Numbers 3
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
He tah BOEIPA loh Sinai tlang ah Moses a voek hnin kah Aaron neh Moses rhuirhong ni.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Aaron ca rhoek he a ming ah, Nadab te a caming tih Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
Khosoih Aaron ca rhoek he khosoih sak ham ming a koelh pah tih a kut ah a buem sak.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
Tedae Nadab neh Abihu tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah duek rhoi. Sinai khosoek kah BOEIPA mikhmuh la imlang hmai a khuen dongah amih rhoi te ca khueh rhoi pawh. Te dongah Eleazar neh Ithamar a napa Aaron mikhmuh ah khosoih rhoi.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
Levi koca te khuen lamtah khosoih Aaron mikhmuh ah pai sak. Te vaengah a taengah thotat uh saeh.
7 and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Te vaengah anih kah tuemkoi neh tingtunnah dap hmai ah rhaengpuei boeih kah tuemkoi khaw, dungtlungim kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham khaw ngaithuen saeh.
8 And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Tingtunnah dap hnopai boeih neh im kah dungtlungim kah thothuengnah dongkah thothueng ham dongah Israel ca rhoek kah tuemkoi te ngaithuen uh saeh.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
Levi rhoek te Aaron taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah pae. Amih te Israel ca rhoek taeng lamloh a taengah pae rhoe pae saeh.
10 And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
Aaron neh a capa rhoek te soep lamtah a khosoihbi te ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
“Kai loh Levi te Israel ca rhoek khui lamloh, Israel ca rhoek bung kah cacuek caming boeih yueng ka loh coeng ne. Te dongah Levi rhoek he kamah taengah om saeh.
13 for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
Caming boeih kamah ham coeng dongah Egypt kho kah caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni Israel khuikah caming boeih te kamah ham ka ciim coeng. Hlang lamloh rhamsa khaw kai Yahweh kamah ham ni a om uh,” a ti nah.
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,
15 Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
Levi koca rhoek te a napa imko ah a huiko neh soep lamtah tongpa boeih hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tah soep thil,” a ti nah.
16 And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah ol a uen bangla Moses loh amih te a soep.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Levi koca rhoek khui Gershon, Kohath neh Merari a ming om.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.
Gershon koca te a cako ah Libni neh Shimei he a ming thum van.
19 And the sons of Kohath according to their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohath koca rhoek khaw a cako ah Amram, Izhar, Hebron neh Uzziel thum.
20 And the sons of Merari according to their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
Merari koca rhoek khaw a cako ah Mahli neh Mushi om. Amih he a napa imkhui lamloh Levi koca la om uh.
21 Of Gershon, the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
Gershon lamloh Libni koca neh Shimei koca a om dongah amih rhoi he Gershon kah a huiko ni.
22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, those that were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
Amih kah a soep tarhing ah hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng rhih neh ya nga la a soep uh.
23 The families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.
Gershon cako te dungtlungim kah tahael khotlak ben ah rhaeh uh.
24 And the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Gershon kah a napa imkhui ah Lael capa Eliasaph te khoboei van.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting was: the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the curtain of the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Gershon koca loh Tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim neh dap imphu khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka himbaiyan khaw,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the entrance to the court, which surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof for all its service.
vongtung dongkah imbang neh vongtung thohka kah himbaiyan, dungtlungim ham neh hmueituk kaepvai ham, a thothuengnah cungkuem dongkah a rhuimal khaw hutnah saeh.
27 And of Kohath, the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohath lamloh Amrami cako neh Izhari cako, Khebroni cako neh Ozzeli cako om tih amih he ni Kohathi cako coeng.
28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, who kept the charge of the sanctuary.
Hlangmi la, hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen ham thawng rhet neh ya rhuk omuh.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Kohath ca rhoek tah a cako la dungtlungim kaep kah tuithim ah rhaeh uh.
30 And the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Kohath cako kah a napa imkhui ah Uzziel capa Elizaphan he khoboei van.
31 And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, and the curtain, and all that belongs to its service.
Te vaengah amih loh thingkawng neh caboei khaw, hmaitung neh hmueihtuk khaw, hmuencim kah hnopai khaw a hutnah. Amih te himbaiyan neh a thothuengnah cungkuem dongah thotat uh.
32 And the prince of princes of the Levites was Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: he had the oversight of them that kept the charge of the sanctuary.
Levi khoboei rhoek kah khoboei, khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen rhoek aka cawhkung ni.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
Merari lamloh Makhali cako neh Musihe cako tih amih te Merari koca rhoek van.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
A hlangmi la, tongpa hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te thawng rhuk neh ya hnih la a soep uh.
35 And the prince of the father's house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They encamped on the side of the tabernacle northward.
Merari cako kah a napa imkhui ah Abihail capa Zuriel te khoboei tih dungtlungim kaep kah tlangpuei ah rhaeh uh.
36 And the charge of the sons of Merari consisted in the oversight of the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its bases, and all its furniture, and all that belongs to its service,
Te vaengah Merari ca rhoek kah a hutnah dungtlungim a longlaeng neh a thohkalh, a tung neh a buenhol, a hnopai boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih aka soepkung ni.
37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pegs, and their cords.
Vongtung phai kah tung neh a buenhol khaw, a hlingcong neh a rhuimal khaw a hutnah.
38 And those who encamped before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, who kept the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
Dungtlungim hmai kah khothoeng neh, tingtunnah dap hmai khocuk ah aka rhaeh Moses, Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh Israel ca kah hutnah yueng la rhokso kah tuemkoi ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Levi te boeih a soep hil Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA ol bangla a soep. Amih koca te hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng kul hnih louh.
40 And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Israel ca khuiah tongpa caming, hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te soep lamtah a hlangmi ming te khoem pah.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites, instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Israel ca rhoek lamkah caming boeih yueng la Levi, Israel ca rhoek kah rhamsa caming boeih yueng la Levi kah rhamsa te kai Yahweh kamah ham lo,” a ti nah.
42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh Israel ca rhoek kah caming boeih te a soep.
43 And all the firstborn males, by the number of the names, from a month old and upward, according to their numbering, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
Te vaengah tongpa caming aka om hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te, a ming neh hlangmi te thawng kul thawng hnih neh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum la a soep uh.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Jehovah.
“Israel ca rhoek khuikah caming boeih yueng la Levi, a rhamsa yueng la Levi kah rhamsa te loh pah. Levi rhoek te kai Yahweh kamah ham om uh saeh.
46 And for those that are to be ransomed, the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are in excess over the Levites,
Te dongah tlansum khaw Levi soah te Israel ca caming lamloh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum neh poeng pah.
47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, according to the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them, — twenty gerahs the shekel;
Hlangmi pakhat ham te shekel la shekel panga, panga van lo lamtah hmuencim kah shekel tah gerah pakul loh pah.
48 and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
Tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla na paek vaengah amih kah tlansum te poeng pah,” a ti nah.
49 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
Te dongah Levi kah a lat soah aka poeng rhoek taeng lamkah tlansum tangka te Moses loh a loh.
50 of the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five [shekels], according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Israel ca caming taeng lamloh tangka te hmuencim shekel ah thawng khat ya thum sawmrhuk panga a doe.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA ol tarhing ah ni Moses loh tlansum tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla a paek.
