Bilangan 27
1 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.
One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 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,
They came to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and stood in front of Eleazar, Moses/me, the tribal leaders, and many [EUP] other Israeli people.
3 "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.
They said, “Our father died [during the time that we were] in the desert, and he did not have any sons. But he was not among those who supported Korah, who rebelled against Yahweh. He died just because he was a sinner [like everyone else].
4 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."
(Why should the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons.) [RHQ] So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!”
5 Lalu Musa menyampaikan perkara mereka itu kepada TUHAN,
So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
6 dan TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And Yahweh replied,
7 "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.
“What the daughters of Zelophehad are requesting is right. You must give them some land, just as you are giving to their father’s relatives. Give to each of them some of the land that would have been given to their brothers [if they had any].
8 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.
“Also tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a man who has no sons dies, give the things that his sons would have inherited to his daughters.
9 Kalau ia tidak mempunyai anak perempuan, tanah pusakanya itu diwariskan kepada saudaranya laki-laki.
If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
10 Kalau ia tidak mempunyai saudara laki-laki, tanahnya itu untuk saudara laki-laki ayahnya.
If the man had no brothers, give to his father’s brothers the things that his sons or daughters or brothers would have inherited.
11 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.
If the man’s father has no brothers, give to his closest relative the things that the others would have inherited.’ That will be a rule for the Israeli people, because I am giving this as a command to you, Moses, [to tell them].”
12 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Naiklah ke Gunung Abarim, dan dari situ pandanglah negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada orang Israel.
One day, Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Climb to the top of the Abarim Mountains [east of the Jordan River]. Then look out over the land that I am giving to the Israeli people.
13 Sesudah memandangnya, engkau akan mati seperti abangmu Harun,
After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] brother Aaron did.
14 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).
The reason [that you will die and not enter that land] is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, [I told you to speak to the rock to cause] water to flow out of it. [But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it], you did not show the people my holy power.”
15 Lalu Musa berdoa,
Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
16 "Ya, TUHAN Allah, yang memberi kehidupan kepada semua yang hidup, saya mohon, tunjuklah seorang yang dapat memimpin bangsa ini;
“Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
17 seorang yang dapat menjadi panglima pada waktu mereka berperang. Jangan biarkan umat-Mu ini seperti kawanan domba yang tidak mempunyai gembala."
Appoint someone who will lead your people when they go to fight a battle, so that they will not [just wander around] like sheep that do not have a shepherd.” [SIM]
18 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Panggillah Yosua, anak Nun. Ia seorang yang cakap. Letakkan tanganmu ke atas kepalanya.
Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
19 Suruhlah dia berdiri di depan Imam Eleazar dan seluruh umat. Di depan mereka semua engkau harus mengumumkan bahwa Yosua adalah penggantimu.
Cause him to stand in front of Eleazar the priest, as all the people are watching, and commission/appoint him to be the new leader of the Israeli people.
20 Serahkanlah kepadanya sebagian dari kekuasaanmu, supaya umat Israel mentaati dia.
Give to him some of the authority that you now have, in order that all the Israeli people will [know that they must] obey him.
21 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."
When you all need me to guide you, Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar. Then by (casting lots/throwing marked stones on the ground) Eleazar will find out what they should do.”
22 Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya. Ia menyuruh Yosua berdiri di depan Imam Eleazar dan seluruh umat.
So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
23 Lalu ia meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala Yosua dan mengumumkan bahwa Yosua adalah penggantinya, seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadanya.
Moses/I laid his/my hands on him and commissioned/appointed him to do the work that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell him to do.
