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.
And the chief fathers 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 near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
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 they said, YHWH commanded my master to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my master was commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto 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.
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
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 when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance 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.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of YHWH, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 Ma e chik ma Jehova Nyasaye chiwo kuom nyi Zelofehad: Inyalo nywomgi gi ngʼato angʼata ma gihero moa e dhoodgi.
This is the thing which YHWH doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
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.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
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, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Onge pok mano kadhi koa e dhoodni kadhi e dhoot machielo, nimar ja-Israel moro amora nyaka rit lop kwerene.”
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Omiyo nyi Zelofehad notimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosemiyo Musa chik.
Even as YHWH commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Nyi Zelofehad miluongo ni Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka kod Nowa nonywom gi ominegi ma yawuot owadgi wuon-gi.
For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
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 they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
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 commandments and the judgments, which YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
