< Numbers 36 >

1 Then the leaders of the ancestors' families of the clan of Gilead son of Machir (who was Manasseh's son), who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestor's families of the people of Israel.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndịisi ezi agbụrụ Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase, otu nʼime ụmụ Josef, bịakwutere Mosis na ndị ndu, na ndịisi ezi ụmụ Izrel sị ha:
2 They said, “Yahweh commanded you, our master, to give a share of land by lot to the people of Israel. You were commanded by Yahweh to give the share of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
“Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere unu onyenwe m iwu inye ụmụ Izrel ala ahụ nʼihe nketa site nʼife nza, onye nyekwara gị iwu iwere ihe nketa nwanne anyị nwoke Zelofehad nyefee nʼaka ụmụ ya ndị inyom.
3 But if his daughters marry men in another tribe of the people of Israel, then their share of land will be removed from our ancestor's share. It will be added to the share of the tribes that they join. In that case, it will be removed from the assigned share of our inheritance.
Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na ha alụọ ndị ikom Izrel si nʼebo ọzọ, mgbe ahụ, ihe nketa ha ga-abụ nke anapụrụ anyị, tụkwasị nʼihe nketa nke ebo ebe ha lụrụ di. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa anyị ga-abụ nke e wepụrụ ihe site na ya.
4 In that case, when the year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their share will be joined to the share of the tribe that they have joined. In this way, their share will be taken away from the share of our ancestors' tribe.”
Mgbe afọ inwere onwe nye Izrel ruru, a ga-agụnye ihe nketa ha nʼebo ebe ha lụrụ dị. A ga-esi otu a wepụ ala ha site nʼihe nketa nke nna nna anyị ha ketara.”
5 So Moses gave a command to the people of Israel, at Yahweh's word. He said, “What the tribe of Joseph's descendants says is right.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere ndị Izrel ntụziaka site nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Ihe ndị ikom ebo Josef na-ekwu ziri ezi.
6 This is what Yahweh commands concerning Zelophehad's daughters. He says, 'Let them be married to whom they think best, but they must marry only within the family of their father's tribe.'
Ma nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye maka ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad. Ha nwere ike ịlụ onye ọbụla masịrị ha, ma onye ha ga-alụ ga-abụrịrị onye si nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ha.
7 No share of the people of Israel must change from one tribe to another. Each one of the people of Israel must continue with the share of his ancestor's tribe.
O nweghị ihe nketa ọbụla nʼIzrel ga-esi nʼaka otu ebo gafee nʼebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ihe nketa nke ebo ọbụla ga-adịgidere ha dịka otu e siri kee ya nye nna nna ha.
8 Every woman of the people of Israel who owns a share in her tribe must marry someone from the clans belonging to her father's tribe. This is so that everyone of the people of Israel may own an inheritance from his ancestors.
Nwa nwanyị Izrel ọbụla ketara ala nʼebo Izrel ọ bụla ga-alụ di site nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ya. Ka ala ha ghara ịgafere ebo ọzọ.
9 No share may change hands from one tribe to another. Everyone of the tribes of the people of Israel must keep his own inheritance.”
Ọ dịghị ihe nketa ọbụla ga-esi nʼotu ebo feere ebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ebo Izrel ọbụla ga-edebere onwe ha ala ha ketara.”
10 So Zelophehad's daughters did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married descendants of Manasseh.
Ụmụ Zelofehad ndị a: Mahla, na Tịaza, na Hogla, na Milka, na Noa, lụrụ ndị ikom si nʼebo nna ha.
12 They married into the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph. In this way, their inheritances remained in the tribe to which their father's clan belonged.
Ha lụrụ di nʼagbụrụ ụmụ Manase, nwa Josef. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa ha dịgidere nʼebo na agbụrụ nna ha.
13 These are the commands and the decrees that Yahweh gave by Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Ndị a bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka Mosis nye ndị Izrel nʼoge ha nọ nʼobosara ala Moab, nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan, na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
