Numbers, 36

1. Then the leaders of the families of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the stock of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke to Moses before the leaders of Israel, and they said:

1. Tada pristupe obiteljski glavari od roda sinova Gileada, sina Makirova, sina Manašeova, jednoga roda Josipovih sinova, te pred Mojsijem i starješinama, glavarima obitelji,

2. “The Lord has instructed you, our ruler, so that you would divide the land by lot to the sons of Israel, and so that you would give to the daughters of Zelophehad, our brother, the possession owed to their father.

2. reknu: "Jahve je naredio našemu gospodaru da kockom dade ovu zemlju u baštinu Izraelcima; nadalje, našem je gospodaru naredio Jahve da baštinu našega brata Selofhada dade njegovim kæerima.

3. But if men of another tribe receive them as wives, their possession will follow them, and having been transferred to another tribe, there will be a reduction in our inheritance.

3. Ali ako se one udaju za koga iz drugog izraelskoga plemena, onda æe njihova baština biti otrgnuta od naše djedovske baštine i biti prikljuèena baštini plemena kojemu one pripadnu. Tako æe se okrnjiti baština koja kockom pripadne nama.

4. And so it may be that, when the Jubilee of remission, that is, the fiftieth year, has arrived, the distribution by lots shall be confounded, and the possession of the one shall be transferred to others.”

4. A kada nastupi jubilej Izraelcima, baština æe se tih žena dodati baštini plemena kojemu pripadnu. Tako æe njihova baština biti oduzeta od baštine našega pradjedovskog plemena."

5. Moses answered the sons of Israel, and, at the instruction of the Lord, he said: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.

5. I po zapovijedi Jahvinoj Mojsije naredi Izraelcima: "Pleme Josipovih sinova pravo govori.

6. And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,

6. Ovo nareðuje Jahve za Selofhadove kæeri: Neka se one udaju za onoga koji im se uèini dobar, samo neka se udaju u rod svoga oèinskoga plemena.

7. lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;

7. Baština Izraelaca ne smije se prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo; i svaki Izraelac mora ostati privezan uz pradjedovsku baštinu svoga plemena.

8. and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,

8. Zato se svaka djevojka koja steèe baštinu u izraelskim plemenima mora udati za nekoga u plemenu kojemu pripada rod joj oèev, tako da bi svaki Izraelac saèuvao baštinu svoga oca.

9. and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.”

9. Tako se baština neæe prenositi iz jednoga plemena u drugo, nego æe svako izraelsko pleme prianjati uza svoju baštinu."

10. And the daughters of Zelophehad acted according to what was ordered.

10. Kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio, tako su i uèinile kæeri Selofhadove:

11. And Mahlah, and Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noa were wed to the sons of their paternal uncle,

11. Mahla, Tirsa, Hogla, Milka i Noa, kæeri Selofhadove, udaše se za sinove svojih strièeva.

12. from the family of Manasseh, who was a son of Joseph. And the possession which had been distributed to them remained in the tribe and family of their father.

12. Kako su se udale u rod potomstva Manašea, Josipova sina, njihova je baština ostala u plemenu kojemu pripadaše rod im oèev.

13. These are the commandments and judgments which the Lord ordered by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.

13. To su zapovijedi i zakoni koje je Jahve preko Mojsija izdao Izraelcima na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu.
