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
Accesserunt autem filiae Salphaad, filii Hepher, filii Galaad, filii Machir, filii Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph: quarum sunt nomina, Maala, et Noa, et Hegla, et Melcha, et Thersa.
2 the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
Steteruntque coram Moyse et Eleazaro sacerdote, et cunctis principibus populi ad ostium tabernaculi foederis, atque dixerunt:
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.
Pater noster mortuus est in deserto, nec fuit in seditione, quae concitata est contra Dominum sub Core, sed in peccato suo mortuus est: hic non habet mares filios. Cur tollitur nomen illius de familia sua, quia non habuit filium? Date nobis possessionem inter cognatos patris nostri.
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.”
Retulitque Moyses causam earum ad iudicium Domini.
5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
Qui dixit ad eum:
6 and the LORD answered him,
Iustam rem postulant filiae Salphaad: da eis possessionem inter cognatos patris sui, et ei in hereditatem succedant.
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.
Ad filios autem Israel loqueris haec:
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.
Homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio, ad filiam eius transibit hereditas.
9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
si filiam non habuerit, habebit successores fratres suos.
10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
quod si et fratres non fuerint, dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius.
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.’”
sin autem nec patruos habuerit, dabitur hereditas his, qui ei proximi sunt. eritque hoc filiis Israel sanctum lege perpetua, sicut praecepit Dominus Moysi.
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.
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ascende in montem istum Abarim, et contemplare inde Terram, quam daturus sum filiis Israel.
13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;
cumque videris eam, ibis et tu ad populum tuum, sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron:
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.
quia offendistis me in deserto Sin in contradictione multitudinis, nec sanctificare me voluistis coram ea super aquas. hae sunt aquae contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin.
15 So Moses appealed to the LORD,
Cui respondit Moyses:
16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
Provideat Dominus Deus spirituum omnis carnis, hominem, qui sit super multitudinem hanc:
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.”
et possit exire et intrare ante eos, et educere eos vel introducere: ne sit populus Domini sicut oves absque pastore.
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.
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Tolle Iosue filium Nun virum in quo est Spiritus Dei, et pone manum tuam super eum.
19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
Qui stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni multitudine:
20 Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
et dabis ei praecepta cunctis videntibus, et partem gloriae tuae, ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israel.
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.”
Pro hoc, siquid agendum erit, Eleazar sacerdos consulet Dominum. Ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse, et omnes filii Israel cum eo, et cetera multitudo.
22 Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
Fecit Moyses ut praeceperat Dominus. Cumque tulisset Iosue, statuit eum coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni frequentia populi.
23 and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
Et impositis capiti eius manibus, cuncta replicavit quae mandaverat Dominus.
