Numbers 27

1 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.

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.

2 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,

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

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

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.

4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

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.

5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

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

6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is 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 to them.

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.

8 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man shall die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

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

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

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

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

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

11 And if his father shall have no brethren, then ye shall give inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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.

12 And the LORD said to Moses, go up to this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

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

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

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

14 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.

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.

15 And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah,

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

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

17 Who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

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.

18 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;

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

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

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

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

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

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: 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.

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.

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

Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak; Joshua to kawk moe, qaima Eleazar hoi rangpui hma ah angdoetsak.

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

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