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 imthung, Makhir, ahnie capa Gilead, ahnie capa Hepher, ahnie capa Zelophehad e canu naw doeh. A canunaw e minnaw teh, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah hoi Tirzah tinaw doeh.

2 the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,

Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi tamikalennaw kamkhuengnaw e hmalah a kangdue awh teh,

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.

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

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.”

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.

5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,

Hot patetlah Mosi ni hote lawk teh BAWIPA koe a pha sak.

6 and the LORD answered him,

BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,

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 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.

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.

Isarel catounnaw koevah, tami buet touh ca tongpa tawn laipalah dout pawiteh, a râw teh a canunaw na poe han.

9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.

Hahoi a canu tawn hoehpawiteh, a râw teh a hmaunawngha na poe han.

10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

Hmaunawngha tawn hoehpawiteh, a na pa e hmaunawngha na poe pouh han.

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 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.

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.

BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Abarim mon dawkvah luen nateh, Isarel catounnaw ka poe hane ram hah radoung haw.

13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;

Hahoi na hmu toteh, na hmaunawngha Aron e a miphunnaw koevah, a ceikhai awh e patetlah nang hai na ceikhai awh han.

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.

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).

15 So Moses appealed to the LORD,

Hahoi Mosi ni BAWIPA a pato teh,

16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation

moithangnaw pueng e hringnae kaukkung Cathut BAWIPA e taminaw hah kakhoumkung tawn laipalah tu patetlah ao hoeh nahanlah tamihu,

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.”

hmalah cei hoi ahnimouh tâcokhai hane hoi kâenkhai hane kahrawikung hah rawi seh, telah ati.

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.

BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Nun capa hnotithainae ka tawn e Joshua hrawi nateh, ahni van na kut toung pouh.

19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.

Vaihma Eleazar hoi ka kamkhuengnaw hmalah kangdout sak nateh, ahnimae mithmu vah caksak.

20 Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.

Isarel catounnaw pueng ni a lawk a ngâi pouh thai nahan, na kâtawnnae a tangawn hah na poe han.

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.”

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.

22 Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,

Mosi ni BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a sak, Joshua hah a hrawi teh, Eleazar hoi kamkhuengnaw hmalah a kangdue sak.

23 and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.

A lathueng vah kut a toung pouh teh, Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah kâtawnnae hah a poe.
