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 chief fathers of families of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers 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, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad 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.

Now if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot 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 when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

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 commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

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 Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father,

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.

that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

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 every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers,

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 pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance.

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

Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;

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

and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons.

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.

To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

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 which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
