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:
The heads of the fathers’ households 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 spoke before Moses and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ households 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.
They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh 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.
If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away 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.
When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will 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.
Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
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 Yahweh commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family 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.
So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep 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.
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may each possess 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.
So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”
10 Araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataon’ ny zanakavavin’ i Zelofada,
The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:
11 ka Mahala sy Tirza sy Hogla sy Milka ary Noa, zanakavavin’ i Zelofada, dia samy nanambady ny zanaky ny rahalahin’ ny rainy avy.
for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ 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.
They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. 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 Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
