Lampahnah 8
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
2 “Aaron te voek lamtah amah taengah thui pah. Hmaithoi te namah loh hmaitung hmai a dan ah tok lamtah hmaithoi parhih la vang saeh,” a ti nah.
Speak unto Aaron, and thou shalt say unto him, —When thou lightest up the lamps, over against the front of the lampstand, shall the seven lamps give light.
3 Te dongah Aaron loh a ngai tangloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla hmaitung hmai kah a dan ah hmaithoi te a tok.
And Aaron did so, over against the front of the lampstand, lighted he up the lamps thereof, —As Yahweh commanded Moses,
4 He hmaitung dongkah kutngo he a kho lamloh a rhaiphuelh duela sui cakben a boh thil. Te kah cakben te khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a tueng a mueimae bangla hmaitung te a saii van.
Now, this, was the work of the lampstand—beaten work of gold both in the shaft thereof and in the flowers thereof, was it beaten work, according to the appearance which Yahweh caused to appear unto Moses, so, made he the lampstand.
5 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
6 “Levi te Israel ca khui lamloh lo lamtah caihcil laeh.
Take the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —and thou shalt purify them.
7 Amih caihcil ham vaengah he he amih ham saii pah. Amih te cangcai tui haeh thil lamtah a pum tom ah paihat caeh sak. Te phoeiah a himbai te suk uh saeh lamtah caihcil uh saeh.
And, thus, shalt thou do unto them, to purify them, sprinkle upon them sin-cleansing water, —then shall they, cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and shall wash their clothes and so make themselves pure.
8 Te vaengah saelhung ca dongkah vaito neh a khocang dongkah situi neh a thoek vaidam te khuen uh saeh. Te phoeiah saelhung ca dongkah vaito pabae tah boirhaem la khuen.
Then shall they take a choice young bullock, with the meal-offering thereof even fine meal overflowed with oil, —and a second choice young bullock, shalt thou take. as a sin-bearer.
9 Levi rhoek te tingtunnah dap hmai la khuen lamtah Israel ca rhoek te rhaengpuei la boeih tingtun sak.
Then shalt thou bring the Levites near, before the tent of meeting, —and shalt call together all the assembly of the sons of Israel;
10 Levi rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh la khuen lamtah Israel ca rhoek loh a kut te Levi soah tloeng uh saeh.
and shalt bring the Levites near before Yahweh, —and the sons of Israel shall lean their hands upon the Levites;
11 Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah Levi rhoek te Aaron loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng hmueih la thueng saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah thothuengnah dongah tho aka thueng la om uh saeh.
and Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel, —so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh.
12 Levi rhoek long khaw a kut te vaito lu soah tloeng uh saeh lamtah pumat te boirhaem la nawn saeh. Te phoeiah pumat te Levi rhoek ham aka dawth la BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah la nawn saeh.
And, the Levites, shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullocks; then make thou of the one a sin-bearer and of the other an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over the Levites.
13 Te vaengah Levi rhoek te Aaron mikhmuh neh anih koca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pai saeh lamtah amih te BOEIPA taengah thueng hmueih la thueng pah.
Thus shalt thou cause the Levites to stand before Aaron and before his sons, —thus shalt thou offer them as a wave-offering unto Yahweh;
14 Levi rhoek te Israel ca rhoek khui lamloh hoep tangloeng lamtah Levi rhoek te kamah taengah om uh saeh.
thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —thus shall the Levites become mine.
15 Te phoeiah tah Levi rhoek te tingtunnah dap ah thothueng ham kun uh saeh. Te vaengah amih te caihcil lamtah amih te thueng hmueih la thueng pah.
And after that, shall the Levites enter to do the labour of the tent of meeting, —so shalt thou purify them, and offer them as a wave-offering,
16 Israel ca khui lamloh amih te bung boeih kah cacuek yueng la kamah taengah m'pae rhoe m'pae saeh. Israel ca kah caming boeih te kamah ham ka loh coeng.
For, given, given, they are unto me, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth from among the sons of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17 Israel ca khui kah caming boeih he kamah ham ni. Egypt kho ah hlang khaw rhamsa khaw, caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni, amih te kamah ham ka ciim coeng.
For mine, is every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —on the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, did I hallow them unto me.
18 Levi rhoek te Israel ca rhoek khui kah caming boeih yueng la ka loh.
Therefore have I taken the Levites, —instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel;
19 Tingtunnah dap ah Israel ca rhoek kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham neh Israel ca rhoek ham aka dawth pah la, Israel ca khui lamloh Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengah ka paek te ni Levi taengah ka paek. Te daengah ni Israel ca loh hmuencim la a mop vaengah tlohthae loh Israel ca rhoek a cuk thil pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
therefore have I given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel, —so shall there be among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.
20 Te dongah Moses, Aaron neh Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih loh Levi rhoek ham a saii pah. A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Levi ham Moses a uen van bangla Israel ca rhoek loh amih ham te a saii uh tangloeng.
And Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the sons of Israel did thus unto the Levites, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses as touching the Levites, so, did the sons of Israel unto them.
21 Te phoeiah Levi rhoek te ciim uh tih a himbai te a suk uh. Aaron loh amih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng hmueih la a thueng. Amih caihcil sak ham te Aaron loh amih ham a dawth pah.
And the Levites accepted the cleansing from sin and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Yahweh, —and Aaron put a propitiatory-covering over them to make them pure.
22 Te phoeiah tah Levi rhoek te a thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham tingtunnah dap kah Aaron mikhmuh neh anih koca rhoek kah mikhmuh la pawk uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Levi rhoek ham te amamih taengah a saii van.
And after that, went the Levites in to do their laborious work in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons, —as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so, did they unto them.
23 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying;
24 “Levi ham he tah kum kul kum nga ca lamloh a so hang mah tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah khuiah caempuei la thotat ham kun saeh.
This is what concerneth the Levites, —from twenty-five years old and upwards, shall they enter to take rank in the host, for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting;
25 Tedae kum sawmnga ca lamlong tah caempuei lamloh mael saeh lamtah thothuengnah dongah khaw thotat voel boel saeh.
but from the age of fifty years, shall they retire from taking rank in the labour, and shall do laborious work no more;
26 Tedae tuemkoi ngaithuen ham te tingtunnah dap ah a manuca te bong saeh. Te phoeiah thothuengnah dongah amah a thotat ham ngawn moenih. Levi rhoek te amamih kah hutnah te khueh pah,” a ti nah.
yet shall they wait upon their brethren in the tent of meeting, by keeping charge, but laborious work, shall they not perform, —thus, shalt thou do unto the Levites, as touching their charges.
