Numbers 36

1 The family leaders of the clan of Gilead of the tribe of Manasseh went to Moses/me and the other family leaders of the Israeli people.

Tada pristupe obiteljski glavari od roda sinova Gileada, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova, jednoga roda Josipovih sinova, te pred Mojsijem i starješinama, glavarima obitelji,

2 They said to Moses/me, “Yahweh commanded you, our leader, to apportion the land to the Israeli tribes by throwing (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide [which group would get which area]. Yahweh also commanded you to give the land that belonged to our fellow Israeli Zelophehad to his daughters.

reknu: “Jahve je naredio našemu gospodaru da kockom dade ovu zemlju u baštinu Izraelcima; nadalje, našem je gospodaru naredio Jahve da baštinu našega brata Selofhada dade njegovim kćerima.

3 But if his daughters marry men from the other Israeli tribes, that land will no longer belong to our tribe. People of other tribes will get it. So some of our land will no longer belong to us.

Ali ako se one udaju za koga iz drugog izraelskoga plemena, onda će njihova baština biti otrgnuta od naše djedovske baštine i biti priključena baštini plemena kojemu one pripadnu. Tako će se okrnjiti baština koja kockom pripadne nama.

4 When the Year of Celebration comes, [when all the land that has been bought by someone is returned to its original owners], the land that belonged to Zelophehad will belong to the tribes of the men that his daughters marry. So some of our land, the land that we received from our fathers, will be taken from us, [and we will never own it again].”

A kada nastupi jubilej Izraelcima, baština će se tih žena dodati baštini plemena kojemu pripadnu. Tako će njihova baština biti oduzeta od baštine našega pradjedovskog plemena.”

5 Yahweh told Moses/me what to reply to them, so Moses/I said this to them: “These men from the tribe of Manasseh are right.

I po zapovijedi Jahvinoj Mojsije naredi Izraelcima: “Pleme Josipovih sinova pravo govori.

6 This is what Yahweh is saying to the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Each of you may marry anyone you want to, but you must marry only someone from your own tribe.’

Ovo naređuje Jahve za Selofhadove kćeri: Neka se one udaju za onoga koji im se učini dobar, samo neka se udaju u rod svoga očinskoga plemena.

7 In that way, the land that belongs to Israelis will not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ancestors.

Baština Izraelaca ne smije se prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo; i svaki Izraelac mora ostati privezan uz pradjedovsku baštinu svoga plemena.

8 A woman who inherits her father’s land may get married, but she must marry someone from her own tribe. In that way, every Israeli will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.

Zato se svaka djevojka koja steče baštinu u izraelskim plemenima mora udati za nekoga u plemenu kojemu pripada rod joj očev, tako da bi svaki Izraelac sačuvao baštinu svoga oca.

9 The land must not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli tribe must keep the land that it received from its ancestors.”

Tako se baština neće prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo, nego će svako izraelsko pleme prianjati uza svoju baštinu.”

10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.

Kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio, tako su i učinile kćeri Selofhadove:

11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.

Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka i Noa, kćeri Selofhadove, udaše se za sinove svojih stričeva.

12 The men whom they married were from the tribe of Manasseh, so their land continued to belong to their father’s family and tribe.

Kako su se udale u rod potomstva Manašea, Josipova sina, njihova je baština ostala u plemenu kojemu pripadaše rod im očev.

13 Those were the commands [DOU] that Yahweh gave to Moses/me to tell to the Israelis, while they/we were on the plains of the Moab region, close to the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

To su zapovijedi i zakoni koje je Jahve preko Mojsija izdao Izraelcima na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu.
