The family heads of the descendants of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the Israelite leaders, the heads of families.
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.
They said, “When the Lord ordered you, my lord, to allocate land ownership to the Israelites by lot, he also ordered you to give our brother Zelophehad's share to his daughters.
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.
However, if they marry men from the other tribes of Israel, their allocation would be taken away our fathers' share and added to the tribe of the men they marry. That part of our allocation would be lost to us.
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.
So when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes around, their allocation would be added to the tribe into which they marry, and taken away from our fathers' tribe.”
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.
Following what the Lord told him, Moses gave these orders to the Israelites, “What the tribe of the sons of Joseph says is right.
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.
This is what the Lord has ordered in regard to Zelophehad's daughters: They can marry anyone they want as long as they marry within a family that belongs to their father's 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.
No land allocation in Israel may be passed from tribe to tribe, because every Israelite is to hold onto the allocation of his father's tribe.
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.
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
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.
No land allocation may be passed from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe must hold onto its own allocation.”

They married within the families of the descendants of Manasseh, son of Joseph, and their land allocation stayed within their father's tribe.
