Numbers 36
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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 spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel;
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：
2and they said: 'The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
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。
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.
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。
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.'
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。」
5And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying: 'The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right.
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。
6This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded 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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
9So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave each one to its own inheritance.'
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。」
10Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.
10耶和華怎樣吩咐 摩西 ， 西羅非哈 的眾女兒就怎樣行。
11For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons.
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。
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.
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。
13These are the commandments and the ordinances, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
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。
