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.
Niharine mb’eo o mpiaolon’ anjomban-droaem-pifokoan-tarira’ i Gilade ana’ i Makire, ana’ i Menasè, hasavereña’ o ana’ Iosefeoo vaho nilañoñe añatrefa’ i Mosè naho o talèo naho o talèn’ anjomban-droae’ o ana’ Israeleoo,
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.
nanao ty hoe: Linili’ Iehovà i talèkoy ty hanolotse i tane lovaeñey an-tsapake; vaho linili’ Iehovà i talèkoy ty hanolotse i lovan-drahalahi’ay Tselofekhàdey amo anak’ ampela’eo.
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.
Aa naho ivalia’ ty anam-pifokoa ila’e amo ana’ Israeleo, le ho rambeseñe ami’ty lovan-droae’ay ty lova’ iareo vaho ho tovoñañe ami’ty lova’ i fifokoañe nivalie’ey; aa le ho liniva amy lova niazo’ay an-tsapakey.
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].”
Le ie avy i Jobili’ o ana’ Israeleio, ho tovoñañe ami’ ty lova’ i fifokoañe nañeng’ azey i lova’ey; le ho livaeñe ami’ ty lovam-pifokoan-droae’ay i lova’ey.
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.
Le hoe ty linili’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, To ty saontsi’ o tariram-pifokoa’ Iosefeo.
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.’
Aa hoe ty linili’ Iehovà omba o anak’ ampela’ i Tselofekhàdeo: angao hifanambaly amy ze tea’e fe tsy mete tsy amo tariram-pifokoan-droae’eo avao ty anambalia’ iareo.
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.
Aa le tsy hafindra am-pifokoañe raike ho ami’ty fifokoañe ila’e o lovao; fa songa hitañe ty lovam-pifokoan-droae’e o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Le hanambaly ami’ty fifokoan-droae’e ze anak’ ampela mitan-dova ami’ty fifokoañe raik’ amo ana’ Israeleo, soa te songa hitan-dovan-droae’e o ana’ Israeleo.
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.”
Aa le tsy hafindra ho ami’ty fifokoañe ila’e ty lova fa sambe mitan-ty lova’e o fifokoan’ ana’ Israeleo.
10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.
Nanoe’ o anak’ampela’ i Tselofekadeo ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
Le nifanambaly ami’ty anan-drahalahin-drae’e t’i Maklà, i Tirtsà, naho i Koglà vaho i Noà ana’ i Tselofekade.
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.
Nifanambaly amo tarira’ o nte-Menasè ana’ Iosefeo iereo vaho mireketse am-pifokoan-droae’e ao ty lova’ iareo.
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.
Irezay ro lily naho fepetse linili’ Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleo am-pità’ i Mosè a montom-bei’ i Moabe añ’ olo’ Iordaney tandrife Ierikò eo.
