And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near—and these [are] the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah—
2 Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi tamikalennaw kamkhuengnaw e hmalah a kangdue awh teh,
and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
3 Kahrawngum vah maimae na pa a due teh, BAWIPA taranlahoi cusin hane tamihu, Korah tamihu koe bawk van hoeh. Hatei, ama yon e lahoi a due teh a capa hai tawn hoeh
“Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation who were gathered together against YHWH in the congregation of Korah, but he died for his own sin, and had no sons;
4 Capa a tawn hoeh kecu dawkvah, bangkongmaw apa min teh miphun thung hoi a kahma han, mintoenaw thung dawkvah, ka ham kawi na poe van leih ati awh.
why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he has no son? Give a possession to us in the midst of the brothers of our father”;
5 Hot patetlah Mosi ni hote lawk teh BAWIPA koe a pha sak.
and Moses brings their cause near before YHWH.
6 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
7 Zelophehad canunaw ni kathuem e a sak awh. A na pa hmaunawnghanaw rahak vah, a ham kawi na poe awh roeroe vaiteh, a na pa ham hah na poe awh han.
“The daughters of Zelophehad are speaking correctly; you certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and have caused the inheritance of their father to pass over to them.
8 Isarel catounnaw koevah, tami buet touh ca tongpa tawn laipalah dout pawiteh, a râw teh a canunaw na poe han.
And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a man dies and has no son, then you have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
9 Hahoi a canu tawn hoehpawiteh, a râw teh a hmaunawngha na poe han.
and if he has no daughter, then you have given his inheritance to his brothers;
10 Hmaunawngha tawn hoehpawiteh, a na pa e hmaunawngha na poe pouh han.
and if he has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his father’s brothers;
11 A na pa ni hmaunawngha tawn hoehpawiteh, a râw teh a huikonaw na poe vaiteh, ahnimouh ni a ham awh han. BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah Isarel canaw hanlah lawkcengnae phunglam lah ao han, telah dei pouh telah ati.
and if his father has no brothers, then you have given his inheritance to his relation who is near to him of his family, and he has possessed it”; and it has been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
12 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Abarim mon dawkvah luen nateh, Isarel catounnaw ka poe hane ram hah radoung haw.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go up to this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
13 Hahoi na hmu toteh, na hmaunawngha Aron e a miphunnaw koevah, a ceikhai awh e patetlah nang hai na ceikhai awh han.
and you have seen it, and you have been gathered to your people, also you, as your brother Aaron has been gathered,
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Zin thingyei dawk taminaw pueng ni a phuenang awh navah, a mithmu vah tui dawk kai barilawa na poe nahanelah, kai ni kâ na poe e taranlahoi taran a thaw awh telah ati (hot teh Zin thingyei dawk Kadesh hoi Meribah tie lah a o).
because you provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation—to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes”; they [are] the waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
15 Hahoi Mosi ni BAWIPA a pato teh,
And Moses speaks to YHWH, saying,
16 moithangnaw pueng e hringnae kaukkung Cathut BAWIPA e taminaw hah kakhoumkung tawn laipalah tu patetlah ao hoeh nahanlah tamihu,
“YHWH, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
17 hmalah cei hoi ahnimouh tâcokhai hane hoi kâenkhai hane kahrawikung hah rawi seh, telah ati.
who goes out before them, and who comes in before them, and who takes them out, and who brings them in, and the congregation of YHWH is not as sheep which have no shepherd.”
18 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Nun capa hnotithainae ka tawn e Joshua hrawi nateh, ahni van na kut toung pouh.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun to yourself, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and you have laid your hand on him,
19 Vaihma Eleazar hoi ka kamkhuengnaw hmalah kangdout sak nateh, ahnimae mithmu vah caksak.
and have caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and have charged him before their eyes,
20 Isarel catounnaw pueng ni a lawk a ngâi pouh thai nahan, na kâtawnnae a tangawn hah na poe han.
and have put of your splendor on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel listens.
21 Ahni teh vaihma Eleazar hmalah a kangdue vaiteh, ama ni BAWIPA hmalah, Urim hno lahoi lawkkamnae a la vaiteh, ama kâ lahoi Isarel catounnaw pueng teh a tâco a kâen awh han, telah ati.
And he stands before Eleazar the priest, and he has inquired before YHWH for him by the judgment of the Lights; at his word they go out, and at his word they come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him—even all the congregation.”
22 Mosi ni BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a sak, Joshua hah a hrawi teh, Eleazar hoi kamkhuengnaw hmalah a kangdue sak.
And Moses does as YHWH has commanded him, and takes Joshua and causes him to stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation,
23 A lathueng vah kut a toung pouh teh, Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah kâtawnnae hah a poe.
and lays his hands on him and charges him, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
