Numbers 36
1 And the chief fathers 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 near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
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 they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto 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 And 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 put to the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
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 when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance 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 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
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 thing which the LORD does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
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 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
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, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Et toutes les femmes prendront des maris de la même tribu, afin que l’héritage demeure constamment dans les familles,
9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Et que les tribus ne se mêlent point entre elles, mais qu’elles demeurent ainsi
10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
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, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
Et Maala, Thersa, Hégla, Melcha et Noa épousèrent les fils de leur oncle paternel,
12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
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 commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near 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.
