< Numbers 36 >

1 The family leaders of the clan of Gilead of the tribe of Manasseh went to Moses/me and the other family leaders of the Israeli people.
ヨセフの子等の族の中マナセの子マキルの子なるギレアデの子等の族の族長等進みよりてモーセの前とイスラエルの子孫の族長たる牧伯等の前に語り
2 They said to Moses/me, “Yahweh commanded you, our leader, to apportion the land to the Israeli tribes by throwing (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide [which group would get which area]. Yahweh also commanded you to give the land that belonged to our fellow Israeli Zelophehad to his daughters.
言けるはイスラエルの子孫にその產業の地を鬮によりて與ふることをヱホバわが主に命じたまへり吾主またわれらの兄弟ゼロペハデの產業をその女子等に與ふべしとヱホバに命ぜられたまふ
3 But if his daughters marry men from the other Israeli tribes, that land will no longer belong to our tribe. People of other tribes will get it. So some of our land will no longer belong to us.
彼らもしイスラエルの子孫の中他の支派の人々に嫁ぎなば彼らの產業はわれらの父祖の產業の中より除去れてその適る支派の產業に加はるべし斯是は我らの產業の分の中より除去れん
4 When the Year of Celebration comes, [when all the land that has been bought by someone is returned to its original owners], the land that belonged to Zelophehad will belong to the tribes of the men that his daughters marry. So some of our land, the land that we received from our fathers, will be taken from us, [and we will never own it again].”
而して彼らの產業はイスラエルの子孫のヨベルに至りてその適る支派の產業に加はるべし斯かれらの產業は我らの父祖の支派の產業の中より除去れん
5 Yahweh told Moses/me what to reply to them, so Moses/I said this to them: “These men from the tribe of Manasseh are right.
モーセ、ヱホバの言にしたがひてイスラエルの子孫に命じて言ふヨセフの子等の支派の言ところは善し
6 This is what Yahweh is saying to the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Each of you may marry anyone you want to, but you must marry only someone from your own tribe.’
ゼロペハデの女子等の事につきてヱホバの命じたまふところは是のごとし云く彼らはその心に適ふ者に嫁ぐべけれど惟その父祖の支派の家にのみ嫁ぐべし
7 In that way, the land that belongs to Israelis will not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ancestors.
然せばイスラエルの子孫の產業この支派よりかの支派に移ることあらじイスラエルの子孫はみな各箇その父祖の支派の產業に止まるべきなり
8 A woman who inherits her father’s land may get married, but she must marry someone from her own tribe. In that way, every Israeli will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.
イスラエルの子孫の支派の中凡そ產業を有る女は皆おのれの父の支派の家に嫁ぐべし然せばイスラエルの子孫おのおのその父祖の產業を保つことを得ん
9 The land must not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli tribe must keep the land that it received from its ancestors.”
產業をしてこの支派よりかの支派に移らしむべからずイスラエルの子孫の支派の者は皆おのおの自己の產業にとどまるべし
10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.
是においてゼロペハデの女子等はヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如くせり
11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
即ちゼロペハデの女子等マアラ、テルザ、ホグラ、ミルカおよびノアはその父の兄弟の子等に嫁げり
12 The men whom they married were from the tribe of Manasseh, so their land continued to belong to their father’s family and tribe.
彼らはヨセフの子マナセの子等の家に嫁ぎたればその產業はその父の族の支派に止まれり
13 Those were the commands [DOU] that Yahweh gave to Moses/me to tell to the Israelis, while they/we were on the plains of the Moab region, close to the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
是等はヱリコに對するヨルダンの邊なるモアテの平野においてヱホバがモーセによりてイスラエルの子孫に命じたまひし命令と律法なり
