< Numbers 36 >

1 And they drew near [the] leaders of the fathers of [the] clan of [the] descendants of Gilead [the] son of Makir [the] son of Manasseh from [the] clans of [the] descendants of Joseph and they spoke before Moses and before the leaders heads of fathers of [the] people of Israel.
那時若瑟後裔的家族中,有默納協的子孫,瑪基爾的兒子基肋阿得子孫的家族首領,來到梅瑟和叵子民各家族的首領前說:
2 And they said lord my he commanded Yahweh to give the land an inheritance by lot to [the] people of Israel and lord my he was commanded by Yahweh to give [the] inheritance of Zelophehad brother our to daughters his.
「上主吩咐我主,以抽籤來分給以色列子民土地為產業,我主又領了木的保,將我們兄弟責羅斐哈得的產業,分給他的女兒們。
3 And they will belong to one of [the] sons of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel to wives and it will be withdrawn inheritance their from [the] inheritance of ancestors our and it will be added to [the] inheritance of the tribe which they will belong to them and from [the] lot of inheritance our it will be withdrawn.
現在,如果她們嫁給了以色列子民另一支派的人,她們的產業就脫離了我們祖先的產業,而加在所嫁給的那一支派的產業上:這樣,我們抽籤分得的產業就減少了。
4 And if it will come the jubilee of [the] people of Israel and it will be added inheritance their to [the] inheritance of the tribe which they will belong to them and from [the] inheritance of [the] tribe of ancestors our it will be withdrawn inheritance their.
甚至一到以色列子民的喜年,她們的產業仍舊加在所嫁的那一支派的產業內,我們祖先支派的產業就減少了她們那一份」。
5 And he commanded Moses [the] people of Israel on [the] mouth of Yahweh saying right [the] tribe of [the] descendants of Joseph [is] speaking.
梅瑟依上主的指示訓令以色列子民說:「若瑟子孫支派說的有理。
6 This [is] the word which he has commanded Yahweh of [the] daughters of Zelophehad saying to the good in view their they will belong to wives only to [the] clan of [the] tribe of ancestor their they will belong to wives.
上主對於責羅斐哈得的女兒們這樣這樣吩咐說:她們可任意嫁給自己所喜愛的人,但只應嫁給屬於自己祖先支派的人。
7 And not it will go about an inheritance of [the] people of Israel from tribe to tribe for everyone on [the] inheritance of [the] tribe of ancestors his they will hold [the] people of Israel.
以色列子民的產業不可由一支派轉移至另一支派,因為以色列子民每人應固守自己祖先支派的產業。
8 And every daughter [who] possesses an inheritance from [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel to one of [the] clan of [the] tribe of father her she will belong to a wife so that they may possess [the] people of Israel everyone [the] inheritance of ancestors his.
以色列子民支派中,凡繼承產業的子女,應嫁給她祖先支派的人為妻,好使每個以色列子民能固守祖先的產業。
9 And not it will go about an inheritance from tribe to tribe another for everyone on own inheritance its they will hold [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.
這樣產業就不會由一支派轉移至另一支派,因為以色列子民各支派應固守自己的產業」。
10 Just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses so they did [the] daughters of Zelophehad.
上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟,責羅斐哈得的女兒們就怎樣做了。
11 And they belonged Mahlah Tirzah and Hoglah and Milcah and Noah [the] daughters of Zelophehad to [the] sons of uncles their to wives.
責羅斐哈得的女兒:瑪赫拉、提爾匝、曷米革拉、米耳加和諾阿,嫁給了自己叔伯的兒子們,
12 From [the] clans of [the] descendants of Manasseh [the] son of Joseph they became wives and it was inheritance their with [the] tribe of [the] clan of father their.
即嫁給了若瑟的兒子默納協子孫家族的人:如此她們的產業仍留在她們祖先家族的支派內。
13 These [are] the commandments and the judgments which he commanded Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses to [the] people of Israel in [the] plains of Moab at [the] Jordan of Jericho.
這是上主在耶利哥對面,約旦河邊,摩阿布曠野內,藉梅瑟向以色列子民所頒佈的誡命和規則。
