Numbers 17
1 The Lord told Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “Tell the Israelites to bring twelve walking sticks, one from the leader of each tribe. Write the name of each man on the walking stick,
Isarel catounnaw pato nateh a miphun lahoi a napanaw imthung, Isarelnaw hlaikahni touh koe kahrawikungnaw lengkaleng poe hanelah sonron hlaikahni touh na la vaiteh, amamae min hah sonron dawk lengkaleng thut pouh.
3 and write Aaron's name on the walking stick of the tribe of Levi, because there has to be a walking stick for the head of each tribe.
Hahoi Levih sonron dawk, Aron min na thut han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa imthung kahrawikung hanelah sonron buet touh lah rip ao han.
4 Place the walking sticks in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony where I meet with you.
Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim, lawkpanuesaknae hmalah na ta han.
5 The walking stick that belongs to the man I choose will sprout buds, and I will put a stop to the Israelites' constant complaints against you.”
Kai ni ka rawi e sonron teh a dawn a pei han. Hattoteh, nangmouh roi yon ka pen e Isarelnaw e phuenangnae teh ka takhoe pouh han, telah a ti.
6 Moses explained this to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a walking stick, one for each of the leaders of their tribes. So there were twelve walking sticks including the one belonging to Aaron.
Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel catounnaw hah a pato teh, kahrawikungnaw ni a imthungkhu yueng lah kahrawikung buet touh ni sonron buet touh rip a sin teh, sonron hlaikahni touh hah a poe teh, Aron e sonron hai hotnaw rahak vah a bawk van.
7 Moses placed the walking sticks before the Lord in the Tent of the Testimony.
Mosi ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA hmalah sonron hah a ta.
8 The next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron's walking stick that represented the tribe of Levi, had sprouted and developed buds, flowered and produced almonds.
A tangtho vah Mosi teh kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawkvah, a cei teh, Levih imthung e yueng lah Aron e sonron hah a dawn teh, a pei a muem, a pei a pei teh almond paw a paw.
9 Moses took all the walking sticks from the presence of the Lord and showed them to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man collected his own walking stick.
Mosi ni BAWIPA hmalae sonronnaw pueng hah Isarel catounnaw pueng koe a ceikhai. A khet awh teh amamae sonron hah lengkaleng a la awh.
10 The Lord told Moses, “Put Aaron's walking stick back in front of the Testimony, to be kept there as a reminder to warn anyone who wants to rebel, so that you may stop their complaining against me. Otherwise they'll die.”
Oe BAWIPA ni, laikaroenaw koe lah mitnout lah ao nahanelah, Aron e sonron hah lawkpanuesaknae kung koe tat leih. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnimae phuenangnae hah ka mithmu hoi kâhat vaiteh dout awh mahoeh, telah atipouh.
11 Moses did what the Lord ordered him to do.
BAWIPA ni Mosi lawk a thui e patetlah ahni ni a tarawi teh a sak.
12 Then the Israelites came and told Moses, “Can't you see we're all going to die? We'll be destroyed! We're all going to be killed!
Isarel catounnaw ni Mosi koevah, koung kahma awh teh, koung ka due awh toe, koung rawk awh katang toe.
13 Anyone who dares to approach the Tabernacle of the Lord will die. Are we all going to be completely wiped out?”
BAWIPA lukkareiim kâhnai pueng ni a due awh. Koung kahmat lah due awh han namaw telah ati awh.
