< Numbers 27 >

1 Then came 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 are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Accesserunt autem filiæ Salphaad, filii Hepher, filii Galaad, filii Machir, filii Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph: quarum sunt nomina, Maala, et Noa, et Hegla, et Melcha, et Thersa.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Steteruntque coram Moyse et Eleazaro sacerdote, et cunctis principibus populi ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis, atque dixerunt:
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
Pater noster mortuus est in deserto, nec fuit in seditione, quæ concitata est contra Dominum sub Core, sed in peccato suo mortuus est: hic non habuit mares filios. Cur tollitur nomen illius de familia sua, quia non habuit filium? Date nobis possessionem inter cognatos patris nostri.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
Retulitque Moyses causam earum ad iudicium Domini.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Qui dixit ad eum:
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Iustam rem postulant filiæ Salphaad: da eis possessionem inter cognatos patris sui, et ei in hereditatem succedant.
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is 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 to them.
Ad filios autem Israel loqueris hæc:
8 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man shall die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
Homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio, ad filiam eius transibit hereditas.
9 And if he shall have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
Si filiam non habuerit, habebit successores fratres suos.
10 And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father’s brethren.
Quod si et fratres non fuerint, dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius.
11 And if his father shall have no brethren, then ye shall give inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Sin autem nec patruos habuerit, dabitur hereditas his, qui ei proximi sunt. Eritque hoc filiis Israel sanctum lege perpetua, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.
12 And the LORD said to Moses, go up to this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ascende in montem istum Abarim, et contemplare inde Terram, quam daturus sum filiis Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
Cumque videris eam, ibis et tu ad populum tuum, sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron:
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
quia offendistis me in deserto Sin in contradictione multitudinis, nec sanctificare me voluistis coram ea super aquas. Hæ sunt aquæ contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin.
15 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Cui respondit Moyses:
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
Provideat Dominus Deus spirituum omnis carnis, hominem, qui sit super multitudinem hanc:
17 Who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
et possit exire et intrare ante eos, et educere eos vel introducere: ne sit populus Domini sicut oves absque pastore.
18 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Tolle Iosue filium Nun virum in quo est Spiritus, et pone manum tuam super eum.
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
Qui stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni multitudine:
20 And thou shalt put some of thy honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
et dabis ei præcepta cunctis videntibus, et partem gloriæ tuæ, ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israel.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
Pro hoc, si quid agendum erit, Eleazar sacerdos consulet Dominum. Ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse, et omnes filii Israel cum eo, et cetera multitudo.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Fecit Moyses ut præceperat Dominus. Cumque tulisset Iosue, statuit eum coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni frequentia populi.
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Et impositis capiti eius manibus, cuncta replicavit quæ mandaverat Dominus.
