4 Mosebok 36
1 Overhodene for familiene i den ætt som nedstammet fra Gilead, en sønn av Manasses sønn Makir, og hørte til Josefs barns ætter, gikk frem for Moses og for de høvdinger som var overhoder for Israels barns familier,
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 og de sa: Herren har befalt min herre å gi Israels barn landet til arv ved loddkasting, og min herre har fått befaling av Herren om å gi vår bror Selofhads arv til hans døtre.
And they said, Yhwh commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Yhwh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 Men blir nu de gift med menn av Israels barns andre stammer, så går deres arv fra våre fedres arv og legges til den stammes arv som de kommer til å tilhøre, og således blir vår arvelodd mindre.
And 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 put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Og når jubelåret kommer for Israels barn, så blir deres arv lagt til den stammes arv som de kommer til å tilhøre, og deres arv går fra vår fedrenestammes arv.
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Da bød Moses Israels barn efter Herrens ord og sa: Josefs barns stamme har rett i det de sier.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yhwh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 Således byder Herren om Selofhads døtre: De kan gifte sig med hvem de vil, bare de gifter sig innen sin fedrenestammes ætt,
This is the thing which Yhwh doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7 forat ikke nogen arv hos Israels barn skal gå over fra en stamme til en annen - Israels barn skal holde fast hver ved sin fedrenestammes arv.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Og enhver datter i Israels barns stammer som får arv, skal gifte sig med en mann av sin fedrenestammes ætt, forat Israels barn kan arve hver sine fedres arv,
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 og forat ingen arv skal gå over fra en stamme til en annen, men Israels barns stammer holde fast hver ved sin arv.
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Selofhads døtre gjorde således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.
Even as Yhwh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Mahla, Tirsa og Hogla og Milka og Noa, Selofhads døtre, blev gift med sine farbrødres sønner;
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:
12 de blev gift med menn av Manasses, Josefs sønns ætter, så deres arv blev hos deres fedreneætts stamme.
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Dette er de bud og lover som Herren gav Israels barn ved Moses på Moabs ødemarker ved Jordan, midt imot Jeriko.
These are the commandments and the judgments, which Yhwh commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
