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.

١ وَأَقْبَلَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ بْنِ حَافَرَ بْنِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى، الْمُنْتَمِيَاتُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، وَهُنَّ: مَحْلَةُ وَنُوعَةُ وَحُجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ.

2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the cohen, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

٢ وَوَقَفْنَ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ، وَأَمَامَ الْقَادَةِ وَالشَّعْبِ، عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَقُلْنَ:

3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

٣ «لَقَدْ مَاتَ أَبُونَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا مَعَ قُورَحَ وَتَمَرَّدُوا ضِدَّ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ مَاتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَ بَنِينَ.

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."

٤ فَلِمَاذَا يَسْقُطُ اسْمُ أَبِينَا مِنْ بَيْنِ عَشِيرَتِهِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْلِفِ ابْناً؟ أَعْطِنَا مُلْكاً بَيْنَ أَعْمَامِنَا».

5 Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

٥ فَرَفَعَ مُوسَى قَضِيَّتَهُنَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

6 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

٦ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

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.

٧ «إِنَّ بَنَاتِ صَلُفْحَادَ قَدْ نَطَقْنَ بِحَقٍّ، فَأَعْطِهِنَّ نَصِيباً مُلْكاً لَهُنَّ بَيْنَ أَعْمَامِهِنَّ. انْقُلْ إِلَيْهِنَّ نَصِيبَ أَبِيهِنَّ.

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.

٨ وَأَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ يَمُوتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُخْلِفَ ابْناً، تَنْقُلُونَ مُلْكَهُ إِلَى ابْنَتِهِ.

9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

٩ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لإِخْوَتِهِ.

10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

١٠ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَعْمَامِهِ.

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 the LORD commanded Moses.'"

١١ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَامٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَقْرَبِ أَقْرِبَائِهِ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ، فَيَرِثَهُ. وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةَ قَضَاءٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى».

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

١٢ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ عَبَارِيمَ، وَانْظُرْ مِنْ عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;

١٣ وَمَتَى شَاهَدْتَهَا تَمُوتُ وَتَنْضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ أَيْضاً، نَظِيرَ أَخِيكَ هَرُونَ.

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.)

١٤ لأَنَّكُمَا فِي صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ عَصَيْتُمَا قَوْلِي، حِينَ تَمَرَّدَ الشَّعْبُ، وَلَمْ تُقَدِّسَانِي أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ، إِذْ لَمْ تَأْمُرَا الْمَاءَ بِالتَّفَجُّرِ مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ». ذَلِكَ مَاءُ مَرِيبَةَ عِنْدَ قَادَشَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ

15 Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

١٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ:

16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

١٦ «لِيُقِمِ الرَّبُّ، إِلَهُ أَرْوَاحِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، قَائِداً لِلشَّعْبِ،

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 the LORD not be as sheep which have no shepherd."

١٧ يَخْرُجُ وَيَدْخُلُ أَمَامَهُمْ، يَقُودُهُمْ وَيُرْجِعُهُمْ لِئَلّا تُصْبِحَ جَمَاعَةُ الرَّبِّ كَغَنَمٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا».

18 The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Ruach, and lay your hand on him;

١٨ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، رَجُلاً فِيهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ، وَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ.

19 and set him before Eleazar the cohen, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

١٩ ثُمَّ أَوْقِفْهُ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ وَأَمَامَ الْجَمَاعَةِ كُلِّهَا، وَأَوْصِهِ بِحَضْرَتِهِمْ،

20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

٢٠ وَسَلِّمْهُ بَعْضَ سُلْطَتِكَ، لِكَيْ يُطِيعَهُ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

21 He shall stand before Eleazar the cohen, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD: 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."

٢١ لِيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ الَّذِي يَتَلَقَّى الْقَرَارَاتِ بِشَأْنِهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ الأُورِيمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. فَلا يَخْرُجُونَ وَلا يَدْخُلُونَ إِلّا بِأَمْرِهِ، هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ مَعَهُ».

22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the cohen, and before all the congregation:

٢٢ فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ وَأَوْقَفَهُ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَسَائِرِ الْجَمَاعَةِ،

23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.

٢٣ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْصَاهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.
