Numbers 27
1 One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Las hijas de Zelofead vinieron a presentar su caso. Su padre Zelofehad era hijo de Hefer, hijo de Galaad, hijo de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, y era de la tribu de Manasés, hijo de José. Los nombres de sus hijas eran Maala, Noa, Hogla, Milca y Tirsa. Vinieron
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.
y se presentaron ante Moisés, el sacerdote Eleazar, los líderes y todos los israelitas a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Dijeron,
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].
“Nuestro padre murió en el desierto, pero no era uno de los seguidores de Coré que se unieron para rebelarse contra el Señor. No, murió por sus propios pecados, y no tuvo hijos.
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!”
¿Por qué debería perderse el nombre de nuestra familia simplemente porque no tuvo un hijo? Danos tierra para que la poseamos junto a nuestros tíos”.
5 So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
Moisés llevó su caso ante el Señor.
6 And Yahweh replied,
El Señor le dio esta respuesta,
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].
Lo que las hijas de Zelofehad están diciendo es correcto. Debes darles tierra para que la posean junto a sus tíos, dales lo que se le habría asignado a su padre.
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.
Además, dile a los israelitas: “Si un hombre muere y no tiene un hijo, dale su propiedad a su hija.
9 If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
Si no tiene una hija, da su propiedad a sus hermanos.
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.
Si no tiene hermanos, dé su propiedad a los hermanos de su padre.
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].”
Si su padre no tiene hermanos, déle su propiedad a los parientes más cercanos de su familia para que puedan ser dueños de ella. Esta es una regulación legal para los israelitas, dada como una orden del Señor a Moisés”.
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.
El Señor le dijo a Moisés: “Sube a los montes de Abarim para que veas la tierra que he dado a los israelitas.
13 After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] brother Aaron did.
Después que la hayas visto, también te unirás a tus antepasados en la muerte, como lo hizo tu hermano Aarón,
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.”
porque cuando los israelitas se quejaron en el desierto de Zin, ambos se rebelaron contra mis instrucciones de mostrar mi santidad ante ellos en lo que respecta al suministro de agua”. (Estas fueron las aguas de Meribá en Cades, en el desierto de Zin).
15 Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
Entonces Moisés suplicó al Señor,
16 “Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
“Que el Señor, el Dios que da la vida a todos los seres vivos, elija un hombre que guíe a los israelitas
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]
que les diga qué hacer y les muestre dónde ir, para que el pueblo del Señor no sea como ovejas sin pastor”.
18 Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
El Señor le dijo a Moisés: “Llama a Josué, hijo de Nun, un hombre que tiene el Espíritu en él, y pon tus manos sobre él.
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.
Haz que se ponga delante del sacerdote Eleazar y de todos los israelitas, y dedícalo mientras ellos velan.
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.
Entrégale algo de tu autoridad para que todos los israelitas le obedezcan.
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.”
Cuando necesite instrucciones deberá ir ante Eleazar, el sacerdote, quien orará al Señor en su nombre y consultará la decisión usando el Urim. Josué les dará órdenes a todos los israelitas sobre todo lo que deben hacer”.
22 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
Moisés siguió las instrucciones del Señor. Hizo que Josué viniera y se pusiera delante del sacerdote Eleazar y de todos los israelitas.
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.
Moisés puso sus manos sobre Josué y lo dedicó, tal como el Señor le había dicho que hiciera.
