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.
Then came near the heads of fathers, belonging to the family of the sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, out of the families of the sons of Joseph, —and spake before Moses, and before the princes, heads of fathers belonging to the sons 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—Unto my lord, did Yahweh give command, to bestow the land as an inheritance, by lot, unto the sons of Israel, —my lord, therefore, was commanded by Yahweh, 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.
When, therefore, unto any one from among the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, they become wives their inheritance shall disappear out of the inheritance of our fathers, and be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received, —and so out of the lot of our inheritance, shall it disappear,
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 jubilee shall come to the sons of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received—and, out of the, inheritance of the tribe of our fathers, shall their inheritance disappear.
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.
Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel, at the bidding of Yahweh saying, —A right thing, are, the tribe of the sons of Joseph, speaking,
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 Yahweh hath commanded, as to the daughters of Zelophehad saying: Unto whomsoever it may be good in their eyes, let them become wives, —save only unto the family of the tribe of their father, let them become wives.
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 belonging to the sons of Israel go round from tribe to tribe, —for the sons of Israel shall, each one, cleave, unto 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 possessing all inheritance from among the tribes of the sons of Israel, unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, shall become wife, —to the intent that the sons of Israel may possess each one 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. › »
and no inheritance go round from one tribe to another tribe, —for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cleave, each one unto his own inheritance.
10 Boye, bana basi ya Tselofikadi basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
As Yahweh 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.
Thus then did Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milchah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, become wives, unto the sons of their father’s brethren.
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.
Unto men from among the families of the son of Manasseh son of Joseph, became they wives, —and so their inheritance remained with 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 regulations which Yahweh gave in charge, by the hand of Moses, unto the sons of Israel, —in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho.
