1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
“Levi koca khui lamloh Kohath ca rhoek kah a lu te a napa rhoek imkhui neh a cako ah tae pah.
3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil tah tingtunnah dap ah bitat saii ham caempuei la boeih kun saeh.
4 “This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, regarding the most holy things.
Tingtunnah dap khuiah hmuencim kah hmuencim koek ah Kohath koca kah thothuengnah tah he coeng ni.
5 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in with his sons; and they shall take down the veil of the screen, cover the ark of the Testimony with it,
Lambong a thoeih vaengah Aaron neh anih koca rhoek te kun uh saeh. Te vaengah himbaiyan dongkah hniyan te dul uh saeh lamtah laipainah thingkawng te khuk thil saeh.
6 put a covering of sealskin on it, spread a blue cloth over it, and put in its poles.
Te phoeiah a soah a sing la saham pho neh dah saeh. A so khit ah himbai a thim duk a phaih phoeiah a cung rholh uh saeh.
7 “On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
“A hmai caboei soah himbai thim a phaih tih a soah bael neh yakbu, tuisi-am neh tuisi tui-um tawn uh saeh. Buh khaw a soah phat om saeh.
8 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
Te rhoek soah himbai hlarhui a lingdik phaih saeh lamtah saham pho imphu neh te te khuk uh saeh. Te phoeiah a cung te rholh uh saeh.
9 “They shall take a blue cloth and cover the lamp stand of the light, its lamps, its snuffers, its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.
Te vaengah himbai thim lo uh saeh lamtah vangnah hmaitung neh a hmaithoi khaw, a paitaeh neh a baelphaih, a situi am boeih khaw khuk uh saeh. Te rhoek nen te a taengah thotat uh saeh.
10 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.
Amah te neh a hnopai boeih te saham pho imphu neh cun uh saeh lamtah cunghloeng dongah buen uh saeh.
11 “On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
Sui hmueihtuk soah khaw himbai thim neh khuk saeh. Te phoeiah te te saham pho imphu neh khuk uh saeh lamtah a cung rholh uh saeh.
12 “They shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
Thohtatnah hnopai cungkuem te khuen uh saeh lamtah hmuencim ah te nen te thotat uh saeh. Himbai thim khuila a sang tih saham pho imphu neh a khuk phoeiah cunghloeng dongah buen uh saeh.
13 “They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
Te phoeiah hmueihtuk te kol uh saeh lamtah a soah himbai thim phaih uh saeh.
14 They shall put on it all its vessels with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins—all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
Te phoeiah a thohtat vaengkah a hnopai cungkuem te, a taengkah baelphaih ciksum neh hmaisoh khaw, baelcak neh hmueihtuk kah hnopai cungkuem te a soah tloeng uh saeh. Te soah saham pho a sing dah uh saeh lamtah a cung te rholh uh saeh.
15 “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. The sons of Kohath shall carry these things belonging to the Tent of Meeting.
Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh hmuencim neh hmuencim kah hnopai cungkuem a khuk te a coeng tih rhaehhmuen puen ham vaengah a hnuk ah koh pah ham Kohath koca rhoek kun uh saeh. Tedae hnocim te ben uh boel saeh duek uh ve. He rhoek he tingtunnah dap khuiah Kohath koca rhoek kah hnophueih la om saeh.
16 “The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”
Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar loh hmaivang situi neh bo-ul botui khaw, hnin takuem kah khocang neh koelhnah situi aka cawhkung, dungtlungim pum neh a khuikah boeih, hmuencim neh a hnopai aka cawhkung la om saeh,” a ti nah.
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
18 “Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
“Kohathi cako koca te Levi khui lamloh hnawt boeh.
19 but do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone to his service and to his burden;
Tedae he he amih ham na saii daengah ni hmuencim kah hmuencim taengla a mop uh vaengah hing uh vetih a duek uh pawt eh. Aaron neh anih koca rhoek a kun vaengah amih te hlang khat rhip kah a thothuengnah ham neh a hnophueih ham khueh uh saeh.
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
Tedae hmuencim te hmuh ham yap kun uh boel saeh, tarha duek uh ve,” a ti nah.
21 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
22 “Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
“Gershon koca kah a lu te khaw a napa rhoek imkhui lamloh a cako ah tae pah.
23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old: all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Capa kum sawmthum lamloh a so hang loh kum sawmnga ca hil soep pah. Amih te tingtunnah dap ah caempuei la thohtat ham neh thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham boeih ha pawk uh saeh.
24 “This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
He thothuengnah he Gershon cako kah a thothueng neh a hnophueih la om saeh.
25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, the covering of sealskin that is on it, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Te dongah dungtlungim kah himbaiyan neh tingtunnah dap kah a imphu khaw, a so lamkah saham imphu neh tingtunnah dap thohka kah himbaiyan khaw,
26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the gate of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.
vongup kah imbang neh dungtlungim dongkah vongtung vongka thohka kah himbaiyan neh hmueihtuk kaepvai kah a rhuimal khaw, a thothuengnah hnopai cungkuem khaw phuei uh saeh. Te boeih te amih ham khueh pah lamtah thothueng uh saeh.
27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all their responsibilities.
Aaron neh a capa kah ol bangla Gershon koca rhoek kah thothuengnah cungkuem dongah a hnophueih boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih te om pah saeh. Te phoeiah amih te a hutnah bangla a hnophueih boeih te soep pah.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting. Their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
He he tingtunnah dap ah Gershon koca cako kah thothuengnah coeng ni. Amih hut te khosoih Aaron capa Ithamar kut hmuiah om saeh.”
29 “As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
“Merari koca te a cako ah a napa rhoek imko neh soep pah.
30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
Amih te kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang neh kum sawmnga ca hil soep pah. Amih te tingtunnah dap ah thothuengnah neh thothueng ham caempuei la boeih kun saeh.
31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
Tingtunnah dap ah amih kah thothuengnah boeih la he he a hnophueih neh a hutnah la om saeh. Dungtlungim kah a longlaeng neh a thohkalh khaw, a tung neh a buenhol khaw,
32 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. You shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden to them by name.
vongtung kaepvai kah tung neh a buenhol khaw, a hlingcong neh a rhuimal khaw, a hnopai boeih neh a thothuengnah boeih khaw, amih kah hnophueih neh a hutnah hnopai te a ming neh soep pah.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
Tingtunnah dap kah a thothuengnah boeih dongah Merari koca cako thothuengnah he khosoih Aaron capa Ithamar kut hmuiah om saeh,” a ti nah.
34 Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
Te dongah Moses, Aaron neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei rhoek loh Kohathi koca kah a cako rhoek neh a napa rhoek imkhui khaw,

Kum sawmthum ca lamloh a so hang kum sawmnga ca hil, tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah caempuei la aka kun boeih te a tae.
