1Then the LORD said to Moses,
1Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2“Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’”
2Aaron han, Hmaiim na thlaek naah, hmaiim sarihto paanghaih tung hmabang ah thlaek hanah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
3And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
3To naah Aaron mah to tiah a sak; Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih mah hmaiim tung hmabang ah hmaiim to angqoisak boih.
4This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.
4Hmaiim tung loe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah patuek ih krang baktih toengah a sak; takung hoi tadong khoek to sui hoiah a sak.
5Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
6“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
6Israel kaminawk salak hoi Levinawk to la ah loe, ciimsak ah.
7This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
7Nihcae ciimsak hanah, hae tiah sah ah; ciimsakhaih tui to nihcae nuiah bawh ah; nganmui to aat o nasoe loe, khukbuennawk doeh pasuk o nasoe, to tiah ciimsak ah.
8Then have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.
8Saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto, cang hoi angbawnhaih sak ih baktiah, situi hoiah atok tangcae ih takaw dip hoi nawnto, zae angbawnhaih sak hanah, kalah saning kanawk maitaw tae maeto sin nasoe.
9Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel.
9Levinawk to amkhuenghaih kahni im hmabang ah angzosak ah loe, Israel acaeng kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak boih ah;
10You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.
10Levinawk to Angraeng hmaa ah hoi ah; to naah Israel kaminawk mah nihcae nuiah ban koeng o tih.
11Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD.
11Israel kaminawk mah tathlang o ih hmuen ah, Aaron mah Levinawk to Angraeng khaeah tathlang tih; to naah nihcae mah Angraeng ih tok to sah o tih.
12And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.
12Levi kaminawk mah maitaw lunawk nuiah ban koeng o tih; Levi kaminawk zae angbawnhaih sak hanah maitaw maeto, hmai hoi angbawnhaih sak hanah kalah maitaw maeto Angraeng khaeah paek ah.
13You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.
13Levi kaminawk to Aaron hoi a caanawk hmaa ah angdoesak ah loe, nihcae to tathlang ih hmuen ah Angraeng khaeah paek ah.
14In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.
14Hae tiah Levi kaminawk to Israel kaminawk salak hoi pahoe ah; Levinawk loe kai ih hmuen ah om o tih.
15After you have cleansed them and presented them as a wave offering, they may come to serve at the Tent of Meeting.
15To tiah Levinawk ciimsak hanah na tathlang pacoengah ni, nihcae loe amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah toksak han caeh o vop tih.
16For the Levites have been wholly given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself in place of all who come first from the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.
16Nihcae loe Israel kaminawk thungah kai khaeah takpum angpaek boih kami ah oh o; zok thung hoi tacawt kami boih, Israel kaminawk ih calu boih zuengah nihcae to ka lak boeh.
17For every firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set them apart for Myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.
17Kami maw, moi maw, Israel kaminawk ih calu boih loe kai ih ni; Izip prae ih calu to ka tamit boih naah, nihcae to kaimah hanah ka pahoe boeh.
18But I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
18Israel kaminawk thung ih calu boih zuengah, Levinawk to ka lak boeh.
19And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites, to perform the service for the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting and to make atonement on their behalf, so that no plague will come against the Israelites when they approach the sanctuary.”
19Israel kaminawk hmuenciim ah caeh o naah, nathaih kasae a tongh o han ai ah, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah tok to sak o moe, Israel caanawk akranghaih to a sak o hanah, Israel kaminawk thungah Levi kaminawk loe Aaron hoi a caanawk hanah tangqum ah ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
20So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.
20Levi kawng pongah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi, Aaron hoi Israel acaengnawk mah, Levinawk nuiah sak o.
21The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.
21Levinawk loe ciimcai o moe, khukbuennawk to pasuk o; Aaron mah nihcae han paek ih hmuen baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah a paek moe, nihcae ciim hanah angbawnhaih to a sak pae.
22After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22Levi kawng pongah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaminawk mah sak o; to pacoengah Levinawk loe kahni im ah toksak hanah, Aaron hoi a caanawk hma ah caeh o.
23And the LORD said to Moses,
23To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
24“This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years of age or older shall enter to perform the service in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24Levi kaminawk loe saning pumphae pangato akoep pacoengah ni, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksak han caeh o vop tih; hae loe Levinawk mah sak han koi tok ah oh.
25But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.
25Toe saning qui pangato akoep naah loe, kahni im thungah toksakhaih hoiah anghak o tih; toksah o mak ai boeh;
26After that, they may assist their brothers in fulfilling their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves are not to do the work. This is how you are to assign responsibilities to the Levites.”
26Angmacae nawkamyanawk hoi nawnto toksah o tih; toe nihcae loe toksah o mak ai boeh. Hae tiah Levi kaminawk mah sak han koi tok to sah paeh, tiah a naa.
