¹فتقدمت بنات صلفحاد بن حافر بن جلعاد بن ماكير بن منسّى من عشائر منسّى بن يوسف. وهذه اسماء بناته محلة ونوعة وحجلة وملكة وترصة.

¹Then 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 are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

²ووقفن امام موسى والعازار الكاهن وامام الرؤساء وكل الجماعة لدى باب خيمة الاجتماع قائلات.

²They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

³ابونا مات في البرية ولم يكن في القوم الذين اجتمعوا على الرب في جماعة قورح بل بخطيته مات ولم يكن له بنون.

³“Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

⁴لماذا يحذف اسم ابينا من بين عشيرته لانه ليس له ابن. أعطنا ملكا بين اخوة ابينا.

⁴Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”

⁵فقدم موسى دعواهنّ امام الرب

⁵Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.

⁶فكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁷بحق تكلمت بنات صلفحاد فتعطيهنّ ملك نصيب بين اخوة ابيهنّ وتنقل نصيب ابيهنّ اليهنّ.

⁷“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

⁸وتكلم بني اسرائيل قائلا أيّما رجل مات وليس له ابن تنقلون ملكه الى ابنته.

⁸You 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.

⁹وان لم تكن له ابنة تعطوا ملكه لاخوته.

⁹If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

¹⁰وان لم يكن له اخوة تعطوا ملكه لاخوة ابيه.

¹⁰If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

¹¹وان لم يكن لابيه اخوة تعطوا ملكه لنسيبه الاقرب اليه من عشيرته فيرثه. فصارت لبني اسرائيل فريضة قضاء كما امر الرب موسى

¹¹If 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: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’”

¹²وقال الرب لموسى اصعد الى جبل عباريم هذا وانظر الارض التي اعطيت بني اسرائيل.

¹²Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

¹³ومتى نظرتها تضمّ الى قومك انت ايضا كما ضم هرون اخوك.

¹³When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;

¹⁴لانكما في برية صين عند مخاصمة الجماعة عصيتما قولي ان تقدساني بالماء امام اعينهم. ذلك ماء مريبة قادش في برية صين.

¹⁴because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

¹⁵فكلم موسى الرب قائلا.

¹⁵Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,

¹⁶ليوكل الرب اله ارواح جميع البشر رجلا على الجماعة

¹⁶“Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

¹⁷يخرج امامهم ويدخل امامهم ويخرجهم ويدخلهم لكيلا تكون جماعة الرب كالغنم التي لا راعي لها.

¹⁷who 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 Yahweh not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”

¹⁸فقال الرب لموسى خذ يشوع بن نون رجلا فيه روح وضع يدك عليه

¹⁸Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;

¹⁹واوقفه قدام العازار الكاهن وقدام كل الجماعة واوصه امام اعينهم.

¹⁹and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

²⁰واجعل من هيبتك عليه لكي يسمع له كل جماعة بني اسرائيل.

²⁰You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

²¹فيقف امام العازار الكاهن فيسأل له بقضاء الأوريم امام الرب. حسب قوله يخرجون وحسب قوله يدخلون هو وكل بني اسرائيل معه كل الجماعة.

²¹He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh: 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.”

²²ففعل موسى كما امره الرب. اخذ يشوع واوقفه قدام العازار الكاهن وقدام كل الجماعة

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

²³ووضع يديه عليه واوصاه كما تكلم الرب عن يد موسى

²³and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.
