Resansman 36
1 Moun branch fanmi Galarad yo se desandan Maki yo ye. Maki sa a se te pitit Manase, yonn nan de pitit Jozèf yo. Chèf fanmi moun Galarad yo al jwenn Moyiz ak lòt chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la,
Then the leaders of the ancestors' families of the clan of Gilead son of Machir (who was Manasseh's son), who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestor's families of the people of Israel.
2 yo di yo konsa: -Seyè a te ba ou, Moyiz, lòd pou ou te separe peyi a bay chak branch fanmi Izrayèl la pa yo dapre sa ki va soti pou yo lè y'a tire osò. Apre sa, Seyè a ta ba ou lòd pou ou te pran pòsyon ki pou Zelochad, fanmi nou an, pou ou bay pitit fi li yo.
They said, “Yahweh commanded you, our master, to give a share of land by lot to the people of Israel. You were commanded by Yahweh to give the share of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 Men, si medam sa yo marye ak yon nonm ki fè pati yon lòt branch nan fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pòsyon ki pou yo a pral soti sou tè zansèt pa nou yo. Konsa, pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi nonm yo marye a pral vin pi plis, epi pòsyon tè ki te vin pou nou an lè yo te tire osò a pral vin pi piti.
But if his daughters marry men in another tribe of the people of Israel, then their share of land will be removed from our ancestor's share. It will be added to the share of the tribes that they join. In that case, it will be removed from the assigned share of our inheritance.
4 Lè lanne rejwisans lan va rive pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo pral pran pòsyon tè ki te pou medam sa yo, yo pral wete l' nan pa branch fanmi zansèt nou yo, yo pral mete l' sou pa branch fanmi mari yo.
In that case, when the year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their share will be joined to the share of the tribe that they have joined. In this way, their share will be taken away from the share of our ancestors' tribe.”
5 Se konsa, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li, Moyiz bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo regleman sa a pou yo swiv. Li di yo konsa: -Moun branch fanmi Jozèf yo gen rezon.
So Moses gave a command to the people of Israel, at Yahweh's word. He said, “What the tribe of Joseph's descendants says is right.
6 Se poutèt sa, men lòd Seyè a bay: Pitit fi Zelochad yo lib marye moun yo vle, depi se yon moun ki nan menm branch fanmi ak yo.
This is what Yahweh commands concerning Zelophehad's daughters. He says, 'Let them be married to whom they think best, but they must marry only within the family of their father's tribe.'
7 Pòsyon tè yon branch fanmi pa gen dwa pase pou yon lòt branch fanmi. Konsa, pòsyon tè yon fanmi va toujou rete nan fanmi an.
No share of the people of Israel must change from one tribe to another. Each one of the people of Israel must continue with the share of his ancestor's tribe.
8 Si yon fi vin eritye yon pòsyon nan tè yonn nan branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, se pou l' marye ak yon moun ki nan menm branch fanmi avè l'. Konsa, chak moun va kenbe eritaj zansèt yo nan fanmi an.
Every woman of the people of Israel who owns a share in her tribe must marry someone from the clans belonging to her father's tribe. This is so that everyone of the people of Israel may own an inheritance from his ancestors.
9 Tè yon branch fanmi p'ap ka pase pou yon lòt branch fanmi. Konsa, pòsyon tè ki pou yon fanmi va toujou rete nan fanmi an.
No share may change hands from one tribe to another. Everyone of the tribes of the people of Israel must keep his own inheritance.”
10 Se konsa, pitit fi Zelochad yo fè jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
So Zelophehad's daughters did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
11 Mala, Tiza, Ogla, Milka ak Noa marye ak pitit gason tonton yo bò papa.
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married descendants of Manasseh.
12 Yo marye nan branch fanmi Manase, pitit Jozèf la. Konsa, pòsyon tè papa yo a rete nan menm branch fanmi an.
They married into the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph. In this way, their inheritances remained in the tribe to which their father's clan belonged.
13 Men tout lòd ak regleman Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, lè yo te nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko.
These are the commands and the decrees that Yahweh gave by Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
