Mitango 36
1 Bakonzi ya mabota ya etuka ya bakitani ya Galadi, mwana mobali ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase mpe mokitani ya Jozefi, bayaki liboso ya Moyize mpe liboso ya bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele mpo na kosolola na bango.
And the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the children of Israel:
2 Balobaki: « Tango Yawe apesaki mitindo epai ya nkolo na ngai ete apesa mokili lokola libula epai ya bana ya Isalaele na kobeta zeke, apesaki yo mpe mitindo ya kopesa libula ya Tselofikadi, ndeko na biso ya mobali, epai ya bana na ye ya basi.
and they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for 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 Boye, soki esalemi ete bana basi yango babali mibali oyo bawuti na mabota mosusu ya Isalaele, libula na bango ekolongwa na libula ya batata na biso, mpe bakobakisa yango na libula ya libota ya mibali oyo bakobala bango. Bongo, libula oyo epesamelaki biso ekokoma moke.
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 away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Tango mobu ya kosepela kokangolama ekokoma mpo na bana ya Isalaele, libula ya bana basi yango ekobakisama na libula ya mabota ya mibali oyo babalaki bango, mpe bakozwa mabele na bango wuta na libula ya libota ya bakoko na biso. »
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Boye, na etinda ya Yawe, Moyize epesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: « Makambo oyo libota ya bakitani ya Jozefi balobi ezali na nzela.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right.
6 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki mpo na bana basi ya Tselofikadi: ‹ Bakoki solo kobalana na mibali nyonso oyo bango balingi, kasi ezala kaka kati na mibali ya libota ya tata na bango.
This is the thing which the LORD doth 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 Pamba te libula moko te kati na Isalaele ekoki kolongwa na libota moko mpo na kokende na libota mosusu; moto nyonso ya Isalaele asengeli kobatela mabele ya libota oyo azwaki lokola libula wuta na bakoko na ye.
So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Mwana mwasi nyonso kati na bikolo ya Isalaele oyo akozwa mabele lokola libula asengeli kobalana kaka na mobali ya libota ya tata na ye mpo ete moto nyonso ya Isalaele azwa libula ya tata na ye.
And every daughter, that possesseth 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 possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Libula moko te ekoki kolongwa na libota moko mpo na kokende na libota mosusu, pamba te libota moko na moko ya Isalaele esengeli kobatela mabele oyo esili kozwa lokola libula. › »
So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one to his own inheritance.
10 Boye, bana basi ya Tselofikadi basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Bana basi ya Tselofikadi: Mala, Tiritsa, Ogila, Milika mpe Noa; babalanaki na bandeko na bango, na ngambo ya libota ya tata na bango.
for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons.
12 Babalanaki kati na etuka ya bakitani ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi, mpe libula na bango etikalaki na libota mpe etuka ya tata na bango.
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 Oyo ezali nde mibeko mpe malako oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize epai ya bana ya Isalaele na bitando ya Moabi, oyo etalana na Jeriko, pene ya Yordani.
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 the Jordan at Jericho.
