1 Joseph chate lah a phungkhat Manasseh chapa, Machir chapa, Gilead chate lah a ama insung cheh akon upa khat cheh ahung kipe lut paitauvin, Mose ahin lamkai dang chule Israel chate sung’a upa cheng komma ahung sei un ahi.
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 Amahon hiti hin asei uve, Kapu heng’a Pathen in, hiche gamsung hi Israel chate alo diu chanvou a kihop teng u-leh; ka sopi’u Zelophehad chanu teho jong peh ding in ana sei jin ahi.
And they said, YHWH commanded my master to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my master was commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 Amavang chanute hin Israel chate sung’a konna phung dang pasal hon kichen pi khah taleu, hiche apa uva konna goulo na’u gamsung pumpi hi kila mang jeng ding, ajinei na’u phungho toh chun agamsung hi ki gom ding, chu teng keiho goulo ding gamsung akon phabep kiladoh ding ahi tai.
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Chule Israel chate Jubilee chu hung lhung jeng ta jong leh, aji neina teho'u-toh'a chanute ho’u goulo na gam chu kigom ta ding, chu teng amaho goulo kiti phot chu kapu kapa teho’u akonna ki ladoh jeng ding ahi tai.
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 Chuin Mose’n jong Pakai, Pathen kamcheng akon Israel chate jah a thu apetan,
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of YHWH, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 Zelophehad chanute chung chang a Pakai, Pathen thuseidoh chu hiche hi ahiye, Amaho hin adei deiyu akichenpi jeng theiyu ahi, ahinlah hiche akichen pidiu chu apa’u phung sung’a kon hi cheh ding ahi.
This is the thing which YHWH doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7 Ajeh chu Israel chate akonna goulo hohi
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Hijeh achu Israel chanute akonna apa goulo chanvou chang hon apa phung sunga konna mi khat a kichenpi teitei ding, hitia chu Israel chate hon apu, apa te khang uva pat a-goulo chengse’u chu Amaho jeng in achenpi jing diu ahi.
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Goulo gamsung hi phungkhat akonna phung dang a ki chonlut thei louhel ding, ajeh chu Israel chaten ama ama chenna gamsung cheh chu kituptah a akiven kol cehh ding ahi, tia thu napeh ding ahiye.
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Zelophehad chanute sen jong Pakai, Pathen thupeh bang bang in abolsoh kei tauvin ahi.
Even as YHWH commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, Noah, Zelophehad chanute abonchauvin apa sopi pasal hotoh aki cheng tauve.
For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
12 Amaho chu Joseph chapa Manasseh chate phungsung jeng ngah ajinei taovin, agoulo gam sung’u abonchan apau phung sung ah aum jing tan ahi.
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Dan thupeh hohi Moab phaicham, Jordan vadung pang Jericho khopia Pakai, Pathen in Israel chate chonna dan dinga Mose henga thupeh ana nei hochu ahi.
These are the commandments and the judgments, which YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
