< Numbers 36 >
1 Then the leaders of the families of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the stock of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke to Moses before the leaders of Israel, and they said:
Epi chèf lakay zansèt a fis a Galaad yo, fis a Makir yo, fis a Manassé a, a zansèt a Joseph yo, te vin toupre pou te pale devan Moïse ak devan chèf yo, chèf lakay zansèt a fis Israël yo.
2 “The Lord has instructed you, our ruler, so that you would divide the land by lot to the sons of Israel, and so that you would give to the daughters of Zelophehad, our brother, the possession owed to their father.
Yo te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande mèt pa mwen an pou bay peyi a pa tiraj osò a fis Israël yo. E mèt mwen an te kòmande pa SENYÈ a pou bay eritaj a Tselophchad la, frè nou an, bay pitit fi li yo.
3 But if men of another tribe receive them as wives, their possession will follow them, and having been transferred to another tribe, there will be a reduction in our inheritance.
Men si yo marye avèk youn nan fis nan lòt tribi fis Israël yo, eritaj yo va retire nan eritaj zansèt nou yo, e li va vin ajoute a eritaj a tribi sou sila yo vin manm nan. Konsa, l ap retire nan eritaj ki te tonbe nan dwa nou an.
4 And so it may be that, when the Jubilee of remission, that is, the fiftieth year, has arrived, the distribution by lots shall be confounded, and the possession of the one shall be transferred to others.”
Lè jibile a rive, alò, eritaj pa yo a va ajoute a eritaj tribi kote yo manm nan. Konsa, eritaj pa yo a va retire nan eritaj tribi a zansèt nou yo.”
5 Moses answered the sons of Israel, and, at the instruction of the Lord, he said: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.
Alò, Moïse te kòmande fis a Israël yo pa pawòl a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Sa ke tribi a fis Joseph yo di a se sa.
6 And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,
Se sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande konsènan fi a Tselophchad yo e te di: ‘Kite yo marye ak nenpòt moun ke yo vle; men fòk yo marye nan pwòp fanmi a tribi zansèt papa pa yo.
7 lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;
Konsa, nanpwen eritaj nan fis Israël yo ki va transfere de tribi a tribi, paske fis Israël yo va chak kenbe eritaj a tribi zansèt yo.
8 and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,
Chak fi ki vin posede yon eritaj nan yon tribi a fis Israël yo va madanm a yon moun ki nan fanmi tribi zansèt papa li a, pou chak fis Israël yo kapab posede eritaj a zansèt pa yo.
9 and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.”
Konsa nanpwen eritaj k ap transfere de yon tribi rive nan yon lòt tribi. Paske, tribi a fis Israël yo va chak kenbe nan pwòp eritaj pa yo.’”
10 And the daughters of Zelophehad acted according to what was ordered.
Jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, se konsa fi a Tselophchad yo te fè:
11 And Mahlah, and Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noa were wed to the sons of their paternal uncle,
Machla, Thirtsa, Hogla, Milca, ak Noa, fi a Tselophchad yo, yo te marye avèk fis a tonton yo.
12 from the family of Manasseh, who was a son of Joseph. And the possession which had been distributed to them remained in the tribe and family of their father.
Yo te marye sa yo soti nan fanmi a fis a Manassé yo, fis a Joseph la, e eritaj yo te rete avèk tribi a fanmi zansèt papa yo.
13 These are the commandments and judgments which the Lord ordered by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
Sa yo se kòmandman ak règleman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a fis Israël yo pa Moïse nan plèn Moab yo akote Jourdain an, anfas Jéricho.
