Numbers 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Pakaiyin Mose henga aseiyin,
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.'
“Aaron in hiche hilchahna ho hi pe in: Thaomei khom sagi chu atunna a natundoh teng le, amalam ma thaomei khom mailah chu a salvah jou nading nading in tundoh in.”
3 And Aaron did so: he lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aron in chutichun aboltan ahi. Thaomei khom Sagiho chun amailam salvahna din Pakaiyin Mose henga asei bang bang chun atungdohtan ahi.
4 And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Hiche thaomei khom aboncha a, akhombul apat ajem kisemna changei chu sana kikhen a kisemdoh ahi. Hiche hi Pathen in Mose alim umding dol avetsah bangtah a kisem a ahi.
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga ahisei in,
6 'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Tun Israel mipi adangho jouse a kon in Levite tumkhen inlang, chonna dan ngai bang in sutheng sohkei in.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Kisuhtheng na tui chu nathinkhum ding, amaho apumpiuva atahsa uva amul jouseu kivoumui diu chule amanchah jing apon hou akisoptheng diu ahi. Hitia chu abolteng uleh chonna dol a atheng a ahitauve.
8 Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
Bongchal gol khat leh lhosohga maicham a kon a changbong Olive thao a kisunum chip chep, chule Bongchal golkhat mama toh chonset kilheina maicham a ding a ahin to dingu ahi.
9 And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Chuteng Israel nam mite jouse chu nakhopkhom a Houbuh kotphung a umdia Levite chu na peh doh ding ahi.
10 And thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
Pathen na dinga Levite chu napeh doh teng le, Israel miten amaho chunga chu akhut u angap diu ahi.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave-offering from the children of Israel, that they may be to do the service of the LORD.
Aaron in akhut teni adopsanga Israel mipite lah a kon a Levite chu Pathen a dinga atumbeh a katohna aneiding, hitiachu Pathen lhacha natong ding a lhandohna anei ding ahi.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
Hiche jouteng chule Levite jousen Bongnou achalni chung nga khut ngapna anei diu, Bongchalnou khat chu chule chonset maicham kisem chu pumgo maicham kisem na ding ahin, Pathen henga Levite chun ki suhtheng na anei diu cham dela umdiu ahiye.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
Aaron le achaten Levite chu Amaho ma sanga adin sah uva, akhot u adop sang jou teng uleh Pathen masanga loupi tah’a maicham a sempeh diu ahi.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine.
Levite chu Israel mipi telah akonna natum khandoh diu, ajeh chu amaho keija umjing diu ahi.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
Hi chengse kichai teng, Houbuh sunga chu lut diu ana toh diu ijakai ajom thei diu ahi tai. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin amaho chu asuh thenga na pehdoh ahi tan nangma heng nga loupi tah ana peh doh ahi tai.
16 For they are wholly given unto Me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto Me.
Israel mipite ding in Levite hi keima dinga kikoisa ahin Israelte chi lhah’a pang masa pen ho chu keima kona phondoh le lhen doh tum ahi tai. Levite chu numei chilhah apat kilah doh ahiye.
17 For all the first-born among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself.
Israel mipite lah’a peng masapen mihem pasal ahin gancha hi jong leh keima ahi soh keiyin, Egypt mite pasal chapa masapen jouse kana suhmang nia pat chun keima dinga kana gontup sa ahi tai.
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Levite phung hi keiman Israelte lah’a chapa peng masa penna ka koi ahi tai.
19 And I have given the Levites — they are given to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, through the children of Israel coming nigh unto the sanctuary.'
Aaron le achate ho hi Levite vetup ding nga ki sem ahi tai. Israelte tha khel lah maicham Houbuh a kin theng na tong ding ahiuvin, pumgo maichamma kisuh thengna kin thenga a na tong le ding mong mong ahiuve.
20 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites; according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
Mose Aaron chule Israel mipi jousen Levite chu alheng doh un Pathen in amaho thu apeh dung juiyin abol tauvin ahi.
21 And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a sacred gift before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Leviten achonset na’u chu aki soptheng uvin chule aponsil ho jong aki noilhah un. Pathen masang nga loupi tah in maicham asem peh tai. Aaron in amaho chu maicham athengsel na ding uvin abolpeh in ajeh chu Pathen toh chamdela aum na diu ahiye.
22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
Chu teng Levite chu Houbuh maicham’a sunglha diu kintheng na toh apat diu, Aaron le achaten aki thopi diu ahiye. Amaho thu nit ding aki pat jouse Pathen in Levite jui dinga Mose ahin hetsah ho chun anit soh keiyun ahi.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Chu in PakaiyinMose hengah hiti hin aseiyin ahi.
24 'This is that which pertaineth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the tent of meeting;
Hiche dan hi Leviten anit’u ngaijin, Houbuh sunga chu kintheng na toh apat na diuva chu kum-somni le nga beh alhin’u ngaiding ahiye.
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more;
Chule Levite chu kum-somnga alhin teng ule kichol thei ding ahitauve.
26 but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, but they shall do no manner of service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.'
Levite chu akichol joulam teng ule asopiu aloi agol hon Houbuh kimvella ajenle a jong pangthei nalaiju ahi. Ahin lah akintheng na tong vang pang thai ta lou ding ahi. Hi chengse hi Levite kin theng natoh na muna aman chah diu dan ahiye.
