Numbers 36

1 And there came near the chiefs of the divisions of the family of the children of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph; and they spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chiefs of the divisions of the children of Israel;

Tada pristupe obiteljski glavari od roda sinova Gileada, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova, jednoga roda Josipovih sinova, te pred Mojsijem i starješinama, glavarima obitelji,

2 And they said, the Lord hath commanded my Lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my Lord hath been commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

reknu: “Jahve je naredio našemu gospodaru da kockom dade ovu zemlju u baštinu Izraelcima; nadalje, našem je gospodaru naredio Jahve da baštinu našega brata Selofhada dade njegovim kćerima.

3 And if they become the wives of any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel: then will their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereamong they may be married; and from the lot of our inheritance will it be taken away.

Ali ako se one udaju za koga iz drugog izraelskoga plemena, onda će njihova baština biti otrgnuta od naše djedovske baštine i biti priključena baštini plemena kojemu one pripadnu. Tako će se okrnjiti baština koja kockom pripadne nama.

4 And whenever the jubilee shall be to the children of Israel: then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereamong they may be married; and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers will their inheritance be taken away.

A kada nastupi jubilej Izraelcima, baština će se tih žena dodati baštini plemena kojemu pripadnu. Tako će njihova baština biti oduzeta od baštine našega pradjedovskog plemena.”

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel by the order of the Lord, saying, the tribe of the sons of Joseph have spoken well.

I po zapovijedi Jahvinoj Mojsije naredi Izraelcima: “Pleme Josipovih sinova pravo govori.

6 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those who are pleasing in their eyes may they become wives; however only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they become wives.

Ovo naređuje Jahve za Selofhadove kćeri: Neka se one udaju za onoga koji im se učini dobar, samo neka se udaju u rod svoga očinskoga plemena.

7 And the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not pass from tribe to tribe; but the children of Israel shall adhere every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Baština Izraelaca ne smije se prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo; i svaki Izraelac mora ostati privezan uz pradjedovsku baštinu svoga plemena.

8 And every daughter that inheriteth any possession out of any tribe of the children of Israel, shall become the wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father; in order that the children of Israel may inherit every one the inheritance of his fathers.

Zato se svaka djevojka koja steče baštinu u izraelskim plemenima mora udati za nekoga u plemenu kojemu pripada rod joj očev, tako da bi svaki Izraelac sačuvao baštinu svoga oca.

9 And no inheritance shall pass from one tribe to another tribe; but the tribes of the children of Israel shall adhere, every one, to his own inheritance.

Tako se baština neće prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo, nego će svako izraelsko pleme prianjati uza svoju baštinu.”

10 Even as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;

Kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio, tako su i učinile kćeri Selofhadove:

11 And Machlah, Tirzah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and No'ah, the daughters of Zelophehad became the wives of the sons of their uncles.

Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka i Noa, kćeri Selofhadove, udaše se za sinove svojih stričeva.

12 [To persons] of the families of the sons of Menasseh the son of Joseph did they become wives, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

Kako su se udale u rod potomstva Manašea, Josipova sina, njihova je baština ostala u plemenu kojemu pripadaše rod im očev.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel, in the plain of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

To su zapovijedi i zakoni koje je Jahve preko Mojsija izdao Izraelcima na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu.
