Nambar 27

1 Manasseh capa Makir, Makir capa Gilead, Gilead capa Hepher, Hepher capa Zelophehad, anih ih canunawk loe, Joseph capa Manasseh acaeng ah oh o. Anih canunawk ih ahmin loe Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah hoi Tirzah.

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 Nihcae loe amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar, zaehoikungnawk hoi rangpui kaminawk hmaa ah, angdoet o pacoengah,

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 kaicae ampa loe praezaek ah duek boeh; anih loe Angraeng ih lok aek kami, Korah hnukbang kaminawk thungah athum ai; anih loe a zaehaih pongah duek moe, capa tawn ai.

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

4 To tiah capa tawn ai pongah, anih ih ahmin to canawk thung hoiah tahmat han boeh maw? To pongah kam pa ih nawkamyanawk hoi nawnto qawk na paek o thoem ah, tiah a naa o.

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 To pongah Mosi mah nihcae kawng to Angraeng khaeah thuih pae.

And Moses brought their cause before Yhwh.

6 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

7 Zelophehad canunawk mah thuih ih lok loe amsoem; ampa ih nawkamyanawk salakah nihcae han qawk na paek han oh; ampa ih qawknawk to nihcae han paek paeh.

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 Israel kaminawk thung ih, Kami maeto loe, capa tawn ai ah dueh nahaeloe, anih ih qawk to a canu han paek ah.

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 Canu doeh tawn ai nahaeloe, anih ih qawk to angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah paek ah.

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

10 Nawkamyanawk doeh tawn ai bae nahaeloe, anih ih qawk to ampa ih nawkamyanawk khaeah paek ah.

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

11 Ampa loe nawkamya tawn ai nahaeloe, acaeng thung kazoi koek kami to paek ah; anih mah qawk to toep tih; hae loe Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk hanah kangaih zaehoihhaih atawk ah om tih, tiah a naa.

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 Yhwh commanded Moses.

12 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Abarim mae nuiah daw tahang ah loe, Israel kaminawk khaeah ka paek han ih prae to doeng ah.

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

13 To prae na hnuk pacoengah loe, nam ya Aaron lak baktih toengah, nang doeh nam panawk khaeah la tih boeh.

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

14 Israel kaminawk Zin praezaek, Kadesh hmuen ih Meribah tuipuek taengah, laisaep o naah ciimcai ka hmin pakoeh ai ah, ka lok nang aek, tiah a naa.

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 Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah,

And Moses spake unto Yhwh, saying,

16 Angraeng, kaminawk boih ih Muithla ukkung Sithaw mah, hae kaminawk,

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

17 hma ah caeh thaih kami, akun thaih kami, zaehoi thaih kami, akunsak thaih kami to zaehoikung ah suem nasoe; to tiah nahaeloe Angraeng ih kaminawk loe toepkung om ai tuunawk baktiah om o mak ai, tiah a naa.

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 Yhwh be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

18 To pongah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, muithla katawn, Nun capa Joshua to kawk loe, a nuiah na ban to koeng ah;

And Yhwh said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

19 qaima Eleazar hoi kaminawk hmaa ah angdoesak ah loe, kaminawk hma ah tok to paek ah.

And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

20 Israel kaminawk mah a lok tahngaih o hanah, hmuen na sak thaihaih thoemto anih han paek ah.

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

21 Anih to qaima Eleazar hma ah angdoesak ah loe, qaima mah Angraeng hmaa ah Urim to lokdueng pacoengah, anih han lok takroek pae tih. Anih mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih hoi Israel kaminawk to tacawt o ueloe, anih mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah akun o tih, tiah a naa.

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before Yhwh: 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 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak; Joshua to kawk moe, qaima Eleazar hoi rangpui hma ah angdoetsak.

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

23 To pacoengah anih nuiah ban koeng moe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, tok to a paek.

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