Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They approached
1Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silofitati, ko e foha ʻo Hefeli ko e foha ia ʻo Kiliati, ko e foha ia ʻo Mekili ko e foha ia ʻo Manase, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa: pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefine; ko Mala, mo Noa, mo Hokila, mo Milika, mo Tilisa.
2the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,
2Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻonau pehē,
3“Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.
3“Naʻe mate ʻemau tamai ʻi he toafa, pea naʻe ʻikai kau ia ki he kakai naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ke angatuʻu kia Sihova ʻi he kakai ʻo Kola; ka naʻe mate ia ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai hano ngaahi foha.
4Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
4Pea ko e hā ʻe mole ai ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻemau tamai mei hono faʻahinga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai hano foha? Foaki mai kiate kimautolu ha tofiʻa ʻi he kāinga ʻo ʻemau tamai.
5So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
5Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻenau meʻa ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
6and the LORD answered him,
6¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
7“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
7ʻOku lea totonu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silofitati: ko e moʻoni te ke foaki kenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he kāinga ʻo ʻenau tamai; pea ke tuku ke hoko ʻae tofiʻa ʻo ʻenau tamai kiate kinautolu.
8Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
8Pea te ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, ka ʻoku ʻikai hano foha, te mou tuku ke hoko hono ʻofefine ki hono tofiʻa.
9If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
9Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻofefine, te mou tuku hono tofiʻa ki hono kāinga.
10If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
10Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai hano kāinga, te mou tuku hono tofiʻa ki he kāinga ʻo ʻene tamai.
11And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”
11Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha kāinga ʻo ʻene tamai, te mou toki tuku hono tofiʻa ki hono kāinga ʻoku na vāofi ʻi hono faʻahinga, pea te ne maʻu ia: pea ʻe tuku ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko e fono ʻoe fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.”
12Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.
12¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ni ko ʻApalimi, ʻo mamata ki he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
13After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;
13Pea ʻoka ke ka mamata ki ai, ʻe tānaki foki ko e ki ho kakai, ʻo hangē ko e tānaki ʻa ho taʻokete ko ʻElone.
14for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin.
14Koeʻuhi naʻa mo angatuʻu ki heʻeku fekau ʻi he toafa ʻo Sini, ʻi he vākē ʻae kakai, ke fakahikihiki au ʻi he vai ʻi honau ʻao:” ʻaia ko e vai ko Melipa ʻi Ketesi ʻi he toafa ʻo Sini.
15So Moses appealed to the LORD,
15¶ Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
16“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
16“Tuku ke fakanofo ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe laumālie ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ha tangata ke pule ki he kakai,
17who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
17ʻAia ʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu, pea muʻomuʻa mai ʻi heʻenau haʻu, pea ne tataki atu ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, pea tataki mai ʻe ia ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hangē ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hano tauhi.”
18And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
18¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie, pea ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia;
19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
19Pea tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē; pea ke tuku ʻae fekau kiate ia ʻi honau ʻao.
20Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
20Pea te ke tuku kiate ia mei ho ongoongolelei ʻoʻou, koeʻuhi ke talangofua ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
21He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”
21Pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea te ne kumi ha poto maʻana ʻi he fakaʻilo ʻae ʻUlimi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: tenau ʻalu atu ʻi heʻene folofola, pea tenau foki mai ʻi heʻene folofola, ko ia, pea mo e kakai ʻo ʻIsileli fakataha mo ia, ʻio ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
22Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
22Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: ʻo ne ʻave ʻa Siosiua, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē:
23and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.
23Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻa hono nima kiate ia, mo ne lea kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
