Numbers 27

1 And the daughters of Salpaad the son of Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;

Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, ac Tirzah pa acn natul Zelophehad, wen natul Hepher su wen natul Gilead, wen natul Machir, wen natul Manasseh, wen natul Joseph.

2 and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,

Elos som ac tu ye mutal Moses ac Eleazar mwet tol, oayapa ye mutun mwet kol ac sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel ke acn in utyak nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD ac fahk,

3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son: give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.

“Papa tumasr el tuh misa yen mwesis, a wangin wen natul. El tia sie sin mwet welul Korah su tunyuna lain LEUM GOD. El misa ke ma koluk lal sifacna.

4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.

Ya mweyen na wangin wen natul papa, pa in wanginla inel liki mwet Israel? Ase ip lasr ke acn lun sou lun papa tumasr.”

5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Na Moses el sang mwe siyuk lalos nu sin LEUM GOD

6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and you shall assign their father's inheritance to them.

ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel,

7 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,

“Pwaye ma acn natul Zelophehad inge siyuk uh. Sang ip lalos ke acn lun sou lun papa tumalos. Lela usru lun papa tumalos in itukyang nu selos.

8 If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.

Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah kutena mukul su misa ac wangin wen natul, na acn natul fah usrui ma lal.

9 And if he have no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.

Fin wangin acn natul, na tamulel lal fah usrui acn sel.

10 And if he have no brethren, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.

Fin wangin pac tamulel lal, tamulel lun papa tumal pa ac eis usru sac.

11 And if there be no brethren of his father, you shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgement, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Fin wangin tamulel wien papa tumal, na sie mwet in sou sac ma fototo emeet nu sel pa ac eis usru lal oana ma lal sifacna. Mwet Israel uh in karingin oakwuk ku se inge oana ke nga, LEUM GOD, sapkin nu sum.”

12 And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fanyak nu Fineol Abarim ac ngetla nu fin facl se ma nga ac sang nu sin mwet Israel.

13 And you shall see it, and you also shall be added to your people, as Aaron your brother was added [to them] in mount Or:

Tukun kom liye tari, kom ac misa, oana Aaron tamulel lom,

14 because you transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; you sanctified me not at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the wilderness of Sin.

mweyen komtal kewa utuk nunak lain ma nga sapkin yen mwesis Zin. Ke pacl se mwet in sruf nukewa elos torkaskas lainyu Meribah, komtal srunga akkalemye ku mutal luk ye mutalos.” (Meribah pa unon in kof se Kadesh in acn mwesis Zin.)

15 And Moses said to the Lord,

Na Moses el pre ac fahk,

16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over this congregation,

“O LEUM GOD, moul lun ma moul nukewa tuku sum me. Nga pre tuh kom in srisrngiya sie mwet su ku in kol mwet inge,

17 who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.

ac su ku pac in kololos in pacl in mweun, tuh mwet inge nukewa fah tia oana sheep su wangin mwet shepherd la.”

18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to yourself Joshua the son of Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and you shall lay your hands upon him.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Eisal Joshua wen natul Nun, ac filiya poum fin sifal, mweyen Ngun lun God oan in el.

19 And you shall set him before Eleazar the priest, and you shall give him a charge before all the congregation, and you shall give a charge concerning him before them.

Sap elan tu ye mutal Eleazar mwet tol, oayapa ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa, na kom fah akkalemye nu selos nukewa lah el pa ac aol kom.

20 And you shall put of your glory upon him, that the children of Israel may listen to him.

Sang nu sel kutu ku ac wal lom sifacna, tuh sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel fah aksol.

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of him before the Lord the judgement of the Urim: they shall go forth at his word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with one accord, and all the congregation.

El ac fah tupanul Eleazar mwet tol, su ac fah suk lungse luk ke el ac orekmakin Urim ac Thummim. In ouiya se inge, Eleazar el ac fahk nu sel Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa ma elos ac oru.”

22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.

Moses el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel. El oru tuh Joshua elan tu ye mutal Eleazar mwet tol ac ye mutun sruf nukewa lun Israel.

23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered Moses.

Na Moses el filiya paol fin sifal Joshua, oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac el fahkak lah Joshua pa ac aolul.
