Numbers 27
1 Now the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They approached
Joseph capa Manasseh koca kah, Manasseh capa Makir kah a ca Gilead capa patoeng Hepher capa Zelophehad canu rhoek te kun uh. A canurhoek ming he Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah neh Tirzah.
2 the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
Amih te Moses mikhmuh neh khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah, tingtunnah dap thohka kah khoboeirhoek neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah paiuh tih,
3 “Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.
“A pa he khosoek ah duek tih amah he BOEIPA aka tuentah kah hlangboel lakli neh Korah kah hlangboel khuiah khaw a om moenih. Amah kah tholhnah dongah duek tih a taengah ca tongpa om pawh.
4 Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
Balae tih a cako khui lamloh a pa minga hma eh? A taengah ca tongpaaom pawt neh a pa kah manuca lakli ah kaimih he khohut m'pae van,” a ti uh.
5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
Te dongah Moses loh amih kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh laa khuen.
6 and the LORD answered him,
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses tea voek tih,
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
“Zelophehad canu rhoek kah a thuite thuem, amih te a napa kah pacaboeina lakli ah rho la khohutte pae rhoela pae. A napa rho te amih taengah mael.
8 Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
Israel carhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Hlang he duek tih a taengah ca tongpaaom pawt atah anih kah rho te a canu taengah mael.
9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
Anih te canuaom pawt atah anih kah rho te a manuca taengah pae.
10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Anih te manucaaom pawt bal atah anih kah rho te a napa kah a manuca taengah pae.
11 And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”
A napa tea manucaaom pawt atah anih kah rho te a cako khuiah anih neh aka yoei a thii a saa taengah pae lamtah pang saeh. BOEIPA loh Mosesa uen bangla Israel carhoek ham laitloeknah khosing la om saeh,” a ti nah.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Abarim tlang ah he yoeng lamtah Israel carhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen te so lah.
13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;
Te tena hmuh van phoeiah tah na maya Aarona khoem uh bangla nang khaw na pilnam taenglana khoem uh ni.
14 for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin.
Rhaengpuei kah tohhaemnah dongah Zin khosoek ah olna koek dongah. Zin khosoek, Kadesh Meribah tui kung, amih mikhmuh kah tui taengah kai he nan ciim ham om ta a ti nah.
15 So Moses appealed to the LORD,
Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA tea thui pah tih,
16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
“Pumsa boeih kah Mueihla Pathen BOEIPA loh rhaengpuei soah hlang pakhat khueh saeh.
17 who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
Anihte amih mikhmuh ah vuenva vetih amih mikhmuh ah kunael bitni. Te vaengah amiha khuen vetih amih te a pawk puei bitni. Te dongah amih, BOEIPA kah hlangboel he a dawn pawh boiva bangla om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
18 And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Nun capa Joshua te namah taengla lo. Tekah hlang tah a soah mueihlaaom dongah anih te na kut tloeng thil.
19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
Anih te khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah pai sak lamtah amah te amih mikhmuh ah rhep uen.
20 Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
Na mueithennah te anih taengahna pak daengah ni Israel carhoek rhaengpuei boeihloh a ngai uh eh.
21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”
Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah pai saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Urim kah laitloeknah bangla anih te dawt saeh. Amah taengkah Israel ca boeih neh rhaengpuei boeih taengah khaw a ol bangla vuenva uh saeh lamtah anih ol bangla kunael uh saeh,” a ti nah.
22 Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
BOEIPA loh amaha uen bangla Mosesloh a saii. Te dongah Joshua tea khuen tih khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah anih te a pai sak.
23 and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
Te phoeiah tah anih soah a kuta tloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses kut aha thui bangla anih te a uen.
