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,
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.
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, “The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance 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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the LORD’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what 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 the thing which the LORD 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.’”
10 Se konsa, pitit fi Zelochad yo fè jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:
11 Mala, Tiza, Ogla, Milka ak Noa marye ak pitit gason tonton yo bò papa.
for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
12 Yo marye nan branch fanmi Manase, pitit Jozèf la. Konsa, pòsyon tè papa yo a rete nan menm branch fanmi an.
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.
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 commandments and the ordinances which the LORD commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
