Numbers 27
1 Then drew near 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; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
屬約瑟的兒子瑪拿西的各族，有瑪拿西的玄孫，瑪吉的曾孫，基列的孫子，希弗的兒子西羅非哈的女兒，名叫瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她們前來，
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and the whole assembly, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,
站在會幕門口，在摩西和祭司以利亞撒，並眾首領與全會眾面前，說：
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
「我們的父親死在曠野。他不與可拉同黨聚集攻擊耶和華，是在自己罪中死的；他也沒有兒子。
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
為甚麼因我們的父親沒有兒子就把他的名從他族中除掉呢？求你們在我們父親的弟兄中分給我們產業。」
5 And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
於是，摩西將她們的案件呈到耶和華面前。
6 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
「西羅非哈的女兒說得有理。你定要在她們父親的弟兄中，把地分給她們為業；要將她們父親的產業歸給她們。
8 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
你也要曉諭以色列人說：『人若死了沒有兒子，就要把他的產業歸給他的女兒。
9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
他若沒有女兒，就要把他的產業給他的弟兄。
10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
他若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他父親的弟兄。
11 And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
他父親若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他族中最近的親屬，他便要得為業。』這要作以色列人的律例典章，是照耶和華吩咐摩西的。」
12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land that I have given unto the children of Israel.
耶和華對摩西說：「你上這亞巴琳山，觀看我所賜給以色列人的地。
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered,
看了以後，你也必歸到你列祖那裏，像你哥哥亞倫一樣。
14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
因為你們在尋的曠野，當會眾爭鬧的時候，違背了我的命，沒有在湧水之地、會眾眼前尊我為聖。」（這水就是尋的曠野加低斯米利巴水。）
15 And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,
摩西對耶和華說：
16 Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the assembly,
「願耶和華萬人之靈的上帝，立一個人治理會眾，
17 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 assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no shepherd.
可以在他們面前出入，也可以引導他們，免得耶和華的會眾如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。」
18 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;
耶和華對摩西說：「嫩的兒子約書亞是心中有聖靈的；你將他領來，按手在他頭上，
19 and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before their eyes.
使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，囑咐他，
20 And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that the whole assembly of the children of Israel may obey him.
又將你的尊榮給他幾分，使以色列全會眾都聽從他。
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him, by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, even the whole assembly.
他要站在祭司以利亞撒面前；以利亞撒要憑烏陵的判斷，在耶和華面前為他求問。他和以色列全會眾都要遵以利亞撒的命出入。」
22 And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly.
於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的將約書亞領來，使他站在祭司以利亞撒和全會眾面前，
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him commandment, as Jehovah had said through Moses.
按手在他頭上，囑咐他，是照耶和華藉摩西所說的話。
