Numbers 1
1 In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
Izip hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu, kum hni nah kum, thapa yung pahni, apasuek hnin vah Sinai kahrawngum kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
Isarel tamihu pueng hah a miphun lahoi, a imthung lahoi, a min kâtarui lahoi tongpa pueng koung touk haw,
kum 20 lathueng Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi taran ka tuk thai e naw pueng nang nama hoi Aron ni ahuhu lahoi koung na touk awh han.
4 [I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
Nang koe e miphunnaw pueng thung dawk hoi imthung kahrawikung buet touh koung ao awh han.
5 Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
Hetnaw heh nang koe kaawm hane tami minnaw doeh. Reuben dawk hoi Shedeur capa Elizur,

16 Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
Hetnaw heh tamimaya thung dawk hoi rawi e a na mintoenaw miphun dawk hoi kahrawikung Isarel imthung kahrawikungnaw doeh.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Hot patetlah Mosi hoi Aron ni min a kaw e hetnaw heh a ceikhai awh.
18 and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
Tamimaya hah thapa yung pahni, apasuek hnin vah koung a kamkhueng awh teh, a na pa hoi, imthungnaw hoi kakhekungnaw, khetsin lahoi yah, kum 20 lathueng pueng teh kakhekungnaw hah ama buet touh min lahoi a kaw awh.
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah Sinai kahrawngum vah a touk awh.
20 This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

44 That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
Hotnaw teh Mosi hoi Aron ni Isarel kahrawikung hlaikahni imthung kahrawikungnaw hai a touk awh e doeh.

46 The total was 603,550 men.
a touk awh e naw pueng teh 603550 touh a pha.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Hatei, ahnimouh thung dawk hoi Levihnaw kakhekung lah touk awh hoeh.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah,
49 “When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
Levih miphun teh na touk mahoeh. Isarel taminaw lahai na touksin mahoeh.
50 Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Levihnaw teh lawkpanuesaknae lukkareiim hoi, hnopai khenyawnkung, haw e kaawm e naw pueng ka khenyawnkung lah na pouk awh han. Lukkareiim hoi a hnonaw pueng ka kâkayawt awh teh, ka khetyawt awh han. Bawknae rim a tengpam moi ao sin awh han.
51 Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
Hote bawknae rim teh a tâcokhai hanlah ao toteh, Levihnaw ni a raphoe vaiteh, hote rim bout a thung awh han. Tami alouke miphun bawk pawiteh thei lah ao han.
52 The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
Isarelnaw ni amamouh o nah tangkuem koe ahuhu lahoi apap e lahoi lukkareiim teh a sak awh han.
53 But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
Levihnaw a pâlei teh, kamkhueng e Isarelnaw lathueng vah a lungkhueknae ao hoeh nahan, Cathut onae im a tengpam vah a roe awh vaiteh, Levihnaw ni lawkpanuesaknae bawknae im teh, a khetyawt awh han.
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Hot patetlah Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA ni Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah a sak awh.
