Bilang 27
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Anak na Babae ni Zelofehad
27 Si Zelofehad ay may mga anak na babae na sina Mahlah, Noe, Hogla, Milca at Tirza. Si Zelofehad ay anak ni Hefer at apo ni Gilead na anak ni Makir at apo ni Manase. Si Manase ay anak ni Jose. 2 Ngayon, nagpunta ang mga babaeng ito sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan at tumayo sa harapan nina Moises, Eleazar, ng mga pinuno at ng buong kapulungan ng Israel. Sinabi ng mga babae, 3 “Namatay ang aming ama roon sa ilang na walang anak na lalaki. Pero namatay siya hindi dahil sa tagasunod siya ni Kora na nagrebelde sa Panginoon, kundi dahil sa sarili niyang kasalanan. 4 Dahil lang po ba sa walang anak na lalaki ang aming ama, mawawala na ang kanyang pangalan sa sambahayan ng Israel? Bigyan din ninyo kami ng lupa tulad ng natanggap ng aming mga kamag-anak.”
5 Kaya sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon ang kanilang hinihingi. 6 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 7 “Tama ang sinabi ng mga anak na babae ni Zelofehad. Kailangang bigyan mo sila ng lupa kasama ng mga kamag-anak ng kanilang ama. Ibigay sa kanila ang lupa na dapat sana ay sa kanilang ama.
8 “At sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na kung mamatay ang isang tao na hindi nagkaanak ng lalaki, kailangang ibigay sa kanyang anak na babae ang kanyang lupa. 9 At kung wala siyang anak na babae, ibigay sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki. 10 At kung wala siyang kapatid na lalaki, ibigay ang kanyang lupa sa kapatid na lalaki ng kanyang ama. 11 Kung walang kapatid na lalaki ang kanyang ama, ibigay ang kanyang lupa sa pinakamalapit niyang kamag-anak at ang kanyang kamag-anak ang magmamana ng lupa. Itoʼy susundin ng mga Israelita bilang isang legal na kautusang dapat sundin, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo, Moises.”
Pinili si Josue Bilang Kapalit ni Moises(A)
12 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Umakyat ka sa kabundukan ng Abarim at tingnan mo roon ang lupaing ibinigay ko sa mga Israelita. 13 Pagkatapos mong makita ito, sasama ka na sa piling ng mga yumao mong ninuno, tulad ng kapatid mong si Aaron. 14 Dahil noong nagrebelde ang mga Israelita sa akin doon sa bukal ng ilang ng Zin, sinuway ninyo ni Aaron ang aking utos na ipakita ang aking kabanalan sa mga mamamayan.” (Ang bukal na ito ay ang Meriba na nasa Kadesh sa ilang ng Zin.) 15 Sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, 16 “O Panginoon, Dios na pinanggagalingan ng buhay ng lahat ng tao, pumili po sana kayo ng isang tao na mamumuno sa mga mamamayang ito 17 at mangunguna sa kanila sa labanan, upang ang inyong mga mamamayan ay hindi maging tulad ng mga tupang walang tagapagbantay.”
18 Kaya sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Ipatawag si Josue na anak ni Nun, na puspos ng Espiritu, at ipatong mo ang iyong kamay sa kanyang ulo. 19 Patayuin siya sa harapan ng paring si Eleazar at ng buong kapulungan, at ipaalam mo sa kanila na pinili mo siya para pumalit sa iyo. 20 Ibigay mo sa kanya ang iba mong kapangyarihan upang sundin siya ng buong mamamayan ng Israel. 21 Kay Eleazar niya malalaman ang aking pasya sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ni Eleazar ng ‘Urim’[a] sa aking presensya. Sa pamamagitan nito, masusubaybayan ni Eleazar si Josue at ang lahat ng mga Israelita sa kanilang gagawin.”
22 Kaya ginawa ni Moises ang iniutos sa kanya ng Panginoon. Ipinatawag niya si Josue at pinatayo sa harapan ng paring si Eleazar at ng buong kapulungan. 23 At ayon sa iniutos sa kanya ng Panginoon, ipinatong niya ang kanyang kamay kay Josue at ipinahayag na si Josue ang papalit sa kanya.

Numbers 27
English Standard Version
The Daughters of Zelophehad
27 Then drew near the daughters of (A)Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 “Our father (B)died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord (C)in the company of Korah, but (D)died for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? (E)Give to us a possession among our father's brothers.”
5 Moses (F)brought their case before the Lord. 6 And the Lord said to Moses, 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad (G)are right. (H)You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest (I)kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel (J)a statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into (K)this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel. 13 When you have seen it, you also (L)shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 (M)because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing (N)to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are (O)the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “Let the Lord, (P)the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation 17 who (Q)shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be (R)as sheep that have no shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take (S)Joshua the son of Nun, a man (T)in whom is the Spirit, and (U)lay your hand on him. 19 Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall (V)commission him in their sight. 20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, (W)that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey. 21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him (X)by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.” 22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, 23 and he laid his hands on him and (Y)commissioned him as the Lord directed through Moses.
