Dân Số 27
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Các con gái của Xê-lô-phê-hát
27 Lúc đó các con gái của Xê-lô-phê-hát đến. Xê-lô-phê-hát là con trai của Hê-phe, cháu Ghi-lê-át, chắt Ma-kia, chít Ma-na-xe. Các con gái Xê-lô-phê-hát thuộc họ Ma-na-xe, con trai Giô-xép. Tên các cô gái đó là Ma-la, Nô-ê, Hóc-la, Minh-ca và Thiệt-xa. 2 Các cô đến cửa Lều Họp đứng trước Mô-se, thầy tế lễ Ê-lê-a-sa, các lãnh tụ, và toàn thể dân chúng.
Các cô thưa, 3 “Cha chúng tôi đã chết trong sa mạc. Ông ấy không phải là một trong những kẻ theo phe Cô-ra phản nghịch lại CHÚA, nhưng ông chết vì tội mình, và không có con trai. 4 Vì không có con trai cho nên tên của cha chúng tôi sẽ tiêu mất. Xin cấp cho chúng tôi tài sản giữa vòng thân nhân của cha chúng tôi.”
5 Mô-se trình trường hợp các cô lên CHÚA, 6 CHÚA bảo ông rằng, 7 “Các con gái Xê-lô-phê-hát có lý; chúng phải nhận được phần tài sản của cha chúng. Hãy cấp cho chúng tài sản giữa vòng thân nhân của cha chúng.
8 Hãy bảo người Ít-ra-en: Nếu người nào chết không có con trai thì tất cả tài sản [a] người sẽ về con gái người ấy. 9 Nếu người không có con gái thì tất cả tài sản người sẽ về anh em người. 10 Nếu người không có anh em thì tất cả tài sản người sẽ về chú bác người. 11 Và nếu cha người không có anh em thì tất cả tài sản người sẽ về thân nhân gần nhất trong dòng họ. Đây là qui tắc cho dân Ít-ra-en, theo như mệnh lệnh CHÚA truyền dặn Mô-se.”
Giô-suê được cử làm lãnh tụ
12 Sau đó CHÚA bảo Mô-se, “Hãy leo lên núi A-ba-rim nầy và nhìn khắp xứ mà ta đã cho dân Ít-ra-en. 13 Sau khi nhìn thấy xứ đó, con sẽ qua đời về với tổ tiên như A-rôn anh con, 14 vì hai con hành động nghịch lại mệnh lệnh ta trong sa mạc Xin. Con không tôn ta là thánh trước mặt dân chúng nơi các suối Mê-ri-ba [b].” (Tức là các suối Mê-ri-ba ở Ca-đe trong sa mạc Xin.)
15 Mô-se thưa cùng CHÚA, 16 “CHÚA là Thượng Đế của tất cả thần linh trong mọi người. Xin Ngài chọn một lãnh tụ để hướng dẫn dân nầy, 17 Người sẽ đi vào ra trước mặt họ. Người sẽ dẫn họ ra như đàn chiên và mang họ vào; dân chúng của CHÚA chẳng nên như chiên không có người chăn.”
18 Vì vậy CHÚA bảo Mô-se, “Hãy chọn Giô-suê, con trai của Nun, vì Thần linh ta ở trong người. Hãy đặt tay con trên người, 19 bảo người đứng trước mặt thầy tế lễ Ê-lê-a-sa và cả dân chúng. Rồi ra lệnh cho người trước sự chứng kiến của họ.
20 Hãy san sẻ quyền lực của con cho người, để dân Ít-ra-en vâng lời người. 21 Người phải đứng trước mặt thầy tế lễ Ê-lê-a-sa, rồi Ê-lê-a-sa sẽ dùng U-rim tìm biết ý CHÚA. Dân Ít-ra-en sẽ đi ra theo lệnh người, và sẽ đi vào cũng theo lệnh người.”
22 Mô-se làm theo mọi điều CHÚA bảo mình. Ông mang Giô-suê ra đứng trước mặt thầy tế lễ Ê-lê-a-sa và cả dân chúng, 23 rồi đặt tay trên người và truyền lệnh, như CHÚA đã dặn ông.

Inheritance Laws
27 Then came the daughters of (A)Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying: 3 “Our father (B)died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, (C)in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be (D)removed[a] from among his family because he had no son? (E)Give us a [b]possession among our father’s brothers.”
5 So Moses (F)brought their case before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; (G)you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 8 And you 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. 9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 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 relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’ ” And it shall be to the children of Israel (H)a statute of judgment, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
Joshua the Next Leader of Israel(I)
12 Now the Lord said to Moses: (J)“Go up into this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. 13 And when you have seen it, you also (K)shall [c]be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered. 14 For in the Wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you (L)rebelled against My command to hallow Me at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the (M)waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)
15 Then Moses spoke to the Lord, saying: 16 “Let the Lord, (N)the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 17 (O)who may go out before them and go in before them, who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be (P)like sheep which have no shepherd.”
18 And the Lord said to Moses: “Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man (Q)in whom is the Spirit, and (R)lay your hand on him; 19 set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and (S)inaugurate[d] him in their sight. 20 And (T)you shall give some of your authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel (U)may be obedient. 21 (V)He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire before the Lord for him (W)by the judgment of the Urim. (X)At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him—all the congregation.”
22 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation. 23 And he laid his hands on him (Y)and [e]inaugurated him, just as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

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.
