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 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 Chuin amaho chu Mose masang, Eleazer thempu masang, chuleh Japi lamkai ho masanga houbuh leitol ah ading un ahi.
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 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.
“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 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.
And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.
5 Hichun Mose’n amaho thule la boina chu Pathen masanga apolut tan ahi.
And the Lord said to him:
6 Chuin PakaiyinMose hitin ahin donbut in ahi.
“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 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.
And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:
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.
When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.
9 Amapa chun chanu anei tah hih le anei le agou hou chu asopite na peh ding ahi tai.
If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.
10 Israel mikhat chu athi tah a sopi aneitah lou leh achan vou aneile agou chu apa sopite ho napeh ding ahiye.
But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.
11 Israel mipa chu apateho asopiteho aum tah louleh aphung sunga akinai pipen chu napeh ding ahi.
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 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.
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 Nangma in natahsa tah a namu teng nangma jong nasoopipa Aaron bonga nathi ding ahitai,
And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.
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).
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 Chuin Mose’n Pakai henga hiti hin aseijin ahi.
Moses answered him:
16 Pakaiyin vannoiya lhangho jouse mi jouse pasal jouse chunga vaihom ding lheng doh tahen, ati.
“May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,
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.
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 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 him: “Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is, and place your hand upon him.
19 Eleazer thempu pa leh mipi jouse masangah dinsah inlang chuleh mipi jouse het in amachu mipite puihoi din thupeh nei in.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.
20 Chule Joshua chu nangman thanei nachu napeh ding hiche jeh achu Israel mipi te lah a thuneina anei thei nading ahi.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Chule Mose’n akhut chu Joshua chunga angam in phatthei abohtan Pathen nin aphatsah a thu apeh bangtah in aboltan ahi.
And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.
