Numbers 36
1 The heads of the fathers’ households of the family 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 heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.
Gilead abusua no ntuanofo, Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima ne Yosef nena asefo, kɔɔ Mose ne Israel mmusua ntuanofo no nkyɛn de adesrɛde kɔtoo wɔn anim.
2 They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
Wɔkae se, “Awurade hyɛɛ wo se bɔ ntonto na gyina so kyekyɛ asase no ma Israelfo no. Awurade ɔhyɛɛ wo se fa yɛn nuabarima Selofehad agyapade ma ne mmabea.
3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
Na sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔn mu bi kɔware wɔ abusua foforo mu a, ɔde asase a wɔde ama no no bɛkɔ aware. Sɛ ɛba saa a, yɛn abusua no asase a wɔde ama yɛn no so bɛtew.
4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
Sɛ Israelfo Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du so a, wɔde wɔn agyapade no bɛka abusua a wɔkɔwaree wɔ mu no de ho, na wobeyi afi yɛn agyanom abusua agyapade mu.”
5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
Enti Mose de saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm a efi Awurade yi maa Israelfo no: “Yosef abusuakuw mu nnipa no asɛm no yɛ nokware.
6 This is the thing which Yahweh commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.
Nea Awurade rehyɛ ama Selofehad mmabea no ni: Wotumi ware ɔbarima biara a wɔpɛ a ofi wɔn agya abusuakuw mu.
7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ Israel agyapade biara fi abusuakuw bi mu kɔ abusuakuw foforo nsam, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ Israel agyanom abusuakuw biara agyapade tena hɔ sɛnea ɛte no.
8 Every daughter who possesses 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 each possess the inheritance of his fathers.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mmabea a wɔwɔ Israel mmusuakuw mu nyinaa a agyapade tumi kɔ wɔn nsam no wareware wɔ wɔn agyanom mmusuakuw mu na Israel abusuakuw biara agyanom agyapade amfi wɔn abusuakuw mu.
9 So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”
Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapade biara fi abusuakuw bi nsam kodi ɔfoforo nsam, ɛsɛ sɛ Israel Abusuakuw biara asase a wanya no tena hɔ.”
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:
Selofehad mmabea no yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka ne Noa nyinaa wareware wɔn agyanom nuabarimanom mma.
12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Wɔwarewaree wɔ Yosef babarima Manase mmusua mu enti wɔn agyapade no kaa wɔn abusuakuw no mu.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Eyinom ne mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo wɔ Moab tataw so no, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan a na wɔafi Yeriko atwa no.
