Minbu 36

1 Joseph chate lah a phungkhat Manasseh chapa, Machir chapa, Gilead chate lah a ama insung cheh akon upa khat cheh ahung kipe lut paitauvin, Mose ahin lamkai dang chule Israel chate sung’a upa cheng komma ahung sei un ahi.

Now the family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one of the clans of Joseph, approached Moses and the leaders who were the heads of the Israelite families and addressed them,

2 Amahon hiti hin asei uve, Kapu heng’a Pathen in, hiche gamsung hi Israel chate alo diu chanvou a kihop teng u-leh; ka sopi’u Zelophehad chanu teho jong peh ding in ana sei jin ahi.

saying, “When the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, He also commanded him to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.

3 Amavang chanute hin Israel chate sung’a konna phung dang pasal hon kichen pi khah taleu, hiche apa uva konna goulo na’u gamsung pumpi hi kila mang jeng ding, ajinei na’u phungho toh chun agamsung hi ki gom ding, chu teng keiho goulo ding gamsung akon phabep kiladoh ding ahi tai.

But if they marry any of the men from the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the portion of our fathers and added to the tribe into which they marry. So our allotted inheritance would be taken away.

4 Chule Israel chate Jubilee chu hung lhung jeng ta jong leh, aji neina teho'u-toh'a chanute ho’u goulo na gam chu kigom ta ding, chu teng amaho goulo kiti phot chu kapu kapa teho’u akonna ki ladoh jeng ding ahi tai.

And when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to the tribe into which they marry and taken away from the tribe of our fathers.”

5 Chuin Mose’n jong Pakai, Pathen kamcheng akon Israel chate jah a thu apetan,

So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.

6 Zelophehad chanute chung chang a Pakai, Pathen thuseidoh chu hiche hi ahiye, Amaho hin adei deiyu akichenpi jeng theiyu ahi, ahinlah hiche akichen pidiu chu apa’u phung sung’a kon hi cheh ding ahi.

This is what the LORD has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.

7 Ajeh chu Israel chate akonna goulo hohi

No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 Hijeh achu Israel chanute akonna apa goulo chanvou chang hon apa phung sunga konna mi khat a kichenpi teitei ding, hitia chu Israel chate hon apu, apa te khang uva pat a-goulo chengse’u chu Amaho jeng in achenpi jing diu ahi.

Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 Goulo gamsung hi phungkhat akonna phung dang a ki chonlut thei louhel ding, ajeh chu Israel chaten ama ama chenna gamsung cheh chu kituptah a akiven kol cehh ding ahi, tia thu napeh ding ahiye.

No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”

10 Zelophehad chanute sen jong Pakai, Pathen thupeh bang bang in abolsoh kei tauvin ahi.

So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, Noah, Zelophehad chanute abonchauvin apa sopi pasal hotoh aki cheng tauve.

Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side.

12 Amaho chu Joseph chapa Manasseh chate phungsung jeng ngah ajinei taovin, agoulo gam sung’u abonchan apau phung sung ah aum jing tan ahi.

They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.

13 Dan thupeh hohi Moab phaicham, Jordan vadung pang Jericho khopia Pakai, Pathen in Israel chate chonna dan dinga Mose henga thupeh ana nei hochu ahi.

These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
