Numbers 3
1 THESE also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spake 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 firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron ca rhoek 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 which 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 sight 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 spake unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present 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 tabernacle of the congregation, 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 instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 out of the children of Israel.
Levi rhoek te Aaron taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah pae. Amih te Israel ca rhoek taeng lamloh a taengah pae rhoe pae saeh.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Aaron neh a capa rhoek te soep lamtah a khosoihbi te ngaithuen saeh. Tedae te aka paan hlangthawt tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the Lord spake 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 all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
“Kai loh Levi te Israel ca rhoek khui lamloh, Israel ca rhoek bung kah cacuek caming boeih yueng ka loh coeng ne. Te dongah Levi rhoek he kamah taengah om saeh.
13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the Lord.
Caming boeih kamah ham coeng dongah Egypt kho kah caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni Israel khuikah caming boeih te kamah ham ka ciim coeng. Hlang lamloh rhamsa khaw kai Yahweh kamah ham ni a. om uh,” a ti nah.
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
Levi koca rhoek 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.

31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
Levi khoboei rhoek kah khoboei, khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen rhoek aka cawhkung ni.

36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
Te vaengah Merari ca rhoek kah a hutnah dungtlungim a longlaeng neh a thohkalh, a tung neh a buenhol, a hnopai boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih aka soepkung ni.
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 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall 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, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
Levi te boeih a soep hil Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA ol bangla a soep. Amih koca te hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng kul hnih louh.
40 And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the 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 boeih te soep lamtah a hlangmi ming te khoem pah.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn 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 ca rhoek 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 firstborn among the children of Israel.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh Israel ca rhoek kah caming boeih te a soep.
43 And all the firstborn males by 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 hlangmi te thawng kul thawng hnih neh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum la a soep uh.
44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.
“Israel ca rhoek 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 for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
Te dongah tlansum khaw Levi soah te Israel ca caming lamloh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum neh poeng pah.
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs: )
Hlangmi pakhat ham te shekel la shekel panga, panga van lo lamtah hmuencim kah shekel tah gerah pakul loh pah.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
Tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla na paek vaengah amih kah tlansum te poeng pah,” a ti nah.
49 And Moses took the redemption money of 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 Moses loh a loh.
50 Of the firstborn 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 money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
