Lampahnah 27
1 Joseph capa Manasseh koca kah, Manasseh capa Makir kah a ca Gilead capa patoeng Hepher capa Zelophehad canu rhoek te kun uh. A canu rhoek ming he Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah neh Tirzah.
Then there approached the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Mahlah, and Noa, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 Amih te Moses mikhmuh neh khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah, tingtunnah dap thohka kah khoboei rhoek neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah pai uh tih,
And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people, at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and they said:
3 “A pa he khosoek ah duek tih amah he BOEIPA aka tuentah kah hlangboel lakli neh Korah kah hlangboel khuiah khaw a om moenih. Amah kah tholhnah dongah duek tih a taengah ca tongpa om pawh.
“Our father died in the desert, and was not with the sedition, which was stirred up against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; he had no male sons. Why is his name taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.”
4 Balae tih a cako khui lamloh a pa ming a hma eh? A taengah ca tongpa a om pawt neh a pa kah manuca lakli ah kaimih he khohut m'pae van,” a ti uh.
And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.
5 Te dongah Moses loh amih kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh la a khuen.
And the Lord said to him:
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
“The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7 “Zelophehad canu rhoek kah a thui te thuem, amih te a napa kah pacaboeina lakli ah rho la khohut te pae rhoela pae. A napa rho te amih taengah mael.
And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:
8 Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Hlang he duek tih a taengah ca tongpa a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a canu taengah mael.
When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.
9 Anih te canu a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a manuca taengah pae.
If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.
10 Anih te manuca a om pawt bal atah anih kah rho te a napa kah a manuca taengah pae.
But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.
11 A napa te a manuca a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a cako khuiah anih neh aka yoei a thii a saa taengah pae lamtah pang saeh. BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla Israel ca rhoek ham laitloeknah khosing la om saeh,” a ti nah.
But if he has no paternal uncles, the inheritance shall be given to those who are closest to him. And this shall be, for the sons of Israel, consecrated as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed Moses.”
12 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Abarim tlang ah he yoeng lamtah Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen te so lah.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Ascend onto this mountain, Abarim, and contemplate from there the land, which I will give to the sons of Israel.
13 Te te na hmuh van phoeiah tah na maya Aaron a khoem uh bangla nang khaw na pilnam taengla na khoem uh ni.
And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.
14 Rhaengpuei kah tohhaemnah dongah Zin khosoek ah ol na koek dongah. Zin khosoek, Kadesh Meribah tui kung, amih mikhmuh kah tui taengah kai he nan ciim ham om ta a ti nah.
For you offended me in the desert of Sin at the Contradiction of the multitude; neither were you willing to sanctify me in their sight over the waters. These are the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh in the desert of Sin.”
15 Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA te a thui pah tih,
Moses answered him:
16 “Pumsa boeih kah Mueihla Pathen BOEIPA loh rhaengpuei soah hlang pakhat khueh saeh.
“May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,
17 Anih te amih mikhmuh ah vuenva vetih amih mikhmuh ah kunael bitni. Te vaengah amih a khuen vetih amih te a pawk puei bitni. Te dongah amih, BOEIPA kah hlangboel he a dawn pawh boiva bangla om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
and who may be able to exit and enter before them, and who may lead them out or lead them in: lest the people of the Lord be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Nun capa Joshua te namah taengla lo. Tekah hlang tah a soah mueihla a om dongah anih te na kut tloeng thil.
And the Lord said to him: “Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is, and place your hand upon him.
19 Anih te khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah pai sak lamtah amah te amih mikhmuh ah rhep uen.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.
20 Na mueithennah te anih taengah na pak daengah ni Israel ca rhoek rhaengpuei boeih loh a ngai uh eh.
And you shall give him the precepts in the sight of all, and a portion of your glory, so that the entire congregation of the sons of Israel may listen to him.
21 Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah pai saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Urim kah laitloeknah bangla anih te dawt saeh. Amah taengkah Israel ca boeih neh rhaengpuei boeih taengah khaw a ol bangla vuenva uh saeh lamtah anih ol bangla kunael uh saeh,” a ti nah.
On his behalf, if anything is to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord. He, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude, shall go out and enter in at his word.”
22 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh a saii. Te dongah Joshua te a khuen tih khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah anih te a pai sak.
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And when he had brought Joshua, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the entire gathering of the people.
23 Te phoeiah tah anih soah a kut a tloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a thui bangla anih te a uen.
And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.
