Numbers 3
1 This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
Pa inge fwilin tulik natul Aaron ac Moses ke pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sel Moses Fineol Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Oasr wen akosr natul Aaron: Nadab pa matu emeet, na Abihu, Eleazar, ac Ithamar.
3 These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
Elos akmusrala ac akmutalyeyukla nu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
4 Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
Tusruktu Nadab ac Abihu eltal misa ke sripen eltal tuh orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD yen mwesis Sinai, ke sie e ma tia mutal. Wangin tulik natultal, ke sripa se inge Eleazar ac Ithamar eltal oru orekma lun mwet tol ke lusen pacl Aaron el moul.
5 Then the LORD said to Moses,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
“Kuhlma sruf lal Levi nu meet uh, ac srisrngelosi tuh elos in mwet kulansap lal Aaron mwet tol.
7 They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.
Elos ac fah oru orekma ma eneneyuk nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac kulansupu mwet tol oayapa mwet Israel nukewa.
8 They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
Elos ac fah karingin kufwen mwe orekma nukewa ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac oru orekma ke inen mwet Israel nukewa.
9 Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
Pwayena ma kunen mwet Levi pa in kulansupal Aaron ac wen natul.
10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”
Kom fah srisrngilya Aaron ac wen natul in oru orekma lun mwet tol; kutena mwet saya su srike in orekma kac ac fah anwuki.”
11 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,
“Inge nga eis mwet Levi liki inmasrlon mwet Israel tuh elos in eis acn sin wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel. Ouinge mwet Levi nukewa elos ma nutik,
13 for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”
tuh wounse nukewa ma nutik. Ke nga tuh uniya wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Egypt, na nga akmutalye wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel tuh in ma nutik — kewana mwet ac kosro; elos fah ma nutik. Nga, LEUM GOD.”
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
In acn Mwesis Sinai LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses
15 “Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”
elan oakla mwet Levi fal nu ke kais sie sifen sou lulap lalos, ac elan simusla inen mukul nukewa ma malem seyak matwa.
16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.
Na Moses el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Pa inge inen wen tolu natul Levi: Gershon, Kohath, ac Merari. Elos pa matu in sou lulap lalos, su fwilin tulik natulos ekin.
18 These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
Oasr wen luo natul Gershon: Libni ac Shimei.
19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Oasr wen akosr natul Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, ac Uzziel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.
Oasr wen luo natul Merari: Mahli ac Mushi. Elos inge pa matu in sou lalos, su fwilin tulik natulos ekin, ac elos nukewa ma ke sruf lun Levi.
21 From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.
Fwilin tulik natul Libni ac fwilin tulik natul Shimei pa orala sou lulap se pangpang Gershon.
22 The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.
Pisa lulap ke mukul su malem seyak matwa in sou lulap se inge oasr ke tausin itkosr ac lumfoko.
23 The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,
Sou lulap se inge pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos tukun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen roto.
24 and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.
Eliasaph wen natul Lael pa mwet kol lun sou lulap se inge.
25 The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
Ma kunen mwet in sou lulap lal Gershon pa in karinganang Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, mwe afyuf loac, mwe afyuf lik, ac lisrlisr nu ke acn in utyak uh,
26 the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.
oayapa mwe lisrlisr ke inkul uh su rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac loang uh, ac lisrlisr nu ke nien utyak nu inkul uh. Elos pa ac fosrngakin orekma nukewa ma kupasr nu ke ma inge.
27 From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.
Fwil in tulik natul Amram, ac fwilin tulik natul Izhar, ac fwilin tulik natul Hebron, ac fwilin tulik natul Uzziel pa orala sou lulap se pangpang Kohath.
28 The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
Pisa lulap ke mukul malem seyak matwa in sou lulap se inge oasr ke tausin oalkosr ac onfoko.
29 The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,
Elos inge pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos layen eir ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal,
30 and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
ac Elizaphan wen natul Uzziel pa mwet kol lun sou lulap se inge.
31 Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.
Ma kunen mwet in sou lulap lal Kohath in karinganang Tuptup in Wuleang, tepu, sukan lam, loang uh, ahlu nukewa ma mwet tol elos orekmakin in Acn Mutal, ac mwe lisrlisr ke acn in utyak nu ke Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Elos pa ac fosrngakin orekma nukewa ma kupasr nu ke ma inge.
32 The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
Sifen mwet Levi nukewa pa Eleazar wen natul Aaron mwet tol. El pa kololos su oru orekma in Acn Mutal.
33 From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.
Fwilin tulik natul Mahli ac fwilin tulik natul Mushi pa orala sou lulap se pangpang Merari.
34 The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.
Pisa lulap ke mukul su malem seyak matwa oasr ke tausin onkosr ac luofoko.
35 The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.
Elos inge pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos layen epang ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac Zuriel wen natul Abihail pa mwet kol lun sou lulap se inge.
36 The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,
Ma kunen mwet in sou lulap lal Merari in karinganang frem ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, sukan brace uh, sru uh, kapin sru uh, ac kufwen mwe orekma nukewa nu kac. Elos pa ac fosrngakin orekma nukewa ma kupasr nu ke ma inge.
37 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.
Oayapa elos pa ac fosrngakin sru uh, kapin sru uh, kwi ac sucl nu ke kalkal lik ah.
38 Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.
Moses, Aaron ac wen natul pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen kutulap. Ma kunalos in oru orekma nukewa in Acn Mutal nu sin mwet Israel. Kutena mwet saya su srike in oru orekma inge ac tufah anwuki.
39 The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.
Pisa lulap ke mukul Levi nukewa su malem seyak matwa, su Moses el oakla ke kais sie sou lulap, fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin, oasr ke tausin longoul luo.
40 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses: “Oakla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel ma malem seyak matwa, ac simusla inelos.
41 You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”
Tusruktu, in aol wounse nukewa inge, nga fah eis mwet Levi tuh in ma nutik. Nga LEUM GOD. Ac nga fah eis kosro nutin mwet Levi in aol wounsien kosro nukewa nutin mwet Israel.”
42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.
Ouinge Moses el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac oakla wounse mukul nukewa
43 The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.
malem seyak matwa. Pisalos nukewa oasr ke tausin longoul luo ac luofoko itngoul tolu.
44 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.
“Kom fah eis mwet Levi tuh elos in ma nutik in aol wounsien mwet Israel nukewa, ac eis kosro nukewa nutin mwet Levi in ma nutik, aoliyen wounsien kosro nukewa nutin mwet Israel. Nga LEUM GOD fahk ouinge.
46 To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,
Ke sripen wounsien mwet Israel pus liki mwet Levi ke mwet luofoko itngoul tolu, kom enenu in moli nu sik lupa yolyak sac.
47 you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.
Molin kais sie selos pa ipin silver limekosr, fal nu srikasrak oakwuki nu kac.
48 Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”
Kom fah sang mani inge nu sel Aaron ac wen natul.”
49 So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.
Ouinge, Moses el akos ac eisani
50 He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
ipin silver tausin sie ac tolfoko onngoul limekosr
51 And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
ac sang nu sel Aaron ac wen natul, fal nu ke kas ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.
