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:

¹And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near, and speak before Moses, and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,

²Ka 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.

²and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

³Na 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.

³`And — they have been to one of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,

⁴A, 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.

⁴and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.`

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.

⁵And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, `Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;

⁶Ko 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.

⁶this [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be for wives;

⁷A 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.

⁷and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.

⁸Me 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.

⁸`And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each the inheritance of his fathers,

⁹Kei 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.

⁹and the inheritance doth not turn round from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes of the sons of Israel.`

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

¹⁰As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,

¹¹Ka 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.

¹¹and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers` brethren for wives;

¹²I 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.

¹²[to men] of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.

¹³Ko 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.

¹³These [are] the commands and the judgments which Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
