Lampahnah 36

1 Joseph ca rhoek kah koca lamloh Manasseh capa, Makir kah a ca, Gilead ca rhoek koca kah a napa boeilu rhoek te capit uh tih Moses mikhmuh neh Israel ca rhoek kah a napa boeilu, khoboei rhoek mikhmuh ah a thui uh.

Then the leaders of the ancestors' families of the clan of Gilead son of Machir (who was Manasseh's son), who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestor's families of the people of Israel.

2 Te vaengah, “Ka boeipa aw, khohmuen he Israel ca rhoek taengah hmulung neh rho la paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng. Ka boeipa aw mah manuca Zelophehad kah rho te a canu rhoek taengah paek ham BOEIPA loh a uen coeng.

They said, “Yahweh commanded you, our master, to give a share of land by lot to the people of Israel. You were commanded by Yahweh to give the share of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3 Tedae Israel ca kah koca pakhat ca lamkah pakhat taengah khaw a yuu la om uh koinih a pa rhoek kah rho khui lamloh amih kah rho te n'tloek pah ni. Amih a om nah koca kah rho te a thap vetih mamih kah rho he hmulung lamloh a hnop ni.

But if his daughters marry men in another tribe of the people of Israel, then their share of land will be removed from our ancestor's share. It will be added to the share of the tribes that they join. In that case, it will be removed from the assigned share of our inheritance.

4 Israel ca rhoek ham jubilee om bal vaengah khaw amih a om nah koca kah rho ham ni amih kah rho te a thap eh. Te vaengah a pa koca kah rho lamloh amih kah rho la a yueh ni,” a ti uh.

In that case, when the year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their share will be joined to the share of the tribe that they have joined. In this way, their share will be taken away from the share of our ancestors' tribe.”

5 Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA olka bangla Israel ca rhoek te a uen tih, “Joseph ca rhoek kah koca loh a thui tangloeng coeng.

So Moses gave a command to the people of Israel, at Yahweh's word. He said, “What the tribe of Joseph's descendants says is right.

6 Ol he BOEIPA loh Zelophehad canu rhoek ham khaw a uen coeng tih, ‘Amih mik ah a then bangla yuu la poeh uh cakhaw a napa koca kah huiko khuikah yuu la om uh saeh.

This is what Yahweh commands concerning Zelophehad's daughters. He says, 'Let them be married to whom they think best, but they must marry only within the family of their father's tribe.'

7 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah rho he koca pakhat lamloh koca a tloe taengla tinghil boel saeh. Israel ca khuikah hlang long tah a napa koca kah rho dongah balak uh saeh.

No share of the people of Israel must change from one tribe to another. Each one of the people of Israel must continue with the share of his ancestor's tribe.

8 Israel ca koca khuiah rho aka pang canu boeih tah, a napa cako koca pakhat kah a yuu la om saeh. Te daengah ni a pa rhoek kah rho te Israel ca khuikah hlang loh a pang eh.

Every woman of the people of Israel who owns a share in her tribe must marry someone from the clans belonging to her father's tribe. This is so that everyone of the people of Israel may own an inheritance from his ancestors.

9 Rho he koca pakhat lamloh a tloe koca taengla tinghil boel saeh. Hlang he Israel ca, koca khuikah tah amah kah rho dongah balak saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.

No share may change hands from one tribe to another. Everyone of the tribes of the people of Israel must keep his own inheritance.”

10 BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Zelophehad canu rhoek loh a saii uh van.

So Zelophehad's daughters did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

11 Zelophehad canu rhoek Mahlah, Tirzah neh Hoglah khaw, Milkah neh Noah khaw a panoe ca rhoek kah a yuu la om uh.

Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married descendants of Manasseh.

12 Joseph capa Manasseh ca rhoek kah koca khuiah yuu la a om uh dongah amih kah rho a napa huiko kah koca khuiah om van.

They married into the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph. In this way, their inheritances remained in the tribe to which their father's clan belonged.

13 He kah olpaek neh laitloeknah he BOEIPA loh Jerikho Jordan kaep, Moab kolken ah Israel ca ham Moses kut lamloh a uen.

These are the commands and the decrees that Yahweh gave by Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
