Ọnụọgụgụ 36
1 Nʼoge ahụ, ndịisi ezi agbụrụ Gilead, nwa Makia, nwa Manase, otu nʼime ụmụ Josef, bịakwutere Mosis na ndị ndu, na ndịisi ezi ụmụ Izrel sị ha:
And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:
2 “Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere unu onyenwe m iwu inye ụmụ Izrel ala ahụ nʼihe nketa site nʼife nza, onye nyekwara gị iwu iwere ihe nketa nwanne anyị nwoke Zelofehad nyefee nʼaka ụmụ ya ndị inyom.
and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.
3 Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na ha alụọ ndị ikom Izrel si nʼebo ọzọ, mgbe ahụ, ihe nketa ha ga-abụ nke anapụrụ anyị, tụkwasị nʼihe nketa nke ebo ebe ha lụrụ di. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa anyị ga-abụ nke e wepụrụ ihe site na ya.
And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our inheritance.
4 Mgbe afọ inwere onwe nye Izrel ruru, a ga-agụnye ihe nketa ha nʼebo ebe ha lụrụ dị. A ga-esi otu a wepụ ala ha site nʼihe nketa nke nna nna anyị ha ketara.”
And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance, shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere ndị Izrel ntụziaka site nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Ihe ndị ikom ebo Josef na-ekwu ziri ezi.
And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.
6 Ma nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye maka ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad. Ha nwere ike ịlụ onye ọbụla masịrị ha, ma onye ha ga-alụ ga-abụrịrị onye si nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ha.
This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry [men] of their father's tribe.
7 O nweghị ihe nketa ọbụla nʼIzrel ga-esi nʼaka otu ebo gafee nʼebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ihe nketa nke ebo ọbụla ga-adịgidere ha dịka otu e siri kee ya nye nna nna ha.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.
8 Nwa nwanyị Izrel ọbụla ketara ala nʼebo Izrel ọ bụla ga-alụ di site nʼagbụrụ ebo nna ya. Ka ala ha ghara ịgafere ebo ọzọ.
And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children Israel, [such] women shall be married each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father's tribe.
9 Ọ dịghị ihe nketa ọbụla ga-esi nʼotu ebo feere ebo ọzọ. Nʼihi na ebo Izrel ọbụla ga-edebere onwe ha ala ha ketara.”
And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.
10 Ya mere, ụmụ ndị inyom Zelofehad mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.
11 Ụmụ Zelofehad ndị a: Mahla, na Tịaza, na Hogla, na Milka, na Noa, lụrụ ndị ikom si nʼebo nna ha.
So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;
12 Ha lụrụ di nʼagbụrụ ụmụ Manase, nwa Josef. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ihe nketa ha dịgidere nʼebo na agbụrụ nna ha.
they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father's family.
13 Ndị a bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka Mosis nye ndị Izrel nʼoge ha nọ nʼobosara ala Moab, nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan, na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
