< Numbers 27 >

1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
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
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and the whole assembly, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,
og stillede sig frem for Moses, Præsten Eleazar, Øversterne og hele Menigheden ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet og sagde:
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
"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.
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
Hvorfor skal nu vor Faders Navn udslettes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? Giv os Ejendom blandt vor Faders Brødre!"
5 And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
Og Moses lagde deres Sag frem for HERRENs Åsyn.
6 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
"Zelofbads Døtre har Ret i, hvad de siger; giv dem Ejendom til Arvelod mellem deres Faders Brødre og lad deres Faders Arvelod tilfalde dem
8 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
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;
9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
har han heller ingen Datter, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Brødre;
10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
har han heller ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Farbrødre;
11 And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
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."
12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land that I have given unto the children of Israel.
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Stig op på Åbarimbjerget her og se ud over Landet, som jeg vil give Israeliterne.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered,
Og når du har set ud over det, skal også du samles til din Slægt ligesom din Broder Aron;
14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
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.
15 And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
Og Moses talte således til HERREN:
16 Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the assembly,
"Måtte HERREN, Gud over alt Køds Ånder, indsætte en Mand over Menigheden,
17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no shepherd.
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!"
18 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Tag Josua, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem der er Ånd, læg din Hånd på ham,
19 and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before their eyes.
fremstil ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden og indsæt ham således i deres Påsyn;
20 And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that the whole assembly of the children of Israel may obey him.
og overdrag ham noget af din Værdighed, for at hele Israeliternes Menighed kan adlyde ham.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him, by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, even the whole assembly.
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."
22 And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly.
Moses gjorde som HERREN havde pålagt ham; han tog Josua og fremstillede ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden;
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him commandment, as Jehovah had said through Moses.
og han lagde sine Hænder på ham og indsatte ham, således som HERREN havde påbudt ved Moses.
