Numbers 27

1 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;

١ وَأَقْبَلَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ بْنِ حَافَرَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى، الْمُنْتَمِيَاتُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، وَهُنَّ: مَحْلَةُ وَنُوعَةُ وَحُجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

2 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,

٢ وَوَقَفْنَ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ، وَأَمَامَ الْقَادَةِ وَالشَّعْبِ، عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَقُلْنَ:

3 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.

٣ «لَقَدْ مَاتَ أَبُونَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا مَعَ قُورَحَ وَتَمَرَّدُوا ضِدَّ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ مَاتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَ بَنِينَ.

4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.

٤ فَلِمَاذَا يَسْقُطُ اسْمُ أَبِينَا مِنْ بَيْنِ عَشِيرَتِهِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْلِفِ ابْناً؟ أَعْطِنَا مُلْكاً بَيْنَ أَعْمَامِنَا».

5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

٥ فَرَفَعَ مُوسَى قَضِيَّتَهُنَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and thou shalt assign their father's inheritance to them.

٦ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

7 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,

٧ «إِنَّ بَنَاتِ صَلُفْحَادَ قَدْ نَطَقْنَ بِحَقٍّ، فَأَعْطِهِنَّ نَصِيباً مُلْكاً لَهُنَّ بَيْنَ أَعْمَامِهِنَّ. انْقُلْ إِلَيْهِنَّ نَصِيبَ أَبِيهِنَّ.

8 If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.

٨ وَأَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ يَمُوتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُخْلِفَ ابْناً، تَنْقُلُونَ مُلْكَهُ إِلَى ابْنَتِهِ.

9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his brother.

٩ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لإِخْوَتِهِ.

10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.

١٠ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَعْمَامِهِ.

11 And if there be no brethren of his father, ye 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.

١١ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَامٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَقْرَبِ أَقْرِبَائِهِ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ، فَيَرِثَهُ. وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةَ قَضَاءٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى».

12 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.

١٢ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ عَبَارِيمَ، وَانْظُرْ مِنْ عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

13 And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or:

١٣ وَمَتَى شَاهَدْتَهَا تَمُوتُ وَتَنْضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ أَيْضاً، نَظِيرَ أَخِيكَ هَرُونَ.

14 because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.

١٤ لأَنَّكُمَا فِي صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ عَصَيْتُمَا قَوْلِي، حِينَ تَمَرَّدَ الشَّعْبُ، وَلَمْ تُقَدِّسَانِي أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ، إِذْ لَمْ تَأْمُرَا الْمَاءَ بِالتَّفَجُّرِ مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ». ذَلِكَ مَاءُ مَرِيبَةَ عِنْدَ قَادَشَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ

15 And Moses said to the Lord,

١٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ:

16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,

١٦ «لِيُقِمِ الرَّبُّ، إِلَهُ أَرْوَاحِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، قَائِداً لِلشَّعْبِ،

17 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.

١٧ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَهُمْ، يَقُودُهُمْ وَيُرْجِعُهُمْ لِئَلّا تُصْبِحَ جَمَاعَةُ الرَّبِّ كَغَنَمٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا».

18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon him.

١٨ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، رَجُلاً فِيهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، وَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ.

19 And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give him a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge concerning him before them.

١٩ ثُمَّ أَوْقِفْهُ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ وَأَمَامَ الْجَمَاعَةِ كُلِّهَا، وَأَوْصِهِ بِحَضْرَتِهِمْ،

20 And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel may hearken to him.

٢٠ وَسَلِّمْهُ بَعْضَ سُلْطَتِكَ، لِكَيْ يُطِيعَهُ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

21 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.

٢١ لِيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ الَّذِي يَتَلَقَّى الْقَرَارَاتِ بِشَأْنِهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ الأُورِيمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. فَلا يَخْرُجُونَ وَلا يَدْخُلُونَ إِلّا بِأَمْرِهِ، هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ مَعَهُ».

22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.

٢٢ فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ وَأَوْقَفَهُ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَسَائِرِ الْجَمَاعَةِ،

23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.

٢٣ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْصَاهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.
