Numbers 36

1 The heads of the ancestral houses of the family of the people of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders, the heads of the ancestral houses of the children of Israel.

Na ka whakatata nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o nga hapu o nga tama a Kireara tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi, no nga hapu o nga tama a Hohepa, ka korero ki te aroaro o Mohi, ki te aroaro ano o nga rangatira, o nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira:

2 And they said, "YHWH commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

Ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa i toku ariki kia hoatu te whenua hei kainga tupu mo nga tama a Iharaira, he mea rota: i whakahaua ano toku ariki e Ihowa kia hoatu te wahi o Teropehara, o to matou teina ki ana tamahine.

3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

Na ki te marenatia ratou ki etahi atu o nga tama o era iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, na ka titorehia to ratou wahi i te wahi o o matou matua, a ka tapiritia ki te wahi o te iwi e riro atu ai ratou, a ka titorehia i te wahi i meatia hei kainga tupu m o matou.

4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."

A, i te takanga hoki o te tiupiri a nga tama a Iharaira, na ka tapiritia atu to ratou wahi ki te wahi o te iwi e riro atu ai ratou, a ka titorehia to ratou kainga i te kainga o te iwi o o matou matua.

5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of YHWH, saying, "The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.

Na ka whakahau a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, he mea ki mai na Ihowa, a ka mea, He tika nga kupu a te iwi o nga tama a Hohepa.

6 This is the thing which YHWH does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.

Ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakahau ai mo nga tamahine a Teropehara; e mea ana, Me marena ratou ki a ratou e pai ai; otiia me marena ki te hapu o te iwi o to ratou papa.

7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

A e kore e riro ke te kainga tupu o tetahi iwi i tetahi iwi atu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: ka whai hoki nga tama a Iharaira, tera, tera, ki te kainga o te iwi o o ratou matua.

8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.

Me marena ano nga tamahine katoa, i a ratou nei tetahi kainga o tetahi o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ki tetahi o te hapu o te iwi o o ratou papa; kia mau ai te kainga tupu o ona matua i tenei, i tenei, o nga tama a Iharaira.

9 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance."

Kei riro ke hoki te kainga tupu o tetahi iwi i tetahi atu iwi; engari me whai nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki o ratou kainga ake.

10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as YHWH commanded Moses:

Rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi, i pera ta nga tamahine a Teropehara:

11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.

Ka riro hoki a Mahara, a Tirita, a Hokora, a Mirika, a Noa, nga tamahine a Teropehara, hei wahine ma nga tama a nga teina o to ratou papa.

12 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.

I marenatia hoki ki nga hapu o nga tama a Manahi, tama a Hohepa, a i mau to ratou kainga tupu ki te iwi o te hapu o to ratou papa.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which YHWH commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Ko nga whakahau enei me nga whakaritenga a Ihowa i whakahaua e Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira i nga mania o Moapa i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko.
