1 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Isarel catounnaw pato nateh a miphun lahoi a napanaw imthung, Isarelnaw hlaikahni touh koe kahrawikungnaw lengkaleng poe hanelah sonron hlaikahni touh na la vaiteh, amamae min hah sonron dawk lengkaleng thut pouh.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name on his rod.
3 Hahoi Levih sonron dawk, Aron min na thut han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa imthung kahrawikung hanelah sonron buet touh lah rip ao han.
You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
4 Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim, lawkpanuesaknae hmalah na ta han.
You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 Kai ni ka rawi e sonron teh a dawn a pei han. Hattoteh, nangmouh roi yon ka pen e Isarelnaw e phuenangnae teh ka takhoe pouh han, telah a ti.
It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."
6 Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel catounnaw hah a pato teh, kahrawikungnaw ni a imthungkhu yueng lah kahrawikung buet touh ni sonron buet touh rip a sin teh, sonron hlaikahni touh hah a poe teh, Aron e sonron hai hotnaw rahak vah a bawk van.
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their ancestral houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 Mosi ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA hmalah sonron hah a ta.
Moses laid up the rods before YHWH in the tent of the testimony.
8 A tangtho vah Mosi teh kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawkvah, a cei teh, Levih imthung e yueng lah Aron e sonron hah a dawn teh, a pei a muem, a pei a pei teh almond paw a paw.
It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and look, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9 Mosi ni BAWIPA hmalae sonronnaw pueng hah Isarel catounnaw pueng koe a ceikhai. A khet awh teh amamae sonron hah lengkaleng a la awh.
Moses brought out all the rods from before YHWH to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 Oe BAWIPA ni, laikaroenaw koe lah mitnout lah ao nahanelah, Aron e sonron hah lawkpanuesaknae kung koe tat leih. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnimae phuenangnae hah ka mithmu hoi kâhat vaiteh dout awh mahoeh, telah atipouh.
YHWH said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die."
11 BAWIPA ni Mosi lawk a thui e patetlah ahni ni a tarawi teh a sak.
Moses did so. As YHWH commanded him, so he did.
12 Isarel catounnaw ni Mosi koevah, koung kahma awh teh, koung ka due awh toe, koung rawk awh katang toe.
The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.
13 BAWIPA lukkareiim kâhnai pueng ni a due awh. Koung kahmat lah due awh han namaw telah ati awh.
Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of YHWH, dies. Will we all perish?"
