1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Namah ham cak olueng panit saii lamtah cakben boh thil. Te rhoi te nang ham rhaengpuei tingtunnah neh lambong hlahnah lam khaw om saeh.
“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
3 Te te a ueng uh vaengah tah rhaengpuei boeih he tingtunnah dap thohka ah nang taengla tuentah uh saeh.
When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 Tedae pakhat bueng a ueng uh atah Israel thawng khat kah boeilu, khoboei rhoek te nang taengah tuentah uh saeh.
But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
5 Tamlung pacuek na ueng vaengah khothoeng ah aka rhaeh caem rhoek te hlah uh saeh.
When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
6 Tamlung pabae neh a ueng bal vaengah tuithim ah aka rhaeh caem te hlah uh saeh. Amih hlahnah ham tamlung neh ueng uh saeh.
When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
7 Tedae hlangping te tingtun sak ham vaengah na ueng uh akhaw yuhui uh boeh.
To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
8 Te vaengah Aaron koca khosoih rhoek loh olueng te ueng uh saeh lamtah nangmih ham neh na cadilcahma ham khaw kumhal kah khosing la om saeh.
Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
9 Na khohmuen ah rhal taengah caemtloek la na caeh uh vaengah khaw, puen na cak vaengah khaw olueng te ueng uh. Tedae BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na poek uh daengah ni na thunkha taeng lamloh n'khang eh.
When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
10 Na kohoenah hnin ah khaw, na khoning vaengah khaw, na hlasae tuung vaengah khaw na hmueihhlutnah neh nangmih kah rhoepnah hmueih te olueng neh ueng thil lamtah na Pathen mikhmuh ah nangmih ham poekkoepnah la om saeh. Kai Yahweh he nangmih kah Pathen ni,” a ti nah.
Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
