Numbers 27

1 And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near — 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 and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening 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 — he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and 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4 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;'

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

5 and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.

٥ فَرَفَعَ مُوسَى قَضِيَّتَهُنَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

6 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

٦ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

7 'Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and hast caused to pass over the inheritance of their father to them.

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

8 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When a man dieth, and hath no son, then ye have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;

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

9 and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;

٩ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ تُعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لإِخْوَتِهِ.

10 and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father's brethren;

١٠ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ، فَأَعْطُوا مُلْكَهُ لأَعْمَامِهِ.

11 and if his father have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his relation who is near unto him of his family, and he hath possessed it;' and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as Jehovah hath 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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;

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

13 and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,

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

14 because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the company — to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes;' they [are] waters of Meribah, in 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 And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,

١٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ:

16 'Jehovah — God of the spirits of all flesh — appoint a man over the company,

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

17 who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them, and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.'

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

18 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take to thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine hand upon him,

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

19 and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,

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

20 and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.

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

21 'And before Eleazar the priest he standeth, and he hath asked for him by the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah; at His word they go out, and at His word they come in; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the company.'

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

22 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,

٢٢ فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ وَأَوْقَفَهُ أَمَامَ أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَسَائِرِ الْجَمَاعَةِ،

23 and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.

٢٣ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوْصَاهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.
