Resansman 36
1 Epi chèf lakay zansèt a fis a Galaad yo, fis a Makir yo, fis a Manassé a, a zansèt a Joseph yo, te vin toupre pou te pale devan Moïse ak devan chèf yo, chèf lakay zansèt a fis Israël yo.
The family heads of the descendants of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the Israelite leaders, the heads of families.
2 Yo te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande mèt pa mwen an pou bay peyi a pa tiraj osò a fis Israël yo. E mèt mwen an te kòmande pa SENYÈ a pou bay eritaj a Tselophchad la, frè nou an, bay pitit fi li yo.
They said, “When the Lord ordered you, my lord, to allocate land ownership to the Israelites by lot, he also ordered you to give our brother Zelophehad's share to his daughters.
3 Men si yo marye avèk youn nan fis nan lòt tribi fis Israël yo, eritaj yo va retire nan eritaj zansèt nou yo, e li va vin ajoute a eritaj a tribi sou sila yo vin manm nan. Konsa, l ap retire nan eritaj ki te tonbe nan dwa nou an.
However, if they marry men from the other tribes of Israel, their allocation would be taken away our fathers' share and added to the tribe of the men they marry. That part of our allocation would be lost to us.
4 Lè jibile a rive, alò, eritaj pa yo a va ajoute a eritaj tribi kote yo manm nan. Konsa, eritaj pa yo a va retire nan eritaj tribi a zansèt nou yo.”
So when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes around, their allocation would be added to the tribe into which they marry, and taken away from our fathers' tribe.”
5 Alò, Moïse te kòmande fis a Israël yo pa pawòl a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Sa ke tribi a fis Joseph yo di a se sa.
Following what the Lord told him, Moses gave these orders to the Israelites, “What the tribe of the sons of Joseph says is right.
6 Se sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande konsènan fi a Tselophchad yo e te di: ‘Kite yo marye ak nenpòt moun ke yo vle; men fòk yo marye nan pwòp fanmi a tribi zansèt papa pa yo.
This is what the Lord has ordered in regard to Zelophehad's daughters: They can marry anyone they want as long as they marry within a family that belongs to their father's tribe.
7 Konsa, nanpwen eritaj nan fis Israël yo ki va transfere de tribi a tribi, paske fis Israël yo va chak kenbe eritaj a tribi zansèt yo.
No land allocation in Israel may be passed from tribe to tribe, because every Israelite is to hold onto the allocation of his father's tribe.
8 Chak fi ki vin posede yon eritaj nan yon tribi a fis Israël yo va madanm a yon moun ki nan fanmi tribi zansèt papa li a, pou chak fis Israël yo kapab posede eritaj a zansèt pa yo.
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Konsa nanpwen eritaj k ap transfere de yon tribi rive nan yon lòt tribi. Paske, tribi a fis Israël yo va chak kenbe nan pwòp eritaj pa yo.’”
No land allocation may be passed from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe must hold onto its own allocation.”
10 Jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, se konsa fi a Tselophchad yo te fè:
Zelophehad's daughters followed the Lord's orders through Moses.
11 Machla, Thirtsa, Hogla, Milca, ak Noa, fi a Tselophchad yo, yo te marye avèk fis a tonton yo.
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, Zelophehad's daughters, married cousins on their father's side.
12 Yo te marye sa yo soti nan fanmi a fis a Manassé yo, fis a Joseph la, e eritaj yo te rete avèk tribi a fanmi zansèt papa yo.
They married within the families of the descendants of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their land allocation stayed within their father's tribe.
13 Sa yo se kòmandman ak règleman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a fis Israël yo pa Moïse nan plèn Moab yo akote Jourdain an, anfas Jéricho.
These are the orders and regulations that the Lord gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
