Numbers 36
1 And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:
Awo abakulembeze b’ennyumba z’empya ez’omu lunyiriri lwa Gireyaadi, mutabani wa Makiri, mutabani wa Manase, nga bava mu kika kya Yusufu, ne bajja ne boogera ne Musa n’abakulembeze n’abazadde b’abaana ba Isirayiri.
2 and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.
Ne bagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yalagira mukama waffe, abaana ba Isirayiri obagabanyizeemu ettaka ery’obusika bwabwe ng’okuba akalulu, era n’akulagira ebyobusika ebya muganda waffe Zerofekadi abigabire abaana be abawala.
3 And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our inheritance.
Kale, nno, bwe balifumbirwa abalenzi abazaalibwa mu bika ebirala eby’abaana ba Isirayiri, ebyobusika byabwe bigenda kuggyibwa ku by’obusika obwa bajjajjaffe bigattibwe ku by’obusika obw’ebika abawala abo gye banaabanga bafumbiddwa. Kale olwo ebyobusika bye twagabana birituggyibwako.
4 And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance, shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.
Awo Omwaka gwa Jjubiri ogw’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe gunaatuukanga, ebyobusika byabwe bigenda kugattibwanga ku bw’ebika abawala abo gye banaabanga bafumbiddwa, n’eby’obutaka bwabwe nga bitoolebwa ku butaka obwa bajjajjaffe obw’ensikirano.”
5 And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.
Awo Musa n’addamu abantu ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali n’alagira abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Abava mu batabani ab’omu kika kya Yusufu kye bagamba kituufu.
6 This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry [men] of their father's tribe.
Kino kye kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda ku nsonga z’abawala ba Zerofekadi: Mubaleke bafumbirwenga omusajja gwe baneesiimiranga, naye omusajja oyo gwe banaafumbirwanga anaavanga mu kika kya kitaabwe.
7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.
Mu by’obusika bw’abaana ba Isirayiri, tewaabengawo butaka obw’obusika obunaggibwanga mu kika ekimu ne butwalibwa mu kika ekirala, kubanga buli omu mu baana ba Isirayiri anaakuumanga butiribiri obutaka obw’omu kika kye bw’anaabanga asikidde okuva ku bajjajjaabe.
8 And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children Israel, [such] women shall be married each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father's tribe.
Era buli mwana owoobuwala anaasikiranga obutaka mu kika kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, anaateekwanga okufumbirwa omusajja ow’omu kika kya kitaawe w’omuwala oyo; bwe kityo buli mwana wa Isirayiri anaabeeranga n’obutaka obw’obusika bwa bakitaawe.
9 And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.
Noolwekyo tewaabengawo butaka obw’obusika obuggyibwa mu kika ekimu ne butwalibwa mu kika ekirala; kubanga buli kika eky’abaana ba Isirayiri kinaakuumanga butiribiri obutaka bw’obusika obw’ekika ekyo.”
10 As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.
Bwe batyo bawala ba Zerofekadi ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
11 So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;
Bawala ba Zerofekadi bano: Maala, ne Tiruza, ne Kogula, ne Mirika, ne Noowa, baafumbirwa batabani ba baganda ba bakitaabwe.
12 they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father's family.
Baafumbirwa mu mpya za batabani ba Manase mutabani wa Yusufu, ebyobusika byabwe ne bisigala mu kika kya kitaabwe.
13 These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
Ago ge mateeka n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda bye yalagira Musa n’abituusa eri abaana ba Isirayiri nga bali mu nsenyi za Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani okwolekera Yeriko.
