Numbers 27
1 And there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No'ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Tada pristupiše kćeri Selofhada, sina Heferova, sina Gileadova, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova iz roda Josipova sina Manašea. A imena kćeri bila su: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Elazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
One stanu pred Mojsija, pred svećenika Eleazara, pred glavare i svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka pa reknu:
3 Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not among the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korach; but in his own sin he died, and sons he had not.
“Naš je otac umro u pustinji. Nije pripadao družini što se pobunila protiv Jahve - Korahovoj družini - nego je umro od svoga vlastitoga grijeha. Sinova nije imao.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from the midst of his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us a possession among the brothers of our father.
Zašto bi se odstranilo ime našega oca iz njegova roda? Budući da nije imao sina, daj nama posjed među braćom našega oca!”
5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
Mojsije iznese njihov slučaj pred Jahvu.
6 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
A Jahve reče Mojsiju:
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly: thou shalt indeed give them a possession as an inheritance among the brothers of their father; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
“Selofhadove kćeri pravo kažu. Treba svakako da im dadneš posjed koji će biti njihova baština među braćom njihova oca. Prenesi na njih baštinu njihova oca.
8 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
Nadalje, reci Izraelcima: 'Kad koji čovjek umre a ne imadne sina, prenesite njegovu baštinu na njegovu kćer.
9 And if he have no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his brothers.
Ne imadne li ni kćeri, predajte baštinu njegovoj braći.
10 And if he have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his father's brothers.
Ako ne imadne ni braće, njegovu baštinu podajte braći njegova oca.
11 And if his father have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of justice, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
Ako mu otac ne imadne braće, baštinu njegovu podajte najbližem rođaku njegova roda: neka je on uzme u posjed.' Neka to bude zakonska odredba Izraelcima, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.”
12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go thou up unto this mount of 'Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Popni se na ovo brdo Abarim i razgledaj zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.
13 And when thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered.
A kad budeš razgledao, pridružit ćeš se svojim precima i ti, kako se pridružio i tvoj brat Aron.
14 Because ye rebelled against my order in the desert of Zin, at the quarreling of the congregation, to sanctify me through the waters before their eyes: these are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
Jer ste se u pobuni zajednice u pustinji Sin usprotivili mojim ustima umjesto da vodom očitujete moju svetost pred njihovim očima.” (To su Meripske vode kod Kadeša u Sinskoj pustinji.)
15 And Moses spoke unto the Lord, saying,
A Jahvi Mojsije progovori ovako:
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“Neka Jahve, Bog duhova u svakom tijelu, postavi čovjeka nad ovom zajednicom
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 a flock which have no shepherd.
koji će pred njom izlaziti; koji će pred njom stupati; koji će je izvoditi i uvoditi tako da Jahvina zajednica ne bude kao stado što nema pastira.”
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom there is a spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;
“Uzmi Jošuu, sina Nunova!” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “To je čovjek u kome ima duha. Na nj položi ruku svoju!
19 And thou shalt cause him to stand before Elazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and thou shalt give him a charge before their eyes.
Onda ga odvedi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu te mu na njihove oči daj naredbe!
20 And thou shalt put some of thy greatness upon him; in order that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Predaj mu dio svoje vlasti da ga sluša sva zajednica sinova Izraelovih.
21 And before Elazar the priest shall he stand, and he shall ask of him after the judgment of the Urim before the Lord: at his direction shall they go out, and at his direction shall they come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, and all the congregation.
Neka pristupa k svećeniku Eleazaru, koji će za nj tražiti odluke Urima pred Jahvom. Na njegovu zapovijed neka izlaze i na njegovu zapovijed neka ulaze, oni i svi Izraelci s njim - sva zajednica.”
22 And Moses did, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took Joshua, and caused him to stand before Elazar the priest, and before all the congregation;
Mojsije učini kako mu je Jahve naredio: uzme Jošuu te ga postavi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu.
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge: as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Položi zatim na nj svoje ruke i dade mu svoje naredbe, kako je Jahve zapovjedio preko Mojsija.
