Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
“Levi koca khui lamloh Kohath ca rhoek kah a lu te a napa rhoek imkhui neh a cako ah tae pah.
3 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter so as to stand and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil tah tingtunnah dap ah bitat saii ham caempuei la boeih kun saeh.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
Tingtunnah dap khuiah hmuencim kah hmuencim koek ah Kohath koca kah thothuengnah tah he coeng ni.
5 Aaron and his sons shall enter, when the camp is going to move, and they shall take down the veil, which hangs before the entrance, and they shall wrap the ark of the testimony in it,
Lambong a thoeih vaengah Aaron neh anih koca rhoek te kun uh saeh. Te vaengah himbaiyan dongkah hniyan te dul uh saeh lamtah laipainah thingkawng te khuk thil saeh.
6 and they shall cover it further with a veil of violet skins, and they shall extend over it a cloth made entirely of hyacinth, and they shall draw in the bars.
Te phoeiah a soah a sing la saham pho neh dah saeh. A so khit ah himbai a thim duk a phaih phoeiah a cung rholh uh saeh.
7 Likewise, they shall wrap the table of the presence in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall place with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls for pouring out libations; the bread shall be always on it.
A hmai caboei soah himbai thim a phaih tih a soah bael neh yakbu, tuisi-am neh tuisi tui-um tawn uh saeh. Buh khaw a soah phat om saeh.
8 And they shall extend over it a cloth of scarlet, which they shall further cover with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Te rhoek soah himbai hlarhui a lingdik phaih saeh lamtah saham pho imphu neh te te khuk uh saeh. Te phoeiah a cung te rholh uh saeh.
9 They shall take also a cloth of hyacinth, with which they shall cover the lampstand with the lamps, and its tongs, and the candle snuffers, and all the vessels of oil, which are necessary for the preparation of the lamps.
Te vaengah himbai thim lo uh saeh lamtah vangnah hmaitung neh a hmaithoi khaw, a paitaeh neh a baelphaih, a situi am boeih khaw khuk uh saeh. Te rhoek nen te a taengah thotat uh saeh.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Amah te neh a hnopai boeih te saham pho imphu neh cun uh saeh lamtah cunghloeng dongah buen uh saeh.
11 And certainly they shall wrap the golden altar in a hyacinth garment, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Sui hmueihtuk soah khaw himbai thim neh khuk saeh. Te phoeiah te te saham pho imphu neh khuk uh saeh lamtah a cung rholh uh saeh.
12 All the vessels with which they minister in the Sanctuary they shall wrap in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Thohtatnah hnopai cungkuem te khuen uh saeh lamtah hmuencim ah te nen te thotat uh saeh. Himbai thim khuila a sang tih saham pho imphu neh a khuk phoeiah cunghloeng dongah buen uh saeh.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
Te phoeiah hmueihtuk te kol uh saeh lamtah a soah himbai thim phaih uh saeh.
14 and they shall place it with all the vessels which they use in its ministry, that is, receptacles for fire, small hooks as well as forks, larger hooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Te phoeiah a thohtat vaengkah a hnopai cungkuem te, a taengkah baelphaih ciksum neh hmaisoh khaw, baelcak neh hmueihtuk kah hnopai cungkuem te a soah tloeng uh saeh. Te soah saham pho a sing dah uh saeh lamtah a cung te rholh uh saeh.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped the Sanctuary and its vessels at the dismantling of the camp, then the sons of Kohath shall enter, so as to carry what has been wrapped. And they shall not touch the vessels of the Sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Kohath concerning the tabernacle of the covenant.
Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh hmuencim neh hmuencim kah hnopai cungkuem a khuk te a coeng tih rhaehhmuen puen ham vaengah a hnuk ah koh pah ham Kohath koca rhoek kun uh saeh. Tedae hnocim te ben uh boel saeh duek uh ve. He rhoek he tingtunnah dap khuiah Kohath koca rhoek kah hnophueih la om saeh.
16 Over them shall be Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to whom belongs the care of the oil to prepare the lamps, and the incense compound, and the sacrifice, which is offered continually, and the oil of unction, and whatever pertains to the service of the tabernacle, and all the vessels that are in the Sanctuary.”
Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar loh hmaivang situi neh bo-ul botui khaw, hnin takuem kah khocang neh koelhnah situi aka cawhkung, dungtlungim pum neh a khuikah boeih, hmuencim neh a hnopai aka cawhkung la om saeh,” a ti nah.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
“Kohathi cako koca te Levi khui lamloh hnawt boeh.
19 But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall enter, and they shall assign the work of each one, and they shall determine what each one ought to carry.
Tedae he he amih ham na saii daengah ni hmuencim kah hmuencim taengla a mop uh vaengah hing uh vetih a duek uh pawt eh. Aaron neh anih koca rhoek a kun vaengah amih te hlang khat rhip kah a thothuengnah ham neh a hnophueih ham khueh uh saeh.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
Tedae hmuencim te hmuh ham yap kun uh boel saeh, tarha duek uh ve,” a ti nah.
