Numbers
Chapter27
1Zelophehad,sonofHepher,sonofGilead,sonofMachir,sonofManasseh,sonofJoseph,haddaughtersnamedMahlah,Noah,Hoglah,MilcahandTirzah.Theycameforward,
那时，若瑟的儿子默纳协家族内，责罗斐哈得的女儿们前来，──责罗斐哈得是赫斐尔的儿子，赫斐尔是基肋阿得的儿子，基肋阿得是玛基尔的儿子，玛基尔是默纳协的儿子；她们的名字是玛赫拉、诺阿、曷革拉、米耳加和提尔匝。
2andstandinginthepresenceofMoses,thepriestEleazar,theprinces,andthewholecommunityattheentranceofthemeetingtent,said:
她们站在梅瑟、大司祭厄肋阿匝尔、众领袖和全会众前，即会幕门口说：
31＂Ourfatherdiedinthedesert.AlthoughhedidnotjointhosewhobandedtogetheragainsttheLORD(inKorah'sband),hediedforhisownsinwithoutleavinganysons.
＂我们的父亲死在旷野，但他并不是科辣黑党派中，结党反抗上主的党徒，他只是因自已的罪死了，没有留下儿子。
4Butwhyshouldourfather'snamebewithdrawnfromhisclanmerelybecausehehadnoson?Letus,therefore,havepropertyamongourfather'skinsmen.＂
为什么让我们父亲的名字，因为没有儿子，就由本族中消灭？让我们在我们父亲的兄弟中，也分得一份产业。＂
52WhenMoseslaidtheircasebeforetheLORD,
梅瑟就将她们的案件呈到上主面前；
6theLORDsaidtohim,
上主训示梅瑟说：
7＂ThepleaofZelophehad'sdaughtersisjust;youshallgivethemhereditarypropertyamongtheirfather'skinsmen,lettingtheirfather'sheritagepassontothem.
＂责罗斐哈得的女儿们说得有理；你应在她们父亲兄弟中分给她们一份产业，将她们父亲的产业转让给她们。
8Therefore,telltheIsraelites:Ifamandieswithoutleavingason,youshalllethisheritagepassontohisdaughter;
并且你应训示以色列子民说：一个人死了，若没有儿子，你们应将他的产业转让给他的女儿；
9ifhehasnodaughter,youshallgivehisheritagetohisbrothers;
如果连女儿也没有，应将他的产业分给他的兄弟们。
10ifhehasnobrothers,youshallgivehisheritagetohisfather'sbrothers;
如果连一个兄弟也没有，应将他的产业分给他父亲的兄弟们。
11ifhisfatherhadnobrothers,youshallgivehisheritagetohisnearestrelativeinhisclan,whoshallthentakepossessionofit.＂ThisisthelegalnormfortheIsraelites,astheLORDcommandedMoses.
如果他的父亲也没有兄弟，应将他的产业分给他家族中与他最近的亲属，他应继承遗产：这是以色列子民当守的法令，如上主对梅瑟所吩咐的。＂
123TheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂GouphereintotheAbarimMountainsandviewthelandthatIamgivingtotheIsraelites.
上主对梅瑟说：＂你上这座阿巴陵山上去，看一看我赐给以色列子民的地方。
13Whenyouhaveviewedit,youtooshallbetakentoyourpeople,aswasyourbrotherAaron,
你看了以后，你也要归到你亲属那里去，如你哥哥亚郎归去一样。
14becauseintherebellionofthecommunityinthedesertofZinyoubothrebelledagainstmyordertomanifestmysanctitytothembymeansofthewater.＂(ThisisthewaterofMeribahofKadeshinthedesertofZin.)
因为在亲旷野里，当会众反叛时，我命你们在他们眼前以取水显我为圣时，你们违背了我的命令。＂【这是指在亲旷野中，在卡德士的默黎巴取水的事。】
15ThenMosessaidtotheLORD,
梅瑟向上主说：
164＂MaytheLORD,theGodofthespiritsofallmankind,setoverthecommunityaman
＂望上主，赐给一切血肉气息的天主，委派一人管理会众，
17whoshallactastheirleaderinallthings,toguidetheminalltheiractions;thattheLORD'Scommunitymaynotbelikesheepwithoutashepherd.＂
叫他处理他们的事件，领导他们出入，免得上主的会众如无牧之羊。＂
185AndtheLORDrepliedtoMoses,＂TakeJoshua,sonofNun,amanofspirit,andlayyourhanduponhim.
上主对梅瑟说：＂你应选用农的儿子若苏厄，他是个有精神的人，按手在他身上，
19HavehimstandinthepresenceofthepriestEleazarandofthewholecommunity,andcommissionhimbeforetheireyes.
叫他站在大司祭厄肋阿匝尔和全会众前，当着他们的面委派他。
20Investhimwithsomeofyourowndignity,thatthewholeIsraelitecommunitymayobeyhim.
将你的一些威权授给他，好叫以色列子民全会众听从他。
216HeshallpresenthimselftothepriestEleazar,tohavehimseekoutforhimthedecisionsoftheUrimintheLORD'Spresence;andashedirects,Joshua,alltheIsraeliteswithhim,andthecommunityasawholeshallperformalltheiractions.＂
但他应到大司祭厄肋阿匝尔面前，请司祭为他在上主面前咨询＂乌陵＂的决断，他和一切以色列子民及全会众，应依照指示去行事。＂
22MosesdidastheLORDhadcommandedhim.TakingJoshuaandhavinghimstandinthepresenceofthepriestEleazarandofthewholecommunity,
梅瑟就照上主吩咐他的做了；选用了若苏厄，叫他站在大司祭厄肋阿匝尔和全会众面前，
23helaidhishandsonhimandgavehimhiscommission,astheLORDhaddirectedthroughMoses.
按手在他身上，委派了他，全照上主借着梅瑟所吩咐的。
