Numbers 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and take a rod from each of them, for a father’s house, from all their princes, for the house of their fathers—twelve rods; you write the name of each on his rod,
Isarel catounnaw pato nateh a miphun lahoi a napanaw imthung, Isarelnaw hlaikahni touh koe kahrawikungnaw lengkaleng poe hanelah sonron hlaikahni touh na la vaiteh, amamae min hah sonron dawk lengkaleng thut pouh.
3 and you write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
Hahoi Levih sonron dawk, Aron min na thut han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa imthung kahrawikung hanelah sonron buet touh lah rip ao han.
4 And you have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you.
Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim, lawkpanuesaknae hmalah na ta han.
5 And it has come to pass, the man’s rod on whom I fix flourishes, and I have caused the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against you, to cease from off Me.”
Kai ni ka rawi e sonron teh a dawn a pei han. Hattoteh, nangmouh roi yon ka pen e Isarelnaw e phuenangnae teh ka takhoe pouh han, telah a ti.
6 And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and all their princes give to him one rod for a prince, one rod for a prince, for their fathers’ house—twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [is] in the midst of their rods;
Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel catounnaw hah a pato teh, kahrawikungnaw ni a imthungkhu yueng lah kahrawikung buet touh ni sonron buet touh rip a sin teh, sonron hlaikahni touh hah a poe teh, Aron e sonron hai hotnaw rahak vah a bawk van.
7 and Moses places the rods before YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
Mosi ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA hmalah sonron hah a ta.
8 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses goes into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron has flourished for the house of Levi, and brings out a bud, and blossoms [with] a blossom, and produces almonds;
A tangtho vah Mosi teh kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawkvah, a cei teh, Levih imthung e yueng lah Aron e sonron hah a dawn teh, a pei a muem, a pei a pei teh almond paw a paw.
9 and Moses brings out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they look, and each takes his rod.
Mosi ni BAWIPA hmalae sonronnaw pueng hah Isarel catounnaw pueng koe a ceikhai. A khet awh teh amamae sonron hah lengkaleng a la awh.
10 And YHWH says to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the Testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and you remove their murmurings from off Me, and they do not die”;
Oe BAWIPA ni, laikaroenaw koe lah mitnout lah ao nahanelah, Aron e sonron hah lawkpanuesaknae kung koe tat leih. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnimae phuenangnae hah ka mithmu hoi kâhat vaiteh dout awh mahoeh, telah atipouh.
11 and Moses does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
BAWIPA ni Mosi lawk a thui e patetlah ahni ni a tarawi teh a sak.
12 And the sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
Isarel catounnaw ni Mosi koevah, koung kahma awh teh, koung ka due awh toe, koung rawk awh katang toe.
13 Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
BAWIPA lukkareiim kâhnai pueng ni a due awh. Koung kahmat lah due awh han namaw telah ati awh.
