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.

¹Tedaj pristopijo hčere Zelofada, sinu Heferja, sinu Gileada, sinu Mahirja, sinu Manasejevega, izmed rodovin Manaseja, sinu Jožefovega; in ta so imena hčera njegovih: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka in Tirza.

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,

²Te torej se postavijo pred Mojzesa in Eleazarja duhovnika in pred kneze in vso občino ob vratih shodnega šatora ter reko:

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.

³Naš oče je umrl v puščavi, pa ni bil v družbi tistih, ki so se zbrali zoper GOSPODA, v družbi Korahovi, ampak umrl je vsled svojega greha; sinov pa ni imel.

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.”

⁴Zakaj naj bi izginilo ime očeta našega med rodovino njegovo, ker ni imel sina? Dajte nam posestvo med brati očeta našega!

⁵Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.

⁵Tedaj prinese Mojzes njih pravdo pred GOSPODA.

⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁶In GOSPOD mu odgovori, rekoč:

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.

⁷Prav so govorile hčere Zelofadove: moraš jim dati dedno posest med brati njih očeta; naredi torej, da preide dediščina njih očeta nanje.

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.

⁸Sinovom Izraelovim pa govóri, rekoč: Če kdo umrje brez sina, prenesite njegovo dediščino na hčer njegovo;

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

⁹ako pa nima hčere, dajte dediščino njegovo bratom njegovim;

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

¹⁰ako pa nima bratov, dajte njegovo dediščino bratom očeta njegovega;

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.’”

¹¹ako pa ni bratov očeta njegovega, dajte dediščino njegovo najbližjemu sorodniku iz rodovine njegove, da mu bodi v last. In to bodi sinovom Izraelovim sodna postava, kakor je GOSPOD zapovedal Mojzesu.

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

¹²In GOSPOD veli Mojzesu: Pojdi na to goro Abarim, in oglej ž nje deželo, ki sem jo dal sinovom Izraelovim.

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

¹³In ko si jo ogledaš, boš zbran tudi ti k ljudstvu svojemu, kakor je bil zbran Aron, brat tvoj,

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.)

¹⁴ker sta se upirala povelju mojemu v puščavi Zinski ob prepiru občine, ko bi me bila morala svetega izkazati pri vodah vpričo njih. (To je tista Voda prepira v Kadesu v Zinski puščavi.)

¹⁵Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,

¹⁵Mojzes pa ogovori GOSPODA takole:

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

¹⁶Postavi naj GOSPOD, Bog duhov vsega mesa, nad občino moža,

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.”

¹⁷ki naj bi hodil pred njimi ven in noter ter jih vodil ven in noter, da ne bo GOSPODOVA občina kakor ovce brez pastirja.

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

¹⁸Nato reče GOSPOD Mojzesu: Vzemi si Jozueta, sina Nunovega, moža, v katerem je Duh, in položi roko nanj,

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

¹⁹ter ga postavi pred Eleazarja duhovnika in pred vso občino in mu zapovej vpričo njih,

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

²⁰in deni nanj časti svoje, da bi mu bila poslušna vsa občina Izraelovih otrok.

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.”

²¹In naj stopi pred Eleazarja duhovnika, in ta naj vpraša zanj po sodbi Urima pred GOSPODOM: na njegovo povelje pridejo ven in na njegovo povelje pojdejo noter, on in vsi Izraelovi sinovi ž njim, vsa občina.

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

²²Tedaj je storil Mojzes, kakor mu je bil zapovedal GOSPOD; in vzame Jozueta ter ga postavi pred Eleazarja duhovnika in pred vso občino,in položi nanj roke in mu da zapoved, kakor je bil govoril GOSPOD po Mojzesu.

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

²³in položi nanj roke in mu da zapoved, kakor je bil govoril GOSPOD po Mojzesu.
