< Numbers 3 >

1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Hina Gode da Sainai Goumia Elane amola Mousesema sia: i. Amo esoga, ela sosogo fi da agoane galu.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Elane egefelali da biyaduyale galu. Ilia dio, magobo Na: ida: be. Amo baligia da Abaihiu, Elia: isa amola ufidafa da Idama.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
Ilia huluane da gobele salasu dunu hamoma: ne susuligi legele, momogili gagai dagoi ba: i.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Be Na: ida: be amola Abaihiu da sia: mae nabane, hame hadigi lalu amo Sainai hafoga: i sogega Hina Godema imunusa: dawa: beba: le, Hina Gode da ela medole legei. Ela da mano hame. Amaiba: le, Elane da esalea, Elia: isa amola Idama da eda Elane esalebeba: le, gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamonanu.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Lifai fi dunu oule misini, ilia da gobele salasu dunu Elane amo ea hawa: hamoma: ne, Lifai dunu momogili gagama.
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Ilia da eno hawa: hamosu hame hamomu. Ilia da Elane amola ea mano fawane fidimu.
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Be dia Elane amola ea mano amo elea gobele salasu hawa: hamosu fawane hamoma: ne ilegema. Be nowa dunu eno da ilia hawa: hamosu amo udigili hamomusa: dawa: sea, amo medole legema!
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
“Na da wali Lifai fi amo Na dunu fi ilegei dagoi. Na da Idibidi dunu ilia mano magobo huluane medole legeiba: le, Na da Isala: ili mano magobo huluanedafa amola ohe fi mano magobo huluane, amo Na hawa: hamomusa: gini ilegele momogili gagai dagoi. Be Isala: ili magobo huluane mae lale, Na da wali Lifai fi dunu huluane lalegagumu. Ilia da Na fi dunu esalumu. Bai Na da Hina Gode.
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
