< Numbers 27 >

1 Then there approached the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Mahlah, and Noa, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
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 And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people, at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and they said:
Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi tamikalennaw kamkhuengnaw e hmalah a kangdue awh teh,
3 “Our father died in the desert, and was not with the sedition, which was stirred up against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; he had no male sons. Why is his name taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.”
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 And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.
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 And the Lord said to him:
Hot patetlah Mosi ni hote lawk teh BAWIPA koe a pha sak.
6 “The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
7 And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:
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 When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred 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, his brothers shall succeed him.
Hahoi a canu tawn hoehpawiteh, a râw teh a hmaunawngha na poe han.
10 But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.
Hmaunawngha tawn hoehpawiteh, a na pa e hmaunawngha na poe pouh han.
11 But if he has no paternal uncles, the inheritance shall be given to those who are closest to him. And this shall be, for the sons of Israel, consecrated as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed 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 The Lord also said to Moses: “Ascend onto this mountain, Abarim, and contemplate from there the land, which I will give to the sons of Israel.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Abarim mon dawkvah luen nateh, Isarel catounnaw ka poe hane ram hah radoung haw.
13 And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.
Hahoi na hmu toteh, na hmaunawngha Aron e a miphunnaw koevah, a ceikhai awh e patetlah nang hai na ceikhai awh han.
14 For you offended me in the desert of Sin at the Contradiction of the multitude; neither were you willing to sanctify me in their sight over the waters. These are the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh in the desert of Sin.”
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 Moses answered him:
Hahoi Mosi ni BAWIPA a pato teh,
16 “May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,
moithangnaw pueng e hringnae kaukkung Cathut BAWIPA e taminaw hah kakhoumkung tawn laipalah tu patetlah ao hoeh nahanlah tamihu,
17 and who may be able to exit and enter before them, and who may lead them out or lead them in: lest the people of the Lord 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 said to him: “Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is, and place your hand upon him.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Nun capa hnotithainae ka tawn e Joshua hrawi nateh, ahni van na kut toung pouh.
19 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.
Vaihma Eleazar hoi ka kamkhuengnaw hmalah kangdout sak nateh, ahnimae mithmu vah caksak.
20 And you shall give him the precepts in the sight of all, and a portion of your glory, so that the entire congregation of the sons of Israel may listen to him.
Isarel catounnaw pueng ni a lawk a ngâi pouh thai nahan, na kâtawnnae a tangawn hah na poe han.
21 On his behalf, if anything is to be done, Eleazar the priest shall consult the Lord. He, and all the sons of Israel with him, and the rest of the multitude, shall go out and enter in at his word.”
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 just as the Lord had instructed. And when he had brought Joshua, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the entire gathering of the people.
Mosi ni BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a sak, Joshua hah a hrawi teh, Eleazar hoi kamkhuengnaw hmalah a kangdue sak.
23 And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.
A lathueng vah kut a toung pouh teh, Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah kâtawnnae hah a poe.
