Numbers 36

1 Then the chiefe fathers of the familie of the sonnes of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the families of the sones of Ioseph, came, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel,

Viongozi wa jamaa ya ukoo wa Gileadi mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase, waliokuwa wametoka katika koo za wazao wa Yosefu, walikuja na kuzungumza mbele ya Mose na viongozi, wakuu wa jamaa ya Waisraeli.

2 And saide, The Lord commanded my lord to giue the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord, to giue the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother vnto his daughters.

Wakasema, “Bwana alipomwamuru bwana wangu kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi kwa kura, alikuamuru kutoa urithi wa ndugu yetu Selofehadi kwa binti zake.

3 If they bee married to any of the sonnes of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shalbe put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shalbe: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

Sasa ikiwa wataolewa na watu wa makabila mengine ya Kiisraeli, itakuwa kwamba urithi wao utaondolewa kutoka urithi wa mababu zetu na kuongezwa katika urithi wa kabila ambalo dada hao wameolewa. Kwa hiyo sehemu ya urithi tuliyogawiwa itachukuliwa kutoka kwetu.

4 Also when the Iubile of the children of Israel commeth, then shall their inheritance be put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shall be: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

Wakati mwaka wa Yubile kwa Waisraeli utafika, urithi wao utaongezwa kwa lile kabila ambalo wameolewa, na mali yao itaondolewa kutoka urithi wa kabila la mababu zetu.”

5 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sonnes of Ioseph haue said well.

Ndipo kwa agizo la Bwana Mose akatoa amri ifuatayo kwa Waisraeli: “Kile wazao wa kabila la Yosefu wanachosema ni kweli.

6 This is the thing that the Lord hath commanded, concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, They shall be wiues, to whome they thinke best, onely to the familie of the tribe of their father shall they marry:

Hivi ndivyo Bwana anavyoamuru kwa binti za Selofehadi: Wanaweza kuolewa na mtu yeyote wampendaye, mradi tu waolewe miongoni mwa koo za kabila za baba yao.

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remoue from tribe to tribe, for euery one of the children of Israel shall ioyne himselfe to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Hakuna urithi katika Israeli utakaohamishwa kutoka kabila moja kwenda kabila jingine, kwa kuwa kila Mwisraeli atatunza ardhi ya kabila lake aliyoirithi kutoka kwa baba zake.

8 And euery daughter that possesseth any inheritance of the tribes of the children of Israel, shalbe wife vnto one of the familie of the tribe of her father: that the children of Israel may enioye euery man the inheritance of their fathers.

Kila binti atakayerithi ardhi katika kabila lolote la Israeli ni lazima aolewe na mtu kutoka kabila na ukoo wa baba yake, ili kila Mwisraeli amiliki urithi wa baba zake.

9 Neither shall the inheritance go about from tribe to tribe: but euery one of the tribes of the childre of Israel shall sticke to his own inheritace.

Hakuna urithi uwezao kuhamishwa kutoka kabila moja kwenda kabila jingine, kwa kuwa kila kabila la Israeli litatunza nchi linayorithi.”

10 As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.

Kwa hiyo binti za Selofehadi wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.

11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah the daughters of Zelophehad were married vnto their fathers brothers sonnes,

Binti za Selofehadi, ambao ni Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka na Noa, wakaolewa na waume, wana wa ndugu za baba yao.

12 They were wiues to certaine of the families of the sonnes of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph: so their inheritance remained in the tribe of the familie of their father.

Waliolewa ndani ya koo za wazao wa Manase mwana wa Yosefu, na urithi wao ukabaki katika ukoo na kabila la baba yao.

13 These are the commandements and lawes which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, vnto the children of Israel in the plaine of Moab, by Iorden toward Iericho.

Haya ndiyo maagizo na masharti ambayo Bwana aliwapa Waisraeli kupitia Mose katika tambarare za Moabu, karibu na Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.
