Numbers 36

1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:

Pea ko e kau mātuʻa ko e tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Kiliati ko e foha ʻo Mekili ko e foha ia ʻo Manase, ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa, naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai ʻonau lea ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, mo e ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki, ko e kau mātuʻa tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:

2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki heʻeku ʻeiki ke foaki ʻae fonua ʻi he talotalo, ko e tofiʻa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki heʻeku ʻeiki ke foaki ʻae tofiʻa ʻo Silofitati ko homau tokoua ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine.

3 And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

Pea kapau tenau mali mo e niʻihi ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe toki tō ai honau tofiʻa mei he tofiʻa ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻe tuku ia ki he tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻaia kuo nau ʻalu ki ai: pea ʻe mole pehē ia mei he talotalo ʻo homau tofiʻa.

4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

Pea ʻoka hoko ʻae siupeli ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe lau ai honau tofiʻa ki he tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻaia kuo nau maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea ʻe mole pehē ʻa honau tofiʻa mei he tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai.”

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo lea totonu ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Siosefa.

6 This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

Ko e meʻa eni kuo fekau ʻe Sihova koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silofitati, ʻo pehē, Tuku ʻakinautolu kenau fakamaʻu mo kinautolu ʻoku nau manako ki ai; ka tenau fakamaʻu ʻi he fānau ʻoe faʻahinga pe ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai hiki ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ha faʻahinga ki ha faʻahinga: ka tenau taki taha pikitai ki he tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

Pea ko e ʻofefine kotoa pē, ʻoku ne maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi ha faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo ha tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻene tamai, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻae tofiʻa ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

Kaeʻoua ʻe hiki ʻae tofiʻa mei ha faʻahinga ʻe taha ki ha faʻahinga kehe; kae taki taha pikitai ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.”

10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

‌ʻO hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe fai pehē ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silofitati:

11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons:

He naʻe fakamaʻu ʻa Mala, mo Tilisa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Noa, ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silofitati, mo e ngaahi foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻenau tamai.

12 [And] they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

Pea naʻa nau fakamaʻu ki he ngaahi fānau ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, pea naʻe maʻu honau tofiʻa ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻo ʻenau tamai.

13 These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.

Ko e ngaahi fekau eni mo e ngaahi fono, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese ki he fanau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi potu tafangafanga ʻo Moape ʻoku ofi ki Soatani, pea ofi ki Seliko.
