Numbers 36:1-13

The Property Zelophehad’s Daughters Will Receive

1The heads of the families of Gilead came to Moses. Gilead was the son of Makir. The family heads were from the tribe of Manasseh. So they were in the family line of Joseph. They spoke to Moses in front of the leaders of the families of Israel. 2They said, “The Lord commanded you to give shares of the land to the Israelites. He told you to cast lots when you do it. At that time the Lord ordered you to give our brother Zelophehad’s share to his daughters. 3Suppose they marry men from other tribes in Israel. Then their share will be taken away from our family’s land. It will be added to the land of the tribe they marry into. So a part of the share given to us will be taken away. 4The Year of Jubilee for the Israelites will come. Then their share will be added to the land of the tribe they marry into. Their land will be taken away from the share given to our tribe.”

5Then the Lord gave a command to Moses. He told Moses to give an order to the Israelites. Moses said, “What the tribe in the family line of Joseph is saying is right. 6Here is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters. They can marry anyone they want to. But they have to marry someone in their own family’s tribe. 7Property in Israel must not pass from one tribe to another. Everyone in Israel must keep their family’s share of their tribe’s land. 8Suppose a daughter in any tribe of Israel receives land from her parents. Then she must marry someone in her father’s family and tribe. In that way, every family’s share will remain in its family line in Israel. 9Property can’t pass from one tribe to another. Each tribe of Israel must keep the land it receives.”

10So Zelophehad’s daughters did just as the Lord commanded Moses. 11The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah. All of them married their cousins on their father’s side. 12They married men in the family line of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. So the land they received remained in their father’s family and tribe.

13These are the commands and rules the Lord gave through Moses. He gave them to the Israelites on the plains of Moab. They were by the Jordan River across from Jericho.

Igai rĩa Airĩtu a Zelofehadi

1Atongoria a nyũmba cia mbarĩ ya Gileadi mũrũ wa Makiru, mũrũ wa Manase, arĩa maarĩ a mbarĩ cia njiaro cia Jusufu, nĩmathiire na makĩaria marĩ mbere ya Musa na atongoria arĩa matongoragia nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli. 2Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa Jehova aathire mwathi wakwa aheane bũrũri ũtuĩke igai rĩa andũ a Isiraeli na ũndũ wa gũcuukĩra mĩtĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩagwathire ũheane igai rĩa mũrũ wa ithe witũ Zelofehadi kũrĩ airĩtu ake. 3Na rĩrĩ, mangĩkaahikio nĩ andũ a mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩngĩ ya andũ a Isiraeli, hĩndĩ ĩyo igai rĩao nĩrĩkeherio igai-inĩ rĩa maithe maitũ rĩonganĩrĩrio na igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa makaahikĩra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gĩcunjĩ kĩa igai rĩrĩa twagaĩirwo nĩrĩkeherio. 436:4 Alaw 25:10Rĩrĩa mwaka wa Jubilii wa andũ a Isiraeli ũgaakinya-rĩ, igai rĩao nĩrĩkonganĩrĩrio na igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa makaahikĩra, narĩo igai rĩao rĩeherio kuuma kũrĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa maithe maitũ.”

5Nake Musa, kũringana na watho wa Jehova, agĩatha andũ a Isiraeli, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũguo mũhĩrĩga wa njiaro cia Jusufu ũroiga nĩ ũndũ wa kĩhooto. 6Ũũ nĩguo Jehova athanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa airĩtu a Zelofehadi: No mahikĩre mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa mangĩĩendera, angĩkorwo mekũhika thĩinĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa ithe wao. 736:7 Alaw 25:23Gũtirĩ igai thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli rĩkoima mũhĩrĩga ũmwe rĩtuĩke rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo Mũisiraeli o wothe nĩagatũũria gĩthaka kĩa mũhĩrĩga kĩrĩa maagaire kuuma kũrĩ maithe mao ma tene. 836:8 1Maũ 23:22Mũirĩtu o wothe ũkaagaya gĩthaka mũhĩrĩga-inĩ o wothe wa Isiraeli, no nginya ahikĩre mũndũ wa nyũmba ya mũhĩrĩga wa ithe, nĩgeetha Mũisiraeli o wothe atũũre enyiitĩire igai rĩa maithe. 9Gũtirĩ igai rĩkoima mũhĩrĩga ũmwe rĩtuĩke rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo o mũhĩrĩga wa andũ a Isiraeli ũrĩtũũragia gĩthaka kĩrĩa ũgaĩte.”

10Nĩ ũndũ ũcio airĩtu acio a Zelofehadi magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa. 1136:11 Ndar 26:33Airĩtu a Zelofehadi, nĩo Mahala, na Tiriza, na Hogila, na Milika, na Noa, maahikirio nĩ ariũ a mũrũ wa nyina na ithe wao. 1236:12 1Maũ 7:15Maahikire thĩinĩ wa mbarĩ cia njiaro cia Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu, narĩo igai rĩao rĩgĩikara mbarĩ-inĩ na mũhĩrĩga-inĩ wa ithe wao.

1336:13 Alaw 7:38; Ndar 22:1Macio nĩmo mawatho na matuĩro ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo marĩa Jehova aathire Musa eere andũ a Isiraeli marĩ kũu werũ wa Moabi hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jeriko.
