Numbers 36

36 ¹Di family heads of Gilead im clan—di pikin dem of Machir wey be Manasseh pikin, from Joseph im clans—come near and talk before Moses and di leaders, di heads of Israel im family clans. ²Dem talk say, “Our Papa command my oga make e give di land as inheritance by lot to Israel im people, and our Papa command my oga make e give our brother Zelophehad im inheritance to im daughters. ³If dem marry men from oda Israelite tribes, dem inheritance go comot from our fathers dem inheritance and join dem new tribe own, and e go make di inheritance wey dem share give us small. ⁴Wen Israel im jubilee reach, dem inheritance go join di inheritance of di tribe wey dem marry enter, and dem go take am comot from our fathers dem tribe im inheritance.”

⁵So Moses command di Israelite people for our Papa im word, e say, “Wetin di tribe of Joseph talk correct.

⁶Na dis one our Papa command about Zelophehad im daughters: dem fit marry any person wey dem see say e good, but na inside dem father im tribal clan dem go marry.

⁷No Israelite inheritance fit pass from tribe to tribe; every Israelite must hold im ancestral tribe im inheritance. ⁸Every daughter wey inherit for one Israelite tribe must marry inside her father im tribal clan, so dat every Israelite go keep im ancestral inheritance. ⁹No inheritance fit pass from one tribe to anoda; every tribe of Israel must hold to im own inheritance.”

¹⁰Just as our Papa command Moses, na so di daughters of Zelophehad do. ¹¹Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, di daughters of Zelophehad, marry dem cousins for dem father im side. ¹²Dem marry enter di clans of Manasseh wey be Joseph im pikin im descendants, and dem inheritance stay for dem father im tribal clan.

¹³Na dis be di commands and di rulings wey our Papa command through Moses give Israel im people for di plains of Moab, for di Jordan near Jericho.
