< Bilangan 27 >
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--
One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 dan berdiri di depan Musa dan imam Eleazar, dan di depan para pemimpin dan segenap umat itu dekat pintu Kemah Pertemuan, serta berkata:
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 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.
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 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 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 ke hadapan TUHAN.
So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
6 Maka berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
And Yahweh replied,
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 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 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.
“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 Apabila ia tidak mempunyai anak perempuan, maka haruslah kamu memberikan milik pusakanya itu kepada saudara-saudaranya yang 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 Dan apabila ia tidak mempunyai saudara-saudara lelaki, maka haruslah kamu memberikan milik pusakanya itu kepada saudara-saudara lelaki 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 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 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 berfirman kepada Musa: "Naiklah ke gunung Abarim ini, dan pandanglah negeri yang 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 engkau memandangnya, maka engkaupun juga akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurmu, sama seperti Harun, abangmu, dahulu.
After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] 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.
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 berkatalah Musa kepada TUHAN:
Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
16 "Biarlah TUHAN, Allah dari roh segala makhluk, mengangkat atas umat ini seorang
“Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
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."
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 Lalu TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Ambillah Yosua bin Nun, seorang yang penuh roh, letakkanlah tanganmu atasnya,
Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
19 suruhlah ia berdiri di depan imam Eleazar dan di depan segenap umat, lalu berikanlah kepadanya perintahmu di depan mata mereka itu
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 dan berilah dia sebagian dari kewibawaanmu, supaya segenap umat Israel mendengarkan 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 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 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 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,
So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
23 lalu ia meletakkan tangannya atas Yosua dan memberikan kepadanya perintahnya, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN dengan perantaraan Musa.
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.
