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—
屬約瑟的兒子瑪拿西的各族，有瑪拿西的玄孫，瑪吉的曾孫，基列的孫子，希弗的兒子西羅非哈的女兒，名叫瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她們前來，
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,
站在會幕門口，在摩西和祭司以利亞撒，並眾首領與全會眾面前，說：
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;
「我們的父親死在曠野。他不與可拉同黨聚集攻擊耶和華，是在自己罪中死的；他也沒有兒子。
4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son?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”;
為甚麼因我們的父親沒有兒子就把他的名從他族中除掉呢？求你們在我們父親的弟兄中分給我們產業。」
5 and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.
於是，摩西將她們的案件呈到耶和華面前。
6 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
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.
「西羅非哈的女兒說得有理。你定要在她們父親的弟兄中，把地分給她們為業；要將她們父親的產業歸給她們。
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;
你也要曉諭以色列人說：『人若死了沒有兒子，就要把他的產業歸給他的女兒。
9 and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
他若沒有女兒，就要把他的產業給他的弟兄。
10 and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
他若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他父親的弟兄。
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.
他父親若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他族中最近的親屬，他便要得為業。』這要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和華吩咐摩西的。」
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;
耶和華對摩西說：「你上這亞巴琳山，觀看我所賜給以色列人的地。
13 and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
看了以後，你也必歸到你列祖那裏，像你哥哥亞倫一樣。
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.
因為你們在尋的曠野，當會眾爭鬧的時候，違背了我的命，沒有在湧水之地、會眾眼前尊我為聖。」（這水就是尋的曠野加低斯米利巴水。）
15 And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,
摩西對耶和華說：
16 “YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
「願耶和華萬人之靈的上帝，立一個人治理會眾，
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.”
可以在他們面前出入，也可以引導他們，免得耶和華的會眾如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。」
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,
耶和華對摩西說：「嫩的兒子約書亞是心中有聖靈的；你將他領來，按手在他頭上，
19 and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，囑咐他，
20 and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
又將你的尊榮給他幾分，使以色列全會眾都聽從他。
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.”
他要站在祭司以利亞撒面前；以利亞撒要憑烏陵的判斷，在耶和華面前為他求問。他和以色列全會眾都要遵以利亞撒的命出入。」
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,
於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的將約書亞領來，使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，
23 and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
按手在他頭上，囑咐他，是照耶和華藉摩西所說的話。
