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.
Then the leaders of the ancestors' families of the clan of Gilead son of Machir (who was Manasseh's son), who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestor's families of the people of Israel.
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.
They said, “Yahweh commanded you, our master, to give a share of land by lot to the people of Israel. You were commanded by Yahweh to give the share of Zelophehad our brother 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 his daughters marry men in another tribe of the people of Israel, then their share of land will be removed from our ancestor's share. It will be added to the share of the tribes that they join. In that case, it will be removed from the assigned share of our inheritance.
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.”
In that case, when the year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their share will be joined to the share of the tribe that they have joined. In this way, their share will be taken away from the share of our ancestors' tribe.”
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 Moses gave a command to the people of Israel, at Yahweh's word. He said, “What the tribe of Joseph's descendants says is right.
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 Yahweh commands concerning Zelophehad's daughters. He says, 'Let them be married to whom they think best, but they must marry only within the family of their father's tribe.'
7 Acn sin mwet Israel nukewa ac fah karinginyuk tuh in oanna ke sruf lal.
No share of the people of Israel must change from one tribe to another. Each one of the people of Israel must continue with the share of his ancestor's tribe.
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 woman of the people of Israel who owns a share in her tribe must marry someone from the clans belonging to her father's tribe. This is so that everyone of the people of Israel may own an inheritance from his ancestors.
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 share may change hands from one tribe to another. Everyone of the tribes of the people of Israel must keep his own inheritance.”
10 Acn natul Zelophehad elos oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
So Zelophehad's daughters did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
11 Ouinge Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Noah, eltal payukyak sin wen nutin tamulel lun papa tumalos.
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married descendants of Manasseh.
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 into the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph. In this way, their inheritances remained in the tribe to which their father's clan belonged.
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 commands and the decrees that Yahweh gave by Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
