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,
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 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.
Wakasema, “Bwana alipomwamuru bwana wangu kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi kwa kura, alikuamuru kutoa urithi wa ndugu yetu Selofehadi kwa binti zake.
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been [given] to one from the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance has been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and it is withdrawn from the lot of our inheritance,
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 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Israel, then their inheritance has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and their inheritance is withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
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 And Moses commands the sons of Israel by the command of YHWH, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is speaking correctly;
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 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;
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.”
Hakuna urithi uwezao kuhamishwa kutoka kabila moja kwenda kabila jingine, kwa kuwa kila kabila la Israeli litatunza nchi linayorithi.”
10 As YHWH has commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad have done,
Kwa hiyo binti za Selofehadi wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are for wives to the sons of their fathers’ brothers;
Binti za Selofehadi, ambao ni Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka na Noa, wakaolewa na waume, wana wa ndugu za baba yao.
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.
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 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.
Haya ndiyo maagizo na masharti ambayo Bwana aliwapa Waisraeli kupitia Mose katika tambarare za Moabu, karibu na Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.
