Numbers 27

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 There then came forward the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir,son of Manasseh; he belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. His daughters' names were Mahlah,Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.	1 Accesserunt autem filiae Sal phaad filii Hepher filii Ga laad filii Machir filii Manasse, e cognationibus Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph, quarum sunt nomina: Maala et Noa et Hegla et Melcha et Thersa.
2 They appeared before Moses, the priest Eleazar, the leaders and the whole community, at theentrance to the Tent of Meeting, and said,	2 Steteruntque coram Moyse et Eleazaro sacerdote et principibus et cuncta congregatione ad ostium tabernaculi conventus atque dixerunt:
3 'Our father died in the desert. He was not a member of the party who banded together againstYahweh, Korah's party; it was for his own sin that he died without sons.	3 “ Pater noster mortuus est in deserto, nec fuit in seditione, quae concitata est contra Dominum sub Core, sed in peccato suo mortuus est; hic non habuit mares filios.
4 Why should our father's name be lost to his clan? Since he had no son, give us some property likeour father's kinsmen.'	4 Cur tollitur nomen illius de familia sua, quia non habuit filium? Date nobis possessionem inter fratres patris nostri ”.
5 Moses took their case before Yahweh,	5 Rettulitque Moyses causam earum ad iudicium Domini,
6 and Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,	6 qui dixit ad eum:
7 'Zelophehad's daughters are right in what they say. You will indeed give them a property to be theirheritage among their father's kinsmen; see that their father's heritage is passed on to them.	7 “ Iustam rem postulant filiae Salphaad. Da eis possessionem inter fratres patris sui, et ei in hereditatem succedant.
8 Then speak to the Israelites and say, "If a man dies without sons, his heritage wil pass to hisdaughter.	8 Ad filios autem Israel loqueris haec: Homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio, ad filiam eius transibit hereditas;
9 If he has no daughter, the heritage will go to his brothers.	9 si filiam non habuerit, habebit successores fratres suos.
10 If he has no brothers, his heritage wil go to his father's brothers.	10 Quod si et fratres non fuerint, dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius.
11 If his father has no brothers, his heritage wil go to the member of his clan who is most nearlyrelated; it wil become his property. This will be a legal rule for the Israelites, as Yahweh has ordered Moses." '	11 Sin autem nec patruos habuerit, dabitur hereditas illi, qui ei proximus est e cognatione sua; possidebitque eam. Eritque hoc filiis Israel sanctum lege perpetua, sicut praecepit Dominus Moysi ”.
12 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Climb this mountain of the Abarim range, and look at the country which Ihave given to the Israelites.	12 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: “ Ascende in montem istum Abarim et contemplare inde terram, quam daturus sum filiis Israel.
13 After you have seen it, you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was.	13 Cumque videris eam, ibis et tu ad populum tuum, sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron,
14 For you both rebel ed in the desert of Zin when the community disputed with me and when I orderedyou to assert my holiness before their eyes by means of the water.' (These were the Waters of Meribah ofKadesh, in the desert of Zin.)	14 quia offendistis me in deserto Sin in contradictione congregationis, nec sanctificare me voluistis coram ea super aquas ”. Hae sunt aquae Meribathcades deserti Sin.
15 Moses then said to Yahweh,	15 Cui respondit Moyses:
16 'May it please Yahweh, God of the spirits that give life to al living creatures, to appoint a leader forthis community,	16 “ Provideat Dominus, Deus spirituum omnis carnis, hominem, qui sit super congregationem hanc
17 to be at their head in all their undertakings, a man who wil lead them out and bring them in, so thatYahweh's community wil not be like sheep without a shepherd.'	17 et possit exire et intrare ante eos et educere eos vel introducere, ne sit populus Domini sicut oves absque pastore ”.
18 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom the spirit dwel s, and lay yourhand on him.	18 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: “ Tolle Iosue filium Nun, virum in quo est spiritus; et pone manum tuam super eum,
19 Bring him before the priest Eleazar and the whole community and give him your orders in theirpresence,	19 quem statues coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni congregatione et dabis ei praecepta, cunctis videntibus,
20 conferring some of your own authority on him, so that the whole community of Israelites wil obeyhim.	20 et partem gloriae tuae, ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israel.
21 He wil present himself to the priest Eleazar who wil consult Yahweh on his behalf by means of therite of the urim; at his command, they wil go out and, at his command, they will come in, he and all the Israeliteswith him, the whole community.'	21 Stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote, qui pro eo iudicium Urim consulet Dominum. Ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse et omnes filii Israel cum eo, cuncta congregatio ”.
22 Moses did as Yahweh had ordered. He took Joshua, brought him before the priest Eleazar and thewhole community,	22 Fecit Moyses, ut praeceperat Dominus. Cumque tulisset Iosue, statuit eum coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni frequentia populi;
23 laid his hands on him and gave him his orders, as Yahweh had directed through Moses.	23 et, impositis capiti eius manibus, constituit eum, sicut mandaverat Dominus per manum Moysi.
