadte hen
And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near — and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah —
2 og stillede sig frem for Moses, Præsten Eleazar, Øversterne og hele Menigheden ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet og sagde:
and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying:
3 »Vor Fader døde i Ørkenen — han hørte ikke med til Koras Tilhængere, dem, der rottede sig sammen mod HERREN, men døde for sin egen Synds Skyld — og han havde ingen Sønner.
'Our father died in the wilderness, and he — he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had no sons;
4 Hvorfor skal nu vor Faders Navn udslettes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? Giv os Ejendom blandt vor Faders Brødre!«
why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;'
5 Og Moses lagde deres Sag frem for HERRENS Aasyn.
and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
6 Da talede HERREN saaledes til Moses:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
7 »Zelofhads Døtre har Ret i, hvad de siger; giv dem Ejendom til Arvelod mellem deres Faders Brødre og lad deres Faders Arvelod tilfalde dem.
'Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and hast caused to pass over the inheritance of their father to them.
8 Og til Israeliterne skal du tale og sige saaledes: Naar en Mand dør uden at efterlade sig nogen Søn, da skal I lade hans Arvelod gaa i Arv til hans Datter;
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When a man dieth, and hath no son, then ye have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
9 har han heller ingen Datter, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Brødre;
and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;
10 har han heller ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Farbrødre;
and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's brethren;
11 og har hans Fader ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtning, som saa skal arve den. Det skal være Israeliterne en retsgyldig Anordning, som HERREN har paalagt Moses.«
and if his father have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his relation who is near unto him of his family, and he hath possessed it;' and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
12 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Stig op paa Abarimbjerget her og se ud over Landet, som jeg vil give Israeliterne.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
13 Og naar du har set ud over det, skal ogsaa du samles til din Slægt ligesom din Broder Aron;
and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,
14 I var jo genstridige mod mit Ord i Zins Ørken, dengang Menigheden yppede Kiv, saa at I ikke helligede mig i deres Paasyn ved at skaffe Vand.« Det er Meribat-Kadesj's Vand i Zins Ørken.
because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the company — to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes;' they [are] waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Og Moses talte saaledes til HERREN:
And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
16 »Maatte HERREN, Gud over alt Køds Aander, indsætte en Mand over Menigheden,
'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,
17 som kan drage ud og hjem i Spidsen for dem og føre dem ud og hjem, for at ikke HERRENS Menighed skal blive som en Hjord uden Hyrde!«
who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them, and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.'
18 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Tag Josua, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem der er Aand, læg din Haand paa ham,
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take to thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine hand upon him,
19 fremstil ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden og indsæt ham saaledes i deres Paasyn;
and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
20 og overdrag ham noget af din Værdighed, for at hele Israeliternes Menighed kan adlyde ham.
and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
21 Men han skal træde frem for Præsten Eleazar, for at han kan skaffe ham Urims Kendelse for HERRENS Aasyn; paa hans Bud skal han drage ud, og paa hans Bud skal han vende hjem, han og alle Israeliterne, hele Menigheden.«
'And before Eleazar the priest he standeth, and he hath asked for him by the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah; at His word they go out, and at His word they come in; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the company.'
22 Moses gjorde som HERREN havde paalagt ham; han tog Josua og fremstillede ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden;
And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,
23 og han lagde sine Hænder paa ham og indsatte ham, saaledes som HERREN havde paabudt ved Moses.
and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
