Numbers 8
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'
“Aaron te voek lamtah amah taengah thui pah. Hmaithoi te namah loh hmaitung hmai a dan ah tok lamtah hmaithoi parhih la vang saeh,” a ti nah.
3 And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Te dongah Aaron loh a ngai tangloeng tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla hmaitung hmai kah a dan ah hmaithoi te a tok.
4 And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.
He hmaitung dongkah kutngo he a kho lamloh a rhaiphuelh duela sui cakben a boh thil. Te kah cakben te khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a tueng a mueimae bangla hmaitung te a saii van.
5 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
6 'Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.
“Levi te Israel ca khui lamloh lo lamtah caihcil laeh.
7 'And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
Amih caihcil ham vaengah he he amih ham saii pah. Amih te cangcai tui haeh thil lamtah a pum tom ah paihat caeh sak. Te phoeiah a himbai te suk uh saeh lamtah caihcil uh saeh.
8 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, — and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering,
Te vaengah saelhung ca dongkah vaito neh a khocang dongkah situi neh a thoek vaidam te khuen uh saeh. Te phoeiah saelhung ca dongkah vaito pabae tah boirhaem la khuen.
9 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel,
Levi rhoek te tingtunnah dap hmai la khuen lamtah Israel ca rhoek te rhaengpuei la boeih tingtun sak.
10 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
Levi rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh la khuen lamtah Israel ca rhoek loh a kut te Levi soah tloeng uh saeh.
11 and Aaron hath waved the Levites — a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been — for doing the service of Jehovah.
Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah Levi rhoek te Aaron loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng hmueih la thueng saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah thothuengnah dongah tho aka thueng la om uh saeh.
12 'And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites,
Levi rhoek long khaw a kut te vaito lu soah tloeng uh saeh lamtah pumat te boirhaem la nawn saeh. Te phoeiah pumat te Levi rhoek ham aka dawth la BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah la nawn saeh.
13 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;
Te vaengah Levi rhoek te Aaron mikhmuh neh anih koca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pai saeh lamtah amih te BOEIPA taengah thueng hmueih la thueng pah.
14 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
Levi rhoek te Israel ca rhoek khui lamloh hoep tangloeng lamtah Levi rhoek te kamah taengah om uh saeh.
15 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them — a wave-offering.
Te phoeiah tah Levi rhoek te tingtunnah dap ah thothueng ham kun uh saeh. Te vaengah amih te caihcil lamtah amih te thueng hmueih la thueng pah.
16 'For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb — the first-born of all — from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;
Israel ca khui lamloh amih te bung boeih kah cacuek yueng la kamah taengah m'pae rhoe m'pae saeh. Israel ca kah caming boeih te kamah ham ka loh coeng.
17 for Mine [is] every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
Israel ca khui kah caming boeih he kamah ham ni. Egypt kho ah hlang khaw rhamsa khaw, caming boeih ka ngawn khohnin ah ni, amih te kamah ham ka ciim coeng.
18 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel:
Levi rhoek te Israel ca rhoek khui kah caming boeih yueng la ka loh.
19 'And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.'
Tingtunnah dap ah Israel ca rhoek kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham neh Israel ca rhoek ham aka dawth pah la, Israel ca khui lamloh Aaron taeng neh anih koca rhoek taengah ka paek te ni Levi taengah ka paek. Te daengah ni Israel ca loh hmuencim la a mop vaengah tlohthae loh Israel ca rhoek a cuk thil pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
20 And Moses doth — Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel — to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them.
Te dongah Moses, Aaron neh Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih loh Levi rhoek ham a saii pah. A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Levi ham Moses a uen van bangla Israel ca rhoek loh amih ham te a saii uh tangloeng.
21 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them,
Te phoeiah Levi rhoek te ciim uh tih a himbai te a suk uh. Aaron loh amih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thueng hmueih la a thueng. Amih caihcil sak ham te Aaron loh amih ham a dawth pah.
22 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
Te phoeiah tah Levi rhoek te a thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham tingtunnah dap kah Aaron mikhmuh neh anih koca rhoek kah mikhmuh la pawk uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Levi rhoek ham te amamih taengah a saii van.
23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
24 'This [is] that which [is] the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting,
“Levi ham he tah kum kul kum nga ca lamloh a so hang mah tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah khuiah caempuei la thotat ham kun saeh.
25 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,
Tedae kum sawmnga ca lamlong tah caempuei lamloh mael saeh lamtah thothuengnah dongah khaw thotat voel boel saeh.
26 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'
Tedae tuemkoi ngaithuen ham te tingtunnah dap ah a manuca te bong saeh. Te phoeiah thothuengnah dongah amah a thotat ham ngawn moenih. Levi rhoek te amamih kah hutnah te khueh pah,” a ti nah.
