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 are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

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 all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, 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 among the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

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 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.'

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

5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

٥ فَرَفَعَ مُوسَى قَضِيَّتَهُنَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

٦ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

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.

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

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto 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, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

٩ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لإِخْوَتِهِ.

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

١٠ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَعْمَامِهِ.

11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute 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 unto Moses: 'Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

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

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered;

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

14 because ye rebelled against My commandment in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes.' — These are the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. —

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 spoke unto the LORD, saying:

١٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ:

16 'Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

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

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 congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.'

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

18 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;

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

19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

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

20 And thou shalt put of thy honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hearken.

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

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even 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 upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spoke by the hand of Moses.

٢٣ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْصَاهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.
