Mose 4 36

1 Gilead, Makir ƒe viŋutsu, ame si nye Manase ƒe viŋutsu, tso Yosef ƒe ƒome la me ƒe amegãwo tso hlɔ̃ la me va ƒo nu le Mose kple kplɔlawo, Israelviwo ƒe ƒometatɔwo ŋkume.

Now the heads 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 to Moses, the chiefs and the heads of families of the children of Israel being present,

2 Wogblɔ be, “Esime Yehowa ɖe gbe na nye aƒetɔ be wòadzidze nu, ama anyigba la na Israelviwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene la, egblɔ na wò be, nàtsɔ mía nɔvi Zelofehad ƒe domenyinu ana via nyɔnuwo.

And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.

3 Ke ne woɖe srɔ̃ tso to bubu aɖe me la, woatsɔ woƒe anyigba la ayi wo srɔ̃ŋutsuwo ƒe towo me. Le mɔ sia nu la, anyigba si woama na mí la dzi aɖe,

Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.

4 eye womatrɔe na mí le Aseyetsoƒe la me o.”

And at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.

5 Tete Mose ɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo siawo le Israelviwo ƒe ŋkume be, “Yosef ƒe viwo ƒe nya la le eteƒe.

So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.

6 Nu si Yehowa gagblɔ tso Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnuwo ŋue nye, ‘Mina woaɖe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si dze wo ŋu, ne ŋutsu la nya tso woawo ŋutɔ ƒe to la me ko.

This is the order of the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: The Lord says, Let them take as their husbands whoever is most pleasing to them, but only among the family of their father's tribe.

7 Le mɔ sia nu la, to la ƒe Israelnyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke mage ɖe to bubu me tɔwo ƒe asi me o, elabena ele be to sia to ƒe domenyinu nanɔ anyi tegbetegbe, abe ale si wònɔ esi womae gbã na wo la ene.

And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

8 Israelviwo ƒe toawo ƒe nyɔnuwo naɖe srɔ̃ le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe towo me, ale be woƒe anyigba madzo le to la me o.

And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage of his fathers.

9 Ale domenyinu aɖeke madzo le to aɖeke me ayi to bubu me o.’”

And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

10 Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnuwo wɔ ɖe nu si Yehowa ɖo na Mose la dzi.

So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord gave orders to Moses:

11 Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnu siawo, Mahla, Tirza, Hogla, Milka kple Noa ɖe wo fofo nɔviŋutsuwo ƒe viŋutsuwo.

For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:

12 Woɖe srɔ̃ le Manase, Yosef ƒe viŋutsu ƒe dzidzimeviwo dome, ale woƒe domenyinu la tsi wo fofo ƒe ƒome kple hlɔ̃ la me.

And were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and their property was kept in the tribe of their father's family

13 Esiawoe nye se siwo Yehowa de na Israelviwo to Mose dzi, le esime woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Moab gbedzi le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to le Yeriko kasa.

These are the laws and the orders which the Lord gave to the children of Israel by Moses, in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho.
