Numbers 26
1 After the plague had ended, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
Esi dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Eleazar, si nye nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu be,
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by the houses of their fathers—all those twenty years of age or older who can serve in the army of Israel.”
“Mixlẽ Israelvi siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema ne miakpɔ ame siwo ate ŋu ayi aʋa tso to ɖe sia ɖe kple hlɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe me.”
3 So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest issued the instruction,
Ale le Moab tagba, le Yɔdan gbɔ tso Yeriko, Mose kple Eleazar, nunɔla la, ƒo nu kple wo, eye wogblɔ be,
4 “Take a census of the men twenty years of age or older, as the LORD has commanded Moses.” And these were the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt:
“Mixlẽ ŋutsu siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.” Woawoe nye Israelvi siwo ʋu tso Egiptenyigba dzi.

10 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign.
Eya ta anyigba ke nu mi wo, eye dzo tso Yehowa gbɔ wu ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃ wòzu ŋkuɖodzinu.

52 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Azɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
53 “The land is to be divided among the tribes as an inheritance, according to the number of names.
“Wòama anyigba la ɖe to vovovoawo dome le toawo me tɔwo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu, abe ale si amexexlẽ la fia ene.
54 Increase the inheritance for a large tribe and decrease it for a small one; each tribe is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those registered.
To siwo me amewo sɔ gbɔ le la, woaxɔ anyigba wòalolo, eye to siwo me amewo mesɔ gbɔ le o la ƒe anyigba nanɔ sue.
55 Indeed, the land must be divided by lot; they shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.
Yehowa ɖo na Mose be, Kpɔ egbɔ be yewodzidze nu hafi ma anyigba la, eye woaxɔ domenyinu ɖe wo fofowo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔ nu.
56 Each inheritance is to be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes.”
Woama domenyinu ɖe sia ɖe to akɔdada me ɖe to gãwo kple to suewo siaa dome.”

59 and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.

61 but Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD.
Nadab kple Abihu woku esi wodo dzudzɔ makɔmakɔ na Yehowa.)
62 The registration of the Levites totaled 23,000, every male a month old or more; they were not numbered among the other Israelites, because no inheritance was given to them among the Israelites.
Levi ƒe vi siwo katã woxlẽ wonye ŋutsuwo, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃. Ke womebu Levi ƒe viwo de Israelviwo ƒe amexexlẽ ƒe nukpɔkpɔ blibo la me o, elabena womena anyigba Levi ƒe viwo esi woma anyigba ɖe toawo dome o.
63 These were the ones numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.
Ale esiae nye Israelvi siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar tia xlẽ le Moab gbegbe le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to le Yeriko kasa.
64 Among all these, however, there was not one who had been numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai.
Wo dometɔ ɖeka gɔ̃ hã menɔ ame siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar xlẽ esime woxlẽ Israelviwo le Sinai gbegbe la dome o.
65 For the LORD had told them that they would surely die in the wilderness. Not one was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Israelvi mawo be, woaku godoo le gbegbe la; wo dometɔ aɖeke mesusɔ o, negbe Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu.
