Lampahnah 17

1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah amih taeng lamkah conghol te lo. Conghol te a napa imkhui tarhing la a khoboei boeih taeng lamkah khaw lo saeh. A napa rhoek imkhui tarhing kah conghol te hlai nit lo ni. Te vaengah hlang te a ming neh a conghol dongah daek pah.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write you every man's name upon his rod.

3 Aaron ming te Levi conghol soah daek lamtah a napa rhoek imsawn kah a lu pakhat ham conghol pakhat van saeh.

And you shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

4 Te rhoek te tingtunnah dap khuikah olphong hmai ah khueh pah. Te rhoek ah ni nangmih ham kan tuentah coeng.

And you shall lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

5 Te vaengah ka coelh hlang te ana om vetih anih te a conghol duei ni. Te vaengah nangmih rhoi taengah aka nul, amih Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te kamah taeng lamloh ka hnop ni,” a ti nah.

And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

6 Te dongah Moses loh Israel ca rhoek te a thui pah tih amih kah khoboei boeih loh khoboei pakhat ham conghol pakhat, khoboei pakhat ham van te conghol pakhat van te a taengla a paek uh. A napa rhoek kah imsawn tarhing ah conghol hlai nit lo tih Aaron kah conghol khaw amih kah conghol lakli ah om.

And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 Moses loh conghol te olphong dap kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hang.

And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

8 A vuen ah Moses te olphong dap khuila a kun vaengah Levi imkhui kah Aaron conghol tah tarha aka duei pah. Rhaiphuelh khaw phuelh. Te phoeiah tamlaep bangla a khooi pah tih noe bangla a thaih pah.

And it came to pass, that on the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

9 Moses loh conghol boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh Israel ca boeih taengla a khuen tih a sawt uh phoeiah hlang boeih a conghol te a loh uh.

And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Boekoek koca rhoek taengah miknoek la tuemkoi ham Aaron kah conghol te olphong hmai ah khueh laeh. Te daengah nih amih kah kohuetnah te ka mikhmuh lamloh paa vetih a duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

11 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Moses loh a ngai tih a saii van.

And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

12 Israel ca rhoek loh Moses te a voek uh tih, “M'pal uh ni he, mamih boeih m'milh uh coeng, m'milh uh coeng.

And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

13 BOEIPA kah dungtlungim te aka paan la aka paan boeih tah duek ni. Pal hamla khum uh mai sih a eya?” a ti uh.

Whosoever comes any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
