Numbers, 27

1. Then there approached the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Mahlah, and Noa, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

1. Tada pristupiše kæeri Selofhada, sina Heferova, sina Gileadova, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova iz roda Josipova sina Manašea. A imena kæeri bila su: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka i Tirsa.

2. And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people, at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and they said:

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

3. “Our father died in the desert, and was not with the sedition, which was stirred up against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; he had no male sons. Why is his name taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.”

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.

4. And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.

4. Zašto bi se odstranilo ime našega oca iz njegova roda? Buduæi da nije imao sina, daj nama posjed meðu braæom našega oca!"

5. And the Lord said to him:

5. Mojsije iznese njihov sluèaj pred Jahvu.

6. “The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.

6. A Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

7. And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:

7. "Selofhadove kæeri pravo kažu. Treba svakako da im dadneš posjed koji æe biti njihova baština meðu braæom njihova oca. Prenesi na njih baštinu njihova oca.

8. When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.

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

9. If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.

9. Ne imadne li ni kæeri, predajte baštinu njegovoj braæi.

10. But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.

10. Ako ne imadne ni braæe, njegovu baštinu podajte braæi njegova oca.

11. But if he has no paternal uncles, the inheritance shall be given to those who are closest to him. And this shall be, for the sons of Israel, consecrated as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed Moses.”

11. Ako mu otac ne imadne braæe, baštinu njegovu podajte najbližem roðaku njegova roda: neka je on uzme u posjed.' Neka to bude zakonska odredba Izraelcima, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju."

12. The Lord also said to Moses: “Ascend onto this mountain, Abarim, and contemplate from there the land, which I will give to the sons of Israel.

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

13. And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.

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

14. For you offended me in the desert of Sin at the Contradiction of the multitude; neither were you willing to sanctify me in their sight over the waters. These are the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh in the desert of Sin.”

14. Jer ste se u pobuni zajednice u pustinji Sin usprotivili mojim ustima umjesto da vodom oèitujete moju svetost pred njihovim oèima." (To su Meripske vode kod Kadeša u Sinskoj pustinji.)

15. Moses answered him:

15. A Jahvi Mojsije progovori ovako:

16. “May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,

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

17. and who may be able to exit and enter before them, and who may lead them out or lead them in: lest the people of the Lord be like sheep without a shepherd.”

17. koji æe pred njom izlaziti; koji æe pred njom stupati; koji æe je izvoditi i uvoditi tako da Jahvina zajednica ne bude kao stado što nema pastira."

18. And the Lord said to him: “Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is, and place your hand upon him.

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

19. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.

19. Onda ga odvedi pred sveæenika Eleazara i pred svu zajednicu te mu na njihove oèi daj naredbe!

20. And you shall give him the precepts in the sight of all, and a portion of your glory, so that the entire congregation of the sons of Israel may listen to him.

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

21. On his behalf, if anything is to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord. He, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude, shall go out and enter in at his word.”

21. Neka pristupa k sveæeniku Eleazaru, koji æe 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."

22. Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And when he had brought Joshua, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the entire gathering of the people.

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

23. And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.

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