Numbers 36

1 And the chief fathers of the families 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 chief fathers 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 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an 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.

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 And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so it shall be taken 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 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance 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 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

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

6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

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 not the inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to 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 And every daughter, that possesseth 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 enjoy every man 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 Neither shall the inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to 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 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

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

11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and 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 And 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.

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 judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

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