Numbers 27
1 Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Zelafehad mempunyai lima anak perempuan, yaitu Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka dan Tirza. Ayah Zelafehad adalah Hefer, ayah Hefer adalah Gilead. Ayah Gilead adalah Makhir, ayah Makhir adalah Manasye, dan ayah Manasye adalah Yusuf.
2 They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Kelima anak Zelafehad itu pergi menghadap Musa, dan Imam Eleazar, serta para pemimpin dan seluruh umat yang sedang berkumpul di dekat pintu Kemah TUHAN. Kata mereka,
3 “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.
"Ayah kami meninggal di padang gurun dan ia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki. Ia bukan pengikut Korah yang memberontak terhadap TUHAN. Ayah kami itu meninggal karena dosanya sendiri.
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.”
Tetapi mengapa namanya harus hilang dari bangsa Israel hanya karena ia tidak mempunyai keturunan laki-laki? Berilah kami tanah pusaka bersama-sama dengan sanak saudara ayah kami."
5 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
Lalu Musa menyampaikan perkara mereka itu kepada TUHAN,
6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
dan TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
"Apa yang dikatakan anak-anak Zelafehad itu memang pantas. Jadi berilah mereka tanah pusaka bersama-sama dengan sanak saudara ayah mereka. Warisan Zelafehad itu harus diturunkan kepada anak-anaknya yang perempuan.
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.
Katakanlah kepada bangsa Israel bahwa apabila seorang laki-laki mati dan ia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, maka tanah pusakanya harus diwariskan kepada anaknya yang perempuan.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Kalau ia tidak mempunyai anak perempuan, tanah pusakanya itu diwariskan kepada saudaranya laki-laki.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Kalau ia tidak mempunyai saudara laki-laki, tanahnya itu untuk saudara laki-laki ayahnya.
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. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’”
Kalau ia tidak mempunyai saudara laki-laki, dan tak ada pula saudara laki-laki ayahnya, tanahnya itu menjadi milik kerabat yang paling dekat dari kaumnya." Ketentuan itu harus dipatuhi orang Israel sebagai peraturan hukum yang diperintahkan TUHAN melalui Musa.
12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Naiklah ke Gunung Abarim, dan dari situ pandanglah negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada orang Israel.
13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
Sesudah memandangnya, engkau akan mati seperti abangmu Harun,
14 because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honor me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
sebab di padang gurun Zin kamu berdua telah melawan perintah-Ku. Ketika di Meriba seluruh rakyat mengomel terhadap Aku, kamu tidak mau menyatakan kekuasaan-Ku di hadapan mereka berhubung dengan air itu." (Peristiwa itu terjadi di mata air Meriba di Kades, di padang gurun Zin).
15 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
Lalu Musa berdoa,
16 “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
"Ya, TUHAN Allah, yang memberi kehidupan kepada semua yang hidup, saya mohon, tunjuklah seorang yang dapat memimpin bangsa ini;
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 Yahweh may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”
seorang yang dapat menjadi panglima pada waktu mereka berperang. Jangan biarkan umat-Mu ini seperti kawanan domba yang tidak mempunyai gembala."
18 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Panggillah Yosua, anak Nun. Ia seorang yang cakap. Letakkan tanganmu ke atas kepalanya.
19 Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Suruhlah dia berdiri di depan Imam Eleazar dan seluruh umat. Di depan mereka semua engkau harus mengumumkan bahwa Yosua adalah penggantimu.
20 You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
Serahkanlah kepadanya sebagian dari kekuasaanmu, supaya umat Israel mentaati dia.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”
Yosua harus minta petunjuk dari Imam Eleazar, dan Eleazar harus menanyakan kehendak-Ku dengan memakai Urim dan Tumim. Dengan cara itu Eleazar memimpin Yosua dan seluruh bangsa Israel dalam segala perkara yang mereka hadapi."
22 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya. Ia menyuruh Yosua berdiri di depan Imam Eleazar dan seluruh umat.
23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.
Lalu ia meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala Yosua dan mengumumkan bahwa Yosua adalah penggantinya, seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadanya.
