Lampahnah 36
1 Joseph ca rhoek kah koca lamloh Manasseh capa, Makir kah a ca, Gilead ca rhoek koca kah a napa boeilu rhoek te capit uh tih Moses mikhmuh neh Israel ca rhoek kah a napa boeilu, khoboei rhoek mikhmuh ah a thui uh.
Then the leaders of the families of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the stock of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke to Moses before the leaders of Israel, and they said:
2 Te vaengah, “Ka boeipa aw, khohmuen he Israel ca rhoek taengah hmulung neh rho la paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng. Ka boeipa aw mah manuca Zelophehad kah rho te a canu rhoek taengah paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng.
“The Lord has instructed you, our ruler, so that you would divide the land by lot to the sons of Israel, and so that you would give to the daughters of Zelophehad, our brother, the possession owed to their father.
3 Tedae Israel ca kah koca pakhat ca lamkah pakhat taengah khaw a yuu la om uh koinih a pa rhoek kah rho khui lamloh amih kah rho te n'tloek pah ni. Amih a om nah koca kah rho te a thap vetih mamih kah rho he hmulung lamloh a hnop ni.
But if men of another tribe receive them as wives, their possession will follow them, and having been transferred to another tribe, there will be a reduction in our inheritance.
4 Israel ca rhoek ham jubilee om bal vaengah khaw amih a om nah koca kah rho ham ni amih kah rho te a thap eh. Te vaengah a pa koca kah rho lamloh amih kah rho la a yueh ni,” a ti uh.
And so it may be that, when the Jubilee of remission, that is, the fiftieth year, has arrived, the distribution by lots shall be confounded, and the possession of the one shall be transferred to others.”
5 Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA olka bangla Israel ca rhoek te a uen tih, “Joseph ca rhoek kah koca loh a thui tangloeng coeng.
Moses answered the sons of Israel, and, at the instruction of the Lord, he said: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.
6 Ol he BOEIPA loh Zelophehad canu rhoek ham khaw a uen coeng tih, 'Amih mik ah a then bangla yuu la poeh uh cakhaw a napa koca kah huiko khuikah yuu la om uh saeh.
And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,
7 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah rho he koca pakhat lamloh koca a tloe taengla tinghil boel saeh. Israel ca khuikah hlang long tah a napa koca kah rho dongah balak uh saeh.
lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;
8 Israel ca koca khuiah rho aka pang canu boeih tah, a napa cako koca pakhat kah a yuu la om saeh. Te daengah ni a pa rhoek kah rho te Israel ca khuikah hlang loh a pang eh.
and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,
9 Rho he koca pakhat lamloh a tloe koca taengla tinghil boel saeh. Hlang he Israel ca, koca khuikah tah amah kah rho dongah balak saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.”
10 BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Zelophehad canu rhoek loh a saii uh van.
And the daughters of Zelophehad acted according to what was ordered.
11 Zelophehad canu rhoek Mahlah, Tirzah neh Hoglah khaw, Milcah neh Noah khaw a panoe ca rhoek kah a yuu la om uh.
And Mahlah, and Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noa were wed to the sons of their paternal uncle,
12 Joseph capa Manasseh ca rhoek kah koca khuiah yuu la a om uh dongah amih kah rho a napa huiko kah koca khuiah om van.
from the family of Manasseh, who was a son of Joseph. And the possession which had been distributed to them remained in the tribe and family of their father.
13 He kah olpaek neh laitloeknah he BOEIPA loh Jerikho Jordan kaep, Moab kolken ah Israel ca ham Moses kut lamloh a uen.
These are the commandments and judgments which the Lord ordered by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
