Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.
Israel kaminawk khaeah hae hae thui paeh; ampanawk ih acaeng zaehoikungnawk khae hoi acaeng maeto naah cunghet maeto, acaeng hatlai hnetto khae hoiah cunghet hatlai hnetto la ah loe, cunghet pongah kami ih ahmin to tarik boih ah.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
Levi ih cunghet pongah Aaron ih ahmin to tarik ah; acaeng zaehoikung maeto mah cunghet maeto tawnh boih han oh.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
To cunghetnawk to lok kang thuihaih ahmuen, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ih hnukung hmaa ah suem ah.
5 And it shall come to pass, [that] the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
Ka qoih kami ih cunghet loe tadok tacawt tih; to pacoengah loe Israel kaminawk mah na nuiah laisaephaih to ka dipsak han boeh, tiah a naa.
6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was] among their rods.
To pongah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah lokthuih pae, zaehoikungnawk boih mah anih han cunghet maeto paek o boih, acaeng zaehoikung maeto mah, cunghet maeto sin o, sangqum boih ah cunghet hatlai hnetto oh; Aaron ih cunghet doeh to ih cunghetnawk thungah athum toeng.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
Mosi mah to ih cunghetnawk to hnukung kahni imthung ih Angraeng hmaa ah suek.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
Khawnbang ah Mosi hnukung kahni imthung ah akun naah, khenah, Levi imthung takoh ah kaom Aaron ih cunghet loe tadok tacawt, aqam tacawt tahang moe, apawk pawk pacoengah, almond thaih to athaih.
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
To naah Mosi mah Angraeng hmaa ih cunghet to Israel kaminawk hma sinh pae boih; nihcae mah khet o moe, angmacae ih cunghet to lak o boih.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron ih cunghet to hnukung hmaa ah sin ah loe, to ah suem let ah, to cunghet loe lok tahngai ai kaminawk acoe paekhaih angmathaih ah om tih; to naah ni nihcae mah ka nuiah laisaep o haih to na boengsak tih, to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae loe dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
11 And Moses did [so: ] as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak boih.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Israel kaminawk mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, aicae loe a duek o tangtang boeh; aicae loe anghmat boeh, aicae loe anghmat o boih boeh!
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng ih kahni im ah angzo kami loe dueh tih; aicae loe a dueh o boih tih boeh maw? tiah a naa o.
