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 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 came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, 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,

They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, 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. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He 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 taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”

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

Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

6 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel,

The LORD spoke to 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. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

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

You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

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

If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

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

If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

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.”

If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, 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.

The LORD said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

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

When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your 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.)

because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honor me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

15 Na Moses el pre ac fahk,

Moses spoke to 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, appoint 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.”

who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be 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.

The LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on 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.

Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

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

You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

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.”

He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall 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.

Moses did as the LORD commanded him. 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.

He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
