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.

Atsogoleri a mabanja a fuko la Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase omwe anali ochokera ku fuko la ana a Yosefe anabwera ndi kuyankhula ndi Mose, atsogoleri ndi akuluakulu a mabanja a Aisraeli.

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

Iwo anati, “Pamene Yehova analamula mbuye wanga kuti apereke dziko ngati cholowa kwa Aisraeli mwa maere, anakulamulani inu kupereka cholowa cha mʼbale wathu Zelofehadi kwa ana ake aakazi.

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.

Tsopano ngati akwatiwa ndi aamuna ochokera ku mafuko ena a mitundu ya Aisraeli, cholowa chawo chidzatengedwa kuchoka pa cholowa cha makolo athu ndipo adzachiwonjezera ku fuko limene akwatiwakolo. Ndipo gawo lina la cholowacho, lopatsidwa kwa ife lidzatengedwa.

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.”

Pamene chaka cha chikondwerero cha zaka makumi asanu, cha Aisraeli chafika, cholowa chawo chidzawonjezeredwa ku fuko limene iwo akwatiwako. Ndipo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa cholowa cha fuko la makolo athu.”

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

Tsono mwa lamulo la Yehova, Mose anapereka lamulo ili kwa Aisraeli: “Zimene ana a Yosefe akunena ndi zoona.

6 This is the thing which the LORD 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.

Izi ndi zimene Yehova akulamula kwa ana aakazi a Zelofehadi: Atha kukwatiwa ndi aliyense amene angakondweretsedwe naye koma zingakhale bwino atakwatiwa mʼfuko la abambo awo

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.

kuti cholowa cha Israeli chisapite ku fuko lina, pakuti Mwisraeli aliyense ayenera kusunga cholowa cha fuko la makolo ake.

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.

Mwana wamkazi aliyense amene adzalandira cholowa cha dziko la fuko lililonse la Israeli ayenera kukwatiwa ndi munthu wa fuko la abambo ake.

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.’”

Cholowa chilichonse mu Israeli sichiyenera kupita ku fuko lina, popeza fuko lililonse la Israeli liyenera kusunga cholowa chimene linalandira.”

10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:

Choncho ana aakazi a Zelofehadi anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.

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

Ana aakazi a Zelofehadi amene ndi Mahila, Tiriza, Hogila, Milika ndi Nowa, anakwatiwa ndi asuweni awo a ku mbali ya abambo awo.

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.

Anakwatiwa mʼmafuko a zidzukulu za Manase mwana wa Yosefe, ndipo cholowa chawo chinakhalabe mʼfuko la abambo awo.

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

Awa ndi malamulo ndi malangizo amene Yehova anapereka kwa Aisraeli kupyolera mwa Mose ku chigwa cha Mowabu mʼmbali mwa Yorodani, ku Yeriko.
