Numbers 36

1 And the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the children of Israel:

١ وَتَقَدَّمَ رُؤَسَاءُ عَشِيرَةِ جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى مِنْ عَشَائِرِ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى وَقَادَةِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ:

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

٢ «أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ سَيِّدِي أَنْ تُوَزَّعَ الأَرْضُ بِالْقُرْعَةِ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ نَصِيبَ صَلُفْحَادَ أَخِينَا لِبَنَاتِهِ.

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

٣ فَإِذَا تَزَوَّجْنَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سِبْطِنَا فَإِنَّ نَصِيبَهُنَّ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ مِيرَاثِ آبَائِنَا، وَيُضَافُ إِلَى نَصِيبِ السِّبْطِ الَّذِي تَزَوَّجْنَ مِنْهُ، فَيَنْقُصُ مِيرَاثُنَا.

4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

٤ وَمَتَى حَلَّ يُوبِيلُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِنَّ الْمِيرَاثَ يُضَافُ إِلَى نَصِيبِ السِّبْطِ الَّذِي تَزَوَّجْنَ مِنْهُ، وَبِالتَّالِي يُؤْخَذُ نِصِيبُهُنَّ مِنْ مِيرَاثِ سِبْطِنَا».

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right.

٥ فَأَوْصَى مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «بِحَقٍّ نَطَقَ رُؤَسَاءُ سِبْطِ بَنِي يُوسُفَ.

6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

٦ وَهَذَا مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ بِشَأْنِ بَنَاتِ صَلُفْحَادَ: لِيَتَزَوَّجْنَ مَنْ حَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِهِنَّ، بِشَرْطِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ سِبْطِ آبَائِهِنَّ،

7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

٧ فَلا يَتَحَوَّلَ مِيرَاثُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ سِبْطٍ إِلَى آخَرَ، بَلْ يَظَلُّ كُلُّ سِبْطٍ مُحْتَفِظاً بِمِيرَاثِ آبَائِهِ.

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.

٨ فَكُلُّ فَتَاةٍ وَرَثَتْ نَصِيباً مِنْ سِبْطِهَا، تَتَزَوَّجُ وَاحِداً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ عَشِيرَةِ سِبْطِ أَبِيهَا، لِكَيْ يَرِثَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نَصِيبَ آبَائِهِ.

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

٩ فَلا يَنْتَقِلُ مِيرَاثُ سِبْطٍ إِلَى سِبْطٍ آخَرَ، بَلْ يَظَلُّ كُلُّ سِبْطٍ مُحْتَفِظاً بِمِيرَاثِهِ».

10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

١٠ فَفَعَلَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

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

١١ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ كُلٌّ مِنْ مَحْلَةَ وَتِرْصَةَ وَحَجْلَةَ وَمِلْكَةَ وَنُوعَةَ بَنَاتِ صَلُفْحَادَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ عُمُومَتِهِنَّ،

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.

١٢ وَهَكَذَا تَزَوَّجْنَ رِجَالاً مِنْ عَشَائِرِ نَسْلِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ فَبَقِيَ نَصِيبُهُنَّ فِي عَشِيرَةِ أَبِيهِنَّ وَسِبْطِهِ.

13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

١٣ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصَايَا وَالشَّرَائِعُ الَّتِي أَوْصَى بِها الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى، فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ بِجُوَارِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا.
