1 Kemudian mendekatlah anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad bin Hefer bin Gilead bin Makhir bin Manasye dari kaum Manasye bin Yusuf--nama anak-anaknya itu adalah: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka dan Tirza--
The daughters of Zelophehad came to present their case. Their father Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, and was from the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They came
2 dan berdiri di depan Musa dan imam Eleazar, dan di depan para pemimpin dan segenap umat itu dekat pintu Kemah Pertemuan, serta berkata:
and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and all the Israelites at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They said,
3 "Ayah kami telah mati di padang gurun, walaupun ia tidak termasuk ke dalam kumpulan yang bersepakat melawan TUHAN, ke dalam kumpulan Korah, tetapi ia telah mati karena dosanya sendiri, dan ia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki.
“Our father died in the desert, but he wasn't one of Korah's followers who joined together to rebel against the Lord. No, he died from his own sins, and he didn't have any sons.
4 Mengapa nama ayah kami harus hapus dari tengah-tengah kaumnya, oleh karena ia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki? Berilah kami tanah milik di antara saudara-saudara ayah kami."
Why should our family name be lost simply because he didn't have a son? Give us land to own alongside our uncles.”
5 Lalu Musa menyampaikan perkara mereka itu ke hadapan TUHAN.
Moses took their case before the Lord.
6 Maka berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
The Lord gave him this answer,
7 "Perkataan anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad itu benar; memang engkau harus memberikan tanah milik pusaka kepadanya di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara ayahnya; engkau harus memindahkan kepadanya hak atas milik pusaka ayahnya.
“What the daughters of Zelophehad are saying is right. You really must give them land to own alongside their uncles—give to them what would have been allocated to their father.
8 Dan kepada orang Israel engkau harus berkata: Apabila seseorang mati dengan tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, maka haruslah kamu memindahkan hak atas milik pusakanya kepada anaknya yang perempuan.
In addition, tell the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and doesn't have a no son, give his property to his daughter.
9 Apabila ia tidak mempunyai anak perempuan, maka haruslah kamu memberikan milik pusakanya itu kepada saudara-saudaranya yang laki-laki.
If he doesn't have a daughter, give his property to his brothers.
10 Dan apabila ia tidak mempunyai saudara-saudara lelaki, maka haruslah kamu memberikan milik pusakanya itu kepada saudara-saudara lelaki ayahnya.
If he doesn't have brothers, give his property to his father's brothers.
11 Dan apabila ayahnya tidak mempunyai saudara-saudara lelaki, maka haruslah kamu memberikan milik pusakanya itu kepada kerabatnya yang terdekat dari antara kaumnya, supaya dimilikinya." Itulah yang harus menjadi ketetapan hukum bagi orang Israel, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa.
If his father doesn't have brothers, give his property his family's next of kin so that they can own it. This is a legal regulation for the Israelites, given as an order by the Lord to Moses.’”
12 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Naiklah ke gunung Abarim ini, dan pandanglah negeri yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel.
The Lord told Moses, “Go up into the Abarim mountains so you can see the land that I have given the Israelites.
13 Sesudah engkau memandangnya, maka engkaupun juga akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurmu, sama seperti Harun, abangmu, dahulu.
After you have seen it, you will also join your forefathers in death, just as your brother Aaron did,
14 Karena pada waktu pembantahan umat itu di padang gurun Zin, kamu berdua telah memberontak terhadap titah-Ku untuk menyatakan kekudusan-Ku di depan mata mereka dengan air itu." Itulah mata air Meriba dekat Kadesh di padang gurun Zin.
because when the Israelites complained in the Desert of Zin, you both rebelled against my instructions to show my holiness before them in regard to providing water.” (These were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
15 Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada TUHAN:
Then Moses pleaded with the Lord,
16 "Biarlah TUHAN, Allah dari roh segala makhluk, mengangkat atas umat ini seorang
“May the Lord, the God who gives life to all living beings, choose a man to lead the Israelites
17 yang mengepalai mereka waktu keluar dan masuk, dan membawa mereka keluar dan masuk, supaya umat TUHAN jangan hendaknya seperti domba-domba yang tidak mempunyai gembala."
who will tell them what to do and show them where to go, so that the people of the Lord won't be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 Lalu TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Ambillah Yosua bin Nun, seorang yang penuh roh, letakkanlah tanganmu atasnya,
The Lord told Moses, “Call for Joshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and place your hands on him.
19 suruhlah ia berdiri di depan imam Eleazar dan di depan segenap umat, lalu berikanlah kepadanya perintahmu di depan mata mereka itu
Make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites, and dedicate him while they watch.
20 dan berilah dia sebagian dari kewibawaanmu, supaya segenap umat Israel mendengarkan dia.
Hand over some of your authority to him so that all the Israelites will obey him.
21 Ia harus berdiri di depan imam Eleazar, supaya Eleazar menanyakan keputusan Urim bagi dia di hadapan TUHAN; atas titahnya mereka akan keluar dan atas titahnya mereka akan masuk, ia beserta semua orang Israel, segenap umat itu."
When he needs instructions he is to go before Eleazar the priest who will ask the Lord on his behalf and find out the decision using the Urim. Joshua will give orders to all the Israelites concerning everything they are to do.”
22 Maka Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya. Ia memanggil Yosua dan menyuruh dia berdiri di depan imam Eleazar dan di depan segenap umat itu,
Moses followed the Lord's instructions. He had Joshua come and stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites.
23 lalu ia meletakkan tangannya atas Yosua dan memberikan kepadanya perintahnya, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN dengan perantaraan Musa.
Moses placed his hands on Joshua and dedicated him, just as the Lord had told him to do.
