Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.
He tah BOEIPA loh Sinai tlang ah Moses a voek hnin kah Aaron neh Moses rhuirhong ni.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron ca rhoek he a ming ah, Nadab te a caming tih Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests, on whom the holy oil was put, who were marked out as priests.
Khosoih Aaron ca rhoek he khosoih sak ham ming a koelh pah tih a kut ah a buem sak.
4 And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.
Tedae Nadab neh Abihu tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah duek rhoi. Sinai khosoek kah BOEIPA mikhmuh la imlang hmai a khuen dongah amih rhoi te ca khueh rhoi pawh. Te dongah Eleazar neh Ithamar a napa Aaron mikhmuh ah khosoih rhoi.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
Levi koca te khuen lamtah khosoih Aaron mikhmuh ah pai sak. Te vaengah a taengah thotat uh saeh.
7 In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;
Te vaengah anih kah tuemkoi neh tingtunnah dap hmai ah rhaengpuei boeih kah tuemkoi khaw, dungtlungim kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham khaw ngaithuen saeh.
8 And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.
Tingtunnah dap hnopai boeih neh im kah dungtlungim kah thothuengnah dongkah thothueng ham dongah Israel ca rhoek kah tuemkoi te ngaithuen uh saeh.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
Levi rhoek te Aaron taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah pae. Amih te Israel ca rhoek taeng lamloh a taengah pae rhoe pae saeh.
10 And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.
Aaron neh a capa rhoek te soep lamtah a khosoihbi te ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;
“Kai loh Levi te Israel ca rhoek khui lamloh, Israel ca rhoek bung kah cacuek caming boeih yueng ka loh coeng ne. Te dongah Levi rhoek he kamah taengah om saeh.
13 For all the first sons are mine; on the day when I put to death all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I took for myself every first male birth of man and beast. They are mine; I am the Lord.
Caming boeih kamah ham coeng dongah Egypt kho kah caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni Israel khuikah caming boeih te kamah ham ka ciim coeng. Hlang lamloh rhamsa khaw kai Yahweh kamah ham ni a om uh,” a ti nah.
14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,
15 Let all the children of Levi be numbered by their families and their fathers' houses; let every male of a month old and over be numbered.
Levi koca rhoek te a napa imko ah a huiko neh soep lamtah tongpa boeih hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tah soep thil,” a ti nah.
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah ol a uen bangla Moses loh amih te a soep.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Levi koca rhoek khui Gershon, Kohath neh Merari a ming om.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Gershon koca te a cako ah Libni neh Shimei he a ming thum van.
19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohath koca rhoek khaw a cako ah Amram, Izhar, Hebron neh Uzziel thum.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.
Merari koca rhoek khaw a cako ah Mahli neh Mushi om. Amih he a napa imkhui lamloh Levi koca la om uh.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Gershon lamloh Libni koca neh Shimei koca a om dongah amih rhoi he Gershon kah a huiko ni.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Amih kah a soep tarhing ah hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng rhih neh ya nga la a soep uh.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Gershon cako te dungtlungim kah tahael khotlak ben ah rhaeh uh.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Gershon kah a napa imkhui ah Lael capa Eliasaph te khoboei van.
25 In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,
Gershon koca loh Tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim neh dap imphu khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka himbaiyan khaw,
26 And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.
vongtung dongkah imbang neh vongtung thohka kah himbaiyan, dungtlungim ham neh hmueituk kaepvai ham, a thothuengnah cungkuem dongkah a rhuimal khaw hutnah saeh.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohath lamloh Amrami cako neh Izhari cako, Khebroni cako neh Ozzeli cako om tih amih he ni Kohathi cako coeng.
28 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were eight thousand, six hundred, who were responsible for the care of the holy place.
Hlangmi la, hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen ham thawng rhet neh ya rhuk omuh.
29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
Kohath ca rhoek tah a cako la dungtlungim kaep kah tuithim ah rhaeh uh.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Kohath cako kah a napa imkhui ah Uzziel capa Elizaphan he khoboei van.
31 In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.
Te vaengah amih loh thingkawng neh caboei khaw, hmaitung neh hmueihtuk khaw, hmuencim kah hnopai khaw a hutnah. Amih te himbaiyan neh a thothuengnah cungkuem dongah thotat uh.
32 Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.
Levi khoboei rhoek kah khoboei, khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen rhoek aka cawhkung ni.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Merari lamloh Makhali cako neh Musihe cako tih amih te Merari koca rhoek van.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
A hlangmi la, tongpa hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te thawng rhuk neh ya hnih la a soep uh.
35 The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.
Merari cako kah a napa imkhui ah Abihail capa Zuriel te khoboei tih dungtlungim kaep kah tlangpuei ah rhaeh uh.
36 And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,
Te vaengah Merari ca rhoek kah a hutnah dungtlungim a longlaeng neh a thohkalh, a tung neh a buenhol, a hnopai boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih aka soepkung ni.
37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
Vongtung phai kah tung neh a buenhol khaw, a hlingcong neh a rhuimal khaw a hutnah.
38 And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.
Dungtlungim hmai kah khothoeng neh, tingtunnah dap hmai khocuk ah aka rhaeh Moses, Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh Israel ca kah hutnah yueng la rhokso kah tuemkoi ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh.
39 All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.
Levi te boeih a soep hil Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA ol bangla a soep. Amih koca te hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng kul hnih louh.
40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Israel ca khuiah tongpa caming, hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te soep lamtah a hlangmi ming te khoem pah.
41 And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Israel ca rhoek lamkah caming boeih yueng la Levi, Israel ca rhoek kah rhamsa caming boeih yueng la Levi kah rhamsa te kai Yahweh kamah ham lo,” a ti nah.
42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh Israel ca rhoek kah caming boeih te a soep.
43 Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
Te vaengah tongpa caming aka om hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te, a ming neh hlangmi te thawng kul thawng hnih neh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum la a soep uh.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.
“Israel ca rhoek khuikah caming boeih yueng la Levi, a rhamsa yueng la Levi kah rhamsa te loh pah. Levi rhoek te kai Yahweh kamah ham om uh saeh.
46 And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,
Te dongah tlansum khaw Levi soah te Israel ca caming lamloh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum neh poeng pah.
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
Hlangmi pakhat ham te shekel la shekel panga, panga van lo lamtah hmuencim kah shekel tah gerah pakul loh pah.
48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla na paek vaengah amih kah tlansum te poeng pah,” a ti nah.
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Te dongah Levi kah a lat soah aka poeng rhoek taeng lamkah tlansum tangka te Moses loh a loh.
50 From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;
Israel ca caming taeng lamloh tangka te hmuencim shekel ah thawng khat ya thum sawmrhuk panga a doe.
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA ol tarhing ah ni Moses loh tlansum tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla a paek.
