4 Mose 36
1 Gilead abusua no ntuanofo, Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima ne Yosef nena asefo, kɔɔ Mose ne Israel mmusua ntuanofo no nkyɛn de adesrɛde kɔtoo wɔn anim.
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 Wɔkae se, “Awurade hyɛɛ wo se bɔ ntonto na gyina so kyekyɛ asase no ma Israelfo no. Awurade ɔhyɛɛ wo se fa yɛn nuabarima Selofehad agyapade ma ne mmabea.
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 Na sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔn mu bi kɔware wɔ abusua foforo mu a, ɔde asase a wɔde ama no no bɛkɔ aware. Sɛ ɛba saa a, yɛn abusua no asase a wɔde ama yɛn no so bɛtew.
'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have been to one of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,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 Sɛ Israelfo Mfirihyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no du so a, wɔde wɔn agyapade no bɛka abusua a wɔkɔwaree wɔ mu no de ho, na wobeyi afi yɛn agyanom abusua agyapade mu.”
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the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.'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 Enti Mose de saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm a efi Awurade yi maa Israelfo no: “Yosef abusuakuw mu nnipa no asɛm no yɛ nokware.
And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, 'Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;
6 Nea Awurade rehyɛ ama Selofehad mmabea no ni: Wotumi ware ɔbarima biara a wɔpɛ a ofi wɔn agya abusuakuw mu.
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 Ɛnsɛ sɛ Israel agyapade biara fi abusuakuw bi mu kɔ abusuakuw foforo nsam, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ Israel agyanom abusuakuw biara agyapade tena hɔ sɛnea ɛte no.
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 Ɛsɛ sɛ mmabea a wɔwɔ Israel mmusuakuw mu nyinaa a agyapade tumi kɔ wɔn nsam no wareware wɔ wɔn agyanom mmusuakuw mu na Israel abusuakuw biara agyanom agyapade amfi wɔn abusuakuw mu.
'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 Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapade biara fi abusuakuw bi nsam kodi ɔfoforo nsam, ɛsɛ sɛ Israel Abusuakuw biara asase a wanya no tena hɔ.”
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 Selofehad mmabea no yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,
11 Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka ne Noa nyinaa wareware wɔn agyanom nuabarimanom mma.
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers' brethren for wives;
12 Wɔwarewaree wɔ Yosef babarima Manase mmusua mu enti wɔn agyapade no kaa wɔn abusuakuw no mu.
[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 Eyinom ne mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo wɔ Moab tataw so no, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan a na wɔafi Yeriko atwa no.
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.
