Numbers 27
1 Forsothe the douytris of Salphaat, sone of Epher, sone of Galaad, sone of Machir, sone of Manasses, that was `the sone of Joseph, neiyeden; of whiche douytris these ben the names; Maala, and Noha, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族，有玛拿西的玄孙，玛吉的曾孙，基列的孙子，希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿，名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她们前来，
2 And thei stoden bifore Moises, and Eleazar, preest, and alle the princes of the puple, at the dore of tabernacle of boond of pees; and seiden,
站在会幕门口，在摩西和祭司以利亚撒，并众首领与全会众面前，说：
3 Oure fadir was deed in the deseert, nether he was in the rebelte, that was reisid ayens the Lord, vndur Chore, but he was deed in his synne; he hadde no male sones. Whi is `the name of hym takun awei fro his meynee, for he hath no sone? Yif ye possessioun to vs among `the kynesmen of oure fadir.
“我们的父亲死在旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华，是在自己罪中死的；他也没有儿子。
4 And Moises telde `the cause of hem to the doom of the Lord;
为什么因我们的父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢？求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分给我们产业。”
5 which seide to Moyses, The douytris of Salphaath axen a iust thing; yyue thou possessioun to hem among `the kynnysmen of her fadir,
于是，摩西将她们的案件呈到耶和华面前。
6 and be thei successouris to hym in to eritage.
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
7 Forsothe thou schalt speke these thingis to the sons of Israel,
“西罗非哈的女儿说得有理。你定要在她们父亲的弟兄中，把地分给她们为业；要将她们父亲的产业归给她们。
8 Whanne a man is deed with out sone, the eritage schal go to his douyter;
你也要晓谕以色列人说：‘人若死了没有儿子，就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。
9 if he hath not a douyter, he schal haue eiris his britheren;
他若没有女儿，就要把他的产业给他的弟兄。
10 that and if britheren ben not, ye schulen yyue the eritage to `the britheren of his fadir;
他若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他父亲的弟兄。
11 forsothe if he hath no britheren of his fadir, the eritage schal be youun to hem that ben next to hym. And this schal be hooli, `that is, stidefast, bi euerlastynge lawe to the sones of Israel, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.
他父亲若没有弟兄，就要把他的产业给他族中最近的亲属，他便要得为业。’这要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和华吩咐摩西的。”
12 Also the Lord seide to Moises, Stie thou in to this hil of Aberym, and biholde thou fro thennus the lond, which Y schal yyue to the sones of Israel.
耶和华对摩西说：“你上这亚巴琳山，观看我所赐给以色列人的地。
13 And whanne thou hast seyn it, also thou schalt go to thi puple, as thi brother Aaron yede;
看了以后，你也必归到你列祖那里，像你哥哥亚伦一样。
14 for thou offenddidist me in the deseert of Syn, in the ayen seiyng of the multitude, nether woldist halewe me bifor it, on the watris. These ben the watris of ayen seiyng, in Cades, of the deseert of Syn.
因为你们在寻的旷野，当会众争闹的时候，违背了我的命，没有在涌水之地、会众眼前尊我为圣。”（这水就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴水。）
15 To whom Moises answeryde,
摩西对耶和华说：
16 The Lord God of spiritis of al fleisch puruey a man, that be on this multitude,
“愿耶和华万人之灵的 神，立一个人治理会众，
17 and may go out, and entre bifor hem, and lede hem out, and lede hem yn, lest the `puple of the Lord be as scheep with out schepherde.
可以在他们面前出入，也可以引导他们，免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。”
18 And the Lord seide to hym, Take thou Josue, the sone of Nun, a man in whom the spyrit of God is, and set thin hond on hym; and he schal stonde bifore Eleazar,
耶和华对摩西说：“嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的；你将他领来，按手在他头上，
19 preest, and bifore al the multitude.
使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，嘱咐他，
20 And thou schalt yyue to hym comaundementis, in the siyt of alle men, and a part of thi glorie, that al the synagoge of the sones of Israel here hym.
又将你的尊荣给他几分，使以色列全会众都听从他。
21 If ony thing schal be worthi to be do for this man, Eleasar, preest, schal counseil the Lord; he schal go out, and schal go yn, at the word of Eleazar; he, and alle the sones of Israel with him, and the tother multitude.
他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前；以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断，在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。”
22 Moises dide as the Lord comaundide, and whanne he hadde take Josue, he settide hym bifore Eleazar, preest, and bifore al the multitude of the puple;
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来，使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前，
23 and whanne he hadde set hondis on his heed, he reherside alle thingis whiche the Lord comaundide.
按手在他头上，嘱咐他，是照耶和华借摩西所说的话。
