Numbers 27
1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Accesserunt autem filiæ Salphaad, filii Hepher, filii Galaad, filii Machir, filii Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph: quarum sunt nomina, Maala, et Noa, et Hegla, et Melcha, et Thersa.
2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Steteruntque coram Moyse et Eleazaro sacerdote, et cunctis principibus populi ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis, atque dixerunt:
3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
Pater noster mortuus est in deserto, nec fuit in seditione, quæ concitata est contra Dominum sub Core, sed in peccato suo mortuus est: hic non habuit mares filios. Cur tollitur nomen illius de familia sua, quia non habuit filium? Date nobis possessionem inter cognatos patris nostri.
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."
Retulitque Moyses causam earum ad iudicium Domini.
5 Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
Qui dixit ad eum:
6 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Iustam rem postulant filiæ Salphaad: da eis possessionem inter cognatos patris sui, et ei in hereditatem succedant.
7 "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
Ad filios autem Israel loqueris hæc:
8 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
Homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio, ad filiam eius transibit hereditas.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Si filiam non habuerit, habebit successores fratres suos.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
Quod si et fratres non fuerint, dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius.
11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.'"
Sin autem nec patruos habuerit, dabitur hereditas his, qui ei proximi sunt. Eritque hoc filiis Israel sanctum lege perpetua, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.
12 Jehovah said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ascende in montem istum Abarim, et contemplare inde Terram, quam daturus sum filiis Israel.
13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Cumque videris eam, ibis et tu ad populum tuum, sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron:
14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
quia offendistis me in deserto Sin in contradictione multitudinis, nec sanctificare me voluistis coram ea super aquas. Hæ sunt aquæ contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin.
15 Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
Cui respondit Moyses:
16 "Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
Provideat Dominus Deus spirituum omnis carnis, hominem, qui sit super multitudinem hanc:
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 Jehovah not be as sheep which have no shepherd."
et possit exire et intrare ante eos, et educere eos vel introducere: ne sit populus Domini sicut oves absque pastore.
18 Jehovah said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Tolle Iosue filium Nun virum in quo est Spiritus, et pone manum tuam super eum.
19 and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Qui stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni multitudine:
20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
et dabis ei præcepta cunctis videntibus, et partem gloriæ tuæ, ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israel.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation."
Pro hoc, si quid agendum erit, Eleazar sacerdos consulet Dominum. Ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse, et omnes filii Israel cum eo, et cetera multitudo.
22 Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Fecit Moyses ut præceperat Dominus. Cumque tulisset Iosue, statuit eum coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni frequentia populi.
23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Jehovah spoke by Moses.
Et impositis capiti eius manibus, cuncta replicavit quæ mandaverat Dominus.
