Lampahnah 17
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Israel carhoek te thui pah lamtah amih taeng lamkah congholte lo. Conghol te a napa imkhui tarhing la a khoboei boeih taeng lamkah khaw lo saeh. A naparhoek imkhui tarhing kah congholte hlai nit lo ni. Te vaengah hlangte a ming neh a conghol dongah daek pah.
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 Aaron ming te Levi conghol soah daek lamtah a naparhoek imsawn kah a lu pakhat ham conghol pakhat van saeh.
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 Te rhoek te tingtunnah dap khuikah olphong hmai ah khueh pah. Terhoek ah ni nangmih ham kan tuentah coeng.
And you shall put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known 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 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.
6 Te dongah Moses loh Israel carhoek 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 tarhingah conghol hlai nit lo tih Aaron kah conghol khaw amih kah conghol lakli ah om.
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 Moses loh conghol te olphong dap kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hang.
And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 A vuen ah Moseste 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.
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 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.
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 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Boekoek kocarhoek taengah miknoek la tuemkoi ham Aaron kah conghol te olphong hmai ah khueh laeh. Te daengah nih amih kah kohuetnahte ka mikhmuh lamloh paa vetih a duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
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 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Mosesloha ngai tih a saii van.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
12 Israel ca rhoek loh Moses te a voekuh tih, “M'pal uh ni he, mamih boeih m'milh uh coeng, m'milh uh coeng.
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
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.
Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
