Numbers 3
1 This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
Hetnaw heh, Sinai mon koehoi BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato navah, Aron hoi Mosi se nah a thut e doeh.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aron capanaw e a min teh, camin lah Nadab. Hahoi Abihu Eleazar hoi Ithamar doeh.
3 These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
Hetnaw heh vaihma hanlah satui awi e, vaihma thaw tawk hanlah hmoun e, Aron e capanaw e min doeh.
4 Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
Nadap hoi Abihu teh Sinai kahrawngum vah kathounghoehe hmai, BAWIPA hmalah thuengnae a sak roi navah, BAWIPA hmalah a due roi, ahnimouh roi teh capa tawn roi hoeh. Eleazar hoi Ithamar teh a na pa a hring navah vaihma thaw a tawk roi.
5 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
Levih miphun teh vaihma Aron koe cetkhai nateh, a thaw a tawk thai nahan, ahni koe awm naseh.
7 They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.
Ahnimouh ni lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah ama hoi kamkhuengnaw ni panki e patetlah thaw a tawk awh han.
8 They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
Hnopai pueng a khetyawt awh vaiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni a ham kawi e lah lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh han.
9 Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
Levihnaw teh Aron hoi a capanaw koevah, na poe awh vaiteh, Isarel catounnaw thung hoi ahnimouh hah na rawi awh vaiteh, kai koe ahnimouh na poe awh han.
10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”
Aron hoi a capanaw hah na pouk vaiteh, vaihma coungnae hah pou a pang awh han. Ahnimouh koe miphun louk bawk pawiteh, thei lah ao han, telah a ti.
11 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,
khenhaw! Levihnaw heh Isarel catounnaw thung hoi camin camoim hmaloe ka paawng hanelah kai kama roeroe ni Isarel catounnaw thung hoi ka lae lah ao teh, Levihnaw teh kaie lah ao awh han.
13 for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, caminnaw pueng teh kaie lah ao han. Izip ram vah caminnaw pueng ka thei navah, Isarelnaw pueng teh camin hoi tami hoi moithang hoi kai kama hanelah ka thoung sak e lah ao. Kai teh Jehovah doeh telah atipouh.
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
BAWIPA ni Sinai kahrawngum vah, Mosi hah a pato teh,
15 “Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”
Levih catounnaw hah a na pa imthung lahoi tongpa pueng thapa yung touh lathueng pueng teh koung na touk han atipouh.
16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.
Hot patetlah Mosi koe kâ a poe e BAWIPA lawk patetlah koung a touk pouh.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Levih catounnaw e min teh Gershon, Kohath, hoi Merari naw doeh.
18 These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
Gershon catoun imthungnaw e teh, Libni hoi Shimei doeh.
19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw e teh Amram, Izhar, Hebron hoi Uziel doeh.
20 And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.
Merari catoun imthungnaw teh, Mahli hoi Mushi doeh. Hetnaw heh a na pa imthung lahoi Levih catounnaw doeh.
21 From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.
Gershon teh Libni imthung hoi Shimei imthung kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Gershom catounnaw doeh.
22 The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.
Thapa yung touh hoi lathueng tongpa pueng a touk awh e teh 7500 touh a pha.
23 The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,
Gershon catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim a hnuklah kanîloumlah a roe awh han.
24 and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.
Gershonnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Lael capa Eliasaph han.
25 The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
Gershon catounnaw thaw teh, lukkareiim lemphu ramuk nahane hoi kamkhuengnae takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi,
26 the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.
thongma takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi khoungroe petkâkalup e hnonaw hoi, hawvah hnonaw pueng a tawk awh hanelah ao han.
27 From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.
Kohath teh Amram imthung, Izhar imthung, Hebron imthung hoi Uziel imthungnaw kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Kohath catounnaw doeh.
28 The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
Tongpa pueng thapa yung touh hoi lathueng hmuen kathoung ringnae koe tawk hanelah a poe e naw a touk awh navah 8600 a pha.
29 The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,
Kohath catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim akalah a roe awh han.
30 and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthung kahrawikung teh Uziel capa Elizaphan han.
31 Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.
Ahnimae thaw teh, thingkong hoi caboi hoi satui hmaiimkhok hoi, thuengnae hoi, hmuen kathoung koe thaw tawk nahane, hlaamnaw, lukkarei yap e hoi haw e thaw tawknae koe e hnopainaw pueng lah ao han.
32 The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
Hahoi vaihma Aron capa Eleazar teh Levihnaw kahrawikung a lû lah ao han. Hmuen kathoung karingkungnaw hah a hrawi han.
33 From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.
Merari teh Mahlinaw thung hoi Mushinaw imthung kakhekung lah ao. Hetnaw teh Merari imthungnaw doeh.
34 The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.
Tongpanaw pueng thapa yung touh lathueng a touk awh navah 6200 a pha.
35 The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.
Merari catounnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Abihail capa Zuriel doeh. Hetnaw teh lukkareiim atunglah a roe awh han.
36 The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,
Merari capa hoi a tawk han kawi lah pouk e teh lukkareiim tapang, pangkhek, khom, a tâphai kepnae, a hnopainaw hoi a thaw tawknae hnopai lah ao awh.
37 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.
Thongma petkâkalup lah khonaw teh, a kangdue nahane cemnaw pueng hoi a hetsinnae ruinaw hai a sak han.
38 Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.
Hothloilah lukkareiim kanîtholah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah ka roe e naw teh Mosi, Aron hoi a canaw han. Hmuen kathoung ringnae koe teh Isarel catounnaw a pankinae pueng koe a tawk awh han. Hatei alouke tami rek kahnai e awm pawiteh, thei lah ao han.
39 The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.
BAWIPA kâpoe e lahoi Levihnaw e a catoun tongpanaw thapa yung touh lathueng hoi Aron ni touk e naw teh 22, 000a pha awh.
40 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Isarel catounnaw thung dawk camin tongpa thapa yung touh lathueng pueng nâyittouh maw ka phat tie a min lahoi koung touk loe.
41 You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”
Hahoi Levihnaw hah Isarel catoun thung dawk hoi caminnaw yueng lah kai hanelah na la vaiteh, Levihnaw e saring hai, Isarel catounnaw e saring camin pueng e yueng lah kai hanlah na la han. Kai teh Jehovah doeh atipouh.
42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.
Mosi teh BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah Isarel catoun thung dawk caminnaw pueng hah a touk awh
43 The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.
A min phung e lahoi thapa yung touh lathueng tongpa camin pueng a touk awh e teh 22, 273 a pha.
44 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.
Isarel catoun camin yueng lah Levihnaw hah lat nateh, a saring yueng lah, Levihnaw e saring lat pouh. Levihnaw teh kaie lah ao awh han. Kai teh Jehovah doeh.
46 To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,
Levihnaw hlak vah, bet kapap e Isarel catoun camin 273 ratang nahanelah,
47 you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.
tami buet touh hane hmuen kathoung khingnae tangka patetlah shekel panga touh rip na la awh han. Hmuen kathoung khingnae shekel teh gerah 20 touh a pha.
48 Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”
Ka cawi e ratang nahan hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw na poe han telah a ti.
49 So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.
Hahoi Mosi ni Levihnaw ni a ratang awh hoeh e ratangnae hnopai hah a la.
50 He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
Isarel catoun caminnaw koehoi hnopainaw a la teh hmuen kathoung shekel 1365 a la pouh.
51 And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e BAWIPA lawk patetlah Mosi ni a ratangnae hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw a poe awh.
