Nambar 17
1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the LORD spake unto 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 unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.
3 Levi ih cunghet pongah Aaron ih ahmin to tarik ah; acaeng zaehoikung maeto mah cunghet maeto tawnh boih han oh.
And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.
4 To cunghetnawk to lok kang thuihaih ahmuen, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ih hnukung hmaa ah suem ah.
And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with 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 come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
6 To pongah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah lokthuih pae, zaehoikungnawk boih mah anih han cunghet maeto paek o boih, acaeng zaehoikung maeto mah, cunghet maeto sin o, sangqum boih ah cunghet hatlai hnetto oh; Aaron ih cunghet doeh to ih cunghetnawk thungah athum toeng.
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their 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 tent of the testimony.
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 went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bare ripe 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 out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man 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 unto Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings against me, that they die not.
11 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak boih.
Thus did Moses: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
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 spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
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 cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, dieth: shall we perish all of us?
