Tauanga 36

1 Na ka whakatata nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o nga hapu o nga tama a Kireara tama a Makiri, tama a Manahi, no nga hapu o nga tama a Hohepa, ka korero ki te aroaro o Mohi, ki te aroaro ano o nga rangatira, o nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira:

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:

2 Ka mea, I whakahau a Ihowa i toku ariki kia hoatu te whenua hei kainga tupu mo nga tama a Iharaira, he mea rota: i whakahaua ano toku ariki e Ihowa kia hoatu te wahi o Teropehara, o to matou teina ki ana tamahine.

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.

3 Na ki te marenatia ratou ki etahi atu o nga tama o era iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, na ka titorehia to ratou wahi i te wahi o o matou matua, a ka tapiritia ki te wahi o te iwi e riro atu ai ratou, a ka titorehia i te wahi i meatia hei kainga tupu m o matou.

And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

4 A, i te takanga hoki o te tiupiri a nga tama a Iharaira, na ka tapiritia atu to ratou wahi ki te wahi o te iwi e riro atu ai ratou, a ka titorehia to ratou kainga i te kainga o te iwi o o matou matua.

And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will 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.

5 Na ka whakahau a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, he mea ki mai na Ihowa, a ka mea, He tika nga kupu a te iwi o nga tama a Hohepa.

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.

6 Ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakahau ai mo nga tamahine a Teropehara; e mea ana, Me marena ratou ki a ratou e pai ai; otiia me marena ki te hapu o te iwi o to ratou papa.

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.

7 A e kore e riro ke te kainga tupu o tetahi iwi i tetahi iwi atu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: ka whai hoki nga tama a Iharaira, tera, tera, ki te kainga o te iwi o o ratou matua.

So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 Me marena ano nga tamahine katoa, i a ratou nei tetahi kainga o tetahi o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ki tetahi o te hapu o te iwi o o ratou papa; kia mau ai te kainga tupu o ona matua i tenei, i tenei, o nga tama a Iharaira.

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.

9 Kei riro ke hoki te kainga tupu o tetahi iwi i tetahi atu iwi; engari me whai nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki o ratou kainga ake.

Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

10 Rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi, i pera ta nga tamahine a Teropehara:

Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

11 Ka riro hoki a Mahara, a Tirita, a Hokora, a Mirika, a Noa, nga tamahine a Teropehara, hei wahine ma nga tama a nga teina o to ratou papa.

For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons:

12 I marenatia hoki ki nga hapu o nga tama a Manahi, tama a Hohepa, a i mau to ratou kainga tupu ki te iwi o te hapu o to ratou papa.

[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.

13 Ko nga whakahau enei me nga whakaritenga a Ihowa i whakahaua e Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira i nga mania o Moapa i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko.

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.
