Numbers 36

1 And the heads of the fathers of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the rulers, the heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel.

Tada pristupe obiteljski glavari od roda sinova Gileada, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova, jednoga roda Josipovih sinova, te pred Mojsijem i starješinama, glavarima obitelji,

2 And they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel. And my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

reknu: “Jahve je naredio našemu gospodaru da kockom dade ovu zemlju u baštinu Izraelcima; nadalje, našem je gospodaru naredio Jahve da baštinu našega brata Selofhada dade njegovim kćerima.

3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

Ali ako se one udaju za koga iz drugog izraelskoga plemena, onda će njihova baština biti otrgnuta od naše djedovske baštine i biti priključena baštini plemena kojemu one pripadnu. Tako će se okrnjiti baština koja kockom pripadne nama.

4 And when the jubilee of the sons of Israel shall be, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

A kada nastupi jubilej Izraelcima, baština će se tih žena dodati baštini plemena kojemu pripadnu. Tako će njihova baština biti oduzeta od baštine našega pradjedovskog plemena.”

5 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak right.

I po zapovijedi Jahvinoj Mojsije naredi Izraelcima: “Pleme Josipovih sinova pravo govori.

6 This is the thing which Jehovah commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best, only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.

Ovo naređuje Jahve za Selofhadove kćeri: Neka se one udaju za onoga koji im se učini dobar, samo neka se udaju u rod svoga očinskoga plemena.

7 So no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall remove from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall cling each one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Baština Izraelaca ne smije se prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo; i svaki Izraelac mora ostati privezan uz pradjedovsku baštinu svoga plemena.

8 And every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the sons of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.

Zato se svaka djevojka koja steče baštinu u izraelskim plemenima mora udati za nekoga u plemenu kojemu pripada rod joj očev, tako da bi svaki Izraelac sačuvao baštinu svoga oca.

9 So no inheritance shall move from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cling each one to his own inheritance.

Tako se baština neće prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo, nego će svako izraelsko pleme prianjati uza svoju baštinu.”

10 Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad,

Kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio, tako su i učinile kćeri Selofhadove:

11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophedad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.

Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka i Noa, kćeri Selofhadove, udaše se za sinove svojih stričeva.

12 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.

Kako su se udale u rod potomstva Manašea, Josipova sina, njihova je baština ostala u plemenu kojemu pripadaše rod im očev.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded by Moses to the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

To su zapovijedi i zakoni koje je Jahve preko Mojsija izdao Izraelcima na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu.
