< 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:
Afei, Gilead abusua no ntuanofoɔ, Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima ne Yosef nana asefoɔ kɔɔ Mose ne Israel ntuanofoɔ nkyɛn de adesrɛdeɛ kɔtoo wɔn anim.
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.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ bɔ ntonto kronkron na gyina so kyekyɛ asase no ma Israelfoɔ. Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ fa yɛn nuabarima Selofehad agyapadeɛ ma ne mmammaa.
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.
Na sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔn mu bi kɔware wɔ abusua foforɔ mu a, ɔde asase a wɔde ama no no bɛkɔ awadeɛ. Sɛ ɛba saa a, yɛn abusua no asase kɛseɛ so bɛte.
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.
Sɛ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no duru so a, saa agyapadeɛ no bɛka hɔ ara. Na ɛbɛfiri abusuakuo a anka ɛwɔ no no nsam koraa.”
5 And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.
Enti Mose de saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɛfiri Awurade yi maa Israelfoɔ no: “Yosef abusuakuo mu nnipa no asɛm no yɛ nokorɛ.
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.
Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɛfa Selofehad mmammaa no ho no nie: wɔtumi ware ɔbarima biara a wɔpɛ a ɔfiri wɔn agya abusuakuo mu.
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.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ biara firi abusuakuo bi nsam kɔ abusuakuo foforɔ nsam, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ abusuakuo biara agyapadeɛ tena hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ firi kane no.
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.
Mmammaa a wɔwɔ Israel mmusuakuo mu nyinaa a agyapadeɛ tumi kɔ wɔn nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwareware wɔ wɔn mmusuakuo mu na wɔn agyapadeɛ amfiri wɔn abusuakuo mu.
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.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ biara firi abusuakuo bi nsam kɔdi ɔfoforɔ nsam, ɛsɛ sɛ Israel abusuakuo biara bɔ nʼagyapadeɛ ho ban.”
10 As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.
Selofehad mmammaa no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
11 So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;
Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka ne Noa nyinaa warewaree wɔn agyanom nuammarima mma.
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.
Wɔwarewaree wɔ Yosef babarima Manase mmusua mu enti wɔn agyapadeɛ no kaa wɔn abusuakuo mu.
13 These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
Yei ne mmara ne nhyehyɛeɛ a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfoɔ ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Moab tata so so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛne Yeriko di nhwɛanimu no ho.
