Numbers 36
1 And the chief fathers of families 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 princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
Overhodene for familiene i den ætt som nedstammet fra Gilead, en sønn av Manasses sønn Makir, og hørte til Josefs barns ætter, gikk frem for Moses og for de høvdinger som var overhoder for Israels barns familier,
2 and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
og de sa: Herren har befalt min herre å gi Israels barn landet til arv ved loddkasting, og min herre har fått befaling av Herren om å gi vår bror Selofhads arv til hans døtre.
3 Now if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
Men blir nu de gift med menn av Israels barns andre stammer, så går deres arv fra våre fedres arv og legges til den stammes arv som de kommer til å tilhøre, og således blir vår arvelodd mindre.
4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Og når jubelåret kommer for Israels barn, så blir deres arv lagt til den stammes arv som de kommer til å tilhøre, og deres arv går fra vår fedrenestammes arv.
5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
Da bød Moses Israels barn efter Herrens ord og sa: Josefs barns stamme har rett i det de sier.
6 This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father,
Således byder Herren om Selofhads døtre: De kan gifte sig med hvem de vil, bare de gifter sig innen sin fedrenestammes ætt,
7 that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
forat ikke nogen arv hos Israels barn skal gå over fra en stamme til en annen - Israels barn skal holde fast hver ved sin fedrenestammes arv.
8 And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers,
Og enhver datter i Israels barns stammer som får arv, skal gifte sig med en mann av sin fedrenestammes ætt, forat Israels barn kan arve hver sine fedres arv,
9 and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance.
og forat ingen arv skal gå over fra en stamme til en annen, men Israels barns stammer holde fast hver ved sin arv.
10 Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;
Selofhads døtre gjorde således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.
11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons.
Mahla, Tirsa og Hogla og Milka og Noa, Selofhads døtre, blev gift med sine farbrødres sønner;
12 To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
de blev gift med menn av Manasses, Josefs sønns ætter, så deres arv blev hos deres fedreneætts stamme.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
Dette er de bud og lover som Herren gav Israels barn ved Moses på Moabs ødemarker ved Jordan, midt imot Jeriko.
