< Resansman 27 >
1 Alò fis Tselophchad yo, fis a Hépher a, fis a Galaad la, fis a Makir a, fis a Manassé a, nan fanmi a Manassé, fis a Joseph la, te vin rapwoche; epi sila yo se non a fi li yo: Machia, Noe, Hogla, Milca, ak Thirtsa,
And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;
2 Yo te kanpe devan Moïse ak Éléazar, prèt la, ak devan chèf a tout kongregasyon yo, nan pòtay a tant asanble a, e te di:
and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
3 “Papa nou te mouri nan dezè a. Malgre sa, li pa t pami konpanyen a sila ki te rasanble yo menm kont SENYÈ a nan konpanyen a Koré yo, men li te mouri nan pwòp peche pa li. E li pa t gen fis.
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.
4 Poukisa non a papa nou ta dwe retire soti nan fanmi li akoz ke li pa t gen fis? Bannou yon posesyon pami frè a papa nou yo.”
And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
5 Alò, Moïse te mennen ka yo devan SENYÈ a.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and thou shalt assign their father's inheritance to them.
7 “Fi a Tselophchad yo gen rezon nan sa yo di a. Ou va, vrèman, ba yo yon posesyon eritaj pami frè a papa yo, e ou va transfere eritaj a papa yo a ba yo menm.
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,
8 “Anplis, ou va pale avèk fis Israël yo e di: ‘Si yon nonm mouri e li pa t gen fis, ou va transfere eritaj li a bay fi li.
If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
9 Si li pa gen fi, alò, ou va bay eritaj li a a frè li yo.
And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his brother.
10 Si li pa gen frè, alò, ou va bay eritaj li a a frè papa li yo.
And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
11 Si papa li pa gen frè, alò, ou va bay eritaj li a a fanmi ki pi prè nan pwòp fanmi li. Li va posede li. Konsa, sa va yon règleman nèt pou fis Israël yo jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.’”
And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Monte nan mòn Abarim nan, pou wè peyi ke Mwen te bay a fis Israël yo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
13 Lè ou fin wè li, ou va vin rasanble vè zansèt ou yo, jan sa te rive avèk frè ou a, Aaron.
And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or:
14 Paske, nan dezè Tsin nan, pandan asanble a t ap fè kont, ou te fè rebèl kont lòd Mwen pou trete Mwen tankou sen devan zye yo kote dlo a.” (Sila yo se dlo a Meriba yo nan Kadés nan dezè a Tsin nan.)
because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.
15 “Alò, Moïse te pale avèk SENYÈ a. Li te di:
And Moses said to the Lord,
16 Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a lespri tout chè yo, ta chwazi yon mesye sou kongregasyon an,
Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,
17 ki va sòti e antre devan yo, ki va mennen yo deyò, e rale yo antre, pou kongregasyon SENYÈ a pa devni tankou yon mouton ki san bèje.”
who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.
18 Konsa SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pran Josué, fis a Nun nan, yon nonm nan sila Lespri a rete a, e poze men ou sou li.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon him.
19 Konsa, fè li kanpe devan Éléazar, prèt la, ak devan tout kongregasyon an, e ba li lòd komisyon an devan zye yo.
And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give him a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge concerning him before them.
20 Ou va mete otorite pa w sou li, pou tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo kapab obeyi a li menm.
And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel may hearken to him.
21 Anplis, li va kanpe devan Éléazar, prèt la, ki va fè ankèt pou li selon jijman a Orim nan devan SENYÈ a. A kòmand pa li, yo va sòti e a kòmand pa li, yo va antre, ni li, ni fis Israël yo avèk li menm, tout kongregasyon an menm.”
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.
22 Moïse te fè jis sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li. Li te pran Josué e te mete li devan Éléazar, prèt la, avèk tout kongregasyon an.
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.
23 Konsa, li te poze men li sou li e te bay li lòd komisyon an, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te pale pa Moïse la.
And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.
