Oekyuk 36
1 Mwet nukewa su sifen sou ke sou lulap lun Gilead, wen natul Machir ac nutin natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, elos som nu yorol Moses ac mwet kol saya.
Now the family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one of the clans of Joseph, approached Moses and the leaders who were the heads of the Israelite families and addressed them,
2 Elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El sap kom in kitalik facl se inge nu sin mwet Israel ke fa. El oayapa sapkin nu sum in sang acn lun Zelophehad, mwet wiasr, nu sin acn natul.
saying, “When the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, He also commanded him to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.
3 Tusruktu, esam lah elos fin payukyak sin mukul in siena sruf, na acn lalos ac fah ma lac lun sruf sac, ac lupa nufon se ituku lasr inge ac srikeni.
But if they marry any of the men from the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the portion of our fathers and added to the tribe into which they marry. So our allotted inheritance would be taken away.
4 Ke Yac in Folokyang — pacl se ma acn nukewa ma tuh kukakinyukla ac enenu in sifilpa utukeni nu yurin mwet ma la meet ah — na mwe usru lun acn natul Zelophehad ac tuh weang acn lun sruf ma elos payuk nu se nwe tok, na ac fah wanginla liki acn lasr uh.”
And when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to the tribe into which they marry and taken away from the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Ke ma inge Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Israel ma LEUM GOD El sapkin inge. El fahk, “Ma mwet in sruf lal Manasseh inge fahk uh pwaye.
So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk mu acn natul Zelophehad elos sukosok in payuk sin kutena mwet elos lungse, tusruktu inmasrlon na mwet in sruf lalos sifacna.
This is what the LORD has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.
7 Acn sin mwet Israel nukewa ac fah karinginyuk tuh in oanna ke sruf lal.
No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Mutan nukewa ma oasr mwe usru lal ke sie sruf lun Israel, enenu na in payuk sin sie mukul in sruf sacn. In ouiya se inge kais sie mwet Israel fah usrui acn lun papa matu tumal.
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 Na acn uh ac tia som liki sie sruf nu ke sie pacna sruf. Kais sie sruf ac fah sruokyana acn lal uh.”
No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”
10 Acn natul Zelophehad elos oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11 Ouinge Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Noah, eltal payukyak sin wen nutin tamulel lun papa tumalos.
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side.
12 Elos payuk sin mwet in sruf lun fwilin tulik natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, ac acn selos uh oanna in sruf lun papa tumalos.
They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.
13 Pa inge ma sap ac ma oakwuk ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, su ma nu sin mwet Israel, in acn mwesis lun Moab sisken infacl Jordan tulanang acn Jericho.
These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
