Numbers 17
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff.
“Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah amih taeng lamkah conghol te lo. Conghol te a napa imkhui tarhing la a khoboei boeih taeng lamkah khaw lo saeh. A napa rhoek imkhui tarhing kah conghol te hlai nit lo ni. Te vaengah hlang te a ming neh a conghol dongah daek pah.
3 And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for [each] head of their fathers' houses.
Aaron ming te Levi conghol soah daek lamtah a napa rhoek imsawn kah a lu pakhat ham conghol pakhat van saeh.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Te rhoek te tingtunnah dap khuikah olphong hmai ah khueh pah. Te rhoek ah ni nangmih ham kan tuentah coeng.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against you.
Te vaengah ka coelh hlang te ana om vetih anih te a conghol duei ni. Te vaengah nangmih rhoi taengah aka nul, amih Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te kamah taeng lamloh ka hnop ni,” a ti nah.
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves.
Te dongah Moses loh Israel ca rhoek te a thui pah tih amih kah khoboei boeih loh khoboei pakhat ham conghol pakhat, khoboei pakhat ham van te conghol pakhat van te a taengla a paek uh. A napa rhoek kah imsawn tarhing ah conghol hlai nit lo tih Aaron kah conghol khaw amih kah conghol lakli ah om.
7 And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
Moses loh conghol te olphong dap kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hang.
8 And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds.
A vuen ah Moses te olphong dap khuila a kun vaengah Levi imkhui kah Aaron conghol tah tarha aka duei pah. Rhaiphuelh khaw phuelh. Te phoeiah tamlaep bangla a khooi pah tih noe bangla a thaih pah.
9 And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff.
Moses loh conghol boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh Israel ca boeih taengla a khuen tih a sawt uh phoeiah hlang boeih a conghol te a loh uh.
10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Boekoek koca rhoek taengah miknoek la tuemkoi ham Aaron kah conghol te olphong hmai ah khueh laeh. Te daengah nih amih kah kohuetnah te ka mikhmuh lamloh paa vetih a duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
11 And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh a ngai tih a saii van.
12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish.
Israel ca rhoek loh Moses te a voek uh tih, “M'pal uh ni he, mamih boeih m'milh uh coeng, m'milh uh coeng.
13 Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?
BOEIPA kah dungtlungim te aka paan la aka paan boeih tah duek ni. Pal hamla khum uh mai sih a eya?” a ti uh.
