36 Iinhloko zemindeni yeenzukulwana zakaGiliyadi indodana kaMakiri+ indodana kaManase wemindeni yamadodana kaJosefa zatjhidela zakhuluma phambi kwakaMosi, amakhosana, iinhloko zemindeni yama-Israyeli.
2 Zathi: “UJehova uyale ikosethu ukuthi ihlukanise inarha ngefumbe+ bona ibe lilifa kuma-Israyeli. UJehova uyale ikosethu bona ithathe ilifa lakamfowethu uTselofirhadi linikelwe amadodakazakhe.+
3 Nange atjhada namadoda wakwenye ikoro yama-Israyeli, ilifa labafazabo lizokuthathwa elifeni labobaba lingezelelwe ekorweni abazokwendela kiyo, okutjho bona lizokususwa elifeni lethu esilifumene ngefumbe.
4 Nakufika umnyaka weJubili+ wabantu bakwa-Israyeli, ilifa labafazelo lizokungezelelwa elifeni lekoro abazokwendela kiyo, lokho kutjho bona ilifa labo lizokuthathwa elifeni lekoro yabobaba.”
5 Nje-ke uMosi wayala ama-Israyeli ngesinqophiso sakaJehova, wathi: “Lokho okutjhiwo yikoro yamadodana kaJosefa kuliqiniso.
6 Lokhu ngilokho uJehova akutjhoko malungana namadodakazi kaTselofirhadi: ‘Angatjhada nananyana ngubani afuna ukutjhada naye. Kodwana kufuze atjhade nomuntu wekoro kayise.
7 Akunalifa lama-Israyeli okufuze lisuke kwenye ikoro liye kwenye, ama-Israyeli kufuze abambelele elifeni lekoro yabokhokho bawo.
8 Indodakazi enye nenye enelifa eenkorweni zama-Israyeli kufuze itjhade nesizukulwana esisekorweni kayise+ bona ama-Israyeli ahlale anelifa labokhokho bawo.
9 Akunalifa okufuze lisuke kwenye ikoro liye kwenye, iinkoro zama-Israyeli kufuze zibambelele elifeni lazo.’”
10 Amadodakazi kaTselofirhadi enza njengombana uJehova ayale uMosi.+
11 Amadodakazi kaTselofirhadi, uMarhila, uTiritsa, uRhogila, uMilika noNowa+ atjhada namadodana wabafowabo bakayise.
12 Aba bafazi bamadoda avela emndenini kaManase indodana kaJosefa khona ilifa lawo lizokuhlala ekorweni kayise.
13 Le miyalo nemithetho uJehova ayinikela ama-Israyeli ngoMosi emmangweni othabaleleko wakwaMowabi hlanu kweJordani eJerikho.+
