Brojevi 3
1 Ovo je potomstvo Aronovo i Mojsijevo iz vremena kad je Jahve Mojsiju govorio na Sinajskom brdu.
These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
2 Ovo su bila imena Aronovih sinova: prvorođenac Nadab, zatim Abihu, Eleazar i Itamar.
Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 To su imena Aronovih sinova, svećenika pomazanih, za svećeništvo posvećenih.
They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
4 Ali Nadab i Abihu umriješe pred Jahvom kad su u Sinajskoj pustinji pred njim prinosili neposvećenu vatru. Kako nisu imali sinova, to su Eleazar i Itamar služili kao svećenici u nazočnosti svoga oca Arona.
But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
5 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
6 “Dozovi pleme Levijevo neka stane pred svećenika Arona. Neka mu poslužuju;
“Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
7 neka vrše njegovu dužnost i dužnost sve zajednice pred Šatorom sastanka, služeći Prebivalištu.
They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
8 Neka se brinu za sav namještaj u Šatoru sastanka, za dužnost sinova izraelovih, i obavljaju službu u Prebivalištu.
They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
9 Podaj levite Aronu i njegovim sinovima. Neka mu ih Izraelci potpuno daruju.
Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
10 Arona i njegove sinove postavi da vrše svoju svećeničku službu. A svjetovnjak koji bi se tome približio neka se pogubi.”
Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
11 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
12 “Ja, evo, uzimam Levijevce između Izraelaca namjesto svih prvorođenaca - onih koji otvaraju materinju utrobu kod Izraelaca. Moji su, dakle, Levijevci!
“Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
13 Meni, naime, pripada svaki prvorođenac. Onoga dana kad sam pobio sve prvence u zemlji egipatskoj, sebi sam posvetio sve prvorođence u Izraelu - i od ljudi i od stoke. Oni su moji. Ja sam Jahve.”
because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
14 Jahve reče Mojsiju u Sinajskoj pustinji:
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
15 “Popiši Levijevce po njihovim porodicama i rodovima; popiši sve muškarce od jednoga mjeseca i više.”
“Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
16 Na zapovijed Jahvinu Mojsije ih popisa, kako mu je bilo naređeno.

Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side.

[Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
39 Svih popisanih Levijevaca od jednoga mjeseca naviše, koje je na Jahvinu zapovijed po njihovim rodovima popisao Mojsije i Aron, bijaše dvadeset i dvije tisuće.
When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
40 Jahve rekne Mojsiju: “Popiši sve muške prvorođence izraelske od jednoga mjeseca naviše te načini popis njihovih imena.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
41 I levite dodijeli meni - ja sam Jahve - namjesto svih prvorođenaca izraelskih, a stoku levitsku namjesto sve prvenčadi stoke izraelske.”
Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
42 Tako Mojsije popiše sve prvorođence izraelske, kako mu je Jahve naredio.
So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
43 Svih muških prvorođenaca od jednoga mjeseca naviše bijaše u popisu imena dvadeset i dvije tisuće i dvije stotine sedamdeset i tri.

“Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
46 A za otkupninu dvjesta sedamdeset i triju izraelskih prvorođenaca što ih je više nego levita,
There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
47 uzmi pet šekela po glavi, uzmi ih prema hramskom šekelu: dvadeset gera - jedan šekel.
To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
48 Onda podaj taj novac Aronu i njegovim sinovima za otkupninu onih kojih je odviše.”
