1 Niharine mb’eo o mpiaolon’ anjomban-droaem-pifokoan-tarira’ i Gilade ana’ i Makire, ana’ i Menasè, hasavereña’ o ana’ Iosefeoo vaho nilañoñe añatrefa’ i Mosè naho o talèo naho o talèn’ anjomban-droae’ o ana’ Israeleoo,
The family heads of the descendants of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the Israelite leaders, the heads of families.
2 nanao ty hoe: Linili’ Iehovà i talèkoy ty hanolotse i tane lovaeñey an-tsapake; vaho linili’ Iehovà i talèkoy ty hanolotse i lovan-drahalahi’ay Tselofekhàdey amo anak’ ampela’eo.
They said, “When the Lord ordered you, my lord, to allocate land ownership to the Israelites by lot, he also ordered you to give our brother Zelophehad's share to his daughters.
3 Aa naho ivalia’ ty anam-pifokoa ila’e amo ana’ Israeleo, le ho rambeseñe ami’ty lovan-droae’ay ty lova’ iareo vaho ho tovoñañe ami’ty lova’ i fifokoañe nivalie’ey; aa le ho liniva amy lova niazo’ay an-tsapakey.
However, if they marry men from the other tribes of Israel, their allocation would be taken away our fathers' share and added to the tribe of the men they marry. That part of our allocation would be lost to us.
4 Le ie avy i Jobili’ o ana’ Israeleio, ho tovoñañe ami’ ty lova’ i fifokoañe nañeng’ azey i lova’ey; le ho livaeñe ami’ ty lovam-pifokoan-droae’ay i lova’ey.
So when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes around, their allocation would be added to the tribe into which they marry, and taken away from our fathers' tribe.”
5 Le hoe ty linili’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, To ty saontsi’ o tariram-pifokoa’ Iosefeo.
Following what the Lord told him, Moses gave these orders to the Israelites, “What the tribe of the sons of Joseph says is right.
6 Aa hoe ty linili’ Iehovà omba o anak’ ampela’ i Tselofekhàdeo: angao hifanambaly amy ze tea’e fe tsy mete tsy amo tariram-pifokoan-droae’eo avao ty anambalia’ iareo.
This is what the Lord has ordered in regard to Zelophehad's daughters: They can marry anyone they want as long as they marry within a family that belongs to their father's tribe.
7 Aa le tsy hafindra am-pifokoañe raike ho ami’ty fifokoañe ila’e o lovao; fa songa hitañe ty lovam-pifokoan-droae’e o ana’ Israeleo.
No land allocation in Israel may be passed from tribe to tribe, because every Israelite is to hold onto the allocation of his father's tribe.
8 Le hanambaly ami’ty fifokoan-droae’e ze anak’ ampela mitan-dova ami’ty fifokoañe raik’ amo ana’ Israeleo, soa te songa hitan-dovan-droae’e o ana’ Israeleo.
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Aa le tsy hafindra ho ami’ty fifokoañe ila’e ty lova fa sambe mitan-ty lova’e o fifokoan’ ana’ Israeleo.
No land allocation may be passed from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe must hold onto its own allocation.”
10 Nanoe’ o anak’ampela’ i Tselofekadeo ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
Zelophehad's daughters followed the Lord's orders through Moses.
11 Le nifanambaly ami’ty anan-drahalahin-drae’e t’i Maklà, i Tirtsà, naho i Koglà vaho i Noà ana’ i Tselofekade.
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, Zelophehad's daughters, married cousins on their father's side.
12 Nifanambaly amo tarira’ o nte-Menasè ana’ Iosefeo iereo vaho mireketse am-pifokoan-droae’e ao ty lova’ iareo.
They married within the families of the descendants of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their land allocation stayed within their father's tribe.
13 Irezay ro lily naho fepetse linili’ Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleo am-pità’ i Mosè a montom-bei’ i Moabe añ’ olo’ Iordaney tandrife Ierikò eo.
These are the orders and regulations that the Lord gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
