Minbu 27

1 Joseph chate Manasseh chilhah ho Zelophat chateho Hepher chate Gilead chateho, Makhir chate chule achanu teuho min hou jouse chu mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah chule Tirzah ahiuve amaho jouse ahung khomsoh keiyun ahi.

Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 Chuin amaho chu Mose masang, Eleazer thempu masang, chuleh Japi lamkai ho masanga houbuh leitol ah ading un ahi.

They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

3 Kapu teuchu gamthip lah a ahinkhou ana beitan, Korah mite lah a khat pen chu ana hi pon amachu mi holah a Pathen lungdei lou bol ho khat chu ahin amavang ama chonset jal'a ahinkho beija ahitai chule chapa neilou ahiye.

Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

4 Epijeh a kapateu min chu aphung sung uva kon mang jeng ding ham chapa aneilou jeh mei a? Chanvou neilegou ka insung mite dang ho a tabong neipiu vin ati.

Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

5 Hichun Mose’n amaho thule la boina chu Pathen masanga apolut tan ahi.

So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

6 Chuin PakaiyinMose hitin ahin donbut in ahi.

And the Lord said to Moses,

7 Zelophehad chanute kiphin ahi ding mong tah ahiye. Mose nangman amaho neile gou apaho sopite ho lah a ding’a hin napeh tei angaiye chule apate ho chan vou ding u chu na peh teidiu ahi, ati.

What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

8 Israel mite chu sei pih tan, pasal khat chu ahinkho abeiya chule chapa neilouva aum tah a ahile anei le agou jouse chu achanute chang ding ahi.

And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

9 Amapa chun chanu anei tah hih le anei le agou hou chu asopite na peh ding ahi tai.

And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

10 Israel mikhat chu athi tah a sopi aneitah lou leh achan vou aneile agou chu apa sopite ho napeh ding ahiye.

And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

11 Israel mipa chu apateho asopiteho aum tah louleh aphung sunga akinai pipen chu napeh ding ahi.

And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

12 Nikhat Pathen in Mose komah asei in, “Nisolam vadung kom a molchung khat pen ah kel tou inlang chule keiman Israel te kapeh nading gamsung khu gah vetem in ati.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

13 Nangma in natahsa tah a namu teng nangma jong nasoopipa Aaron bonga nathi ding ahitai,

And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

14 Ajeh chu mipite ho gamthip lah Zin’a akiphin laitah un keiman kathendol amaho kom a twichungah phongjel lhonin kati chu nangnin keima doumah joh in nachon lhon tan ahi. (Hichehi Kadesh kiti Zin gammang a Meribah twi chu ahi).

Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

15 Chuin Mose’n Pakai henga hiti hin aseijin ahi.

Then Moses said to the Lord,

16 Pakaiyin vannoiya lhangho jouse mi jouse pasal jouse chunga vaihom ding lheng doh tahen, ati.

Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

17 Amaho lah a konna hungpot doh ding amaho lah a gamsung lutthei hiding koitabang amaho lah a konna hin puidoh theiya hin nung lhunsah kit thei hiding Pathen mipi te, hijeh achu kelngoi aching umlou bang nga a umlou nadiu ahi.

To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

18 Chu in PakaiyinMose aki houlimpi tan Joshua kiti Nun chapa lhagao neisa pahi nangman heng a kou inlang achungah nakhut ngam in atie.

And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

19 Eleazer thempu pa leh mipi jouse masangah dinsah inlang chuleh mipi jouse het in amachu mipite puihoi din thupeh nei in.

And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

20 Chule Joshua chu nangman thanei nachu napeh ding hiche jeh achu Israel mipi te lah a thuneina anei thei nading ahi.

And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

21 Eleazer thempu pa masang a ding ding chule Pathen lam gel doh jing a aum na laiya Urim thutanna umna ahin, amapa thupeh dungjuiya potdoh diu chule amapa thuneina a hung sung lha diu Joshua le Israel mipi jouse umkhom diu ahi.

He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

22 Hichun Mose’n jong Pathen thupeh dungjui in abollin hichun Mose’n Joshua chu Eleazer thempu pa masang leh Israel mipite masangah adinsah tan ahi.

So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

23 Chule Mose’n akhut chu Joshua chunga angam in phatthei abohtan Pathen nin aphatsah a thu apeh bangtah in aboltan ahi.

And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
