“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], 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.

3 Phung lamkai khat min cheh chu kijih lut ding ahijeh'in, Aaron min chu Levite phung lamkai ding chun sun in,

You shall write Aaron [Light-bringer]’s name on the rod of Levi [United with]; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.

4 Hiche tenggol hohi nangman nakoi tup ding houbuh masanga kimutona muna keima toh iki mutoh ji ding ahi.

You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

5 Hiche thingpeh ka lhen doh chunga chu hung pahdoh ding koija ahi het theina ding hiche tengle keiman achaina natoh kahin nei ding nangma chunga kipah thei lou lung lhai lou na tong ho chung hi ding ahi.

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 [God prevails], which they murmur against you, cease from me.”

6 Hichun Mose’n Israel mipi chu hilgahna aneiyin chule Israel phungsom le ni lamkai ho jouse jong chu Aaron tenggol thingpeh jong chu ahin choiyun ahi.

Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails]; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods. Aaron [Light-bringer]’s rod was among their rods.

7 Mose’n hiche tenggol ho sese chu Pathen houbuh leitol Pathen um pettah in akoi lhah soh hel in houbuh het jing na ahi.

Moses [Drawn out] laid up the rods before Adonai in the Tent of the Testimony.

On the next day, Moses [Drawn out] went into the Tent of the Testimony; and behold, Aaron [Light-bringer]’s rod for the house of Levi [United with] had sprouted, budded, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

9 Hichun Mose’n Tenggol jouse chu Pathen masang nga ahin choi doh cheh in, aman hiche ho jouse chu mipi hochu avetsah soh keiye. Mi jousen ama ama phungkhai Tenggol vchu akilah cheh uvin ahi.

Moses [Drawn out] brought out all the rods from before Adonai to all the children of Israel [God prevails]. They looked, and each man took his rod.

Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Put back the rod of Aaron [Light-bringer] before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.”

11 Mose’n jong Pathen in ahil bang bang chun aboltan ahi.

Moses [Drawn out] did so. As Adonai enjoined him, so he did.

12 Israel mipiten Mose komma hitin asei uvin: Keiho pihi among thah ding bep’a um kahi tauve. Keiho athisa kahi tauve, kei ho akichai gam ding kahi tauve.

The children of Israel [God prevails] spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone!

13 Ajeh chu Pathen maicham nailut jouse a hiti thi thuthu jeng pihi ati tauve.

Everyone who keeps approaching Adonai’s tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?”
