Numbers 27
1 Then 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 came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, 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 They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Steteruntque coram Moyse et Eleazaro sacerdote, et cunctis principibus populi ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis, atque dixerunt:
3 “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not amongst the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He 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 taken away from amongst his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession amongst the brothers of our father.”
Retulitque Moyses causam earum ad iudicium Domini.
5 Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Qui dixit ad eum:
6 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 right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance amongst their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
Ad filios autem Israel loqueris hæc:
8 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
Homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio, ad filiam eius transibit hereditas.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
si filiam non habuerit, habebit successores fratres suos.
10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
quod si et fratres non fuerint, dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius.
11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, 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 The LORD said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of 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 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
cumque videris eam, ibis et tu ad populum tuum, sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron:
14 because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honour me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of 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 Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
Cui respondit Moyses:
16 “Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint 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 come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be 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 The LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Tolle Iosue filium Nun virum in quo est Spiritus, et pone manum tuam super eum.
19 Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
Qui stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni multitudine:
20 You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
et dabis ei præcepta cunctis videntibus, et partem gloriæ tuæ, ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israel.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall enquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall 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, siquid agendum erit, Eleazar sacerdos consulet Dominum. Ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse, et omnes filii Israel cum eo, et cetera multitudo.
22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him. 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 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
Et impositis capiti eius manibus, cuncta replicavit quæ mandaverat Dominus.
