Numbers 36
1 The heads of the ancestral houses of the family of the people of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders, the heads of the ancestral houses of the children of Israel.
Husfederne åt Gileads-folket, som var ætta frå Makir, son åt Manasse, og høyrde til Josefs-ætterne, gjekk fram og tala so til Moses og styresmennerne, ættehovdingarne åt Israels-folket:
2 And they said, "The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for 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.
«Herren sagde, at du skulle byta landet i luter og lata Israels-sønerne draga strå um luterne, og han sagde at du skulde lata døtterne åt Selofhad, frenden vår, få eigedomen etter far sin.
3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
Men vert no dei gifte med menner av dei andre Israels-ætterne, so gjeng eigedomen deira ifrå vår ætt, og jordi åt den ætti dei kjem inn i aukar, men vår ættarjord minkar.
4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."
Og når jubelåret kjem hjå Israels-folket, so vert eigedomen åt desse gjentorne lagd til den ætti som dei hev kome inn i, og teken ifrå vår ætt.»
5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, "The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
Då tala Moses til Israels-sønerne, so som Herren hadde sagt honom fyre: «Det er rett som Josefs-sønerne segjer;
6 This is the thing which the LORD does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.
Høyr no kva Herrens vilje er med døtterne åt Selofhad: dei kann gifta seg med kven dei vil, men det lyt vera innan fedreætti deira.
7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
For ingen eigedom må hjå Israels-folket ganga yver frå ei ætt til ei onnor. Alle Israels-sønerne skal halda på eigedomen åt fedreætti si.
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 possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Og kvar ei dotter som erver jord i eit av Israelsfylki, lyt gifta seg med ein frå same fylket, so kvar Israelsson kann erva odelsjordi etter federne sine,
9 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance."
og ingen eigedom skal ganga yver frå ei ætt til ei onnor, men alle Israels-ætterne halda på eigedomen sin.»
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:
Og døtterne åt Selofhad gjorde som Herren hadde sagt til Moses.
11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.
Mahla og Tirsa og Hogla og Milka og Noa, alle døtterne åt Selofhad, gifte seg med frendar;
12 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.
med menner som var ætta frå Manasse, son åt Josef, gifte dei seg, so odelen deira kom til å fylgja den ætti dei høyrde til.
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.
Dette var dei bodi og loverne som Herren let Moses kunngjera for Israels-folket på Moabmoarne ved Jordanelvi der ho renn frammed Jeriko.
