Ajehchu, Pathen in Mose kom hitihin ana seiyin ahi,
49 “Don't register the tribe of Levi; don't count them in the census with the other Israelites.
Min najihlut teng Levite hi najihlut loubeh ding, Israel mite lah a nasim tha loubeh ding ahi.
50 Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle and of the Testimony, as well as all its furniture and everything it contains. They are the ones responsible for carrying the Tabernacle and all its items. They are to care for it, and to make their camp around it.
Kikhop khomna ponbuh le aki mangcha thilho aboncha a Levite mopohna napehding, nachena chan uva Ponbuh le aman chah chengse aboncha amahon apoh uva, akimvella ngahmun semtoh thoa alhacha a pang ding ahiuve.
51 When it's time to move the Tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and when it's time to make camp, the Levites shall put it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
Kikhop khomna ngahmun chon phat alhin teng, Levi chapate cheng in aphet lhah diu, hitia chu ngahmun nalhun teng uleh amahon thah sondoh kit diu, ama vang koi hileh phalna beiya kikhop khomna ponbuh ganailut behseh chan chu thiding ahi.
52 The Israelites are to make camp according to their tribal divisions, each person in their own camp under their own flag.
Phung jousen ama ama insung ponlap cheh utoh ngahmun akisem diu ahi.
53 But the Levites are to set up their camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony to stop anyone making me angry with the Israelites. The Levites are responsible for looking after the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
Israel pumpi chung a Pakai lunghan louna dinga Levi chapaten vang kitepna ponbuh kimvella ngahmun akisem cheh uva avetsui diu ahi. Hitia chu hiche ponbuh ventupna chu Levite mopohna hiding ahi.
54 The Israelites did everything that the Lord ordered Moses that they should do.
Hitichun Pathen in Mose henga athupeh bangtah chun Israel chaten emajouse aboltauvin ahi.
