Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
Levihnaw thung dawk Kohath capanaw a catoun lahoi a imthung lahoi,
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 30 lathueng kum 50 totouh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw ka tawk hane naw teh koung a touk awh.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
Hete kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk kathoungpounge hno hoi kâkuen lah Kohath casaknaw e thaw lah ao.
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,
Roenae koehoi a kampuen awh tangkuem vah, Aron hoi a capa a tho vaiteh, hmuen kathoung lukkareiim yap e hah a la vaiteh lawkpanuesaknae thingkong hah a ramuk han.
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.
Hahoi phaivuen hoi a ramuk vaiteh, kamthim hni hoi bout a ramuk han. Hahoi a tâphai hah a hrawt han.
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.
Caboi dawk kamthim hni a phai vaiteh, tongben, pacen, awi nahane kawlungnaw hoi, vaiyei hruek vaiteh.
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.
Hot teh hni paling a ramuk awh vaiteh, saram pho hoi a ramuk vaiteh, a tâphai a hrawt awh han.
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.
Hmaiimkhok hoi hawvah hno hane hmaiim, paitei hoi paitei tanae manang, satuiumnaw hah kamthim hni hoi a ramuk han.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Hote hno hoi a puengcangnaw teh saram pho hoi ramuk vaiteh kâkayawtnae dawk a tâ han.
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 khoungroe hah kamthim hni hoi ramuk vaiteh, saram pho hoi a ramuk han. Hahoi a tâphai na hrawt han.
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.
Hmuen kathoung koe thaw tawknae hnonaw pueng hah, koung a la vaiteh, kamthim hni hoi a taoung awh han. Saram pho hoi a ramuk awh han, kâkayawtnae a hrawt awh han.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
Khoungroe dawk e hraba hah kathoungcalah kawn vaiteh, avan vah hni paling a phai awh han.
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.
Avan vah thaw a tawknae hlaamnaw pueng, hmaisawinae, cingco, tawkso ka kaw e, maroi, hoi thuengnae khoungroe dawk a ta awh han. Saram pho hoi a ramuk awh vaiteh, a tâphai kâkayawtnae a hrawt awh han.
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.
Hahoi Aron hoi a capanaw ni, a hmuen kathoung poung hoi hmuen kathoung hnopainaw koung a ramuk awh vaiteh, a onae hmuen a kampuen awh nah karawitawi Kohath capa ni kâkayawt hanelah a tho awh han. Hatei kathounge hno hah tek awh mahoeh. Tek awh boipawiteh, a due awh han. Hetnaw heh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hno, Kohath capanaw ni a tawk awh hane doeh.
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.”
Hahoi vaihma Aron capa Eleazar capa a tawk hane kawi teh, paang hane satui hoi hmuitui pout laipalah, tavai poenae, awi e satui hoi lukkareiim thung kaawm e hnonaw pueng, hmuen kathoung hoi hnopainaw ring hanelah ao telah a ti.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
Kohath catoun imthungnaw hah Levihnaw thung dawk hoi kahmat sak hanh.
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.
Hatei kathoungpounge hno hah ouk a hnai toteh, dout laipalah a hring awh nahan, hot hoi kâkuen lah het heh sak loe. Aron hoi a capa hah a kâen vaiteh, a tawk awh hane thaw hah amamouh lengkaleng pouk pouh naseh.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
Hatei, kathoungpounge hno khet hanlah dongdeng hai kâen hanh awh. Hoehpawiteh a due awh han telah atipouh.
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
Gershon capanaw hoi a imthungkhu a catounnaw abuemlah koung a touk awh.
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
kum 30 hoi a lathueng a lathueng kum 50 totouh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe thaw ka tawk hane naw hah koung a touk awh.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
Gershon catounnaw a tawk awh hanelah a kamngai awh e teh,
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,
Lukkareiim dawk lukkarei yap e, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe hni yap e hah,
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
Kalupnae hni yap e, kalupnae longkha koe yap e, bawknae rim thuengnae khoungroe teng kaawm e, arui hoi a hnopainaw pueng a phu awh vaiteh, tawksak a ngai e pueng a tawk awh han.
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.
Gershon capanaw a tawk awh nah tangkuem koe Aron hoi a capanaw ni thaw a poe awh e patetlah a tawk awh han.
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.
Hetheh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim Gershon capa imthungnaw e thaw a tho. Ahnimae thaw hah, vaihma Aron capa Ithamar kâtawnae rahim ao awh han.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
Merari capanaw kong dawk a catounnaw abuemlahoi imthungkhu lahoi koung na touk a han.
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.
Kum 30 hoi a lathueng lah kum 50 totouh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh hanelah ka kâen hane pueng na touk awh han.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk, ka ceitakhai han naw e thaw teh, hethah doeh. Bawknae im tapang, thing a tâphai hai, a khom, a kanâ,
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.
thongma tumdumnae khom, a kanâ, cem, hoi ruinaw, hote hnopainaw pueng hoi alouke hnonaw kâkayawt hanelah, a min lahoi amamae ham na pouk pouh han.
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.”
Hetheh vaihma Aron capa Ithamar kâtawnnae rahim vah, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hanelah Merari capa imthungnaw niyah a sak awh hane thaw la doeh ao telah atipouh.
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,
Hahoi Mosi hoi Aron hoi tamimaya kahrawikungnaw ni Kohath capa a catoun abuemlahoi imthung abuemlahoi,
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.

36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
A catoun abuemlahoi a touk awh e teh, 2, 750 a pha.
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.
Hotnaw teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw ka tawk thai e Kohath casaknaw a touk awh e Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah Mosi hoi Aron ni a touk roi e doeh.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Gershon capanaw kamkhuengnae lukkareiim tawk ka tawk hane teh, a na pa im hoi imthung abuemlahoi doeh.
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 30 touh hoi a lathueng kum 50 totouh touk e lah ao.
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
A imthung abuemlahoi a napanaw imthung abuemlah a touk awh e teh 2, 630 touh a pha.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Hetnaw teh Gershon capanaw e casaknaw kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thaw katawknaw lah BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah Mosi hoi Aron ni a touk e naw doeh.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Hahoi Merari capa ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw ka tawk hane teh a napanaw imthung hoi amamouh imthungnaw seng doeh.
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 30 hoi a lathueng kum 50 totouh touk e lah ao.
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
A na pa hoi imthung abuemlah a touk awh e teh, 3, 200 touh a pha.
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.
Hetnaw heh Merari capanaw a touk awh e teh Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah Mosi hoi Aron ni a touk roi e doeh.
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,
Levihnaw thaw tawk hanelah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim phu hanelah, hoi ouk ka phawt e a napanaw imthung lahoi a imthungkhu abuemlahoi
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,

48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
A touk awh e naw teh, 8, 580 touh a pha
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.
Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah tami pueng ni a tawk awh hane teh, a ham awh e hoi ka kâvan lah a touksin awh. BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah a touk awh.
