Nomery 36

1 Dia nanatona ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Gileada, zanak’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, avy tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Josefa, ka niteny teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy sy ny lehibe, lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka nanao hoe:

And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:

2 Hianao, tompokolahy, efa nodidian’ i Jehovah hizara ny tany amin’ ny filokana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ianao, tompokolahy, efa nodidian’ i Jehovah hanome ny zara-tanin’ i Zelofada rahalahinay ho an’ ny zananivavy.

and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.

3 Koa raha manambady ny zanakalahin’ ny firenena sasany amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo, dia hesorina amin’ ny an’ ny razanay ny zara-taniny ka hanampy ny zara-tanin’ ny firenena izay hatoniny, dia hesorina amin’ ny zara-taninay izay azonay tamin’ ny filokana izany.

And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our inheritance.

4 Ary raha tonga ny Jobilin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ny zara-taniny dia hanampy ny an’ ny firenena izay hatoniny, ary ny azy dia hesorina amin’ ny zara-tanin’ ny razanay.

And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance, shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.

5 Ary Mosesy nandidy ny Zanak’ Isiraely araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Marina ny tenin’ ny firenena taranak’ i Josefa.

And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.

6 Izao no teny izay andidian’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Zelofada: Aoka izy hanambady izay tiany, nefa ny ao amin’ ny fokon’ ny firenen’ ny razany ihany no hovadiny.

This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry [men] of their father's tribe.

7 Dia tsy hifindra maso ny zara-tanin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; fa samy ho eo amin’ ny zara-tanin’ ny razany avy no hipetrahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.

8 Ary ny zazavavy rehetra izay mandova zara-tany eo amin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia hanambady ny anankiray ao amin’ ny fokon’ ny firenen’ ny razany ihany, mba hananan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra ny zara-tanin’ ny razany avy.

And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children Israel, [such] women shall be married each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father's tribe.

9 Ary aoka tsy hisy hifindra maso ny zara-tanin’ ny firenena samy hafa, fa samy ho eo amin’ ny azy avy no hipetrahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.

10 Araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataon’ ny zanakavavin’ i Zelofada,

As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.

11 ka Mahala sy Tirza sy Hogla sy Milka ary Noa, zanakavavin’ i Zelofada, dia samy nanambady ny zanaky ny rahalahin’ ny rainy avy.

So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;

12 Izay avy tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Manase, zanak’ i Josefa, no novadin’ ireo, ka dia nitoetra teo amin’ ny firenen’ ny mpianakavin’ ny rainy ihany ny zara-taniny.

they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father's family.

13 Ireo no didy sy fitsipika izay nandidian’ i Jehovah ka nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy ho amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo Arbota-moaba, teo amoron’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko.

These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
