Numbers 27
1 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
Tada pristupiše kćeri Selofhada, sina Heferova, sina Gileadova, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova iz roda Josipova sina Manašea. A imena kćeri bila su: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.
2 and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and all the Israelites at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They said,
One stanu pred Mojsija, pred svećenika Eleazara, pred glavare i svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka pa reknu:
3 “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.
“Naš je otac umro u pustinji. Nije pripadao družini što se pobunila protiv Jahve - Korahovoj družini - nego je umro od svoga vlastitoga grijeha. Sinova nije imao.
4 Why should our family name be lost simply because he didn't have a son? Give us land to own alongside our uncles.”
Zašto bi se odstranilo ime našega oca iz njegova roda? Budući da nije imao sina, daj nama posjed među braćom našega oca!”
5 Moses took their case before the Lord.
Mojsije iznese njihov slučaj pred Jahvu.
6 The Lord gave him this answer,
A Jahve reče Mojsiju:
7 “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.
“Selofhadove kćeri pravo kažu. Treba svakako da im dadneš posjed koji će biti njihova baština među braćom njihova oca. Prenesi na njih baštinu njihova oca.
8 In addition, tell the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and doesn't have a no son, give his property to his daughter.
Nadalje, reci Izraelcima: 'Kad koji čovjek umre a ne imadne sina, prenesite njegovu baštinu na njegovu kćer.
9 If he doesn't have a daughter, give his property to his brothers.
Ne imadne li ni kćeri, predajte baštinu njegovoj braći.
10 If he doesn't have brothers, give his property to his father's brothers.
Ako ne imadne ni braće, njegovu baštinu podajte braći njegova oca.
11 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.’”
Ako mu otac ne imadne braće, baštinu njegovu podajte najbližem rođaku njegova roda: neka je on uzme u posjed.' Neka to bude zakonska odredba Izraelcima, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.”
12 The Lord told Moses, “Go up into the Abarim mountains so you can see the land that I have given the Israelites.
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Popni se na ovo brdo Abarim i razgledaj zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.
13 After you have seen it, you will also join your forefathers in death, just as your brother Aaron did,
A kad budeš razgledao, pridružit ćeš se svojim precima i ti, kako se pridružio i tvoj brat Aron.
14 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.)
Jer ste se u pobuni zajednice u pustinji Sin usprotivili mojim ustima umjesto da vodom očitujete moju svetost pred njihovim očima.” (To su Meripske vode kod Kadeša u Sinskoj pustinji.)
15 Then Moses pleaded with the Lord,
A Jahvi Mojsije progovori ovako:
16 “May the Lord, the God who gives life to all living beings, choose a man to lead the Israelites
“Neka Jahve, Bog duhova u svakom tijelu, postavi čovjeka nad ovom zajednicom
17 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.”
koji će pred njom izlaziti; koji će pred njom stupati; koji će je izvoditi i uvoditi tako da Jahvina zajednica ne bude kao stado što nema pastira.”
18 The Lord told Moses, “Call for Joshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and place your hands on him.
“Uzmi Jošuu, sina Nunova!” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “To je čovjek u kome ima duha. Na nj položi ruku svoju!
19 Make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites, and dedicate him while they watch.
Onda ga odvedi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu te mu na njihove oči daj naredbe!
20 Hand over some of your authority to him so that all the Israelites will obey him.
Predaj mu dio svoje vlasti da ga sluša sva zajednica sinova Izraelovih.
21 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.”
Neka pristupa k svećeniku Eleazaru, koji će za nj tražiti odluke Urima pred Jahvom. Na njegovu zapovijed neka izlaze i na njegovu zapovijed neka ulaze, oni i svi Izraelci s njim - sva zajednica.”
22 Moses followed the Lord's instructions. He had Joshua come and stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites.
Mojsije učini kako mu je Jahve naredio: uzme Jošuu te ga postavi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu.
23 Moses placed his hands on Joshua and dedicated him, just as the Lord had told him to do.
Položi zatim na nj svoje ruke i dade mu svoje naredbe, kako je Jahve zapovjedio preko Mojsija.
