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—
Men Zelofhads Døtre, hvis Fader var en Søn af Hefer, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Makir, en Søn af Manasse — de hørte altsaa til Josefs Søn Manasses Slægter, og deres Navne var Mala, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza — traadte hen
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,
og stillede sig frem for Moses, Præsten Eleazar, Øversterne og hele Menigheden ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet og sagde:
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;
»Vor Fader døde i Ørkenen — han hørte ikke med til Koras Tilhængere, dem, der rottede sig sammen mod HERREN, men døde for sin egen Synds Skyld — og han havde ingen Sønner.
4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son?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”;
Hvorfor skal nu vor Faders Navn udslettes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? Giv os Ejendom blandt vor Faders Brødre!«
5 and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.
Og Moses lagde deres Sag frem for HERRENS Aasyn.
6 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN saaledes til Moses:
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.
»Zelofhads Døtre har Ret i, hvad de siger; giv dem Ejendom til Arvelod mellem deres Faders Brødre og lad deres Faders Arvelod tilfalde dem.
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;
Og til Israeliterne skal du tale og sige saaledes: Naar en Mand dør uden at efterlade sig nogen Søn, da skal I lade hans Arvelod gaa i Arv til hans Datter;
9 and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
har han heller ingen Datter, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Brødre;
10 and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
har han heller ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Farbrødre;
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.
og har hans Fader ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtning, som saa skal arve den. Det skal være Israeliterne en retsgyldig Anordning, som HERREN har paalagt Moses.«
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;
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Stig op paa Abarimbjerget her og se ud over Landet, som jeg vil give Israeliterne.
13 and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
Og naar du har set ud over det, skal ogsaa du samles til din Slægt ligesom din Broder Aron;
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.
I var jo genstridige mod mit Ord i Zins Ørken, dengang Menigheden yppede Kiv, saa at I ikke helligede mig i deres Paasyn ved at skaffe Vand.« Det er Meribat-Kadesj's Vand i Zins Ørken.
15 And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,
Og Moses talte saaledes til HERREN:
16 “YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
»Maatte HERREN, Gud over alt Køds Aander, indsætte en Mand over Menigheden,
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.”
som kan drage ud og hjem i Spidsen for dem og føre dem ud og hjem, for at ikke HERRENS Menighed skal blive som en Hjord uden Hyrde!«
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,
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Tag Josua, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem der er Aand, læg din Haand paa ham,
19 and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
fremstil ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden og indsæt ham saaledes i deres Paasyn;
20 and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
og overdrag ham noget af din Værdighed, for at hele Israeliternes Menighed kan adlyde ham.
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.”
Men han skal træde frem for Præsten Eleazar, for at han kan skaffe ham Urims Kendelse for HERRENS Aasyn; paa hans Bud skal han drage ud, og paa hans Bud skal han vende hjem, han og alle Israeliterne, hele Menigheden.«
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,
Moses gjorde som HERREN havde paalagt ham; han tog Josua og fremstillede ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden;
23 and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
og han lagde sine Hænder paa ham og indsatte ham, saaledes som HERREN havde paabudt ved Moses.
