¹Then 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.

¹Saß xyânkeb lix têpal li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés cuanqueb ôb li ixk rîtzßineb rib. Eb li ôb chi ixk aßin, aßaneb lix rabin laj Zelofehad. Aßaneb aßin lix cßabaßeb: lix Maala, lix Noa, lix Hogla, lix Milca ut lix Tirsa. Laj Zelofehad, aßan li ralal laj Hefer. Ut laj Hefer, aßan li ralal laj Galaad. Ut laj Galaad, aßan li ralal laj Maquir. Laj Maquir, aßan li ralal laj Manasés. Ut laj Manasés, aßan li ralal laj José.

²And 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,

²Eb li ôb chi ixk, li rîtzßineb rib, queßcuulac chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo ut queßxakli chiru laj Moisés, laj Eleazar laj tij, ut chiruheb li nequeßcßamoc be ut chiruheb ajcuiß li chßutchßûqueb aran ut queßxye reheb:

³Our 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.

³—Li kayucuaß quicam saß li chaki chßochß. Aßan mâcuaß jun saß xyânkeb li queßoquen chirix laj Coré li queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß. Li kayucuaß quicam ban xban li mâc li quixbânu aßan. Mâ jun li ralal.

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

⁴¿Cßaßut nak tâsachekß xcßabaß li kayucuaß yal xban nak mâ jun li ralal quicuan? Tâqßue li kachßochß saß xyânkeb li rechßalal li kayucuaß, chanqueb.

⁵And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

⁵Ut laj Moisés quixpatzß re li Dios cßaßru tixbânu.

⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶Li Kâcuaß quixsume laj Moisés ut quixye re:

⁷The daughters of Zelophehad speak 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 unto them.

⁷—Yâl li yôqueb chixyebal lix rabin laj Zelofehad. Tâqßue lix chßochßeb saß xyânkeb li rechßalal lix yucuaß. Qßue li chßochß reheb li xcßul raj lix yucuaßeb.

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

⁸Ut tâye ajcuiß reheb laj Israel nak cui junak cuînk tâcâmk ut mâ jun li ralal cuan, li chßochß li quixcßul tâcanâk chokß re lix rabin.

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

⁹Ut cui mâ jun lix rabin cuan, li chßochß aßan tâcanâk chokß reheb li ras ut li rîtzßin.

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

¹⁰Cui mâ jun li ras malaj ut li rîtzßin, li chßochß aßan tâcanâk chokß reheb li ras ut li rîtzßin li yucuaßbej.

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

¹¹Ut cui mâ jun li ras ut mâ jun li rîtzßin lix yucuaß, li chßochß aßan tâcanâk chokß re li rechßalal. Aßin jun li chakßrab tento teßxbânu junelic eb laj Israel joß quinye re laj Moisés. Lâin li Kâcuaß, chan.

¹²And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

¹²Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés: —Tattakekß saß xbên li tzûl Abarim ut tâcuil li naßajej li xinqßue reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel.

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

¹³Nak acak xacuil li naßajej lâat tatcâmk ut toxâtauheb lâ xeßtônil yucuaß, joß nak quicam laj Aarón lâ cuas.

¹⁴For 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.

¹⁴Tatcâmk xban nak saß cuibal quekßet lin chakßrab saß li chaki chßochß Zin nak eb laj Israel quineßxcuechßi. Lâat incßaß xaqßue inlokßal chiruheb li tenamit nak xinqßue li haß reheb, chan. (Aßan quicßulman nak li haß qui-el saß li sakônac saß li naßajej Cades li cuan saß li chaki chßochß Zin.)

¹⁵And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,

¹⁵Laj Moisés quixye re li Kâcuaß:

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

¹⁶—At Kâcuaß, lâat li nacatqßuehoc ke li kayußam. Nintzßâma châcuu nak tâxakab junak li cuînk chi cßamoc be chiruheb li tenamit aßin.

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

¹⁷Li cuînk aßan tâxic chi ubej chi cßamoc be chiruheb nak teßxic yalak bar. Incßaß taxak teßcanâk lâ tenamit joß eb li carner li mâcßaß aj ilol reheb, chan laj Moisés.

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

¹⁸Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés: —Laj Josué li ralal laj Nun, aßan cuan lin musikß riqßuin. Tâqßue lâ cuukß saß xjolom ut tâxakab chi cßamoc be chiruheb li tenamit.

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

¹⁹Tâcßam riqßuin laj Eleazar laj tij, ut tâxakab chiru ut chiruheb ajcuiß chixjunileb laj Israel. Ut lâat tâqßue li cßanjel saß xbên.

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

²⁰Lâat tâqßue xcuanquil chiruheb li tenamit re nak eb aßan teßxbânu li cßaßru tixye.

²¹And 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.

²¹Laj Josué tâxic riqßuin laj Eleazar laj tij ut tixpatzß re cßaßru tixbânu. Ut laj Eleazar tixsicß li cßaßru nacuaj riqßuin li Urim. Laj Josué, aßan li tâtaklânk saß xbêneb laj Israel riqßuin chixjunil li cßaßru teßxbânu, chan li Kâcuaß.

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

²²Laj Moisés quixbânu li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß. Quixcßam laj Josué ut quixxakab chiru laj Eleazar ut chiruheb chixjunileb laj Israel.Quixqßue li rukß saß xjolom laj Josué ut quixxakab saß xcßanjel joß quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß.

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

²³Quixqßue li rukß saß xjolom laj Josué ut quixxakab saß xcßanjel joß quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß.
