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 came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these [are] the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, 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 before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

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 wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

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.”

Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us [therefore] a possession among the brethren of our father.

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

And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

6 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

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

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

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

And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

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

And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.

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.”

And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded 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.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

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

And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

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 ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

15 Na Moses el pre ac fahk,

And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

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,

Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

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

Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no 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 unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine 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 set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

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

And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

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.”

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

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.

And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

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

And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
