Numbers 8
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
Pakaiyin Mose henga aseiyin,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and thou shalt say unto him, —When thou lightest up the lamps, over against the front of the lampstand, shall the seven lamps give light.
“Aaron in hiche hilchahna ho hi pe in: Thaomei khom sagi chu atunna a natundoh teng le, amalam ma thaomei khom mailah chu a salvah jou nading nading in tundoh in.”
3 And Aaron did so, over against the front of the lampstand, lighted he up the lamps thereof, —As Yahweh commanded Moses,
Aron in chutichun aboltan ahi. Thaomei khom Sagiho chun amailam salvahna din Pakaiyin Mose henga asei bang bang chun atungdohtan ahi.
4 Now, this, was the work of the lampstand—beaten work of gold both in the shaft thereof and in the flowers thereof, was it beaten work, according to the appearance which Yahweh caused to appear unto Moses, so, made he the lampstand.
Hiche thaomei khom aboncha a, akhombul apat ajem kisemna changei chu sana kikhen a kisemdoh ahi. Hiche hi Pathen in Mose alim umding dol avetsah bangtah a kisem a ahi.
5 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga ahisei in,
6 Take the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —and thou shalt purify them.
“Tun Israel mipi adangho jouse a kon in Levite tumkhen inlang, chonna dan ngai bang in sutheng sohkei in.
7 And, thus, shalt thou do unto them, to purify them, sprinkle upon them sin-cleansing water, —then shall they, cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and shall wash their clothes and so make themselves pure.
Kisuhtheng na tui chu nathinkhum ding, amaho apumpiuva atahsa uva amul jouseu kivoumui diu chule amanchah jing apon hou akisoptheng diu ahi. Hitia chu abolteng uleh chonna dol a atheng a ahitauve.
8 Then shall they take a choice young bullock, with the meal-offering thereof even fine meal overflowed with oil, —and a second choice young bullock, shalt thou take. as a sin-bearer.
Bongchal gol khat leh lhosohga maicham a kon a changbong Olive thao a kisunum chip chep, chule Bongchal golkhat mama toh chonset kilheina maicham a ding a ahin to dingu ahi.
9 Then shalt thou bring the Levites near, before the tent of meeting, —and shalt call together all the assembly of the sons of Israel;
Chuteng Israel nam mite jouse chu nakhopkhom a Houbuh kotphung a umdia Levite chu na peh doh ding ahi.
10 and shalt bring the Levites near before Yahweh, —and the sons of Israel shall lean their hands upon the Levites;
Pathen na dinga Levite chu napeh doh teng le, Israel miten amaho chunga chu akhut u angap diu ahi.
11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel, —so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh.
Aaron in akhut teni adopsanga Israel mipite lah a kon a Levite chu Pathen a dinga atumbeh a katohna aneiding, hitiachu Pathen lhacha natong ding a lhandohna anei ding ahi.
12 And, the Levites, shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullocks; then make thou of the one a sin-bearer and of the other an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over the Levites.
Hiche jouteng chule Levite jousen Bongnou achalni chung nga khut ngapna anei diu, Bongchalnou khat chu chule chonset maicham kisem chu pumgo maicham kisem na ding ahin, Pathen henga Levite chun ki suhtheng na anei diu cham dela umdiu ahiye.
13 Thus shalt thou cause the Levites to stand before Aaron and before his sons, —thus shalt thou offer them as a wave-offering unto Yahweh;
Aaron le achaten Levite chu Amaho ma sanga adin sah uva, akhot u adop sang jou teng uleh Pathen masanga loupi tah’a maicham a sempeh diu ahi.
14 thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —thus shall the Levites become mine.
Levite chu Israel mipi telah akonna natum khandoh diu, ajeh chu amaho keija umjing diu ahi.
15 And after that, shall the Levites enter to do the labour of the tent of meeting, —so shalt thou purify them, and offer them as a wave-offering,
Hi chengse kichai teng, Houbuh sunga chu lut diu ana toh diu ijakai ajom thei diu ahi tai. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin amaho chu asuh thenga na pehdoh ahi tan nangma heng nga loupi tah ana peh doh ahi tai.
16 For, given, given, they are unto me, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth from among the sons of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Israel mipite ding in Levite hi keima dinga kikoisa ahin Israelte chi lhah’a pang masa pen ho chu keima kona phondoh le lhen doh tum ahi tai. Levite chu numei chilhah apat kilah doh ahiye.
17 For mine, is every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —on the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, did I hallow them unto me.
Israel mipite lah’a peng masapen mihem pasal ahin gancha hi jong leh keima ahi soh keiyin, Egypt mite pasal chapa masapen jouse kana suhmang nia pat chun keima dinga kana gontup sa ahi tai.
18 Therefore have I taken the Levites, —instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel;
Levite phung hi keiman Israelte lah’a chapa peng masa penna ka koi ahi tai.
19 therefore have I given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel, —so shall there be among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.
Aaron le achate ho hi Levite vetup ding nga ki sem ahi tai. Israelte tha khel lah maicham Houbuh a kin theng na tong ding ahiuvin, pumgo maichamma kisuh thengna kin thenga a na tong le ding mong mong ahiuve.
20 And Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the sons of Israel did thus unto the Levites, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses as touching the Levites, so, did the sons of Israel unto them.
Mose Aaron chule Israel mipi jousen Levite chu alheng doh un Pathen in amaho thu apeh dung juiyin abol tauvin ahi.
21 And the Levites accepted the cleansing from sin and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Yahweh, —and Aaron put a propitiatory-covering over them to make them pure.
Leviten achonset na’u chu aki soptheng uvin chule aponsil ho jong aki noilhah un. Pathen masang nga loupi tah in maicham asem peh tai. Aaron in amaho chu maicham athengsel na ding uvin abolpeh in ajeh chu Pathen toh chamdela aum na diu ahiye.
22 And after that, went the Levites in to do their laborious work in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons, —as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so, did they unto them.
Chu teng Levite chu Houbuh maicham’a sunglha diu kintheng na toh apat diu, Aaron le achaten aki thopi diu ahiye. Amaho thu nit ding aki pat jouse Pathen in Levite jui dinga Mose ahin hetsah ho chun anit soh keiyun ahi.
23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying;
Chu in PakaiyinMose hengah hiti hin aseiyin ahi.
24 This is what concerneth the Levites, —from twenty-five years old and upwards, shall they enter to take rank in the host, for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting;
Hiche dan hi Leviten anit’u ngaijin, Houbuh sunga chu kintheng na toh apat na diuva chu kum-somni le nga beh alhin’u ngaiding ahiye.
25 but from the age of fifty years, shall they retire from taking rank in the labour, and shall do laborious work no more;
Chule Levite chu kum-somnga alhin teng ule kichol thei ding ahitauve.
26 yet shall they wait upon their brethren in the tent of meeting, by keeping charge, but laborious work, shall they not perform, —thus, shalt thou do unto the Levites, as touching their charges.
Levite chu akichol joulam teng ule asopiu aloi agol hon Houbuh kimvella ajenle a jong pangthei nalaiju ahi. Ahin lah akintheng na tong vang pang thai ta lou ding ahi. Hi chengse hi Levite kin theng natoh na muna aman chah diu dan ahiye.
