Numbers 3
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Sinai mae ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah lokthuih naah, hae ih kaminawk loe Aaron hoi Mosi ih caanawk ah oh o.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron caanawk ih ahmin loe calu ah Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar hoi Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
Hae kaminawk loe qaima toksak hanah ampa mah situi bawh moe, pahoe ih Aaron caanawk ih ahmin ah oh.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Nadab hoi Abihu loe, Sinai praezaek ah sak koi ai kalah hmai hoi angbawnhaih a sak hoi pongah, Angraeng hmaa ah duek hoi hmaek; nihnik loe caa tawn hoi ai; to pongah Eleazar hoi Ithanar to ampa Aaron hmaa ah qaima tok a sak hoi.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
Levi acaengnawk to kawk loe, Aaron ih toksak hanah, anih hmaa ah caeh haih ah.
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Nihcae loe Aaron hoi kahni im ah amkhueng kaminawk ih kangaih tok to, amkhuenghaih kahni im hmaa ah sah o tih.
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Nihcae loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ih hmuenmaenawk boih khen o ueloe, Israel kaminawk mah sak han koi tok to sah o tih.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Levi kaminawk to Aaron hoi a caanawk khaeah paek ah; Israel caanawk thung hoi qoi ah loe anih khaeah paek boih ah.
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Aaron hoi anih ih caanawk doeh qaima toksak hanah paek ah; hmuenciim taengah kacaeh minawk kalah loe dueksak han oh, tiah a naa.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from amongst the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb amongst the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
khenah, Israel kaminawk thung hoi tapen calu boih zuengah, Israel kaminawk thung hoi Levi kaminawk to ka qoih boeh pongah, Levi kaminawk loe kai ih ni;
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
