1Zvino vakuru vedzimba dzama dzibaba vemhuri yavana vaGiriyadhi, mwanakomana waManase, vemhuri dzavana vaJosefa, vakaswedera, vakataura pamberi paMozisi, napamberi pamachinda, vaiva vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba avana vaIsiraeri,
1The 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:
2vakati, Jehovha akaraira tenzi wangu, kuti agovere nyika nemijenya pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, ive nhaka yavo; uyezve, tenzi wangu wakarairwa naJehovha kupa vanasikana vaZerofehadhi, munin'ina wedu, nhaka yake.
2and they said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3Zvino kana ivo vakawanikwa nomumwe wavanakomana vamarudzi mamwe avana vaIsiraeri, nhaka yavo ichafanira kubviswa panhaka yamadzibaba edu, ikawedzerwa panhaka yorudzi kwavanozondogara; saizvozvo ichabviswa panhaka yatakapiwa nemijenya.
3If they are 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.
4Zvino kana gore reJubheri ravana vaIsiraeri richisvika, nhaka yavo ichawedzerwa panhaka yorudzi kwavagere; naizvozvo nhaka yavo ichabviswa panhaka yorudzi rwamadzibaba edu.
4When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to 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.”
5Zvino Mozisi akaraira vana vaIsiraeri sezvakataura Jehovha, akati, Rudzi rwavana vaJosefa runotaura kwazvo.
5Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
6Ndiro shoko rakarairwa naJehovha pamusoro pavanasikana vaZerofehadhi: Ngavawanikwe navavanoda; asi ngavawanikwe naveimba yorudzi rwababa vavo.
6This is the thing which Yahweh does 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.
7Naizvozvo hapana nhaka yavana vaIsiraeri ingabva kuno rumwe rudzi ikaenda kuno rumwe; nekuti vana vaIsiraeri vanofanira, mumwe nomumwe, kunamatira nhaka yorudzi rwamadzibaba avo.
7So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8Mwanasikana mumwe nomumwe ane nhaka parudzi rupi norupi rwavana vaIsiraeri, ngaawanikwe nomumwe weimba yorudzi rwababa vake, kuti vana vaIsiraeri, mumwe nomumwe, vagare nhaka yamadzibaba avo.
8Every 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 possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9Naizvozvo hapana nhaka ingazobva kuno rumwe rudzi, ikaenda kuno rumwe rudzi, nekuti marudzi avana vaIsiraeri achanamatira, rumwe norumwe, nhaka yarwo.
9So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.”
10Vanasikana vaZerofehadhi vakaita sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.
10The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:
11Nekuti Mara, naTiriza, naHogira, naMirika, naNowa, ivo vanasikana vaZerofehadhi, vakawanikwa navanakomana vavanunguna vababa vavo.
11for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
12Vakawanikwa padzimba dzavana vaManase, mwanakomana waJosefa, nhaka ikagara parudzi rweimba yababa vavo.
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.
13Ndiyo mirairo nemitemo, yakarairwa vana vaIsiraeri naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi pamapani eMoabhu paJoridhani paJeriko.
13These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
