Numbers 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod.
Isarel catounnaw pato nateh a miphun lahoi a napanaw imthung, Isarelnaw hlaikahni touh koe kahrawikungnaw lengkaleng poe hanelah sonron hlaikahni touh na la vaiteh, amamae min hah sonron dawk lengkaleng thut pouh.
3 You shall write Aaron’s name on Levi’s rod. There shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.
Hahoi Levih sonron dawk, Aron min na thut han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa imthung kahrawikung hanelah sonron buet touh lah rip ao han.
4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the covenant, where I meet with you.
Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim, lawkpanuesaknae hmalah na ta han.
5 It shall happen that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.”
Kai ni ka rawi e sonron teh a dawn a pei han. Hattoteh, nangmouh roi yon ka pen e Isarelnaw e phuenangnae teh ka takhoe pouh han, telah a ti.
6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, a total of twelve rods. Aaron’s rod was amongst their rods.
Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel catounnaw hah a pato teh, kahrawikungnaw ni a imthungkhu yueng lah kahrawikung buet touh ni sonron buet touh rip a sin teh, sonron hlaikahni touh hah a poe teh, Aron e sonron hai hotnaw rahak vah a bawk van.
7 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
Mosi ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA hmalah sonron hah a ta.
8 On the next day, Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony; and behold, Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi had sprouted, budded, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
A tangtho vah Mosi teh kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim dawkvah, a cei teh, Levih imthung e yueng lah Aron e sonron hah a dawn teh, a pei a muem, a pei a pei teh almond paw a paw.
9 Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel. They looked, and each man took his rod.
Mosi ni BAWIPA hmalae sonronnaw pueng hah Isarel catounnaw pueng koe a ceikhai. A khet awh teh amamae sonron hah lengkaleng a la awh.
10 The LORD said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the covenant, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their complaining against me, that they not die.”
Oe BAWIPA ni, laikaroenaw koe lah mitnout lah ao nahanelah, Aron e sonron hah lawkpanuesaknae kung koe tat leih. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnimae phuenangnae hah ka mithmu hoi kâhat vaiteh dout awh mahoeh, telah atipouh.
11 Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
BAWIPA ni Mosi lawk a thui e patetlah ahni ni a tarawi teh a sak.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone!
Isarel catounnaw ni Mosi koevah, koung kahma awh teh, koung ka due awh toe, koung rawk awh katang toe.
13 Everyone who keeps approaching the LORD’s tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?”
BAWIPA lukkareiim kâhnai pueng ni a due awh. Koung kahmat lah due awh han namaw telah ati awh.
