Numbers 36
1 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,
Or, les princes des familles de Galaad, fils de Machir, fils de Manassé, de la race des fils de Joseph, s’approchèrent, parlèrent à Moïse devant les princes d’Israël et dirent:
2 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.
C’est à toi qui es notre seigneur, que le Seigneur a ordonné de partager par le sort la terre aux enfants d’Israël, et de donner aux filles de Salphaad, notre frère, la possession due à leur père.
3 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.
Si des hommes d’une autre tribu les prennent pour femmes, leur possession les suivra, et transférée à une autre tribu, elle sera retranchée de notre héritage:
4 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.
Et ainsi il arrivera que, lorsque le jubilé, c’est-à-dire la cinquantième année de la rémission, sera venu, la distribution des sorts sera confondue, et que la possession des uns passera aux autres.
5 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.
Moïse répondit aux enfants d’Israël, et, le Seigneur ordonnant, il dit: C’est sagement que la tribu des enfants de Joseph a parié:
6 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.
Et voici la loi sur les filles de Salphaad, promulguée par le Seigneur: Qu’elles épousent ceux qu’elles voudront, mais seulement des hommes de leur tribu;
7 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.
Afin que la possession des enfants d’Israël ne se mêle point d’une tribu en une autre. Car tous les hommes prendront des femmes de leur tribu et de leur parenté,
8 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.
Et toutes les femmes prendront des maris de la même tribu, afin que l’héritage demeure constamment dans les familles,
9 And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.
Et que les tribus ne se mêlent point entre elles, mais qu’elles demeurent ainsi
10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord gave orders to Moses:
Qu’elles ont été séparées par le Seigneur. Or, les filles de Salphaad firent comme il leur avait été commandé:
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:
Et Maala, Thersa, Hégla, Melcha et Noa épousèrent les fils de leur oncle paternel,
12 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
De la famille de Manassé, qui fut fils de Joseph; et la possession qui leur avait été assignée, demeura dans la tribu et la famille de leur père.
13 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.
Tels sont les commandements et les ordonnances que commanda le Seigneur par l’entremise de Moïse aux enfants d’Israël, dans les plaines de Moab, sur le Jourdain, contre Jéricho.
