< 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,
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.
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:
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,
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. He was not amongst the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.
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.”
Why should the name of our father be taken away from amongst his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession amongst the brothers of our father.”
5 Alò, Moïse te mennen ka yo devan SENYÈ a.
Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance amongst their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
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.
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.
9 Si li pa gen fi, alò, ou va bay eritaj li a a frè li yo.
If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 Si li pa gen frè, alò, ou va bay eritaj li a a frè papa li yo.
If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
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.’”
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 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 Lè ou fin wè li, ou va vin rasanble vè zansèt ou yo, jan sa te rive avèk frè ou a, Aaron.
When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
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 in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honour me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
15 “Alò, Moïse te pale avèk SENYÈ a. Li te di:
Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
16 Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a lespri tout chè yo, ta chwazi yon mesye sou kongregasyon an,
“Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the 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 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 the LORD may not be as sheep which have no 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
19 Konsa, fè li kanpe devan Éléazar, prèt la, ak devan tout kongregasyon an, e ba li lòd komisyon an devan zye yo.
Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
20 Ou va mete otorite pa w sou li, pou tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo kapab obeyi a li menm.
You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
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.”
He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall enquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before the LORD. 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.”
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.
Moses did as the LORD commanded him. 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.
He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
