Numbers 1
1 On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose mʼchipululu cha Sinai, mu tenti ya msonkhano, pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachiwiri, mʼchaka chachiwiri atatuluka mu Igupto, kuti,
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
“Werengani Aisraeli onse mʼmafuko awo ndi mʼmabanja awo, lemba dzina la munthu wamwamuna aliyense, mmodzimmodzi.
3 You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
Iwe ndi Aaroni mwawerenge mwa magulu awo mu Israeli, amuna onse a zaka makumi awiri zakubadwa ndi opitirirapo omwe angathe kugwira ntchito ya usilikali.
4 And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
Munthu mmodzi wochokera ku fuko lililonse yemwe ndi mtsogoleri wa banja lake, ndiye akuthandizeni pa ntchitoyi.
5 These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

16 These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.
Amenewa ndi anthu amene anasankhidwa kuchokera mʼmagulu mwawo, eni mbumba a mafuko a makolo awo. Iwowa anali atsogoleri a mafuko a Israeli.
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,
Mose ndi Aaroni anatenga anthu amene mayina awo anaperekedwa,
18 and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,
ndipo pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachiwiri, anasonkhanitsa anthu onse pamodzi. Anthuwo anafotokoza za makolo awo mwa mafuko awo ndi mabanja awo. Ndipo mayina a amuna onse amene anali ndi zaka makumi awiri kapena kupitirirapo analembedwa, mmodzimmodzi

Koma mabanja a fuko la Levi okha sanawawerenge pamodzi ndi ena.
48 For the LORD had said to Moses:
Pakuti Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
“Usawerenge fuko la Levi kapena kuliphatikiza mʼkawundula wa Aisraeli.
50 Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
Koma uyike Aleviwo kuti aziyangʼanira tenti yanga yopatulika, zipangizo zake ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo. Azinyamula tentiyo pamodzi ndi zipangizo zake zonse; azisamalira ndi kumanga misasa mozungulira tentiyo.
51 Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
Pamene akusamutsa tentiyo, Alevi ndiwo aziyitsitsa, akafuna kuyimanganso, Alevi ndiwo aziyimiritsa. Wina aliyense amene adzayandikire tentiyo adzaphedwa.
52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
Aisraeli azimanga matenti awo mʼmagulumagulu, munthu aliyense ku gulu lake pansi pa mbendera yake.
53 But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
Alevi nawonso, azimanga matenti awo mozungulira tenti yopatulika kuti chilango chisagwere Aisraeli onse. Ndipo Alevi aziyangʼanira ndi kusamalira tenti yopatulikayo.”
54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Choncho Aisraeli anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
