Numbers 10
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BWANA alinena na Musa, akasema,
2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.
“tengenza tarumbeta mbili za fedha. Uzitengeneze kwa kufua hizo fedha. Utazitumia hizo tarumbeta kwa kuwaita watu waje pamoja na kwa kuwaita watu wote wakati wa kuondoka kwenye kambi zao.
3 When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Makuhani watapiga tarumbeta kwa ajili ya kuwaita watu wote mbele yako kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
4 But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.
Kama makuhani watapiga tarumbeta moja tu, basi viongozi, vichwa koo za Israeli ndipo watakapokutana kwako.
5 When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.
Utakapopiga tarumbeta ya sauti kuu, ile kambi ya upande wa mashariki itaanza kusafiri.
6 When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.
Nawe utakapopiga tarumeta kwa sauti kuu mara ya pili, ile kambi ya upande wa kusini wataanza kusafiri. Watapiga tarumbeta kwa sauti kuu ili kuanza safari yao.
7 To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.
Watu wote watakapokutana pamoja, piga hizo tarumbeta lakini si kwa sauti kuu.
8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.
Wana wa Haruni, makuhani, watapiga hizo tarumbeta. Huu ndio utakaokuwa utaratibu wa watu wako kwa vizazi vyote.
9 When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.
Nanyi mtakapoenda vitani katika ardhi yenu dhidi ya maadui wenu wanaowakandamiza, ndipo mtakapotoa ishara ya sauti ya tarumbeta. Mimi, BWANA Mungu wako nitawaita kuwakumbuka na kuwaokoa kutoka kwa maadui wenu.
10 And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
Pia, wakati wa kusherehekea, sikukuu zenu za kawaida na katika miandamo ya miezi, mtapiga tarumbeta zenu kwa heshima ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na kwa sadaka zenu za amani. Huu utakuwa ukumbusho wenu kwangu, Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu.”
11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,
Katika siku ya ishrini, mwezi wa pili, mwaka wa pili, Lile wingu liliinuliwa toka masikani ya amri za maagano.
12 and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.
Wana wa Israeli wakaendelea na safari yao toka jangwa la Sinai. Lile wingu likasimama kwenye jangwa la Parani.
13 They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.
Walifanya safari yao ya kwanza, kufuatia amri ya BWANA iliyotolewa kupitia kwa Musa.
14 First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
Kambi ya mahali pa uzao wa Yuda iliondoka ya kanza, wakiondoa majeshi yao binafsi. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Yuda.

21 Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.
Kabila la Kohathi nalo lilianza safari. Wao walibebba vyombo vya mahali patakatifu. Wengine waliisimamisha masikani kabla ya Wakohathi kufika kambi inayofuata.
22 Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.
Majeshi ya kabila la uzao wa Efraimu ndio waliofuata. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi ndiye aliyeongoza jeshi la Efraimu.
23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.
Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza jeshi la uzao wa kabila ya Naftali.
28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.
Hivi ndivyo majeshi ya wana wa Israeli yalivyosafiri.
29 Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
Musa alinena na Hobibu mwana wa Reueli wa Kabila la Midiani. Reueli alikuwa baba mke wa Musa. Musa akanena na Hobibu akasema, “Tunasafiri kuelekea mahali ambapo BWANA ametuahidi. BWANA alisema kuwa, “Nitawapeni ninyi hilo eneo, 'Njoni pamoja nasi na tutawatendea mema. BWANA ameahidi kuwafanyia mema Waisraeli.”
30 “I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”
Lakini Hobibu akmwambia Musa, “Sitaambatana nanyi.”
31 “Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.
Naye Musa akamjibu, “Tafadhali msituache. Mnajua jinsi ilivyo kuweka kambi jangwani. Tunaomba mtujali.
32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”
Kama mtaambatana nasi tutawatendea mema sawa na jinsi BWANA anavyotutendea.”
33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.
Walisafiri kutoka mlima wa BWANA kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la agano la BWANA liliwatangulia kwa siku tatu ili kupata mahali pa kupumzika.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
Wingu la BWANA lilikuwa juu yao muda wote wa mchana walipokuwa safarini.
35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”
Kila hilo sanduku liliposafiri kwenda mbele, Musa alisema, “Inuka BWANA, Uwatawanye maadui wako. Uwafanye wale wanaokuchukia kukukimbia.”
36 And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
Na kila lile sanduku liliposimama, Musa alisema, “BWANA uwarudie, hawa Waisraeli makumi elfu.”
