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 imthung dawk hoi Manasseh capa Makhir capa Gilead catoun imthung kahrawikungnaw hmalah lawk a dei awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni, BAWIPA ni Isarel catounnaw hah cungpam rayu hoi a coe awh hane ram poe hanlah, ka bawipa Mosi hah kâ a poe teh, hmaunawngha Zelophehad canunaw a coe hane râw hah BAWIPA ni ka bawipa koe kâ a poe toe.
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.
Hatei, ahnimouh ni Isarel catoun thung dawk hoi miphun alouke capa koe vâ sak pawiteh, na mintoenaw e ram a coe awh e hah la pouh vaiteh, a vâ koelae ram miphun koe lah a kâthap han. Hottelah coe tangcoung e ram dawk hoi tâcokhai han.
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].”
Hahoi Isarel catounnaw e Jubili a pha toteh, a ram hah a vanaw e miphunnaw ni coe e ram lah thapsin lah ao han. Hottelah mintoenaw e miphun ram thung dawk hoi let na lawp pouh awh han telah ati.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni BAWIPA lawk patetlah Isarel catounnaw hah kâ a poe teh, Joseph capa hoi miphunnaw ni a dei e a thuem.
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.’
Zelophehad canunaw kong dawkvah BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e teh hettelah doeh. Ahawi ati e pueng vâ naseh, hatei a napanaw e miphun hah vâ awh naseh telah ati.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel catounnaw e ram teh, miphun alouklouk koe voutsout puen laipalah, Isarel catounnaw ni a na mintoenaw e ram teh pou a ham awh han.
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.
Isarel catounnaw thung dawk râw ka pang hane canunaw pueng teh, Isarel catounnaw ni a na mintoenaw e ram lah kaawm e pou a ham thai nahan, a na pa miphun thung e a yu a la hanlah ao.
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.”
Ram teh miphun alouklouk koe puen thai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni amamae ram hah pou a pang awh e lah kaawm han telah a dei.
10 Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.
Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah Zelophehad canunaw ni a sak awh van.
11 The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
Zelophehad canunaw Mahlah, Tirzah hoi Hoglah, Milkah hoi Noah tinaw ni a na pa e hmaunawnghanaw e capanaw hah a vâ awh.
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 e capa hah a vâ awh teh, a ram teh a na pa miphunnaw ni a coe e râw lah pou a kangning.
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.
Hetnaw heh Jeriko tengpam Jordan namran Moab tanghling dawkvah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hno lahoi Isarelnaw koevah, kâ a poe e kâpoelawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw doeh.
