4 Mose 36
1 Afei, Gilead abusua no ntuanofoɔ, Makir a ɔyɛ Manase babarima ne Yosef nana asefoɔ kɔɔ Mose ne Israel ntuanofoɔ nkyɛn de adesrɛdeɛ kɔtoo wɔn anim.
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 spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 Wɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ bɔ ntonto kronkron na gyina so kyekyɛ asase no ma Israelfoɔ. Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ fa yɛn nuabarima Selofehad agyapadeɛ ma ne mmammaa.
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 to his daughters.
3 Na sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔn mu bi kɔware wɔ abusua foforɔ mu a, ɔde asase a wɔde ama no no bɛkɔ awadeɛ. Sɛ ɛba saa a, yɛn abusua no asase kɛseɛ so bɛte.
And if they shall 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 into which they are received: so it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Sɛ Mfirinhyia Aduonum Afahyɛ no duru so a, saa agyapadeɛ no bɛka hɔ ara. Na ɛbɛfiri abusuakuo a anka ɛwɔ no no nsam koraa.”
And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Enti Mose de saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɛfiri Awurade yi maa Israelfoɔ no: “Yosef abusuakuo mu nnipa no asɛm no yɛ nokorɛ.
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 Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm a ɛfa Selofehad mmammaa no ho no nie: wɔtumi ware ɔbarima biara a wɔpɛ a ɔfiri wɔn agya abusuakuo mu.
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 Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ biara firi abusuakuo bi nsam kɔ abusuakuo foforɔ nsam, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ abusuakuo biara agyapadeɛ tena hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ firi kane no.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel move 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 Mmammaa a wɔwɔ Israel mmusuakuo mu nyinaa a agyapadeɛ tumi kɔ wɔn nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwareware wɔ wɔn mmusuakuo mu na wɔn agyapadeɛ amfiri wɔn abusuakuo mu.
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to 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 Ɛnsɛ sɛ agyapadeɛ biara firi abusuakuo bi nsam kɔdi ɔfoforɔ nsam, ɛsɛ sɛ Israel abusuakuo biara bɔ nʼagyapadeɛ ho ban.”
Neither shall the inheritance move 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 Selofehad mmammaa no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka ne Noa nyinaa warewaree wɔn agyanom nuammarima mma.
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons:
12 Wɔwarewaree wɔ Yosef babarima Manase mmusua mu enti wɔn agyapadeɛ no kaa wɔn abusuakuo mu.
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 Yei ne mmara ne nhyehyɛeɛ a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfoɔ ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Moab tata so so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛne Yeriko di nhwɛanimu no ho.
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
