< Numbers 36 >
1 And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near and speak before Moses and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,
Overhovederne for Fædrenehsene i Gileaditernes Slægt Gilead var en Søn af Manasses Søn Makir af Josefs Sønners Slægter trådte frem og talte for Moses og Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israelitternes Fædrenehuse,
2 and say, “YHWH commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord has been commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.
og sagde: "HERREN har pålagt min Herre at udskifte Landet mellem Israelitterne ved Lodkastning, og min Herre har i HERRENs Navn påbudt at give vor Frænde Zelofhads Arvelod til hans Døtre.
3 Now [if] they have been [given] to one from the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance has been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and it is withdrawn from the lot of our inheritance,
Men hvis de nu indgår Ægteskab med Mænd, der hører til en anden af Israels Stammer, så unddrages deres Arvelod jo vore Fædres Arvelod, og således øges den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, medens den Arvelod, der er tilfaldet os ved Lodkastning, formindskes;
4 and if it is the Jubilee of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and their inheritance is withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
og når Israelitterne får Jubelår, lægges deres Arvelod til den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, og således unddrages deres Arvelod vor fædrene Stammes Arvelod."
5 And Moses commands the sons of Israel by the command of YHWH, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is speaking correctly;
Da udstedte Moses efter HERRENs Ord følgende Bud til Israelitterne: "Josefs Sønners Stamme har talt ret!
6 this [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, let them be for wives to a family of the tribe of their fathers;
Således er HERRENs Bud angående Zelofhads Døtre: De må indgå Ægteskab med hvem de ønsker, men det må kun være Mænd af deres Faders Stammes Slægt, de indgår Ægteskab med.
7 and the inheritance of the sons of Israel does not turn around from tribe to tribe; for each of the sons of Israel cleaves to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Thi ingen Arvelod, der tilhører Israel, må gå over fra en Stamme til en anden, men Israelitterne skal holde fast hver ved sin fædrene Stammes Arvelod.
8 And every daughter possessing an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel is for a wife to one from the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each possess the inheritance of his fathers,
Enhver Datter, som får en Arvelod i en af Israelitternes Stammer, skal indgå Ægteskab med en Mand af sin fædrene Stammes Slægt, for at Israelitterne kan beholde hver sine Fædres Arvelod som Ejendom;
9 and the inheritance does not turn around from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the sons of Israel cleaves to his inheritance.”
og ingen Arvelod må gå over fra den ene Stamme til den anden, men Israelitternes Stammer skal holde fast hver ved sin Arvelod!"
10 As YHWH has commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad have done,
Zelofhads Døtre gjorde da, som HERREN pålagde Moses,
11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are for wives to the sons of their fathers’ brothers;
idet Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka og Noa, Zelofhads Døtre, indgik Ægteskab med deres Farbrødres Sønner;
12 they have been for wives [to men] from the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.
de indgik Ægteskab med Mænd, som hørte til Josefs Søn Manasses Sønners Slægter, så at deres Arvelod vedblev at tilhøre deres fædrene Slægts Stamme.
13 These [are] the commands and the judgments which YHWH has commanded by the hand of Moses concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.
Det er de Bud og Lovbud, HERREN gav Israelitterne ved Moses på Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.
