1 C hegaram-se então os cabeças das casas paternas da família dos filhos de Gileade, filho de Maquir, filho de Manassés, das famílias dos filhos de José, e falaram diante de Moisés, e diante dos príncipes, cabeças das casas paternas dos filhos de Israel,

The 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.

2 e disseram: O Senhor mandou a meu senhor que por sortes repartisse a terra em herança aos filhos de Israel; e meu senhor recebeu ordem do senhor de dar a herança do nosso irmão Zelofeade

They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3 E , se elas se casarem com os filhos das outras tribos de Israel, então a sua herança será diminuída da herança de nossos pais, e acrescentada ã herança da tribo a que vierem a pertencer; assim será tirada da sorte da nossa herança.

If 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 to which they shall belong. So will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

4 V indo também o ano do jubileu dos filhos de Israel, a herança delas será acrescentada ã herança da tribo a que pertencerem; assim a sua herança será tirada da herança da tribo de nossos pais.

When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

5 E ntão Moisés falou aos filhos de Israel, segundo a palavra do senhor, dizendo: A tribo dos filhos de José fala o que é justo.

Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.

6 I sto é o que o senhor ordenou acerca das filhas de Zelofeade, dizendo: Casem com quem bem parecer aos seus olhos, contanto que se casem na família da tribo de seu pai.

This is the thing which Yahweh does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best; only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.

7 A ssim a herança dos filhos de Israel não passará de tribo em tribo, pois os filhos de Israel se apegarão cada um a herança da tribo de seus pais.

So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 E toda filha que possuir herança em qualquer tribo dos filhos de Israel se casará com alguém da família da tribo de seu pai, para que os filhos de Israel possuam cada um a herança de seus pais.

Every 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 each possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 A ssim nenhuma herança passará de uma tribo a outra, pois as tribos dos filhos de Israel se apegarão cada uma ã sua herança.

So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”

10 C omo o Senhor ordenara a Moisés, assim fizeram as filhas de Zelofeade;

The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:

11 p ois Macla, Tirza, Hogla, Milca e Noa, filhas de Zelofeade, se casaram com os filhos de seus tios paternos.

for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.

12 C asaram-se nas famílias dos filhos de Manassés, filho de José; assim a sua herança permaneceu na tribo da família de seu pai.

They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

13 S ão esses os mandamentos e os preceitos que o Senhor ordenou aos filhos de Israel por intermédio de Moisés nas planícies de Moabe, junto ao Jordão, na altura de Jericó.

These 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.
