Numbers 27
1 One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, 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 altså til Josefs Søn Manasses Slægter, og deres Navne var Mala, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirza - trådte hen
2 They came to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and stood in front of Eleazar, Moses/me, the tribal leaders, and many [EUP] other Israeli people.
og stillede sig frem for Moses, Præsten Eleazar, Øversterne og hele Menigheden ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet og sagde:
3 They said, “Our father died [during the time that we were] in the desert, and he did not have any sons. But he was not among those who supported Korah, who rebelled against Yahweh. He died just because he was a sinner [like everyone else].
"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 should the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons.) [RHQ] So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!”
Hvorfor skal nu vor Faders Navn udslettes af hans Slægt, fordi han ingen Søn havde? Giv os Ejendom blandt vor Faders Brødre!"
5 So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
Og Moses lagde deres Sag frem for HERRENs Åsyn.
6 And Yahweh replied,
Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
7 “What the daughters of Zelophehad are requesting is right. You must give them some land, just as you are giving to their father’s relatives. Give to each of them some of the land that would have been given to their brothers [if they had any].
"Zelofbads Døtre har Ret i, hvad de siger; giv dem Ejendom til Arvelod mellem deres Faders Brødre og lad deres Faders Arvelod tilfalde dem
8 “Also tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a man who has no sons dies, give the things that his sons would have inherited to his daughters.
Og til Israeliterne skal du tale og sige således: Når en Mand dør uden at efterlade sig nogen Søn, da skal I lade hans Arvelod gå i Arv til hans Datter;
9 If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
har han heller ingen Datter, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Brødre;
10 If the man had no brothers, give to his father’s brothers the things that his sons or daughters or brothers would have inherited.
har han heller ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans Farbrødre;
11 If the man’s father has no brothers, give to his closest relative the things that the others would have inherited.’ That will be a rule for the Israeli people, because I am giving this as a command to you, Moses, [to tell them].”
og har hans Fader ingen Brødre, skal I give hans Arvelod til hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtning, som så skal arve den. Det skal være Israeliterne en retsgyldig Anordning, som HERREN har pålagt Moses."
12 One day, Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Climb to the top of the Abarim Mountains [east of the Jordan River]. Then look out over the land that I am giving to the Israeli people.
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Stig op på Åbarimbjerget her og se ud over Landet, som jeg vil give Israeliterne.
13 After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] brother Aaron did.
Og når du har set ud over det, skal også du samles til din Slægt ligesom din Broder Aron;
14 The reason [that you will die and not enter that land] is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, [I told you to speak to the rock to cause] water to flow out of it. [But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it], you did not show the people my holy power.”
I var jo genstridige mod mit Ord i Zins Ørken, dengang Menigheden yppede Kiv, så at I ikke helligede mig i deres Påsyn ved at skaffe Vand." Det er Meriba Kadesjs Vand i Zins Ørken.
15 Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
Og Moses talte således til HERREN:
16 “Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
"Måtte HERREN, Gud over alt Køds Ånder, indsætte en Mand over Menigheden,
17 Appoint someone who will lead your people when they go to fight a battle, so that they will not [just wander around] like sheep that do not have a shepherd.” [SIM]
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 Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Tag Josua, Nuns Søn, en Mand, i hvem der er Ånd, læg din Hånd på ham,
19 Cause him to stand in front of Eleazar the priest, as all the people are watching, and commission/appoint him to be the new leader of the Israeli people.
fremstil ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden og indsæt ham således i deres Påsyn;
20 Give to him some of the authority that you now have, in order that all the Israeli people will [know that they must] obey him.
og overdrag ham noget af din Værdighed, for at hele Israeliternes Menighed kan adlyde ham.
21 When you all need me to guide you, Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar. Then by (casting lots/throwing marked stones on the ground) Eleazar will find out what they should do.”
Men han skal træde frem for Præsten Eleazar, for at han kan skaffe ham Urims Kendelse for HERRENs Åsyn; på hans Bud skal han drage ud, og på hans Bud skal han vende hjem, han og alle Israeliterne, hele Menigheden."
22 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
Moses gjorde som HERREN havde pålagt ham; han tog Josua og fremstillede ham for Præsten Eleazar og hele Menigheden;
23 Moses/I laid his/my hands on him and commissioned/appointed him to do the work that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell him to do.
og han lagde sine Hænder på ham og indsatte ham, således som HERREN havde påbudt ved Moses.
