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.
Abbootiin maatii ilmaan Giliʼaad ilma Maakiir, ilma Minaasee kanneen maatiiwwan ilmaan Yoosef keessaa dhufan sun fuula Museetii fi fuula hooggantoota abbootii maatiiwwan saba Israaʼel duratti dhiʼaatanii dubbatan;
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.
akkanas jedhan; “Akka ati biyyattii dhaala gootee ixaadhaan saba Israaʼeliif kennituuf Waaqayyo Gooftaa koo ajajeera; akkasumas akka ati dhaala obboleessi keenya Zelofehaad intallan isaatiif kennitu inni si ajajeera.
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.
Garuu yoo isaan ilmaan gosoota saba Israaʼel kaanitti heeruman dhaalli isaanii dhaala abbootii keenyaa keessaa fuudhamee dhaala gosa isaan itti heerumaniitti dabalama. Yoos dhaala ixaadhaan nuu qoodame irraa gariin isaa ni fuudhama.
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].”
Yommuu Waggaan Iyyoobeeliyyuu kan saba Israaʼel dhufutti dhaalli isaanii sun dhaala gosa isaan itti heerumaniitti dabalama; dhaalli isaaniis dhaala gosa abbootii keenyaa irraa fudhatama.”
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.
Kana irratti Museen akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana akkana jedhee saba Israaʼel ajaje: “Wanni gosti ilmaan Yoosef jedhu sirrii dha.
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.’
Wanni Waaqayyo waaʼee intallan Zelofehaad ajaje kanaa dha: Isaan gosa abbaa isaanii qofa keessaa haa taʼu malee nama jaallatanitti haa heeruman.
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.
Sababii tokkoon tokkoon ilmaan Israaʼel dhaala gosa abbaa isaa irraa argatu jabeessee qabatuuf, dhaalli ilmaan Israaʼel gosa tokko irraa gosa kaanitti hin darbin.
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.
Akka tokkoon tokkoon ilmaan Israaʼel dhaala abbootii isaa argatuuf, gosa ilmaan Israaʼel keessaa intalli dhaala argattu kam iyyuu gosa abbaa ishee keessaa nama tokkotti heerumuu qabdi.
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.”
Sababii tokkoon tokkoon gosa ilmaan Israaʼel dhaala ofii isaa jabeessee qabatuuf, dhaalli tokko iyyuu gosa tokko irraa gosa kaanitti hin darbin.”
10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.
Intallan Zelofehaad akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana godhan.
11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
Intallan Zelofehaad Mahilaan, Tiirzaan, Hoglaan, Miilkaa fi Nohi ilmaan obboloota abbaa isaaniitti heeruman.
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.
Isaanis maatiiwwan ilmaan Minaasee ilma Yoosef keessatti waan heerumaniif dhaalli isaanii gosa maatii abbaa isaanii harkatti hafe.
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.
Ajajawwanii fi murtiiwwan Waaqayyo dirreewwan Moʼaab irratti, Yordaanos biratti, Yerikoo gamatti karaa Museetiin ilmaan Israaʼeliif kenne kanneenii dha.
