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.
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 oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aron capanaw e a min teh, camin lah Nadab. Hahoi Abihu Eleazar hoi Ithamar doeh.
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.
Hetnaw heh vaihma hanlah satui awi e, vaihma thaw tawk hanlah hmoun e, Aron e capanaw e min doeh.
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.
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 And the Lord said to Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
Levih miphun teh vaihma Aron koe cetkhai nateh, a thaw a tawk thai nahan, ahni koe awm naseh.
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;
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 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.
Hnopai pueng a khetyawt awh vaiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni a ham kawi e lah lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh han.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
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 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.
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 And the Lord said to Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
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;
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 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.
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 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
BAWIPA ni Sinai kahrawngum vah, Mosi hah a pato teh,
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.
Levih catounnaw hah a na pa imthung lahoi tongpa pueng thapa yung touh lathueng pueng teh koung na touk han atipouh.
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
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 and Kohath and Merari.
Levih catounnaw e min teh Gershon, Kohath, hoi Merari naw doeh.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Gershon catoun imthungnaw e teh, Libni hoi Shimei doeh.
19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw e teh Amram, Izhar, Hebron hoi Uziel doeh.
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 catoun imthungnaw teh, Mahli hoi Mushi doeh. Hetnaw heh a na pa imthung lahoi Levih catounnaw doeh.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Gershon teh Libni imthung hoi Shimei imthung kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Gershom catounnaw doeh.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Thapa yung touh hoi lathueng tongpa pueng a touk awh e teh 7500 touh a pha.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Gershon catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim a hnuklah kanîloumlah a roe awh han.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Gershonnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Lael capa Eliasaph han.
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 catounnaw thaw teh, lukkareiim lemphu ramuk nahane hoi kamkhuengnae takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi,
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.
thongma takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi khoungroe petkâkalup e hnonaw hoi, hawvah hnonaw pueng a tawk awh hanelah ao han.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohath teh Amram imthung, Izhar imthung, Hebron imthung hoi Uziel imthungnaw kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Kohath catounnaw doeh.
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.
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 tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim akalah a roe awh han.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthung kahrawikung teh Uziel capa Elizaphan han.
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.
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 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.
Hahoi vaihma Aron capa Eleazar teh Levihnaw kahrawikung a lû lah ao han. Hmuen kathoung karingkungnaw hah a hrawi han.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Merari teh Mahlinaw thung hoi Mushinaw imthung kakhekung lah ao. Hetnaw teh Merari imthungnaw doeh.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
Tongpanaw pueng thapa yung touh lathueng a touk awh navah 6200 a pha.
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 catounnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Abihail capa Zuriel doeh. Hetnaw teh lukkareiim atunglah a roe awh han.
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,
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 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
Thongma petkâkalup lah khonaw teh, a kangdue nahane cemnaw pueng hoi a hetsinnae ruinaw hai a sak han.
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.
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 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.
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 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of 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 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.
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 had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Mosi teh BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah Isarel catoun thung dawk caminnaw pueng hah a touk awh
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.
A min phung e lahoi thapa yung touh lathueng tongpa camin pueng a touk awh e teh 22, 273 a pha.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
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.
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 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,
Levihnaw hlak vah, bet kapap e Isarel catoun camin 273 ratang nahanelah,
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is 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 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Ka cawi e ratang nahan hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw na poe han telah a ti.
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Hahoi Mosi ni Levihnaw ni a ratang awh hoeh e ratangnae hnopai hah a la.
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;
Isarel catoun caminnaw koehoi hnopainaw a la teh hmuen kathoung shekel 1365 a la pouh.
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e BAWIPA lawk patetlah Mosi ni a ratangnae hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw a poe awh.
