< Liber Numeri 36 >
1 Accesserunt autem et principes familiarum Galaad filii Machir, filii Manasse de stirpe filiorum Ioseph: locutique sunt Moysi coram principibus Israel, atque dixerunt:
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 Tibi domino nostro praecepit Dominus ut Terram sorte divideres filiis Israel, et ut filiabus Salphaad fratris nostri dares possessionem debitam patri:
and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 quas si alterius tribus homines uxores acceperint, sequetur possessio sua, et translata ad aliam tribum de nostra hereditate minuetur.
'And — they have been to one of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,
4 atque ita fiet, ut cum iubilaeus, id est quinquagesimus annus remissionis advenerit, confundatur sortium distributio, et aliorum possessio ad alios transeat.
and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.'
5 Respondit Moyses filiis Israel, et Domino praecipiente, ait: Recte tribus filiorum Ioseph locuta est.
And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, 'Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;
6 et haec lex super filiabus Salphaad a Domino promulgata est: Nubant quibus volunt, tantum ut suae tribus hominibus:
this [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be for wives;
7 ne commisceatur possessio filiorum Israel de tribu in tribum. Omnes enim viri ducent uxores de tribu et cognatione sua:
and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.
8 et cunctae feminae de eadem tribu maritos accipient: ut hereditas permaneat in familiis,
'And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each the inheritance of his fathers,
9 nec sibi misceantur tribus, sed ita maneant
and the inheritance doth not turn round from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes of the sons of Israel.'
10 ut a Domino separatae sunt. Feceruntque filiae Salphaad ut fuerat imperatum:
As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,
11 et nupserunt Maala, et Thersa, et Hegla, et Melcha, et Noa filiis patrui sui
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers' brethren for wives;
12 de familia Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph: et possessio, quae illis fuerat attributa, mansit in tribu et familia patris earum.
[to men] of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Haec sunt mandata atque iudicia, quae mandavit Dominus per manum Moysi ad filios Israel, in campestribus Moab supra Iordanem contra Iericho.
These [are] the commands and the judgments which Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
