Numbers 27

1 And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near—and these [are] the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah—

١ فَتَقَدَّمَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ بْنِ حَافَرَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى، مِنْ عَشَائِرِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ. وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنَاتِهِ: مَحْلَةُ وَنُوعَةُ وَحُجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

2 and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

٢ وَوَقَفْنَ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَأَمَامَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ قَائِلَاتٍ:

3 “Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation who were gathered together against YHWH in the congregation of Korah, but he died for his own sin, and had no sons;

٣ «أَبُونَا مَاتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ قُورَحَ، بَلْ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ.

4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son? Give a possession to us in the midst of the brothers of our father”;

٤ لِمَاذَا يُحْذَفُ ٱسْمُ أَبِينَا مِنْ بَيْنِ عَشِيرَتِهِ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ؟ أَعْطِنَا مُلْكًا بَيْنَ إِخْوةِ أَبِينَا».

5 and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.

٥ فَقَدَّمَ مُوسَى دَعْوَاهُنَّ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

6 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

٦ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are speaking correctly; you certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and have caused the inheritance of their father to pass over to them.

٧ «بِحَقٍّ تَكَلَّمَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ، فَتُعْطِيهِنَّ مُلْكَ نَصِيبٍ بَيْنَ إِخْوَةِ أَبِيهنَّ، وَتَنْقُلُ نَصِيبَ أَبِيهِنَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ.

8 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a man dies and has no son, then you have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;

٨ وَتُكَلِّمُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ، تَنْقُلُونَ مُلْكَهُ إِلَى ٱبْنَتِهِ.

9 and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;

٩ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ ٱبْنَةٌ، تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ.

10 and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;

١٠ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لِإِخوَةِ أَبِيهِ.

11 and if his father has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his relation who is near to him of his family, and he has possessed it”; and it has been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

١١ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِيهِ إِخْوَةٌ، تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لِنَسِيبِهِ ٱلْأَقْرَبِ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ فَيَرِثُهُ». فَصَارَتْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَرِيضَةَ قَضَاءٍ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

12 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go up to this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;

١٢ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ عَبَارِيمَ هَذَا وَٱنْظُرِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

13 and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,

١٣ وَمَتَى نَظَرْتَهَا، تُضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا كَمَا ضُمَّ هَارُونُ أَخُوكَ.

14 because you provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation—to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes”; they [are] the waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.

١٤ لِأَنَّكُمَا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ، عِنْدَ مُخَاصَمَةِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، عَصَيْتُمَا قَوْلِي أَنْ تُقَدِّسَانِي بِٱلْمَاءِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ». ذَلِكَ مَاءُ مَرِيبَةِ قَادَشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ.

15 And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,

١٥ فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

16 “YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

١٦ «لِيُوَكِّلِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ أَرْوَاحِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَشَرِ رَجُلًا عَلَى ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ،

17 who goes out before them, and who comes in before them, and who takes them out, and who brings them in, and the congregation of YHWH is not as sheep which have no shepherd.”

١٧ يَخْرُجُ أَمَامَهُمْ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَهُمْ وَيُخْرِجُهُمْ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ، لِكَيْلَا تَكُونَ جَمَاعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَٱلْغَنَمِ ٱلَّتِي لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا».

18 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun to yourself, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and you have laid your hand on him,

١٨ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، رَجُلًا فِيهِ رُوحٌ، وَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ،

19 and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,

١٩ وَأَوْقِفْهُ قُدَّامَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَقُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَأَوْصِهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ.

20 and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.

٢٠ وَٱجْعَلْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِكَ عَلَيْهِ لِكَيْ يَسْمَعَ لَهُ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

21 And he stands before Eleazar the priest, and he has inquired before YHWH for him by the judgment of the Lights; at his word they go out, and at his word they come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him—even all the congregation.”

٢١ فَيَقِفَ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ فَيَسْأَلُ لَهُ بِقَضَاءِ ٱلْأُورِيمِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَسَبَ قَوْلِهِ يَخْرُجُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِهِ يَدْخُلُونَ، هُوَ وَكُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ».

22 And Moses does as YHWH has commanded him, and takes Joshua and causes him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation,

٢٢ فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أَخَذَ يَشُوعَ وَأَوْقَفَهُ قُدَّامَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَقُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ،

23 and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.

٢٣ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْصَاهُ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.
