Bilangan 36
1 Para kepala keluarga dalam kaum Gilead, anak Makhir, yaitu cucu Manasye, anak Yusuf, pergi menghadap Musa dan pemimpin-pemimpin lainnya.
And the chief fathers of the families 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 chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 Kata mereka, "TUHAN menyuruh kamu membagikan tanah itu kepada orang Israel dengan cara membuang undi. Ia juga menyuruh kamu memberikan tanah pusaka saudara kami Zelafehad kepada anak-anaknya perempuan.
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 Tetapi perlu diingat bahwa apabila mereka itu kawin dengan orang laki-laki dari suku lain, tanah mereka jatuh ke tangan suku itu. Dengan demikian tanah yang ditentukan sebagai wilayah kami akan berkurang.
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Dalam Tahun Pengembalian, pada waktu seluruh harta milik yang telah dijual dikembalikan kepada pemiliknya yang semula, tanah anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad itu akan tetap menjadi milik suami-suami mereka, sehingga suku kami kehilangan tanah itu."
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Lalu Musa menyampaikan kepada bangsa Israel perintah ini dari TUHAN, "Apa yang dikatakan orang-orang keturunan Yusuf itu benar,
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
6 dan karena itu TUHAN berkata bahwa anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad bebas kawin dengan siapa saja yang mereka sukai, asal yang sama sukunya dengan mereka.
This is the thing which the LORD does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7 Tanah pusaka setiap orang Israel akan tetap terikat kepada sukunya.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Setiap wanita yang mewarisi tanah pusaka di dalam salah satu suku bangsa Israel, harus kawin dengan orang dari suku itu juga. Dengan demikian setiap orang Israel akan mewarisi tanah pusaka nenek moyangnya,
And every daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 sehingga tanah pusaka itu tidak berpindah-pindah dari satu suku ke suku yang lain. Setiap suku bangsa Israel akan tetap memiliki tanah pusakanya sendiri."
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Jadi sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepada Musa, kelima anak perempuan Zelafehad itu, yakni Mahla, Tirza, Hogla, Milka dan Noa kawin dengan orang-orang yang masih saudara dari pihak ayah.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
12 Mereka kawin dengan orang-orang dari kaum-kaum dalam suku bangsa Manasye, anak Yusuf. Dengan demikian tanah pusaka mereka tetap menjadi milik suku bangsa ayah mereka.
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Itulah peraturan-peraturan dan ketetapan-ketetapan yang diberikan TUHAN kepada bangsa Israel melalui Musa, waktu bangsa Israel ada di dataran Moab di tepi Sungai Yordan, dekat kota Yerikho.
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
