Lampahnah 17
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah amih taeng lamkah conghol te lo. Conghol te a napa imkhui tarhing la a khoboei boeih taeng lamkah khaw lo saeh. A napa rhoek imkhui tarhing kah conghol te hlai nit lo ni. Te vaengah hlang te a ming neh a conghol dongah daek pah.
Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.
3 Aaron ming te Levi conghol soah daek lamtah a napa rhoek imsawn kah a lu pakhat ham conghol pakhat van saeh.
And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.
4 Te rhoek te tingtunnah dap khuikah olphong hmai ah khueh pah. Te rhoek ah ni nangmih ham kan tuentah coeng.
And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.
5 Te vaengah ka coelh hlang te ana om vetih anih te a conghol duei ni. Te vaengah nangmih rhoi taengah aka nul, amih Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te kamah taeng lamloh ka hnop ni,” a ti nah.
And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.
6 Te dongah Moses loh Israel ca rhoek te a thui pah tih amih kah khoboei boeih loh khoboei pakhat ham conghol pakhat, khoboei pakhat ham van te conghol pakhat van te a taengla a paek uh. A napa rhoek kah imsawn tarhing ah conghol hlai nit lo tih Aaron kah conghol khaw amih kah conghol lakli ah om.
So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.
7 Moses loh conghol te olphong dap kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hang.
And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.
8 A vuen ah Moses te olphong dap khuila a kun vaengah Levi imkhui kah Aaron conghol tah tarha aka duei pah. Rhaiphuelh khaw phuelh. Te phoeiah tamlaep bangla a khooi pah tih noe bangla a thaih pah.
Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
9 Moses loh conghol boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh Israel ca boeih taengla a khuen tih a sawt uh phoeiah hlang boeih a conghol te a loh uh.
Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Boekoek koca rhoek taengah miknoek la tuemkoi ham Aaron kah conghol te olphong hmai ah khueh laeh. Te daengah nih amih kah kohuetnah te ka mikhmuh lamloh paa vetih a duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.
11 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh a ngai tih a saii van.
This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.
12 Israel ca rhoek loh Moses te a voek uh tih, “M'pal uh ni he, mamih boeih m'milh uh coeng, m'milh uh coeng.
And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.
13 BOEIPA kah dungtlungim te aka paan la aka paan boeih tah duek ni. Pal hamla khum uh mai sih a eya?” a ti uh.
Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
