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.
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:
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 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.
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,
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe which they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 eye womatrɔe na mí le Aseyetsoƒe la me o.”
And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance 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.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
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 thing which the LORD does 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.
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.
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.
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, that 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 enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Ale domenyinu aɖeke madzo le to aɖeke me ayi to bubu me o.’”
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.
10 Zelofehad ƒe vinyɔnuwo wɔ ɖe nu si Yehowa ɖo na Mose la dzi.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
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, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons:
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 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.
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 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.
