¹Then 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.

¹Tada 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.

²And 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,

²One stanu pred Mojsija, pred svećenika Eleazara, pred glavare i svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka pa reknu:

³Our 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.

³"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.

⁴Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

⁴Zašto bi se odstranilo ime našega oca iz njegova roda? Budući da nije imao sina, daj nama posjed među braćom našega oca!"

⁵And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

⁵Mojsije iznese njihov slučaj pred Jahvu.

⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶A Jahve reče Mojsiju:

⁷The 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.

⁷"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.

⁸And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

⁸Nadalje, reci Izraelcima: 'Kad koji čovjek umre a ne imadne sina, prenesite njegovu baštinu na njegovu kćer.

⁹And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

⁹Ne imadne li ni kćeri, predajte baštinu njegovoj braći.

¹⁰And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

¹⁰Ako ne imadne ni braće, njegovu baštinu podajte braći njegova oca.

¹¹And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

¹¹Ako 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."

¹²And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

¹²Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Popni se na ovo brdo Abarim i razgledaj zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.

¹³And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

¹³A kad budeš razgledao, pridružit ćeš se svojim precima i ti, kako se pridružio i tvoj brat Aron.

¹⁴For 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.

¹⁴Jer 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.)

¹⁵And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

¹⁵A Jahvi Mojsije progovori ovako:

¹⁶Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

¹⁶"Neka Jahve, Bog duhova u svakom tijelu, postavi čovjeka nad ovom zajednicom

¹⁷Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

¹⁷koji 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."

¹⁸And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

¹⁸"Uzmi Jošuu, sina Nunova!" - reče Jahve Mojsiju. "To je čovjek u kome ima duha. Na nj položi ruku svoju!

¹⁹And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

¹⁹Onda ga odvedi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu te mu na njihove oči daj naredbe!

²⁰And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

²⁰Predaj mu dio svoje vlasti da ga sluša sva zajednica sinova Izraelovih.

²¹And 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.

²¹Neka 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."

²²And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

²²Mojsije učini kako mu je Jahve naredio: uzme Jošuu te ga postavi pred svećenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu.

²³And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

²³Položi zatim na nj svoje ruke i dade mu svoje naredbe, kako je Jahve zapovjedio preko Mojsija.
