Nombres 36
1 Or, les princes des familles de Galaad, fils de Machir, fils de Manassé, de la race des fils de Joseph, s’approchèrent, parlèrent à Moïse devant les princes d’Israël et dirent:
And there came near the chiefs of the divisions of the family of the children of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph; and they spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chiefs of the divisions of the children of Israel;
2 C’est à toi qui es notre seigneur, que le Seigneur a ordonné de partager par le sort la terre aux enfants d’Israël, et de donner aux filles de Salphaad, notre frère, la possession due à leur père.
And they said, the Lord hath commanded my Lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my Lord hath been commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 Si des hommes d’une autre tribu les prennent pour femmes, leur possession les suivra, et transférée à une autre tribu, elle sera retranchée de notre héritage:
And if they become the wives of 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 be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereamong they may be married; and from the lot of our inheritance will it be taken away.
4 Et ainsi il arrivera que, lorsque le jubilé, c’est-à-dire la cinquantième année de la rémission, sera venu, la distribution des sorts sera confondue, et que la possession des uns passera aux autres.
And whenever the jubilee shall be to the children of Israel: then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereamong they may be married; and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers will their inheritance be taken away.
5 Moïse répondit aux enfants d’Israël, et, le Seigneur ordonnant, il dit: C’est sagement que la tribu des enfants de Joseph a parié:
And Moses commanded the children of Israel by the order of the Lord, saying, the tribe of the sons of Joseph have spoken well.
6 Et voici la loi sur les filles de Salphaad, promulguée par le Seigneur: Qu’elles épousent ceux qu’elles voudront, mais seulement des hommes de leur tribu;
This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those who are pleasing in their eyes may they become wives; however only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they become wives.
7 Afin que la possession des enfants d’Israël ne se mêle point d’une tribu en une autre. Car tous les hommes prendront des femmes de leur tribu et de leur parenté,
And the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not pass from tribe to tribe; but the children of Israel shall adhere every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Et toutes les femmes prendront des maris de la même tribu, afin que l’héritage demeure constamment dans les familles,
And every daughter that inheriteth any possession out of any tribe of the children of Israel, shall become the wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father; in order that the children of Israel may inherit every one the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Et que les tribus ne se mêlent point entre elles, mais qu’elles demeurent ainsi
And no inheritance shall pass from one tribe to another tribe; but the tribes of the children of Israel shall adhere, every one, to his own inheritance.
10 Qu’elles ont été séparées par le Seigneur. Or, les filles de Salphaad firent comme il leur avait été commandé:
Even as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;
11 Et Maala, Thersa, Hégla, Melcha et Noa épousèrent les fils de leur oncle paternel,
And Machlah, Tirzah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and No'ah, the daughters of Zelophehad became the wives of the sons of their uncles.
12 De la famille de Manassé, qui fut fils de Joseph; et la possession qui leur avait été assignée, demeura dans la tribu et la famille de leur père.
[To persons] of the families of the sons of Menasseh the son of Joseph did they become wives, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Tels sont les commandements et les ordonnances que commanda le Seigneur par l’entremise de Moïse aux enfants d’Israël, dans les plaines de Moab, sur le Jourdain, contre Jéricho.
These are the commandments and the ordinances, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel, in the plain of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
