Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
Aron hah pato nateh ahni koe, hmaiim hah na paang toteh, hmaiim sari touh ni hmaiimkhok hmalah a ang awh han, telah atipouh.
3 And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
A dei e patetlah Aron ni a sak. BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah hmaiimkhok a hmalah a ang hanlah hmaiim teh a paang.
4 And this [is] the construction of the candlestick: [it is] solid, golden—its stem, and its lilies—all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Hete hmaiimkhok teh sui hoi mek dêi sin e doeh. BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a meilam a kamnue sak e patetlah a sak pouh.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
6 Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them.
Levihnaw hah Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi aloukcalah hmoun nateh, kamthoung sak.
7 And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean.
Ahnimouh a kamthoung nahanelah, hettelah na sak han. Ahnimouh tak dawk thoungnae tui hah kaheisin nateh, a takbuem muen koung ngaw naseh, a khohna pâsu awh vaiteh, kamthoung naseh.
8 And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
Maitotanca buet touh hoi, tavai thuengnae a kanui e satui hoi kalawt e lat sak loe. Yon thuengnae maitotanca buet touh na ceikhai han.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Levihnaw hah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a ceikhai vaiteh, Isarel catoun tamimaya teh cungtalah pâkhueng.
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
Hahoi teh, Levihnaw hah BAWIPA hmalah na thokhai awh han. Isarel catounnaw ni Levihnaw lathueng a kut a toung pouh vaiteh,
11 And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord.
Aron ni Levihnaw hah BAWIPA thaw a tawk awh thai nahan, Isarel catounnaw koe kahek thuengnae BAWIPA hmalah a poe awh han.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.
Levihnaw ni maitotanca e a lû dawk a kut a toung awh vaiteh, Levihnaw han yontha nahanlah BAWIPA Cathut hmalah maito buet touh, hmaisawi thueng nahanlah buet touh na sak han.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and thou shalt give them as a gift before the Lord.
Levihnaw hah Aron hoi a canaw hmalah a kangdue vaiteh, BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae patetlah na sak han.
14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
Hot patetlah, Isarel catoun thung hoi Levihnaw hah na hmoun vaiteh, Levihnaw teh kai ka ham lah ao han.
15 And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify them, and present them before the Lord.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, Levihnaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a kâen awh han. Nang ni ahnimanaw thoung sak hanlah, kahek thuengnae patetlah na sak pouh han.
16 For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel that open every womb.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel miphun thung dawk hoi ahnimanaw hah na rawi vaiteh, kai koe koung na poe han. Isarel miphunnaw ni hmaloe a khe awh e camin yueng lah ka la toe.
17 For every first-born among the children of Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
Izipnaw e caminnaw kai ni ka thei navah, Isarel miphun dawk teh tami thoseh, saring thoseh, caminnaw pueng hah kai kama hanlah ka thoung sak dawkvah, caminnaw pueng teh kai ka ham doeh.
18 And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children of Israel.
Hahoi Isarel catounnaw dawk camin hanlah Levihnaw teh kai ni ka la toe.
19 And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw nigh to the holy things.
Ahnimanaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koevah, Isarelnaw ni a tawk awh hane thaw a tawk awh thai nahan thoseh, Isarel miphunnaw ni kathoungpounge hmuen koe a cei awh toteh, Lacik dawk hoi a hlout awh thai nahan, yontha sak nahan hai thoseh, Isarel miphun thung hoi Levihnaw teh Aron hoi a canaw hah ka poe telah a ti.
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
Levihnaw hanlah BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe a dei e patetlah Mosi hoi Aron koehoi Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah hanelah Levihnaw ni a sak awh han.
21 So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
Ahnimanaw ni thoungnae a hmu awh teh, amamae khohna a pâsu awh. Aron ni hai BAWIPA hmalah kahek thuengnae BAWIPA koe yonthanae ahnimouh han a sak teh a thoung awh.
22 And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Hahoi teh, Levihnaw hmalah Aron hoi a canaw hmalah a thaw tawk hanlah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thung a kâen. Levihnaw kong dawk BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh koe a sak pouh.
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
24 This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness.
Hetheh Levihnaw a coungnae doeh. Kum 25 touh lathueng ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh han.
25 And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
Kum 50 ka phat e ni thaw a kâhat han, tawk awh mahoeh toe.
26 And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shalt thou do to the Levites in their charges.
Hatei, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim khetyawtnae dawkvah, a hmaunawnghanaw a kabawp han. Thaw teh tawk mahoeh. Het patetlah Levihnaw a thaw kong dawk, laideitâtueng pouh loe telah atipouh.
