Numbers 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.'
Aron hah pato nateh ahni koe, hmaiim hah na paang toteh, hmaiim sari touh ni hmaiimkhok hmalah a ang awh han, telah atipouh.
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.
A dei e patetlah Aron ni a sak. BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah hmaiimkhok a hmalah a ang hanlah hmaiim teh a paang.
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.
Hete hmaiimkhok teh sui hoi mek dêi sin e doeh. BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a meilam a kamnue sak e patetlah a sak pouh.
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
6 'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Levihnaw hah Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi aloukcalah hmoun nateh, kamthoung sak.
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.
Ahnimouh a kamthoung nahanelah, hettelah na sak han. Ahnimouh tak dawk thoungnae tui hah kaheisin nateh, a takbuem muen koung ngaw naseh, a khohna pâsu awh vaiteh, kamthoung naseh.
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.
Maitotanca buet touh hoi, tavai thuengnae a kanui e satui hoi kalawt e lat sak loe. Yon thuengnae maitotanca buet touh na ceikhai han.
9 And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Levihnaw hah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a ceikhai vaiteh, Isarel catoun tamimaya teh cungtalah pâkhueng.
10 And thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
Hahoi teh, Levihnaw hah BAWIPA hmalah na thokhai awh han. Isarel catounnaw ni Levihnaw lathueng a kut a toung pouh vaiteh,
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.
Aron ni Levihnaw hah BAWIPA thaw a tawk awh thai nahan, Isarel catounnaw koe kahek thuengnae BAWIPA hmalah a poe awh han.
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.
Levihnaw ni maitotanca e a lû dawk a kut a toung awh vaiteh, Levihnaw han yontha nahanlah BAWIPA Cathut hmalah maito buet touh, hmaisawi thueng nahanlah buet touh na sak han.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
Levihnaw hah Aron hoi a canaw hmalah a kangdue vaiteh, BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae patetlah na sak han.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine.
Hot patetlah, Isarel catoun thung hoi Levihnaw hah na hmoun vaiteh, Levihnaw teh kai ka ham lah ao han.
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.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, Levihnaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a kâen awh han. Nang ni ahnimanaw thoung sak hanlah, kahek thuengnae patetlah na sak pouh han.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel miphun thung dawk hoi ahnimanaw hah na rawi vaiteh, kai koe koung na poe han. Isarel miphunnaw ni hmaloe a khe awh e camin yueng lah ka la toe.
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.
Izipnaw e caminnaw kai ni ka thei navah, Isarel miphun dawk teh tami thoseh, saring thoseh, caminnaw pueng hah kai kama hanlah ka thoung sak dawkvah, caminnaw pueng teh kai ka ham doeh.
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Hahoi Isarel catounnaw dawk camin hanlah Levihnaw teh kai ni ka la toe.
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.'
Ahnimanaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koevah, Isarelnaw ni a tawk awh hane thaw a tawk awh thai nahan thoseh, Isarel miphunnaw ni kathoungpounge hmuen koe a cei awh toteh, Lacik dawk hoi a hlout awh thai nahan, yontha sak nahan hai thoseh, Isarel miphun thung hoi Levihnaw teh Aron hoi a canaw hah ka poe telah a ti.
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.
Levihnaw hanlah BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe a dei e patetlah Mosi hoi Aron koehoi Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah hanelah Levihnaw ni a sak awh han.
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.
Ahnimanaw ni thoungnae a hmu awh teh, amamae khohna a pâsu awh. Aron ni hai BAWIPA hmalah kahek thuengnae BAWIPA koe yonthanae ahnimouh han a sak teh a thoung awh.
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.
Hahoi teh, Levihnaw hmalah Aron hoi a canaw hmalah a thaw tawk hanlah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thung a kâen. Levihnaw kong dawk BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh koe a sak pouh.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
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;
Hetheh Levihnaw a coungnae doeh. Kum 25 touh lathueng ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk thaw a tawk awh han.
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more;
Kum 50 ka phat e ni thaw a kâhat han, tawk awh mahoeh toe.
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.'
Hatei, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim khetyawtnae dawkvah, a hmaunawnghanaw a kabawp han. Thaw teh tawk mahoeh. Het patetlah Levihnaw a thaw kong dawk, laideitâtueng pouh loe telah atipouh.
