¹Huan, TOUPAN Mosi a houpiha,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²Aron houpih inla, a kiangah, Khawnvak na det chiangin khawnvak sagihten sathau khawnvak koihna ma lam a et ding uh ahi, chiin, chiin.

²Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

³Huan, Aronin huchibangin a hiha; TOUPAN Mosi thu a piak bangin khawnvak koihna ma lamah khawnvakte a de hi.

³And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁴Hiai khawnvak koihna dan ahihleh dangkaeng a sekthohchi ahi; a peu bul leh a pak tana sek ahi: TOUPAN a lim Mosi a etsak bang geiha khawnvak koihna bawl ahi.

⁴And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

⁵Huan, TOUPAN Mosi a houpiha,

⁵And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶Levite Israel suante lak akipan hihtuam inla, hihsiangthouin.

⁶Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁷Amaute hihsiangthou dingin hichibangin na hih ding hi: a tunguah sawpsiangna tui sung inla, a pumpi tengteng uh metsak inla, a puante uh sawpsak inla, kihihsiangthou sakin.

⁷And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

⁸Huan, bawngtal tuai khat a tangbuang thillat thau toh hel tangbuang nel mahmah toh lasak inla, huan, khelh thoihna ding bawngtal tuai khat dang leng na kaih ding ahi.

⁸Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.

⁹Huan, Levite kihoupihna puanin bulah pi inla, Israel suante omkhawmte tengteng kigawmkhawm sak vekin:

⁹And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

¹⁰Huan, Levite TOUPA kiangah na lan dinga; Israel suanten Levite tungah a khut uh a nga ding uh:

¹⁰And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

¹¹Huchiin Aronin Levite, TOUPA na a sep theihna ding uh Israel suante minin vei thillat TOUPA kiangah a lan ding.

¹¹And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.

¹²Huan, Leviten bawngtal lute ah a khut uh a nga ding ua; huan Levite adinga kilemna bawlna dingin, khat khelh thoihna dingin, khat halmang thillat dingin TOUPA kiangah na lan ding hi.

¹²And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

¹³Huan, Levite Aron leh a tapate maah na omsak dinga, TOUPA dingin vei thillat din na lat ding ahi.

¹³And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

¹⁴Huchibangin Israel tate lak akipan Levite na hihtuam dinga, huchiin Levite keia ahi ding uh.

¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

¹⁵Huan, huai khiat chiangin Levite kihoupihna puanin na sem dingin a lut ding ua, huan, nang amaute na hihsiangthou ding, vei thillat dingin na lan ding hi.

¹⁵And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.

¹⁶Israel suante lak akipana ka tuam dinga seh lah ahi ngal ua; sul hong tengteng Israel suante ta masapen teng tangin ka tuam dingin ka neita ahi.

¹⁶For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

¹⁷Israel tate laka ta masapen teng keia ahi him uh; Mihing toh ganta toh; Aigupta gama ta masapen teng la sihsak laiin ka tuam dinga ka sehsa ahi.

¹⁷For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

¹⁸Huchiin Israel suante laka ta masapen teng tangin Levite ka neikhinta ahi.

¹⁸And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

¹⁹Huchiin Israel suante tanga kihoupihna puanina na sem ding leh Israel taten mun siangthou a honnaih ua leng Israel tate laka hi a len louhna dinga lemna bawl dingin Israel tate lak akipan Levite Aron leh a tapate ka pia ahi, chiin.

¹⁹And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

²⁰Huchibangin Mosi te, Aron te, Israel suante omkhawm tengtengin Levite tungah a hih uhi. Levite tungtang thu-a TOUPAN Mosi thu a piak tengteng bangin a tunguah Isreal suanten a hih uhi.

²⁰And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

²¹Huchiin Levite khelhna lakah a kisiangsak ua, a puante uh a sawp ua; huan, Aronin TOUPA maah vei thillat dingin a lan; huan, amau hihsiangthouna dingin Aronin kilemna a bawlsak hi.

²¹And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.

²²Huan, huai zohin Levite Aron leh a tapate nuaia a nasepna uh sem dingin kihoupihna puanin sungah a lut uh: Levite tungtang thu-a TOUPA Mosi thu a piak bangin a tunguah a hihat hi.

²²And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

²³Huan TOUPAN Mosi a houpiha,

²³And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴Levite tantuam hiaite ahi: kum sawmnih leh kum nga chiang tunglamin kihoupihna puanina nasepna a sem ding uh:

²⁴This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

²⁵Kum sawmngaa upaten nasepna na a khawlsan ding ua, na a sem nawnta kei ding uh;Ahihhangin khawmpite biakbuk kepthu ah a unaute uh a huh liailiai jel ding ua, nasep jaw a sem nawn kei ding uh. Hichibangin Levite a nasep uh na gelsak ding ahi, chiin.

²⁵And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

²⁶Ahihhangin khawmpite biakbuk kepthu ah a unaute uh a huh liailiai jel ding ua, nasep jaw a sem nawn kei ding uh. Hichibangin Levite a nasep uh na gelsak ding ahi, chiin.

²⁶But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
