And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near and speak before Moses and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons 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 say, “YHWH commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord has been commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to 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.
Now [if] they have been [given] to one from the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance has been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and it is withdrawn from the lot of our inheritance,

and if it is the Jubilee of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and their inheritance is withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

And Moses commands the sons of Israel by the command of YHWH, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is speaking correctly;
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 YHWH has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, let them be for wives to a family of the tribe of their fathers;
7 Tanah pusaka setiap orang Israel akan tetap terikat kepada sukunya.
and the inheritance of the sons of Israel does not turn around from tribe to tribe; for each of the sons of Israel cleaves 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 possessing an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel is for a wife to one from the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each possess 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."
and the inheritance does not turn around from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the sons of Israel cleaves to his inheritance.”

As YHWH has commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad have done,
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are for wives to the sons of their fathers’ brothers;
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.
they have been for wives [to men] from the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.
