Numbers 4
1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
2 “Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
Angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kaom kami baktih toengah, Levi acaeng ah kaom Kohath ih caanawk to kroek ah,
3 men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak hanah, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpanawk to kroek boih ah.
4 This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
Kohath caanawk mah khetzawn ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im loe, ciimcai koek ahmuen ah oh.
5 Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
Ohhaih ahmuen angpuen o naah, Aaron hoi a caanawk to angzo o tih, nihcae mah a nuiah khuk ih kahni to khring o ueloe, hnukung ah kaom thingkhong to khuk o tih.
6 They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
To pacoengah tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o tih; to hmuen ih a nuiah rong kamiing kahni to khuk o ueloe, cung to angmah ih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
7 Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.
Caboi nui ih takaw to kahni kamiing hoiah kraeng o tih, to ah sabaenawk, kathuk sabaenawk, naek han koi tui lawnhaih boengloengnawk, takawnawk to apet ai ah suem o tih;
8 And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
to ih hmuen nuiah kamling kahni to baih o tih; a nuiah tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o ueloe, cung to angmah ahmuen ah suem o tih.
9 They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
Kahni kamiing to la o ueloe, hmaithawk, hmaiim, hmai ataephaih taitaehnawk, hmai cenhaih boengloeng, hmaitui suekhaih boengloengnawk boih to khuk o tih; to tiah nihcae mah toksah o tih.
10 Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
To pacoengah to ih laom sabaenawk boih to tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah ayaw o hmoek pacoengah, aputhaih to sah o tih.
11 Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
Sui hmaicam nuiah kahni kamiing to baih o ueloe, tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o tih; aputhaih cung to angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
12 They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
Hmuenciim thungah toksak naah hmuenmaenawk to la o boih ueloe, kahni kamiing hoiah ayaw o tih; tuipui caham hin hoi khuk o pacoengah, aputhaih to sah o tih.
13 Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
Nihcae mah hmaicam pong ih maiphunawk to takhoek o ueloe, a nuiah kahni kamling hup to khuk o tih.
14 and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.
To hmaicam ah toksak naah kangaih hmuennawk, laom sabaenawk, moi banghaih sumnawk, moi thunhaih sumnawk, hmai kamngaeh sohhaih sum kangphaeknawk, tui bawhhaih boengloengnawk hoi hmaicam ih laom sabaenawk to a nuiah suem o boih tih; to hmuen to tuipui caham hin hoiah khuk o ueloe, aputhaih cung to a ohhaih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
Ataihaih ahmuen angpuen han oh naah, Aaron hoi a caanawk loe, hmuenciim hoi hmuenciim ih laom sabaenawk to khuk o pacoengah, to hmuennawk to aput hanah, Kohath ih caanawk angzo o tih; toe nihcae loe kaciim hmuen to sui o mak ai; sui o nahaeloe dueh o tih. Hae hmuennawk loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Kohath ih caanawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh.
16 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar mah sak han koi tok loe hmaitui, hmai thlaek koi hmuihoih, ni thokkruek paek ih cang hoi lu bawhhaih situi, kahni im hoi a thung ih hmuennawk boih, hmaicam hoi a thung ih laom sabaenawk boih to khenzawn tih, tiah a naa.
17 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
Kohath imthung takoh to Levi acaeng thung hoiah takhoe ving hmah;
19 In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
to pongah kaciim koek ahmuen ah caeh hoi naah, duekhaih thung hoiah loih moe, hing thai hanah, hae tiah nihcae han sah paeh; Aaron hoi a caanawk to hmuenciim thungah akun o hmaloe ueloe, kaminawk boih mah sak han koi hmuen hoi tok to tapraek pae tih:
20 But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
toe ciimcai hmuennawk kraeng nathuem ah, to hmuennawk khet hanah Kohath ih caanawk a thungah caehsak hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
21 And the LORD said to Moses,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
22 “Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
Gershon caanawk doeh angmacae ih acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kami ih ahmin to la ah;
23 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah kaom kaminawk angaihaih toksak hanah, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpanawk to kroek boih ah.
