12 “Pakati pa Aisraeli onse ndatenga Alevi kulowa mʼmalo mwa mwana wamwamuna aliyense woyamba kubadwa kwa amayi a Chiisraeli. Alevi ndi anga,
'And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
13 pakuti ana onse oyamba kubadwa ndi anga. Nditakantha ana onse oyamba kubadwa mu Igupto, ndinadzipatulira ndekha mwana aliyense woyamba kubadwa mu Israeli, wa munthu ndi nyama. Azikhala anga. Ine ndine Yehova.”
