Lampahnah 27

1 Joseph capa Manasseh koca kah, Manasseh capa Makir kah a ca Gilead capa patoeng Hepher capa Zelophehad canu rhoek te kun uh. A canu rhoek ming he Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah neh Tirzah.

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 forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 Amih te Moses mikhmuh neh khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah, tingtunnah dap thohka kah khoboei rhoek neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah pai uh tih,

They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

3 “A pa he khosoek ah duek tih amah he BOEIPA aka tuentah kah hlangboel lakli neh Korah kah hlangboel khuiah khaw a om moenih. Amah kah tholhnah dongah duek tih a taengah ca tongpa om pawh.

Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

4 Balae tih a cako khui lamloh a pa ming a hma eh? A taengah ca tongpa a om pawt neh a pa kah manuca lakli ah kaimih he khohut m'pae van,” a ti uh.

Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

5 Te dongah Moses loh amih kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh la a khuen.

So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And the Lord said to Moses,

7 “Zelophehad canu rhoek kah a thui te thuem, amih te a napa kah pacaboeina lakli ah rho la khohut te pae rhoela pae. A napa rho te amih taengah mael.

What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

8 Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Hlang he duek tih a taengah ca tongpa a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a canu taengah mael.

And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

9 Anih te canu a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a manuca taengah pae.

And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

10 Anih te manuca a om pawt bal atah anih kah rho te a napa kah a manuca taengah pae.

And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

11 A napa te a manuca a om pawt atah anih kah rho te a cako khuiah anih neh aka yoei a thii a saa taengah pae lamtah pang saeh. BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla Israel ca rhoek ham laitloeknah khosing la om saeh,” a ti nah.

And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

12 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Abarim tlang ah he yoeng lamtah Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen te so lah.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

13 Te te na hmuh van phoeiah tah na maya Aaron a khoem uh bangla nang khaw na pilnam taengla na khoem uh ni.

And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

14 Rhaengpuei kah tohhaemnah dongah Zin khosoek ah ol na koek dongah. Zin khosoek, Kadesh Meribah tui kung, amih mikhmuh kah tui taengah kai he nan ciim ham om ta a ti nah.

Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

15 Te dongah Moses loh BOEIPA te a thui pah tih,

Then Moses said to the Lord,

16 “Pumsa boeih kah Mueihla Pathen BOEIPA loh rhaengpuei soah hlang pakhat khueh saeh.

Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

17 Anih te amih mikhmuh ah vuenva vetih amih mikhmuh ah kunael bitni. Te vaengah amih a khuen vetih amih te a pawk puei bitni. Te dongah amih, BOEIPA kah hlangboel he a dawn pawh boiva bangla om mahpawh,” a ti nah.

To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

18 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Nun capa Joshua te namah taengla lo. Tekah hlang tah a soah mueihla a om dongah anih te na kut tloeng thil.

And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

19 Anih te khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah pai sak lamtah amah te amih mikhmuh ah rhep uen.

And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

20 Na mueithennah te anih taengah na pak daengah ni Israel ca rhoek rhaengpuei boeih loh a ngai uh eh.

And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

21 Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh ah pai saeh lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Urim kah laitloeknah bangla anih te dawt saeh. Amah taengkah Israel ca boeih neh rhaengpuei boeih taengah khaw a ol bangla vuenva uh saeh lamtah anih ol bangla kunael uh saeh,” a ti nah.

He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

22 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh a saii. Te dongah Joshua te a khuen tih khosoih Eleazar mikhmuh neh rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah anih te a pai sak.

So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

23 Te phoeiah tah anih soah a kut a tloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a thui bangla anih te a uen.

And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
