Numbers 36
1 The family leaders of the clan of Gilead of the tribe of Manasseh went to Moses/me and the other family leaders of the Israeli people.
Joseph ca rhoek kah koca lamloh Manasseh capa, Makir kah a ca, Gilead ca rhoek koca kah a napa boeilu rhoek te capit uh tih Moses mikhmuh neh Israel ca rhoek kah a napa boeilu, khoboei rhoek mikhmuh ah a thui uh.
2 They said to Moses/me, “Yahweh commanded you, our leader, to apportion the land to the Israeli tribes by throwing (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide [which group would get which area]. Yahweh also commanded you to give the land that belonged to our fellow Israeli Zelophehad to his daughters.
Te vaengah, “Ka boeipa aw, khohmuen he Israel ca rhoek taengah hmulung neh rho la paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng. Ka boeipa aw mah manuca Zelophehad kah rho te a canu rhoek taengah paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng.
3 But if his daughters marry men from the other Israeli tribes, that land will no longer belong to our tribe. People of other tribes will get it. So some of our land will no longer belong to us.
Tedae Israel ca kah koca pakhat ca lamkah pakhat taengah khaw a yuu la om uh koinih a pa rhoek kah rho khui lamloh amih kah rho te n'tloek pah ni. Amih a om nah koca kah rho te a thap vetih mamih kah rho he hmulung lamloh a hnop ni.
4 When the Year of Celebration comes, [when all the land that has been bought by someone is returned to its original owners], the land that belonged to Zelophehad will belong to the tribes of the men that his daughters marry. So some of our land, the land that we received from our fathers, will be taken from us, [and we will never own it again].”
Israel ca rhoek ham jubilee om bal vaengah khaw amih a om nah koca kah rho ham ni amih kah rho te a thap eh. Te vaengah a pa koca kah rho lamloh amih kah rho la a yueh ni,” a ti uh.
5 Yahweh told Moses/me what to reply to them, so Moses/I said this to them: “These men from the tribe of Manasseh are right.
Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA olka bangla Israel ca rhoek te a uen tih, “Joseph ca rhoek kah koca loh a thui tangloeng coeng.
6 This is what Yahweh is saying to the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Each of you may marry anyone you want to, but you must marry only someone from your own tribe.’
Ol he BOEIPA loh Zelophehad canu rhoek ham khaw a uen coeng tih, 'Amih mik ah a then bangla yuu la poeh uh cakhaw a napa koca kah huiko khuikah yuu la om uh saeh.
7 In that way, the land that belongs to Israelis will not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ancestors.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah rho he koca pakhat lamloh koca a tloe taengla tinghil boel saeh. Israel ca khuikah hlang long tah a napa koca kah rho dongah balak uh saeh.
8 A woman who inherits her father’s land may get married, but she must marry someone from her own tribe. In that way, every Israeli will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.
Israel ca koca khuiah rho aka pang canu boeih tah, a napa cako koca pakhat kah a yuu la om saeh. Te daengah ni a pa rhoek kah rho te Israel ca khuikah hlang loh a pang eh.
9 The land must not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli tribe must keep the land that it received from its ancestors.”
Rho he koca pakhat lamloh a tloe koca taengla tinghil boel saeh. Hlang he Israel ca, koca khuikah tah amah kah rho dongah balak saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Zelophehad canu rhoek loh a saii uh van.
11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
Zelophehad canu rhoek Mahlah, Tirzah neh Hoglah khaw, Milcah neh Noah khaw a panoe ca rhoek kah a yuu la om uh.
12 The men whom they married were from the tribe of Manasseh, so their land continued to belong to their father’s family and tribe.
Joseph capa Manasseh ca rhoek kah koca khuiah yuu la a om uh dongah amih kah rho a napa huiko kah koca khuiah om van.
13 Those were the commands [DOU] that Yahweh gave to Moses/me to tell to the Israelis, while they/we were on the plains of the Moab region, close to the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
He kah olpaek neh laitloeknah he BOEIPA loh Jerikho Jordan kaep, Moab kolken ah Israel ca ham Moses kut lamloh a uen.
