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 altså til Josefs Søn Manasses Slægter, og deres Navne var Mala, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza - trådte hen
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 stillede sig frem for Moses, Præsten Eleazar, Øversterne og hele Menigheden ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet 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 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 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 Hvorfor skal nu vor Faders Navn udslettes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? Giv os Ejendom blandt vor Faders Brødre!"
And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
5 Og Moses lagde deres Sag frem for HERRENs Åsyn.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
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 "Zelofbads Døtre har Ret i, hvad de siger; giv dem Ejendom til Arvelod mellem deres Faders Brødre og lad deres Faders Arvelod tilfalde dem
And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,
8 Og til Israeliterne skal du tale og sige således: Når en Mand dør uden at efterlade sig nogen Søn, da skal I lade hans Arvelod gå i Arv til hans Datter;
If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
9 har han heller ingen Datter, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Brødre;
And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.
10 har han heller ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Farbrødre;
And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
11 og har hans Fader ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtning, som så skal arve den. Det skal være Israeliterne en retsgyldig Anordning, som HERREN har pålagt Moses."
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 judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Stig op på Åbarimbjerget her og se ud over Landet, som jeg vil give Israeliterne.
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 når du har set ud over det, skal også du samles til din Slægt ligesom din Broder Aron;
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 I var jo genstridige mod mit Ord i Zins Ørken, dengang Menigheden yppede Kiv, så at I ikke helligede mig i deres Påsyn ved at skaffe Vand." Det er Meriba Kadesjs Vand i Zins Ørken.
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 Moses talte således til HERREN:
And Moses said to the Lord,
16 "Måtte HERREN, Gud over alt Køds Ånder, indsætte 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 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 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 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Tag Josua, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem der er Ånd, læg din Hånd på 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 fremstil ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden og indsæt ham således i deres Påsyn;
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 overdrag ham noget af din Værdighed, for at hele Israeliternes Menighed kan adlyde ham.
And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to him.
21 Men han skal træde frem for Præsten Eleazar, for at han kan skaffe ham Urims Kendelse for HERRENs Åsyn; på hans Bud skal han drage ud, og på hans Bud skal han vende hjem, han og alle Israeliterne, hele Menigheden."
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment 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 Moses gjorde som HERREN havde pålagt ham; han tog Josua og fremstillede ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden;
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 på ham og indsatte ham, således som HERREN havde påbudt ved Moses.
And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
