And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Israel kaminawk khaeah hae hae thui paeh; ampanawk ih acaeng zaehoikungnawk khae hoi acaeng maeto naah cunghet maeto, acaeng hatlai hnetto khae hoiah cunghet hatlai hnetto la ah loe, cunghet pongah kami ih ahmin to tarik boih ah.
Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod.
3 Levi ih cunghet pongah Aaron ih ahmin to tarik ah; acaeng zaehoikung maeto mah cunghet maeto tawnh boih han oh.
And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod [for each]: they shall give [them] according to the tribe of the house of their families.
4 To cunghetnawk to lok kang thuihaih ahmuen, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ih hnukung hmaa ah suem ah.
And you shall put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to you.
5 Ka qoih kami ih cunghet loe tadok tacawt tih; to pacoengah loe Israel kaminawk mah na nuiah laisaephaih to ka dipsak han boeh, tiah a naa.
And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.

And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him a rod [each], for one chief a rod, according to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [was] in the midst of the rods.
7 Mosi mah to ih cunghetnawk to hnukung kahni imthung ih Angraeng hmaa ah suek.
And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 Khawnbang ah Mosi hnukung kahni imthung ah akun naah, khenah, Levi imthung takoh ah kaom Aaron ih cunghet loe tadok tacawt, aqam tacawt tahang moe, apawk pawk pacoengah, almond thaih to athaih.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds.
9 To naah Mosi mah Angraeng hmaa ih cunghet to Israel kaminawk hma sinh pae boih; nihcae mah khet o moe, angmacae ih cunghet to lak o boih.
And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod.
10 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron ih cunghet to hnukung hmaa ah sin ah loe, to ah suem let ah, to cunghet loe lok tahngai ai kaminawk acoe paekhaih angmathaih ah om tih; to naah ni nihcae mah ka nuiah laisaep o haih to na boengsak tih, to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae loe dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die.
11 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak boih.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
12 Israel kaminawk mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, aicae loe a duek o tangtang boeh; aicae loe anghmat boeh, aicae loe anghmat o boih boeh!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
13 Mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng ih kahni im ah angzo kami loe dueh tih; aicae loe a dueh o boih tih boeh maw? tiah a naa o.
Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
