¹وتقدم رؤوس الآباء من عشيرة بني جلعاد بن ماكير بن منسّى من عشائر بني يوسف وتكلموا قدام موسى وقدام الرؤساء رؤوس الآباء من بني اسرائيل

¹And the heads of the fathers' [houses] 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 spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel:

²وقالوا. قد أمر الرب سيدي ان يعطي الارض بقسمة بالقرعة لبني اسرائيل. وقد أمر سيدي من الرب ان يعطي نصيب صلفحاد اخينا لبناته.

²and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

³فان صرن نساء لاحد من بني اسباط بني اسرائيل يؤخذ نصيبهنّ من نصيب آبائنا ويضاف الى نصيب السبط الذي صرن له. فمن قرعة نصيبنا يؤخذ.

³And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

⁴ومتى كان اليوبيل لبني اسرائيل يضاف نصيبهنّ الى نصيب السبط الذي صرن له ومن نصيب سبط آبائنا يؤخذ نصيبهنّ

⁴And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

⁵فامر موسى بني اسرائيل حسب قول الرب قائلا. بحق تكلم سبط بني يوسف.

⁵And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right.

⁶هذا ما امر به الرب عن بنات صلفحاد قائلا. من حسن في اعينهنّ يكنّ له نساء ولكن لعشيرة سبط آبائهنّ يكنّ نساء.

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

⁷فلا يتحول نصيب لبني اسرائيل من سبط الى سبط بل يلازم بنو اسرائيل كل واحد نصيب سبط آبائه.

⁷So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

⁸وكل بنت ورثت نصيبا من اسباط بني اسرائيل تكون امرأة لواحد من عشيرة سبط ابيها لكي يرث بنو اسرائيل كل واحد نصيب آبائه.

⁸And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.

⁹فلا يتحول نصيب من سبط الى سبط آخر بل يلازم اسباط بني اسرائيل كل واحد نصيبه

⁹So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one to his own inheritance.

¹⁰كما أمر الرب موسى كذلك فعلت بنات صلفحاد.

¹⁰Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

¹¹فصارت محلة وترصة وحجلة وملكة ونوعة بنات صلفحاد نساء لبني اعمامهنّ.

¹¹for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons.

¹²صرن نساء من عشائر بني منسّى بن يوسف فبقي نصيبهنّ في سبط عشيرة ابيهنّ

¹²They 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.

¹³هذه هي الوصايا والاحكام التي اوصى بها الرب الى بني اسرائيل عن يد موسى في عربات موآب على اردن اريحا

¹³These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded by Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
