Nambar 8
1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Aaron han, Hmaiim na thlaek naah, hmaiim sarihto paanghaih tung hmabang ah thlaek hanah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, then shall the seven lamps give light toward the body of the candlestick.
3 To naah Aaron mah to tiah a sak; Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih mah hmaiim tung hmabang ah hmaiim to angqoisak boih.
And Aaron did so; toward the body of the candlestick did he light its lamps; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 Hmaiim tung loe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah patuek ih krang baktih toengah a sak; takung hoi tadong khoek to sui hoiah a sak.
And this was the workmanship of the candlestick: It was of beaten gold, from the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so made he the candlestick.
5 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
6 Israel kaminawk salak hoi Levinawk to la ah loe, ciimsak ah.
Take the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Nihcae ciimsak hanah, hae tiah sah ah; ciimsakhaih tui to nihcae nuiah bawh ah; nganmui to aat o nasoe loe, khukbuennawk doeh pasuk o nasoe, to tiah ciimsak ah.
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle upon them water of purification, after they have let the razor pass over all their flesh, and then let them wash their clothes, and so shall they be clean.
8 Saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto, cang hoi angbawnhaih sak ih baktiah, situi hoiah atok tangcae ih takaw dip hoi nawnto, zae angbawnhaih sak hanah, kalah saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto sin nasoe.
And they shall take a young bullock with his meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
9 Levinawk to amkhuenghaih kahni im hmabang ah angzosak ah loe, Israel acaeng kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak boih ah;
And thou shalt bring near the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt assemble together the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Levinawk to Angraeng hmaa ah hoi ah; to naah Israel kaminawk mah nihcae nuiah ban koeng o tih.
And when thou hast brought near the Levites before the Lord, then shall the children of Israel lay their hands upon the Levites:
11 Israel kaminawk mah tathlang o ih hmuen ah, Aaron mah Levinawk to Angraeng khaeah tathlang tih; to naah nihcae mah Angraeng ih tok to sah o tih.
And Aaron shall make with the Levites a waving before the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may be ready to execute the service of the Lord.
12 Levi kaminawk mah maitaw lunawk nuiah ban koeng o tih; Levi kaminawk zae angbawnhaih sak hanah maitaw maeto, hmai hoi angbawnhaih sak hanah kalah maitaw maeto Angraeng khaeah paek ah.
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt prepare the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.
13 Levi kaminawk to Aaron hoi a caanawk hmaa ah angdoesak ah loe, nihcae to tathlang ih hmuen ah Angraeng khaeah paek ah.
And thou shalt place the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and make with them a waving before the Lord.
14 Hae tiah Levi kaminawk to Israel kaminawk salak hoi pahoe ah; Levinawk loe kai ih hmuen ah om o tih.
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15 To tiah Levinawk ciimsak hanah na tathlang pacoengah ni, nihcae loe amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah toksak han caeh o vop tih.
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: after thou shalt have cleansed them, and made with them a waving.
16 Nihcae loe Israel kaminawk thungah kai khaeah takpum angpaek boih kami ah oh o; zok thung hoi tacawt kami boih, Israel kaminawk ih calu boih zuengah nihcae to ka lak boeh.
For they are wholly given unto me from the midst of the children of Israel: instead of every one that openeth the womb, of every first-born of the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17 Kami maw, moi maw, Israel kaminawk ih calu boih loe kai ih ni; Izip prae ih calu to ka tamit boih naah, nihcae to kaimah hanah ka pahoe boeh.
For mine are all the first-born of the children of Israel, both of man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt did I sanctify them unto myself.
18 Israel kaminawk thung ih calu boih zuengah, Levinawk to ka lak boeh.
And I have taken the Levites, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
19 Israel kaminawk hmuenciim ah caeh o naah, nathaih kasae a tongh o han ai ah, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah tok to sak o moe, Israel caanawk akranghaih to a sak o hanah, Israel kaminawk thungah Levi kaminawk loe Aaron hoi a caanawk hanah tangqum ah ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
20 Levi kawng pongah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi, Aaron hoi Israel acaengnawk mah, Levinawk nuiah sak o.
And so did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites: according unto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
21 Levinawk loe ciimcai o moe, khukbuennawk to pasuk o; Aaron mah nihcae han paek ih hmuen baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah a paek moe, nihcae ciim hanah angbawnhaih to a sak pae.
And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron made with them a waving before the Lord: and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Levi kawng pongah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaminawk mah sak o; to pacoengah Levinawk loe kahni im ah toksak hanah, Aaron hoi a caanawk hma ah caeh o.
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 Levi kaminawk loe saning pumphae pangato akoep pacoengah ni, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak han caeh o vop tih; hae loe Levinawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh.
This shall be the rule for the Levites: From twenty and five years old and upward shall he go into the ranks to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation;
25 Toe saning qui pangato akoep naah loe, kahni im thungah toksakhaih hoiah anghak o tih; toksah o mak ai boeh;
And from the age of fifty years shall he go out of the ranks of the service, and he shall serve no more;
26 Angmacae nawkamyanawk hoi nawnto toksah o tih; toe nihcae loe toksah o mak ai boeh. Hae tiah Levi kaminawk mah sak han koi tok to sah paeh, tiah a naa.
But he shall wait on his brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, but the service shall he not perform; thus shalt thou do unto the Levites in the discharge of their office.
