Numbers 36
1 Then the leaders of the families of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the stock of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke to Moses before the leaders of Israel, and they said:
Mwet nukewa su sifen sou ke sou lulap lun Gilead, wen natul Machir ac nutin natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, elos som nu yorol Moses ac mwet kol saya.
2 “The Lord has instructed you, our ruler, so that you would divide the land by lot to the sons of Israel, and so that you would give to the daughters of Zelophehad, our brother, the possession owed to their father.
Elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El sap kom in kitalik facl se inge nu sin mwet Israel ke fa. El oayapa sapkin nu sum in sang acn lun Zelophehad, mwet wiasr, nu sin acn natul.
3 But if men of another tribe receive them as wives, their possession will follow them, and having been transferred to another tribe, there will be a reduction in our inheritance.
Tusruktu, esam lah elos fin payukyak sin mukul in siena sruf, na acn lalos ac fah ma lac lun sruf sac, ac lupa nufon se ituku lasr inge ac srikeni.
4 And so it may be that, when the Jubilee of remission, that is, the fiftieth year, has arrived, the distribution by lots shall be confounded, and the possession of the one shall be transferred to others.”
Ke Yac in Folokyang — pacl se ma acn nukewa ma tuh kukakinyukla ac enenu in sifilpa utukeni nu yurin mwet ma la meet ah — na mwe usru lun acn natul Zelophehad ac tuh weang acn lun sruf ma elos payuk nu se nwe tok, na ac fah wanginla liki acn lasr uh.”
5 Moses answered the sons of Israel, and, at the instruction of the Lord, he said: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.
Ke ma inge Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Israel ma LEUM GOD El sapkin inge. El fahk, “Ma mwet in sruf lal Manasseh inge fahk uh pwaye.
6 And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,
Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk mu acn natul Zelophehad elos sukosok in payuk sin kutena mwet elos lungse, tusruktu inmasrlon na mwet in sruf lalos sifacna.
7 lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;
Acn sin mwet Israel nukewa ac fah karinginyuk tuh in oanna ke sruf lal.
8 and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,
Mutan nukewa ma oasr mwe usru lal ke sie sruf lun Israel, enenu na in payuk sin sie mukul in sruf sacn. In ouiya se inge kais sie mwet Israel fah usrui acn lun papa matu tumal.
9 and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.”
Na acn uh ac tia som liki sie sruf nu ke sie pacna sruf. Kais sie sruf ac fah sruokyana acn lal uh.”
10 And the daughters of Zelophehad acted according to what was ordered.
Acn natul Zelophehad elos oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
11 And Mahlah, and Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noa were wed to the sons of their paternal uncle,
Ouinge Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Noah, eltal payukyak sin wen nutin tamulel lun papa tumalos.
12 from the family of Manasseh, who was a son of Joseph. And the possession which had been distributed to them remained in the tribe and family of their father.
Elos payuk sin mwet in sruf lun fwilin tulik natul Manasseh wen natul Joseph, ac acn selos uh oanna in sruf lun papa tumalos.
13 These are the commandments and judgments which the Lord ordered by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
Pa inge ma sap ac ma oakwuk ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, su ma nu sin mwet Israel, in acn mwesis lun Moab sisken infacl Jordan tulanang acn Jericho.
