Numbers 27

1 Then to Moses came the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.

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 They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and before all the community at the entrance to the tent of meeting. They said,

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. He was not among those who conspired against Yahweh in the company of Korah. He died for his own sin, and he had no sons.

“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 Why should our father's name be taken away from among his clan members because he had no son? Give us land among our father's relatives.”

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 So Moses brought their case before Yahweh.

Na Moses el sang mwe siyuk lalos nu sin LEUM GOD

6 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel,

7 “Zelophehad's daughters are speaking correctly. You must certainly give them land as an inheritance among their father's relatives, and you must ensure that their father's inheritance passes on to them.

“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 You must speak to the people of Israel and say, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you must cause his inheritance to pass 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 If he has no daughter, then you must give his inheritance to his brothers.

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

10 If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

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

11 If his father has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his clan, and he must take it for his own. This will be a law established by decree for the people of Israel, as Yahweh has commanded me.'”

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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up the mountains of Abarim and look at the land that I have given to the people of Israel.

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 After you have seen it, you, too, must be gathered to your people, like Aaron your brother.

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

14 This will happen because you two rebelled against my command in the wilderness of Zin. There, when the water flowed from the rock, in your anger you failed to honor me as holy before the eyes of the whole community.” These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

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 Then Moses spoke to Yahweh and said,

Na Moses el pre ac fahk,

16 “May you, Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all humanity, appoint a man over the community,

“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 a man who may go out and come in before them and lead them out and bring them in, so that your community is not like sheep that have no 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom my Spirit lives, and lay your hand on 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 Place him before Eleazar the priest and before all the community, and command him before their eyes to lead 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 You must put some of your authority on him, so that all the community of the people of Israel may obey him.

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

21 He will go before Eleazar the priest to seek my will for him by the decisions of the Urim. It will be at his command that the people will go out and come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole community.”

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 So Moses did as Yahweh had commanded him. He took Joshua and placed him before Eleazar the priest and all the community.

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 He laid his hands on him and commanded him to lead, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.

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