民數記-Numbers 第 27 章 1-11節

27:1 屬約瑟兒子瑪拿西各家族的，有瑪拿西的玄孫，瑪姬的曾孫，基列的孫子，希弗的兒子西羅非哈的女兒，名叫瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒；她們近前來，

Then the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph came near. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah and Tirzah.

27:2 站在會幕門口，在摩西和祭司以利亞撒，並眾首領與全會眾面前，說，

And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

27:3 我們的父親死在曠野，他沒有在可拉一党中，隨從他們聚集攻擊耶和華，是在自己罪中死的；他也沒有兒子。

Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.

27:4 為什麼因我們的父親沒有兒子，就把他的名從他家族中除掉呢？求你們在我們父親的弟兄中，給我們產業。

Why should our father's name be taken away from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father's brothers.

27:5 於是，摩西將她們的案件呈到耶和華面前。

And Moses brought their case before Jehovah.

27:6 耶和華對摩西說，

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

27:7 西羅非哈的女兒說得有理。你一定要在她們父親的弟兄中，把地業給她們作產業；要將她們父親的產業歸給她們。

The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly. You shall surely give them the possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

27:8 也要對以色列人說，人若死了沒有兒子，就要把他的產業歸給他的女兒。

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.

27:9 他若沒有女兒，就要把他的產業給他的弟兄。

And if he does not have a daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

27:10 他若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他父親的弟兄。

And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

27:11 他父親若沒有弟兄，就要把他的產業給他家族中最近的親屬，他便要得為業。這要作以色列人判斷的律例，是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。

And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his relative nearest to him among his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be a statute of judgment for the children of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
