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 heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near and speak before Moses and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons 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 say, “YHWH commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord has been commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to 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.
Now [if] they have been [given] to one from the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance has been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and it is withdrawn from the lot of our inheritance,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 if it is the Jubilee of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance has been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and their inheritance is withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”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 commands the sons of Israel by the command of YHWH, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is speaking correctly;
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 has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, let them be for wives to a family of the tribe of their fathers;
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.
and the inheritance of the sons of Israel does not turn around from tribe to tribe; for each of the sons of Israel cleaves 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 possessing an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel is for a wife to one from the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each possess 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.
and the inheritance does not turn around from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the sons of Israel cleaves to his inheritance.”
10 Selofhads døtre gjorde således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.
As YHWH has commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad have done,
11 Mahla, Tirsa og Hogla og Milka og Noa, Selofhads døtre, blev gift med sine farbrødres sønner;
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are for wives to the sons of their fathers’ brothers;
12 de blev gift med menn av Manasses, Josefs sønns ætter, så deres arv blev hos deres fedreneætts stamme.
they have been for wives [to men] from the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their inheritance is with 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 commands and the judgments which YHWH has commanded by the hand of Moses concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.
