Numbers 27
1 Now the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They approached
属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族，有玛拿西的玄孙，玛吉的曾孙，基列的孙子，希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿，名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她们前来，
2 the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
站在会幕门口，在摩西和祭司以利亚撒，并众首领与全会众面前，说：
3 “Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.
“我们的父亲死在旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华，是在自己罪中死的；他也没有儿子。
4 Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
为什么因我们的父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢？求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分给我们产业。”
5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
于是，摩西将她们的案件呈到耶和华面前。
6 and the LORD answered him,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
“西罗非哈的女儿说得有理。你定要在她们父亲的弟兄中，把地分给她们为业；要将她们父亲的产业归给她们。
8 Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
你也要晓谕以色列人说：‘人若死了没有儿子，就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。
9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
他若没有女儿，就要把他的产业给他的弟兄。
10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
他若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他父亲的弟兄。
11 And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”
他父亲若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他族中最近的亲属，他便要得为业。’这要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和华吩咐摩西的。”
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.
耶和华对摩西说：“你上这亚巴琳山，观看我所赐给以色列人的地。
13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;
看了以后，你也必归到你列祖那里，像你哥哥亚伦一样。
14 for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin.
因为你们在寻的旷野，当会众争闹的时候，违背了我的命，没有在涌水之地、会众眼前尊我为圣。”（这水就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴水。）
15 So Moses appealed to the LORD,
摩西对耶和华说：
16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
“愿耶和华万人之灵的 神，立一个人治理会众，
17 who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
可以在他们面前出入，也可以引导他们，免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。”
18 And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
耶和华对摩西说：“嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的；你将他领来，按手在他头上，
19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，嘱咐他，
20 Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
又将你的尊荣给他几分，使以色列全会众都听从他。
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”
他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前；以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断，在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。”
22 Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来，使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，
23 and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
按手在他头上，嘱咐他，是照耶和华借摩西所说的话。
