Numbers 36

1 The heads of the fathers’ households of the family 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 heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.

Mendekatlah kepala-kepala puak dari kaum bani Gilead bin Makhir bin Manasye, salah satu dari kaum-kaum keturunan Yusuf, dan berbicara di depan Musa dan pemimpin-pemimpin, kepala-kepala suku orang Israel,

2 They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

kata mereka: "TUHAN telah memerintahkan tuanku untuk memberikan tanah itu kepada orang Israel sebagai milik pusaka dengan membuang undi, dan oleh TUHAN telah diperintahkan kepada tuanku untuk memberikan milik pusaka Zelafehad, saudara kami, kepada anak-anaknya yang perempuan.

3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

Tetapi seandainya mereka kawin dengan salah seorang anak laki-laki dari suku lain di antara orang Israel, maka milik pusaka perempuan itu akan dikurangkan dari milik pusaka bapa-bapa kami dan akan ditambahkan kepada milik pusaka suku yang akan dimasukinya, jadi akan dikurangkan dari milik pusaka yang diundikan kepada kami.

4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

Maka apabila tiba tahun Yobel bagi orang Israel, milik pusaka perempuan itu akan ditambahkan kepada milik pusaka suku yang akan dimasukinya dan akan dikurangkan dari milik pusaka suku nenek moyang kami."

5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.

Lalu Musa memerintahkan kepada orang Israel sesuai dengan titah TUHAN: "Perkataan suku keturunan Yusuf itu benar.

6 This is the thing which Yahweh commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.

Inilah firman yang diperintahkan TUHAN mengenai anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad, bunyinya: Mereka boleh kawin dengan siapa saja yang suka kepada mereka, asal mereka kawin di lingkungan salah satu kaum dari suku ayah mereka.

7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Sebab milik pusaka orang Israel tidak boleh beralih dari suku ke suku, tetapi orang Israel haruslah masing-masing memegang milik pusaka suku nenek moyangnya.

8 Every daughter who possesses 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 each possess the inheritance of his fathers.

Jadi setiap anak perempuan di antara suku-suku orang Israel yang telah mewarisi milik pusaka, haruslah kawin dengan seorang dari salah satu kaum yang termasuk suku ayahnya, supaya setiap orang Israel mewarisi milik pusaka nenek moyangnya.

9 So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”

Sebab milik pusaka itu tidak boleh beralih dari suku ke suku, tetapi suku-suku orang Israel haruslah masing-masing memegang milik pusakanya sendiri."

10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:

Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa, demikianlah diperbuat anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad.

11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.

Maka Mahla, Tirza, Hogla, Milka dan Noa, anak-anak perempuan Zelafehad, kawin dengan anak-anak lelaki dari pihak saudara-saudara ayah mereka;

12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

mereka kawin dengan laki-laki dari kaum-kaum bani Manasye bin Yusuf, sehingga milik pusaka mereka tetap tinggal pada suku kaum ayahnya.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Itulah perintah dan peraturan yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada orang Israel dengan perantaraan Musa di dataran Moab di tepi sungai Yordan dekat Yerikho.
