Numbers 4
1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from amongst the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
Angmacae acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kaom kami baktih toengah, Levi acaeng ah kaom Kohath ih caanawk to kroek ah,
3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak hanah, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpanawk to kroek boih ah.
4 “This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, regarding the most holy things.
Kohath caanawk mah khetzawn ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im loe, ciimcai koek ahmuen ah oh.
5 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in with his sons; and they shall take down the veil of the screen, cover the ark of the Testimony with it,
Ohhaih ahmuen angpuen o naah, Aaron hoi a caanawk to angzo o tih, nihcae mah a nuiah khuk ih kahni to khring o ueloe, hnukung ah kaom thingkhong to khuk o tih.
6 put a covering of sealskin on it, spread a blue cloth over it, and put in its poles.
To pacoengah tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o tih; to hmuen ih a nuiah rong kamiing kahni to khuk o ueloe, cung to angmah ih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
7 “On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
Caboi nui ih takaw to kahni kamiing hoiah kraeng o tih, to ah sabaenawk, kathuk sabaenawk, naek han koi tui lawnhaih boengloengnawk, takawnawk to apet ai ah suem o tih;
8 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
to ih hmuen nuiah kamling kahni to baih o tih; a nuiah tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o ueloe, cung to angmah ahmuen ah suem o tih.
9 “They shall take a blue cloth and cover the lamp stand of the light, its lamps, its snuffers, its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.
Kahni kamiing to la o ueloe, hmaithawk, hmaiim, hmai ataephaih taitaehnawk, hmai cenhaih boengloeng, hmaitui suekhaih boengloengnawk boih to khuk o tih; to tiah nihcae mah toksah o tih.
10 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.
To pacoengah to ih laom sabaenawk boih to tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah ayaw o hmoek pacoengah, aputhaih to sah o tih.
11 “On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
Sui hmaicam nuiah kahni kamiing to baih o ueloe, tuipui caham ih ahin hoiah khuk o tih; aputhaih cung to angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
12 “They shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
Hmuenciim thungah toksak naah hmuenmaenawk to la o boih ueloe, kahni kamiing hoiah ayaw o tih; tuipui caham hin hoi khuk o pacoengah, aputhaih to sah o tih.
13 “They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
Nihcae mah hmaicam pong ih maiphunawk to takhoek o ueloe, a nuiah kahni kamling hup to khuk o tih.
14 They shall put on it all its vessels with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins—all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
To hmaicam ah toksak naah kangaih hmuennawk, laom sabaenawk, moi banghaih sumnawk, moi thunhaih sumnawk, hmai kamngaeh sohhaih sum kangphaeknawk, tui bawhhaih boengloengnawk hoi hmaicam ih laom sabaenawk to a nuiah suem o boih tih; to hmuen to tuipui caham hin hoiah khuk o ueloe, aputhaih cung to a ohhaih ahmuen ah suem o tih.
15 “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. The sons of Kohath shall carry these things belonging to the Tent of Meeting.
Ataihaih ahmuen angpuen han oh naah, Aaron hoi a caanawk loe, hmuenciim hoi hmuenciim ih laom sabaenawk to khuk o pacoengah, to hmuennawk to aput hanah, Kohath ih caanawk angzo o tih; toe nihcae loe kaciim hmuen to sui o mak ai; sui o nahaeloe dueh o tih. Hae hmuennawk loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Kohath ih caanawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh.
16 “The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar mah sak han koi tok loe hmaitui, hmai thlaek koi hmuihoih, ni thokkruek paek ih cang hoi lu bawhhaih situi, kahni im hoi a thung ih hmuennawk boih, hmaicam hoi a thung ih laom sabaenawk boih to khenzawn tih, tiah a naa.
17 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
18 “Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from amongst the Levites;
Kohath imthung takoh to Levi acaeng thung hoiah takhoe ving hmah;
19 but do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone to his service and to his burden;
to pongah kaciim koek ahmuen ah caeh hoi naah, duekhaih thung hoiah loih moe, hing thai hanah, hae tiah nihcae han sah paeh; Aaron hoi a caanawk to hmuenciim thungah akun o hmaloe ueloe, kaminawk boih mah sak han koi hmuen hoi tok to tapraek pae tih:
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
toe ciimcai hmuennawk kraeng nathuem ah, to hmuennawk khet hanah Kohath ih caanawk a thungah caehsak hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
21 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
22 “Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
Gershon caanawk doeh angmacae ih acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kami ih ahmin to la ah;
23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old: all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah kaom kaminawk angaihaih toksak hanah, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpanawk to kroek boih ah.
24 “This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
Gershon imthung takoh mah sak moe, aput han koi hmuennawk loe hae tiah oh;
25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, the covering of sealskin that is on it, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
kahni im ah payang ih kahni, rangpui amkhuenghaih kahni im, a nui khuk ih kahninawk, a nui khukhaih tuipui caham ahinnawk, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im, amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah payang ih kahninawk,
26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the gate of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.

27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all their responsibilities.
Gershon acaengnawk mah sak ih hmuen hoi aput han koi hmuennawk boih loe, Aaron hoi a caanawk mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah o tih; nihcae mah aput han koi hmuenawk boih to thui pae o tih.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting. Their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Hae hmuennawk loe Gershon imthung takoh mah, kami amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah sak han koi tok ah oh; nihcae toksakhaih loe Aaron capa qaima Ithamar mah khenzawn tih.
29 “As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
Merari ih caanawk doeh angmacae ih acaeng hoi imthung takoh ah kaom kaminawk baktih toengah kroek ah;
30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak han kangzo, saning qui thumto hoi saning qui pangato kaom nongpa to kroek boih ah.
31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
Nihcae mah kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im to sak moe, aput o han koi tok loe, kahni im sakhaih thingnawk, pakhang ih thingnawk, tungnawk hoi tung padoethaih hmuennawk,
32 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. You shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden to them by name.
longhma taeng boih ah kaom tungnawk, tung padoethaih hmuennawk, sumnawk, quinawk, toksak naah patoh ih hmuennawk to sah o boih tih; nihcae mah aput ih hmuennawk to pakuem moe, kroek boih han oh.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
Hae hmuen loe Aaron capa qaima Ithamar mah khethaih tlim ah, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Merari ih caanawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh, tiah a naa.
