Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke 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 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and 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 who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
Hetnaw heh vaihma hanlah satui awi e, vaihma thaw tawk hanlah hmoun e, Aron e capanaw e min doeh.
4 For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of 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 spoke to Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
6 “Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
Levih miphun teh vaihma Aron koe cetkhai nateh, a thaw a tawk thai nahan, ahni koe awm naseh.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
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 let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Hnopai pueng a khetyawt awh vaiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni a ham kawi e lah lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh han.
9 And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons 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 But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall 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 spoke to Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
12 “I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
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 every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to 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 spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
BAWIPA ni Sinai kahrawngum vah, Mosi hah a pato teh,
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
Levih catounnaw hah a na pa imthung lahoi tongpa pueng thapa yung touh lathueng pueng teh koung na touk han atipouh.
16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Hot patetlah Mosi koe kâ a poe e BAWIPA lawk patetlah koung a touk pouh.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Levih catounnaw e min teh Gershon, Kohath, hoi Merari naw doeh.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
Gershon catoun imthungnaw e teh, Libni hoi Shimei doeh.
19 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw e teh Amram, Izhar, Hebron hoi Uziel doeh.
20 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
Merari catoun imthungnaw teh, Mahli hoi Mushi doeh. Hetnaw heh a na pa imthung lahoi Levih catounnaw doeh.
21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
Gershon teh Libni imthung hoi Shimei imthung kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Gershom catounnaw doeh.
22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
Thapa yung touh hoi lathueng tongpa pueng a touk awh e teh 7500 touh a pha.
23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Gershon catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim a hnuklah kanîloumlah a roe awh han.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Gershonnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Lael capa Eliasaph han.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
Gershon catounnaw thaw teh, lukkareiim lemphu ramuk nahane hoi kamkhuengnae takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi,
26 the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.
thongma takhang dawk hane yaphni hoi khoungroe petkâkalup e hnonaw hoi, hawvah hnonaw pueng a tawk awh hanelah ao han.
27 The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,
Kohath teh Amram imthung, Izhar imthung, Hebron imthung hoi Uziel imthungnaw kakhekung doeh. Hetnaw heh Kohath catounnaw doeh.
28 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over 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 and they shall encamp toward the south side.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw teh lukkareiim akalah a roe awh han.
30 And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
Kohath catoun imthung kahrawikung teh Uziel capa Elizaphan han.
31 And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.
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 But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.
Hahoi vaihma Aron capa Eleazar teh Levihnaw kahrawikung a lû lah ao han. Hmuen kathoung karingkungnaw hah a hrawi han.
33 And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
Merari teh Mahlinaw thung hoi Mushinaw imthung kakhekung lah ao. Hetnaw teh Merari imthungnaw doeh.
34 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.
Tongpanaw pueng thapa yung touh lathueng a touk awh navah 6200 a pha.
35 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
Merari catounnaw e imthung kahrawikung teh Abihail capa Zuriel doeh. Hetnaw teh lukkareiim atunglah a roe awh han.
36 Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,
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 columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
Thongma petkâkalup lah khonaw teh, a kangdue nahane cemnaw pueng hoi a hetsinnae ruinaw hai a sak han.
38 Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.
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, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, 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: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
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 you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”
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 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Mosi teh BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah Isarel catoun thung dawk caminnaw pueng hah a touk awh
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred 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 spoke to Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
45 “Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall 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 But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
Levihnaw hlak vah, bet kapap e Isarel catoun camin 273 ratang nahanelah,
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
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 you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
Ka cawi e ratang nahan hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw na poe han telah a ti.
49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Hahoi Mosi ni Levihnaw ni a ratang awh hoeh e ratangnae hnopai hah a la.
50 in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
Isarel catoun caminnaw koehoi hnopainaw a la teh hmuen kathoung shekel 1365 a la pouh.
51 And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e BAWIPA lawk patetlah Mosi ni a ratangnae hnopai teh Aron hoi a capanaw a poe awh.
