4 Mosebok 36
1 Husfederne åt Gileads-folket, som var ætta frå Makir, son åt Manasse, og høyrde til Josefs-ætterne, gjekk fram og tala so til Moses og styresmennerne, ættehovdingarne åt Israels-folket:
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 «Herren sagde, at du skulle byta landet i luter og lata Israels-sønerne draga strå um luterne, og han sagde at du skulde lata døtterne åt Selofhad, frenden vår, få eigedomen etter far sin.
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 vert no dei gifte med menner av dei andre Israels-ætterne, so gjeng eigedomen deira ifrå vår ætt, og jordi åt den ætti dei kjem inn i aukar, men vår ættarjord minkar.
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 kjem hjå Israels-folket, so vert eigedomen åt desse gjentorne lagd til den ætti som dei hev kome inn i, og teken ifrå vår ætt.»
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 Då tala Moses til Israels-sønerne, so som Herren hadde sagt honom fyre: «Det er rett som Josefs-sønerne segjer;
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 Høyr no kva Herrens vilje er med døtterne åt Selofhad: dei kann gifta seg med kven dei vil, men det lyt vera innan fedreætti deira.
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 For ingen eigedom må hjå Israels-folket ganga yver frå ei ætt til ei onnor. Alle Israels-sønerne skal halda på eigedomen åt fedreætti si.
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 kvar ei dotter som erver jord i eit av Israelsfylki, lyt gifta seg med ein frå same fylket, so kvar Israelsson kann erva odelsjordi etter federne sine,
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 ingen eigedom skal ganga yver frå ei ætt til ei onnor, men alle Israels-ætterne halda på eigedomen sin.»
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 Og døtterne åt Selofhad gjorde som Herren hadde sagt til Moses.
Even as Yhwh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Mahla og Tirsa og Hogla og Milka og Noa, alle døtterne åt Selofhad, gifte seg med frendar;
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:
12 med menner som var ætta frå Manasse, son åt Josef, gifte dei seg, so odelen deira kom til å fylgja den ætti dei høyrde til.
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 var dei bodi og loverne som Herren let Moses kunngjera for Israels-folket på Moabmoarne ved Jordanelvi der ho renn frammed 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.
