Kwan 36
1 Jatend anywola mar joka Gilead wuod Makir, ma wuod Manase, mane oa e dhout nyikwa Josef, nobiro mi owuoyo e nyim Musa kod jotelo, ma gin jotend anywola mag jo-Israel.
Now the heads of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came to Moses, the chiefs and the heads of families of the children of Israel being present,
2 Negiwacho niya, “Kane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo ruodha chik mondo opog piny ne jo-Israel kigoyo ombulu, nomiyi chik mondo pok mag owadwa Zelofehad mi nyige.
And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.
3 Koro parane ni onywomgi gi chwo moa e dhout jo-Israel mamoko; to pokgi nogol kuom pok mar kwerewa, mi med libamba mane onywomogi. Omiyo bath pok marwa nomawa.
Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.
4 Ka Higa mar Piero Abich mar jo-Israel ochopo (tiende ni Jubli), to nokaw girkeni mag-gi kigolo kuom gikeni mar dhoodgi kimedo e dhood joma onywomogi.”
And at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Eka Musa nomiyo jo-Israel wach machalo kama kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye omiye: “Gima dhood nyikwa Josef wacho nikare.
So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.
6 Ma e chik ma Jehova Nyasaye chiwo kuom nyi Zelofehad: Inyalo nywomgi gi ngʼato angʼata ma gihero moa e dhoodgi.
This is the order of the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: The Lord says, Let them take as their husbands whoever is most pleasing to them, but only among the family of their father's tribe.
7 Onge pok mar Israel maa e dhoodni to dhi e dhoot machielo, nimar ja-Israel moro ka moro norit lowo mane oyudo koa kuom kwerene.
And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.
8 Nyako moro amora ma oyudo pok mar lowo kaka girkeni e dhood Israel moro amora nyaka nyuom gi ngʼato moa e dhood wuon mare, mondo omi ja-Israel moro amora oyud pok mar wuon mare.
And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage of his fathers.
9 Onge pok mano kadhi koa e dhoodni kadhi e dhoot machielo, nimar ja-Israel moro amora nyaka rit lop kwerene.”
And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.
10 Omiyo nyi Zelofehad notimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosemiyo Musa chik.
So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord gave orders to Moses:
11 Nyi Zelofehad miluongo ni Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka kod Nowa nonywom gi ominegi ma yawuot owadgi wuon-gi.
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:
12 Nonywomgi ei anywola mar nyikwa Manase wuod Josef, kendo pok margi nosiko e anywola gi wuon-gi kendo e dhood gi wuon-gi.
And were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and their property was kept in the tribe of their father's family
13 Magi e chike kod buche mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo kokalo kuom Musa mondo omi jo-Israel e pewe mag Moab e bath Aora Jordan kama omanyore gi Jeriko.
These are the laws and the orders which the Lord gave to the children of Israel by Moses, in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho.
