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,
Then came near the heads of fathers, belonging to the family of the sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, out of the families of the sons of Joseph, —and spake before Moses, and before the princes, heads of fathers belonging to 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 they said—Unto my lord, did Yahweh give command, to bestow the land as an inheritance, by lot, unto the sons of Israel, —my lord, therefore, was commanded by Yahweh, 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.
When, therefore, unto any one from among the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, they become wives their inheritance shall disappear out of the inheritance of our fathers, and be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received, —and so out of the lot of our inheritance, shall it disappear,
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 jubilee shall come to the sons of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received—and, out of the, inheritance of the tribe of our fathers, shall their inheritance disappear.
5 Da bød Moses Israels barn efter Herrens ord og sa: Josefs barns stamme har rett i det de sier.
Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel, at the bidding of Yahweh saying, —A right thing, are, the tribe of the sons of Joseph, speaking,
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 Yahweh hath commanded, as to the daughters of Zelophehad saying: Unto whomsoever it may be good in their eyes, let them become wives, —save only unto the family of the tribe of their father, let them become wives.
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 no inheritance belonging to the sons of Israel go round from tribe to tribe, —for the sons of Israel shall, each one, cleave, unto 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 all inheritance from among the tribes of the sons of Israel, unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, shall become wife, —to the intent that the sons of Israel may possess each one 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 no inheritance go round from one tribe to another tribe, —for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cleave, each one unto his own inheritance.
10 Selofhads døtre gjorde således som Herren hadde befalt Moses.
As Yahweh 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;
Thus then did Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milchah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, become wives, unto the sons of their father’s brethren.
12 de blev gift med menn av Manasses, Josefs sønns ætter, så deres arv blev hos deres fedreneætts stamme.
Unto men from among the families of the son of Manasseh son of Joseph, became they wives, —and so their inheritance remained 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 commandments and the regulations which Yahweh gave in charge, by the hand of Moses, unto the sons of Israel, —in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho.
