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 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 Wakasema, “Bwana alipomwamuru bwana wangu kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi kwa kura, alikuamuru kutoa urithi wa ndugu yetu Selofehadi kwa binti zake.
and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to 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 — they have been to one of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,
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 if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.'
5 Ndipo kwa agizo la Bwana Mose akatoa amri ifuatayo kwa Waisraeli: “Kile wazao wa kabila la Yosefu wanachosema ni kweli.
And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, 'Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;
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 Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be for wives;
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.
and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.
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 possessing an inheritance, of the tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each 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.”
and the inheritance doth not turn round from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes of the sons of Israel.'
10 Kwa hiyo binti za Selofehadi wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,
11 Binti za Selofehadi, ambao ni Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka na Noa, wakaolewa na waume, wana wa ndugu za baba yao.
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers' brethren for wives;
12 Waliolewa ndani ya koo za wazao wa Manase mwana wa Yosefu, na urithi wao ukabaki katika ukoo na kabila la baba yao.
[to men] of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with 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 commands and the judgments which Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
