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—
属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族，有玛拿西的玄孙，玛吉的曾孙，基列的孙子，希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿，名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她们前来，
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,
站在会幕门口，在摩西和祭司以利亚撒，并众首领与全会众面前，说：
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;
“我们的父亲死在旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华，是在自己罪中死的；他也没有儿子。
4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son?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”;
为什么因我们的父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢？求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分给我们产业。”
5 and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.
于是，摩西将她们的案件呈到耶和华面前。
6 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
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.
“西罗非哈的女儿说得有理。你定要在她们父亲的弟兄中，把地分给她们为业；要将她们父亲的产业归给她们。
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;
你也要晓谕以色列人说：‘人若死了没有儿子，就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。
9 and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
他若没有女儿，就要把他的产业给他的弟兄。
10 and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
他若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他父亲的弟兄。
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.
他父亲若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他族中最近的亲属，他便要得为业。’这要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和华吩咐摩西的。”
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;
耶和华对摩西说：“你上这亚巴琳山，观看我所赐给以色列人的地。
13 and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
看了以后，你也必归到你列祖那里，像你哥哥亚伦一样。
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.
因为你们在寻的旷野，当会众争闹的时候，违背了我的命，没有在涌水之地、会众眼前尊我为圣。”（这水就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴水。）
15 And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,
摩西对耶和华说：
16 “YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
“愿耶和华万人之灵的 神，立一个人治理会众，
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.”
可以在他们面前出入，也可以引导他们，免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。”
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,
耶和华对摩西说：“嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的；你将他领来，按手在他头上，
19 and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，嘱咐他，
20 and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
又将你的尊荣给他几分，使以色列全会众都听从他。
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.”
他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前；以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断，在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。”
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,
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来，使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，
23 and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
按手在他头上，嘱咐他，是照耶和华借摩西所说的话。
