Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1約瑟 的後裔， 瑪拿西 的孫子， 瑪吉 的兒子 基列 ，他子孫中的諸族長來到 摩西 和作首領的 以色列 人族長面前，說：
1And the princes of the families of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, of the stock Of the children of Joseph, came and spoke to Moses before the princes of Israel, and said:
2「耶和華曾吩咐我主拈鬮分給 以色列 人為業，我主也受了耶和華的吩咐將我們兄弟 西羅非哈 的產業分給他的眾女兒。
2The Lord hath commanded thee, my lord, that thou shouldst divide the land by lot to the children of Israel, and that thou shouldst give to the daughters of Salphaad our brother the possession due to their father:
3她們若嫁 以色列 別 支派的人，就必將我們祖宗所遺留的產業加在她們丈夫支派的產業中。這樣，我們拈鬮所得的產業就要減少了。
3Now if men of another tribe take them to wives, their possession will follow them, and being transferred to another tribe, will be a diminishing of our inheritance.
4到了 以色列 人的禧年，這女兒的產業就必加在她們丈夫支派的產業上。這樣，我們祖宗支派的產業就減少了。」
4And so it shall come to pass, that when the jubilee, that is, the fiftieth year of remission, is come, the distribution made by the lots shall be confounded, and the possession of the one shall pass to the others.
5摩西 照耶和華的話吩咐 以色列 人說：「 約瑟 支派的人說得有理。
5Moses answered the children of Israel, and said by the command of the Lord: The tribe of the children of Joseph hath spoken rightly.
6論到 西羅非哈 的眾女兒，耶和華這樣吩咐說：她們可以隨意嫁人，只是要嫁同宗支派的人。
6And this is the law promulgated by the Lord touching the daughters of Salphaad: Let them marry to whom they will, only so that it be to men of their own tribe.
7這樣， 以色列 人的產業就不從這支派歸到那支派，因為 以色列 人要各守各祖宗支派的產業。
7Lest the possession of the children of Israel be mingled from tribe to tribe. For all men shall marry wives of their own tribe and kindred:
8凡在 以色列 支派中得了產業的女子必作同宗支派人的妻，好叫 以色列 人各自承受他祖宗的產業。
8And all women shall take husbands of the same tribe: that the inheritance may remain in the families,
9這樣，他們的產業就不從這支派歸到那支派，因為 以色列 支派的人要各守各的產業。」
9And that the tribes be not mingled one with another, but remain so
10耶和華怎樣吩咐 摩西 ， 西羅非哈 的眾女兒就怎樣行。
10As they were separated by the Lord. And the daughters of Salphaad did as was commanded:
11西羅非哈 的女兒 瑪拉 、 得撒 、 曷拉 、 密迦 、 挪阿 都嫁了他們伯叔的兒子。
11And Maala, and Thersa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Noa were married to the sons of their uncle by their father,
12她們嫁入 約瑟 兒子、 瑪拿西 子孫的族中；她們的產業仍留在同宗支派中。
12Of the family of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and the possession that had been allotted to them, remained in the tribe and family of their father.
13這是耶和華在 摩押 平原－ 約旦河 邊、 耶利哥 對面－藉着 摩西 所吩咐 以色列 人的命令典章。
13These are the commandments and judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan over against Jericho.
