Hesabu 36
1 Viongozi wa jamaa ya ukoo wa Gileadi mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase, waliokuwa wametoka katika koo za wazao wa Yosefu, walikuja na kuzungumza mbele ya Mose na viongozi, wakuu wa jamaa ya Waisraeli.
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 Wakasema, “Bwana alipomwamuru bwana wangu kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi kwa kura, alikuamuru kutoa urithi wa ndugu yetu Selofehadi kwa binti zake.
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 Sasa ikiwa wataolewa na watu wa makabila mengine ya Kiisraeli, itakuwa kwamba urithi wao utaondolewa kutoka urithi wa mababu zetu na kuongezwa katika urithi wa kabila ambalo dada hao wameolewa. Kwa hiyo sehemu ya urithi tuliyogawiwa itachukuliwa kutoka kwetu.
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 Wakati mwaka wa Yubile kwa Waisraeli utafika, urithi wao utaongezwa kwa lile kabila ambalo wameolewa, na mali yao itaondolewa kutoka urithi wa kabila la mababu zetu.”
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 Ndipo kwa agizo la Bwana Mose akatoa amri ifuatayo kwa Waisraeli: “Kile wazao wa kabila la Yosefu wanachosema ni kweli.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 Hivi ndivyo Bwana anavyoamuru kwa binti za Selofehadi: Wanaweza kuolewa na mtu yeyote wampendaye, mradi tu waolewe miongoni mwa koo za kabila za baba yao.
This [is] the thing which the LORD 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 Hakuna urithi katika Israeli utakaohamishwa kutoka kabila moja kwenda kabila jingine, kwa kuwa kila Mwisraeli atatunza ardhi ya kabila lake aliyoirithi kutoka kwa baba zake.
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 Kila binti atakayerithi ardhi katika kabila lolote la Israeli ni lazima aolewe na mtu kutoka kabila na ukoo wa baba yake, ili kila Mwisraeli amiliki urithi wa baba zake.
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 Hakuna urithi uwezao kuhamishwa kutoka kabila moja kwenda kabila jingine, kwa kuwa kila kabila la Israeli litatunza nchi linayorithi.”
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 Kwa hiyo binti za Selofehadi wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Binti za Selofehadi, ambao ni Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka na Noa, wakaolewa na waume, wana wa ndugu za baba yao.
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:
12 Waliolewa ndani ya koo za wazao wa Manase mwana wa Yosefu, na urithi wao ukabaki katika ukoo na kabila la baba yao.
[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 Haya ndiyo maagizo na masharti ambayo Bwana aliwapa Waisraeli kupitia Mose katika tambarare za Moabu, karibu na Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.
These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
