Numbers 3
1 And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH’s speaking 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: the firstborn Nadab, 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 anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.
Khosoih Aaron ca rhoek he khosoih sak ham ming a koelh pah tih a kut ah a buem sak.
4 And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron.
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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
Levi koca te khuen lamtah khosoih Aaron mikhmuh ah pai sak. Te vaengah a taengah thotat uh saeh.
7 and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
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 have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
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 you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons 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 you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is 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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 “And I, behold, have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been 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 for every firstborn [is] Mine, in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel, from man to beast; they are Mine; I [am] YHWH.”
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 YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward—you 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 numbers them according to the command of YHWH, as he has been commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah ol a uen bangla Moses loh amih te a soep.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Levi koca rhoek khui Gershon, Kohath neh Merari a ming om.
18 And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

22 Their numbered ones, in number, every male from a son of a month and upward, their numbered ones [are] seven thousand and five hundred.
Amih kah a soep tarhing ah hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih te thawng rhih neh ya nga la a soep uh.
23 The families of the Gershonite encamp westward behind the Dwelling Place.
Gershon cako te dungtlungim kah tahael khotlak ben ah rhaeh uh.
24 And the prince of a father’s house for the Gershonite [is] Eliasaph son of Lael.
Gershon kah a napa imkhui ah Lael capa Eliasaph te khoboei van.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting [is] the Dwelling Place, and the tent, its covering, and the veil at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Gershon koca loh Tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim neh dap imphu khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka himbaiyan khaw,
26 and the hangings of the court, and the veil at the opening of the court, which [is] by the Dwelling Place and by the altar all around, and its cords, to all its service.

27 And of Kohath—the family of the Amramite, and the family of the Izharite, and the family of the Hebronite, and the family of the Uzzielite; these are families of the Kohathite.
Kohath lamloh Amrami cako neh Izhari cako, Khebroni cako neh Ozzeli cako om tih amih he ni Kohathi cako coeng.
28 In number, all the males, from a son of a month and upward, [are] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the holy place.
Hlangmi la, hla khat ca lamloh a so hang tongpa boeih tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen ham thawng rhet neh ya rhuk omuh.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamp southward by the side of the Dwelling Place.
Kohath ca rhoek tah a cako la dungtlungim kaep kah tuithim ah rhaeh uh.
30 And the prince of a father’s house for the families of the Kohathite [is] Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
Kohath cako kah a napa imkhui ah Uzziel capa Elizaphan he khoboei van.
31 And their charge [is] the Ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the vessels of the holy place with which they serve, and the veil, and all its service.
Te vaengah amih loh thingkawng neh caboei khaw, hmaitung neh hmueihtuk khaw, hmuencim kah hnopai khaw a hutnah. Amih te himbaiyan neh a thothuengnah cungkuem dongah thotat uh.
32 And Eleazar son of Aaron the priest [is] the prince of the princes of the Levites, [with] the oversight of the keepers of the charge of the holy place.
Levi khoboei rhoek kah khoboei, khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar tah hmuencim kah tuemkoi aka ngaithuen rhoek aka cawhkung ni.
33 Of Merari—the family of the Mahlite and the family of the Mushite; these [are] the families of Merari.
Merari lamloh Makhali cako neh Musihe cako tih amih te Merari koca rhoek van.
34 And their numbered ones, in number, all the males from a son of a month and upward, [are] six thousand and two hundred.
A hlangmi la, tongpa hla khat ca lamloh a so hang boeih te thawng rhuk neh ya hnih la a soep uh.
35 And the prince of a father’s house for the families of Merari [is] Zuriel son of Abihail; they encamp northward by the side of the Dwelling Place.
Merari cako kah a napa imkhui ah Abihail capa Zuriel te khoboei tih dungtlungim kaep kah tlangpuei ah rhaeh uh.
36 And the oversight [and] charge of the sons of Merari [are] the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all its service,
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 all around, 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 And those encamping before the Dwelling Place eastward, before the Tent of Meeting, at the east, [are] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who comes near is 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 those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered—Aaron also—by the command of YHWH, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] twenty-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 YHWH says to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up 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 you have taken the Levites for Me (I [am] YHWH), instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of every firstling among the livestock of the sons 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 numbers, as YHWH has commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh Israel ca rhoek kah caming boeih te a soep.
43 And every firstborn male, by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 “Take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] YHWH.
“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 [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are more than the Levites,
Te dongah tlansum khaw Levi soah te Israel ca caming lamloh ya hnih sawmrhih pathum neh poeng pah.
47 you have even taken five shekels apiece by the counted head—you take by the shekel of the holy place; 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 you have given the money to Aaron and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.”
Tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla na paek vaengah amih kah tlansum te poeng pah,” a ti nah.
49 And Moses takes the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;
Te dongah Levi kah a lat soah aka poeng rhoek taeng lamkah tlansum tangka te Moses loh a loh.
50 he has taken the money from the firstborn of the sons of Israel—one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five, by the shekel of the holy place;
Israel ca caming taeng lamloh tangka te hmuencim shekel ah thawng khat ya thum sawmrhuk panga a doe.
51 and Moses gives the money of those ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the command of YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA ol tarhing ah ni Moses loh tlansum tangka te Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengla a paek.
