Bilang 36
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Babaeng Anak ni Zelofehad na Nakatanggap ng Lupain
36 Pumunta kay Moises at sa mga pinuno ng Israel ang pamilya ni Gilead na anak ni Makir at apo ni Manase, na anak ni Jose, 2 at sinabi, “Ginoo, nang nag-utos sa inyo ang Panginoon na hatiin ang lupa bilang mana ng mga Israelita sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan; nag-utos din siya na ibigay ang bahagi ng aming kapatid na si Zelofehad sa mga anak niyang babae. 3 Pero halimbawang nag-asawa po sila galing sa ibang lahi at dahil ditoʼy napunta ang kanilang lupain sa lahi ng kanilang napangasawa, hindi baʼt mapupunta na ang bahagi ng aming lahi sa iba? 4 Pagsapit ng Taon ng Pagpapalaya at Pagsasauli, ang kanilang lupa ay mapupunta sa lahi kung saan sila nakapag-asawa, at mawawala na ito sa lahi ng aming mga ninuno.”
5 Kaya ayon sa utos ng Panginoon, sinabi ni Moises sa mga Israelita, “Tama ang sinabi ng angkan ng mga salinlahi ni Jose. 6 Kaya ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon tungkol sa mga anak na babae ni Zelofehad: Malaya silang makakapag-asawa sa kung sinong kanilang magugustuhan basta manggagaling lang sa lahi nila. 7 Ang lupang mamanahin ng bawat lahi ay hindi maaaring mapunta sa ibang lahi dahil kailangang manatili sa bawat lahi ang lupa na kanilang namana sa kanilang mga ninuno. 8 Ang lahat ng babaeng nakamana ng lupa sa kahit saang lahi ay kailangang mag-asawa ng mula sa kanilang lahi para hindi mawala sa bawat Israelita ang lupang namana niya sa kanyang mga ninuno. 9 Ang lupang namana ng bawat lahi ay hindi maaaring mapunta sa ibang lahi, dahil kailangang manatili sa bawat lahi ang lupa na kanilang namana.”
10 Kaya sinunod ng mga anak na babae ni Zelofehad ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Moises. 11 Ang mga anak na babae ni Zelofehad ay sina Mahlah, Tirza, Hogla, Milca, at Noe. At ang kanilang napangasawa ay ang kanilang mga pinsan sa ama, 12 na mga lahi ni Manase na anak ni Jose. Kaya ang lupain na kanilang namana ay nanatili sa sambahayan at angkan ng kanilang ama.
13 Ganito ang mga utos at tuntunin na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa mga Israelita sa pamamagitan ni Moises habang naroon sila sa kapatagan ng Moab sa tabi ng Jordan malapit sa Jerico.
Numbers 36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 36
Inheritance of Daughters. 1 The heads of the ancestral houses in a clan of the descendants of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh—one of the Josephite clans—came up and spoke before Moses and Eleazar the priest and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestral houses of the Israelites. 2 They said: “The Lord commanded my lord to apportion the land by lot for a heritage among the Israelites;(A) and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad our kinsman to his daughters. 3 But if they marry into one of the other Israelite tribes, their heritage will be withdrawn from our ancestral heritage and will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry; thus the heritage that fell to us by lot will be diminished. 4 When the Israelites celebrate the jubilee year,[a] the heritage of these women will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry and their heritage will be withdrawn from that of our ancestral tribe.”
5 [b]So Moses commanded the Israelites at the direction of the Lord: “The tribe of the Josephites are right in what they say. 6 This is what the Lord commands with regard to the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry into a clan of their ancestral tribe, 7 so that no heritage of the Israelites will pass from one tribe to another, but all the Israelites will retain their own ancestral heritage. 8 Every daughter who inherits property in any of the Israelite tribes will marry someone belonging to a clan of her own ancestral tribe, in order that all the Israelites may remain in possession of their own ancestral heritage. 9 Thus, no heritage will pass from one tribe to another, but all the Israelite tribes will retain their own ancestral heritage.”
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did exactly as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, Zelophehad’s daughters, married sons of their uncles on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh, son of Joseph; hence their heritage remained in the tribe of their father’s clan.
Conclusion. 13 These are the commandments and decisions which the Lord commanded the Israelites through Moses, on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
