Oekyuk 27

1 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.

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.

2 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,

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:

3 “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.

“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.”

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

And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.

5 Na Moses el sang mwe siyuk lalos nu sin LEUM GOD

And the Lord said to him:

6 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel,

“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.

7 “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.

And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:

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

When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.

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

If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.

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

But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.

11 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.”

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.”

12 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.

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.

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

And when you have seen it, you shall then go to your people, just as your brother Aaron went.

14 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.)

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.”

15 Na Moses el pre ac fahk,

Moses answered him:

16 “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,

“May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, provide a man, who may be over this multitude,

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

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.”

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

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.

19 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.

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.

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

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.

21 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.”

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.”

22 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.

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.

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

And imposing his hands upon his head, he repeated all that the Lord had commanded.
