Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in 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 first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron carhoek he a ming ah, Nadab te a caming tih Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
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 the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office 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 the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 'Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set 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 congregation 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 furniture 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 unto Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given unto him from the children of Israel.
Levirhoek te Aaron taeng neh a carhoek taengah pae. Amihte Israel carhoek taeng lamloh a taengah pae rhoe pae saeh.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, that they may keep their priesthood; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.'
Aaron neh a caparhoek te soep lamtah a khosoihbi te ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the LORD spoke unto 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 first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine;
“Kai loh Levi te Israel carhoek khui lamloh, Israel carhoek bung kah cacuek caming boeih yueng ka loh coeng ne. Te dongah Levi rhoek he kamah taengah om saeh.
13 for all the first-born are Mine: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto Me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast, Mine they shall be: I am the LORD.'
Caming boeih kamah ham coeng dongah Egypt kho kah caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni Israel khuikah caming boeihte kamah ham ka ciim coeng. Hlang lamloh rhamsa khaw kai Yahweh kamah ham ni a om uh,” a ti nah.
14 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,
15 'Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.'
Levi kocarhoek 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 word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah ol a uen bangla Moses loh amih te a soep.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

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 were to pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward;

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 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest being prince of the princes of the Levites, and having the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
Vongtung phai kah tung neh a buenhol khaw, a hlingcong neh a rhuimal khaw a hutnah.
38 And those that were to pitch before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary, even the charge for the children of Israel; and the common man that drew nigh was to 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 the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
Levite boeih a soep hil Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA ol bangla a soep. Amih koca te hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeihte thawng kul hnih louh.
40 And the LORD said unto 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 boeihte soep lamtah a hlangmi ming te khoem pah.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for Me, even the LORD, instead of all the first-born 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 carhoek 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 the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh Israel carhoek kah caming boeih te a soep.
43 And all the first-born males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
Te vaengah tongpa caming aka om hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te, a ming neh hlangmite thawng kul thawng hnih neh ya hnih sawmrhih pathumlaa soep uh.
44 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 'Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be Mine, even the LORD'S.
“Israel carhoek 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 as for the redemption of the two hundred and three score and thirteen of the first-born of the children of Israel, that are over and above the number of the Levites,
Te dongah tlansum khaw Levi soahte Israel ca caming lamloh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum neh poeng pah.
47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them — the shekel is twenty gerahs.
Hlangmi pakhat hamte shekel la shekel panga, panga van lo lamtah hmuencim kah shekel tah gerah pakul loh pah.
48 And thou shalt give the money wherewith they that remain over of them are redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons.'
Tangkate Aaron taeng neh anih kocarhoek taenglana paek vaengah amih kah tlansum te poeng pah,” a ti nah.
49 And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites;
Te dongah Levi kah a lat soah aka poeng rhoek taeng lamkah tlansum tangka te Mosesloha loh.
50 from the first-born of the children of Israel took he the money: a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after 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 redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