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
Gershon koca kah a lu te khaw a napa rhoek imkhui lamloh a cako ah tae pah.
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Capa kum sawmthum lamloh a so hang loh kum sawmnga ca hil soep pah. Amih te tingtunnah dap ah caempuei la thohtat ham neh thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham boeih ha pawk uh saeh.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
He thothuengnah he Gershon cako kah a thothueng neh a hnophueih la om saeh.
25 to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the veil over everything, and the violet tent, which hangs at the entrance of the tabernacle of the covenant,
Te dongah dungtlungim kah himbaiyan neh tingtunnah dap kah a imphu khaw, a so lamkah saham imphu neh tingtunnah dap thohka kah himbaiyan khaw,
26 the curtains of the atrium, and the veil at the entrance, which is before tabernacle. Everything that pertains to the altar, the cords, and the vessels of the ministry
vongup kah imbang neh dungtlungim dongkah vongtung vongka thohka kah himbaiyan neh hmueihtuk kaepvai kah a rhuimal khaw, a thothuengnah hnopai cungkuem khaw phuei uh saeh. Te boeih te amih ham khueh pah lamtah thothueng uh saeh.
27 the sons of Gershon shall carry, under the orders of Aaron and his sons. And so shall each one know to which burden he ought to surrender.
Aaron neh a capa kah ol bangla Gershon koca rhoek kah thothuengnah cungkuem dongah a hnophueih boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih te om pah saeh. Te phoeiah amih te a hutnah bangla a hnophueih boeih te soep pah.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gershonites, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
He he tingtunnah dap ah Gershon koca cako kah thothuengnah coeng ni. Amih hut te khosoih Aaron capa Ithamar kut hmuiah om saeh.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
Merari koca te a cako ah a napa rhoek imko neh soep pah.
30 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years, of all who enter to the office of their ministry and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
Amih te kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil soep pah. Amih te tingtunnah dap ah thothuengnah neh thothueng ham caempuei la boeih kun saeh.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Tingtunnah dap ah amih kah thothuengnah boeih la he he a hnophueih neh a hutnah la om saeh. Dungtlungim kah a longlaeng neh a thohkalh khaw, a tung neh a buenhol khaw,
32 also the columns surrounding the atrium, with their bases and tent pegs and cords. They shall accept by number all the vessels and articles, and so shall they carry them.
vongtung kaepvai kah tung neh a buenhol khaw, a hlingcong neh a rhuimal khaw, a hnopai boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih khaw, amih kah hnophueih neh a hutnah hnopai te a ming neh soep pah.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry for the tabernacle of the covenant. And they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.”
Tingtunnah dap kah a thothuengnah boeih dongah Merari koca cako thothuengnah he khosoih Aaron capa Ithamar kut hmuiah om saeh,” a ti nah.
34 Therefore, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of the assembly, took a census of the sons of Kohath, by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Te dongah Moses, Aaron neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei rhoek loh Kohathi koca kah a cako rhoek neh a napa rhoek imkhui khaw,
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil, tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah caempuei la aka pawk boeih te a soep.
36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
Amih te a cako la a soep vaengah thawng hnih ya rhih neh sawmnga lo uh.
37 This is the number of the people of Kohath, who enter the tabernacle of the covenant. These Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Tingtunnah dap ah tho aka thueng Kohathi cako boeih he a soep vaengah Moses kut dongkah BOEIPA ol bangla Moses neh Aaron loh a soep.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Gershon koca te a cako la a napa rhoek imkhui lamloh,
39 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter so as to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah caempuei la aka kun boeih te a soep.
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
Anmih te a cako la a napa imkhui neh a soep vaengah thawng hnih ya rhuk sawmthum lo uh.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Tingtunnah dap ah aka thotat Gershon koca cako boeih he a soep vaengah BOEIPA ol bangla Moses neh Aaron loh a soep.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Te dongah Merari koca cako te a napa rhoek imkhui neh a cako te a tae.
43 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter to fulfill the rituals of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang kum sawmnga ca hil, tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah caempuei la aka kun boeih te a tae.
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
Amih te a soep vaengah a cako ah thawng thum neh yahnih lo.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Merari koca cako a soep vaengah Moses kut dongkah BOEIPA ol bangla Moses neh Aaron loh a soep.
46 All who were counted from the Levites, and whom, by name, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, counted by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Moses, Aaron neh Israel khoboei rhoek loh a soep Levi te a cako neh a napa rhoek imkhui khaw boeih a soep uh.
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,
tongpaca kum sawmthum neh a so hang kum sawmnga ca hil, thothuengnah dongkah thohtatnah neh tingtunnah dap ah hnophueih dongkah thohtatnah dongah thohtat ham aka pawk boeih khaw,
48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
a soep vaengah amih te thawng rhet ya nga sawmrhet lo.
49 Moses took a census of them, according to the word of the Lord, each one according to their office and their burdens, just as the Lord had instructed him.
BOEIPA ol bangla amih te Moses kut ah a soep. Hlang khat rhip kah a thothuengnah ham neh a hnophueih ham khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla a tae uh.
