民数記 36

1 ヨセフの子等の族の中マナセの子マキルの子なるギレアデの子等の族の族長等進みよりてモーセの前とイスラエルの子孫の族長たる牧伯等の前に語り

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.

2 言けるはイスラエルの子孫にその產業の地を鬮によりて與ふることをヱホバわが主に命じたまへり吾主またわれらの兄弟ゼロペハデの產業をその女子等に與ふべしとヱホバに命ぜられたまふ

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.

3 彼らもしイスラエルの子孫の中他の支派の人々に嫁ぎなば彼らの產業はわれらの父祖の產業の中より除去れてその適る支派の產業に加はるべし斯是は我らの產業の分の中より除去れん

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.

4 而して彼らの產業はイスラエルの子孫のヨベルに至りてその適る支派の產業に加はるべし斯かれらの產業は我らの父祖の支派の產業の中より除去れん

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.”

5 モーセ、ヱホバの言にしたがひてイスラエルの子孫に命じて言ふヨセフの子等の支派の言ところは善し

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

6 ゼロペハデの女子等の事につきてヱホバの命じたまふところは是のごとし云く彼らはその心に適ふ者に嫁ぐべけれど惟その父祖の支派の家にのみ嫁ぐべし

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.

7 然せばイスラエルの子孫の產業この支派よりかの支派に移ることあらじイスラエルの子孫はみな各箇その父祖の支派の產業に止まるべきなり

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.

8 イスラエルの子孫の支派の中凡そ產業を有る女は皆おのれの父の支派の家に嫁ぐべし然せばイスラエルの子孫おのおのその父祖の產業を保つことを得ん

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.

9 產業をしてこの支派よりかの支派に移らしむべからずイスラエルの子孫の支派の者は皆おのおの自己の產業にとどまるべし

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.’”

10 是においてゼロペハデの女子等はヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如くせり

The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:

11 即ちゼロペハデの女子等マアラ、テルザ、ホグラ、ミルカおよびノアはその父の兄弟の子等に嫁げり

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

12 彼らはヨセフの子マナセの子等の家に嫁ぎたればその產業はその父の族の支派に止まれり

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.

13 是等はヱリコに對するヨルダンの邊なるモアテの平野においてヱホバがモーセによりてイスラエルの子孫に命じたまひし命令と律法なり

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.
