Numbers 2
1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
2 “When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
“Hlang he a napa imko kah miknoek neh a hnitai hmuiah rhaeh uh saeh. Israel ca rhoek te tingtunnah dap taengah a hla la pin rhaeh uh saeh.
3 The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
Khothoeng khocuk la Judah lambong kah hnitai te amah kah caempuei neh rhaeh saeh. Te vaengah Amminadab capa Nahshon te Judah koca rhoek kah khoboei saeh.
A caempuei khaw thawng sawmrhih thawng li neh ya rhuk la a soep.
5 Nethanel, the son of Zuar, will be the leader of the 54,500 men of the tribe of Issachar.
A hmatoeng ah aka rhaeh Issakhar koca neh Issakhar ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Zuar capa Nethanel saeh.
A caempuei khaw thawng sawmnga thawng li neh ya li la soep saeh.
7 Eliab, the son of Helon, will be the leader of the 57,400 men of the tribe of Zebulun.
Zebulun koca neh Zebulun ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Helon capa Eliab saeh.
A caempuei khaw thawng sawmnga thawng rhih neh ya li la a soep uh.
9 So there will be 86,400 troops on the east side [of the Sacred Tent]. Whenever the Israelis move to a new location, those three tribes must go in front of the others.
Judah rhaehhmuen kah boeih te thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmrhet neh thawng rhuk ya li la soep uh. Amih kah caempuei te a pacuek ah cet saeh.
10 The tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad must set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, will be the leader of the 46,500 men of the tribe of Reuben.
Reuben rhaehhmuen kah hnitai tah tuithim ah amah caempuei neh om tih Shedeur capa Elizur te Reuben koca kah khoboei saeh.
A caempuei neh anih te thawng sawmli thawng rhuk neh ya nga la soep uh.
12 Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, will be the leader of the 59,300 men of the tribe of Simeon.
A hmatoeng ah aka rhaeh Simeon koca neh Simeon ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Zurishaddai capa Shelumiel saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmnga thawng ko neh ya thum la soep saeh.
14 Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, will be the leader of the 45,650 men of the tribe of Gad.
Gad koca neh Gad ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Reuel capa Eliasaph saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmli thawng nga neh ya rhuk sawmnga la soep saeh.
16 So there will be 151,450 troops on the south side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the first group [when the Israelis travel].
Reuben rhaehhmuen kah boeih te thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmnga thawng khat neh ya li sawmnga la soep saeh. Amih kah caempuei te a pabae ah cet saeh.
17 Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.
Te vaengah Levi rhaehhmuen kah tingtunnah dap lambong laklung ah cet saeh. A rhaeh uh vanbangla hlang he amah hnitai hmuikah amah kah hmuen ah cet tangloeng saeh.
18 The tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin must set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and number of men whom they will lead: Elishama, the son of Ammihud, will be the leader of the 40,500 men of the tribe of Ephraim.
Ephraim caem kah hnitai a caempuei neh khotlak ah om saeh lamtah Ephraim ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Ammihud capa Elishama saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmli neh ya nga soep saeh.
20 Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, will be the leader of the 32,200 men of the tribe of Manasseh.
A hmatoeng te Manasseh koca saeh lamtah Manasseh ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Pedahzur capa Gamaliel saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmthum thawng hnih ya hnih la soep saeh.
22 Abidan, the son of Gideoni, will be the leader of the 35,400 men of the tribe of Benjamin.
Benjamin koca neh Benjamin ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Gideoni capa Abidan saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmthum thawng nga neh ya li la soep uh.
24 So there will be 108,100 troops on the west side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the second group, [behind the descendants of Levi].
Ephraim caem te thawng yakhat phoeiah thawng rhet neh ya khat la boeih soep saeh. Amih kah caempuei te a pathum ah cet saeh.
25 The tribes of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali must set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, will be the leader of the 62,700 men of the tribe of Dan.
Dan caem kah hnitai tah a caempuei neh tlangpuei ah om saeh lamtah Dan ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Ammishaddai capa Ahiezer saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmrhuk thawng hnih neh ya rhih la soep saeh.
27 Pagiel, the son of Ocran, will be the leader of the 41,500 men of the tribe of Asher.
A hmatoeng kah aka rhaeh Asher koca neh Asher ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Okran capa Pagiel saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmli thawng khat ya nga soep saeh.
29 Ahira, the son of Enan, will be the leader of the 53,400 men of the tribe of Naphtali.
Naphtali koca neh Naphtali ca rhoek kah khoboei tah Enan capa Ahira saeh.
A caempuei neh amih te thawng sawmnga thawng thum neh ya li soep saeh.
31 So there will be 157,600 troops on the north side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will be last. They must carry their own flags when the Israelis travel.”
Dan caem khuikah boeih he thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmnga thawng rhih ya rhuk la soep uh tih a hnukkhoem la a hnitai neh cet uh saeh.
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
Israel ca rhoek te a napa rhoek imkhui neh a soep tih a caempuei lamloh a caem te boeih a soep vaengah thawng ya rhuk neh thawng thum ya nga sawmnga lo,” a ti nah.
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
Tedae Levi rhoek tah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Israel ca khui ah soep uh thil pawh.
34 The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla a cungkuem te Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh. A hnitai hmuiah rhaeh uh tih hlang he amah koca ah a napa imkhui neh cet uh.
