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 came near the daughters of Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh pertaining to the families of Manasseh, son of Joseph, —these being the names of his daughters, Mahlah Noah 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,

So they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the assembly, —at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying:

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, although, he, was not among the assembly that conspired against Yahweh, in the assembly of Korah, —but, in his own sin, died he; and sons, had he none.

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.

Wherefore should the name of our father be withdrawn out of the midst of his family, because he had no son? Give ye unto us a possession, in the midst of the brethren of our father.

5 Te dongah Moses loh amih kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh la a khuen.

And Moses brought near their cause before Yahweh.

6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

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.

A right thing, are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking: Thou shalt, surely give, them a possession for an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father, —and shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass over unto them.

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.

And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, —When, any man, shall die, having no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass over to his daughter.

9 Anih te canu a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a manuca taengah pae.

And, if he hath no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his, brethren.

10 Anih te manuca a om pawt bal atah anih kah rho te a napa kah a manuca taengah pae.

And if he hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto the brethren 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.

And, if his father hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his blood-relation that is near unto him of his family, and he shall possess it, —So shall it serve the sons of Israel as a regulative statute, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

12 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Abarim tlang ah he yoeng lamtah Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen te so lah.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Go up into this mount of Abarim, —and see, the land which I have given unto 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 thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, —as Aaron thy brother was withdrawn;

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.

because ye resisted my bidding—in the desert of Zin when the assembly contended, —that ye should hallow me regarding the waters, before their eyes, —the same, were the waters of Meribah, of Kadesh in the desert of Zin.

15 Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA te a thui pah tih,

Then spake Moses unto Yahweh saying:

16 “Pumsa boeih kah Mueihla Pathen BOEIPA loh rhaengpuei soah hlang pakhat khueh saeh.

Let Yahweh, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the assembly;

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.

who may go out before them and who may come in before them, and who may take them out and who may bring them in, —that the assembly of Yahweh become not as sheep that have no 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 Yahweh said unto Moses: Take thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, —then shalt thou lean thy 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 shalt cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly, —and shalt charge him before their eyes;

20 Na mueithennah te anih taengah na pak daengah ni Israel ca rhoek rhaengpuei boeih loh a ngai uh eh.

and shalt put some of thine honour upon him, —that all the assembly of the sons of Israel may hearken.

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.

And, before Eleazar the priest, shall he stand, and shall ask by him for the decision of the Lights, before Yahweh, —at the bidding thereof, shall they go out, and at the bidding thereof, shall they come in—he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the assembly.

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.

And Moses did as Yahweh commanded him, —and took Joshua, and caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly;

23 Te phoeiah tah anih soah a kut a tloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a thui bangla anih te a uen.

and leaned his hands upon him and charged him, —As Yahweh spake by the hand of Moses.
