Numbers 36
1 The heads of the fathers’ households of the family of the children 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 princes, the heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndịisi ezi agbụrụ Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase, otu nʼime ụmụ Josef, bịakwutere Mosis na ndị ndu, na ndịisi ezi ụmụ Izrel sị ha:
2 They said, “The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
“Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere unu onyenwe m iwu inye ụmụ Izrel ala ahụ nʼihe nketa site nʼife nza, onye nyekwara gị iwu iwere ihe nketa nwanne anyị nwoke Zelofehad nyefee nʼaka ụmụ ya ndị inyom.
3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children 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.
Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na ha alụọ ndị ikom Izrel si nʼebo ọzọ, mgbe ahụ, ihe nketa ha ga-abụ nke anapụrụ anyị, tụkwasị nʼihe nketa nke ebo ebe ha lụrụ di. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa anyị ga-abụ nke e wepụrụ ihe site na ya.
4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, 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.”
Mgbe afọ inwere onwe nye Izrel ruru, a ga-agụnye ihe nketa ha nʼebo ebe ha lụrụ dị. A ga-esi otu a wepụ ala ha site nʼihe nketa nke nna nna anyị ha ketara.”
5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the LORD’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere ndị Izrel ntụziaka site nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Ihe ndị ikom ebo Josef na-ekwu ziri ezi.
6 This is the thing which the LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.
Ma nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye maka ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad. Ha nwere ike ịlụ onye ọbụla masịrị ha, ma onye ha ga-alụ ga-abụrịrị onye si nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ha.
7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
O nweghị ihe nketa ọbụla nʼIzrel ga-esi nʼaka otu ebo gafee nʼebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ihe nketa nke ebo ọbụla ga-adịgidere ha dịka otu e siri kee ya nye nna nna ha.
8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers.
Nwa nwanyị Izrel ọbụla ketara ala nʼebo Izrel ọ bụla ga-alụ di site nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ya. Ka ala ha ghara ịgafere ebo ọzọ.
9 So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”
Ọ dịghị ihe nketa ọbụla ga-esi nʼotu ebo feere ebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ebo Izrel ọbụla ga-edebere onwe ha ala ha ketara.”
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:
Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
Ụmụ Zelofehad ndị a: Mahla, na Tịaza, na Hogla, na Milka, na Noa, lụrụ ndị ikom si nʼebo nna ha.
12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Ha lụrụ di nʼagbụrụ ụmụ Manase, nwa Josef. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa ha dịgidere nʼebo na agbụrụ nna ha.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which the LORD commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Ndị a bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka Mosis nye ndị Izrel nʼoge ha nọ nʼobosara ala Moab, nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan, na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