24 This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
Gershon imthung takoh mah sak moe, aput han koi hmuennawk loe hae tiah oh;
25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
kahni im ah payang ih kahni, rangpui amkhuenghaih kahni im, a nui khuk ih kahninawk, a nui khukhaih tuipui caham ahinnawk, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah payang ih kahninawk,
26 the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.
kahni im hoi hmaicam taeng ih longhmaa ah payang ih kahni, longhma thok taengah payang ih kahni, toksak naah patoh ih quinawk hoi kangaih hmuennawk loe Gershon ih caanawk mah sah o boih tih.
27 All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.
Gershon acaengnawk mah sak ih hmuen hoi aput han koi hmuennawk boih loe, Aaron hoi a caanawk mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah o tih; nihcae mah aput han koi hmuenawk boih to thui pae o tih.
28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
Hae hmuennawk loe Gershon imthung takoh mah, kami amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah sak han koi tok ah oh; nihcae toksakhaih loe Aaron capa qaima Ithamar mah khenzawn tih.
29 As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
Merari ih caanawk doeh angmacae ih acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kaom kaminawk baktih toengah kroek ah;
30 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak han kangzo, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa to kroek boih ah.
31 This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,
Nihcae mah kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im to sak moe, aput o han koi tok loe, kahni im sakhaih thingnawk, pakhang ih thingnawk, tungnawk hoi tung padoethaih hmuennawk,
32 and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
longhma taeng boih ah kaom tungnawk, tung padoethaih hmuennawk, sumnawk, quinawk, toksak naah patoh ih hmuennawk to sah o boih tih; nihcae mah aput ih hmuennawk to pakuem moe, kroek boih han oh.
33 This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
Hae hmuen loe Aaron capa qaima Ithamar mah khethaih tlim ah, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Merari ih caanawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh, tiah a naa.
34 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
Mosi, Aaron hoi amkhueng kaminawk zaehoikung kacoeh koek mah, angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh khosakhaih baktih toengah, Kohath ih caanawk to kroek o.
35 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
Kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak han kangzo, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa boih,
36 And those numbered by their clans totaled 2,750.
angmacae imthung takoh ih kami to kroek o boih naah, sang hnet, cumvai sarih, qui pangato oh o.
37 These were counted from the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron numbered them according to the command of the LORD through Moses.
Hae kaminawk loe Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron mah amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak hanah kaom Kohath ih caa ah oh o.
38 Then the Gershonites were numbered by their clans and families,
Gershon ih caanawk loe angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh to kroek o boih.
39 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
Amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak han kangzo, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa boih,
40 And those numbered by their clans and families totaled 2,630.
angmacae ih acaeng hoi imthung takoh to kroek o boih naah, sang hnet, cumvai taruk, qui thumto oh o.
41 These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.
Hae kaminawk loe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron mah kroek ih, kahni im ah toksah koi kami ah oh o.
42 And the Merarites were numbered by their clans and families,
Merari ih caanawk mah angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh to kroek o boih.
43 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
Kaminawk amkhuenghaih im ah toksak han kangzo kami saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa boih,
44 The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200.
angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh to kroek o boih naah, kami sang thum, cumvai hnetto oh o.
45 These were counted from the Merarite clans, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the LORD’s command through Moses.
Hae kaminawk loe Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron mah kroek ih Merari ih caa ah oh o.
46 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered by their clans and families all the Levites
Levi caanawk loe Mosi, Aaron hoi Israel zaehoikungnawk mah, angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh to kroek pae boih.
47 from thirty to fifty years old who came to do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting.
Kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak moe, aput han angzo saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa boih,
48 And the number of men was 8,580.
nihcae to kroek o boih naah, sang tazet, cumvai panga, qui tazetto oh o.
49 At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, kami boih mah sak o ih tok hoi aput koi tok to khet moe, nihcae ih milu to a kroek.
