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 heads of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came to Moses, the chiefs and the heads of families of the children of Israel being present,

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.

And said, The Lord gave orders to my lord to make distribution of the land as their heritage to the children of Israel: and my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the heritage of Zelophehad, our brother, 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.

Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.

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 at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.

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

So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.

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 the order of the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: The Lord says, Let them take as their husbands whoever is most pleasing to them, but only among the family of their father's tribe.

7 Ajeh chu Israel chate akonna goulo hohi

And so no property will be handed from tribe to tribe among the children of Israel; but every one of the children of Israel will keep the heritage of his father's tribe.

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.

And every daughter owning property in any tribe of the children of Israel is to be married to one of the family of her father's tribe, so that every man of the children of Israel may keep the heritage 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.

And no property will be handed from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its heritage.

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

So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord gave orders to Moses:

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

For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, took as their husbands the sons of their father's brothers:

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.

And were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and their property was kept in the tribe of their father's family

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 laws and the orders which the Lord gave to the children of Israel by Moses, in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho.
