< Numbers 3 >
1 This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
Ìwọ̀nyí ni ìdílé Aaroni àti Mose ní ìgbà tí Olúwa bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ ní òkè Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni nìwọ̀nyí, Nadabu ni àkọ́bí, Abihu, Eleasari àti Itamari.
3 These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni ni ìwọ̀nyí, àwọn àlùfáà tí a fi òróró yàn, àwọn tí a fi joyè àlùfáà láti ṣiṣẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Nadabu àti Abihu ti kú níwájú Olúwa nígbà tí wọ́n rú iná àjèjì níwájú Olúwa nínú ijù Sinai, àwọn méjèèjì kò sì ní ọmọ. Báyìí Eleasari àti Itamari ló ṣiṣẹ́ àlùfáà nígbà ayé Aaroni baba wọn.
5 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
“Kó ẹ̀yà Lefi wá, kí o sì fà wọ́n fún Aaroni àlùfáà láti máa ràn án lọ́wọ́.
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.
Wọn yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ fún un àti fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn ní àgọ́ ìpàdé bí wọ́n ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú àgọ́.
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.
Wọn yóò máa tọ́jú gbogbo ohun èlò inú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì máa ṣe ojúṣe àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nípa ṣíṣe iṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́.
9 Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
Fi ẹ̀yà Lefi jì Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn nìkan ni a fi fún Aaroni nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
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.”
Kí o sì yan Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ àlùfáà; àlejò tó bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́ pípa ni kí ẹ pa á.”
11 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
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,
“Báyìí èmi fúnra mi ti mú ẹ̀yà Lefi láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí ọkùnrin àwọn ọmọbìnrin Israẹli. Ti èmi ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi,
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.”
nítorí pé ti èmi ni gbogbo àkọ́bí. Ní ọjọ́ tí mo pa gbogbo àkọ́bí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni mo ti ya gbogbo àkọ́bí sọ́tọ̀ ní Israẹli yálà ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko. Gbogbo wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ti èmi. Èmi ni Olúwa.”
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose ní aginjù Sinai pé,
15 “Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”
“Ka àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn kí o ka gbogbo ọmọkùnrin láti ọmọ oṣù kan sókè.”
16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.
Mose sì kà wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.
18 These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni: Libni àti Ṣimei.
19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Àwọn ìdílé Kohati ni: Amramu, Isari, Hebroni àti Usieli.
20 And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.
Àwọn ìdílé Merari ni: Mahili àti Muṣi. Wọ̀nyí ni ìdílé Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé baba wọn.
21 From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.
Ti Gerṣoni ni ìdílé Libni àti Ṣimei; àwọn ni ìdílé Gerṣoni.
22 The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.
Iye àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọ́n jẹ́ oṣù kan ó lé, jẹ́ ẹgbàata ó lé ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀jọ.
23 The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,
Àwọn ìdílé Gerṣoni yóò pa ibùdó sí ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn lẹ́yìn àgọ́.
24 and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.
Olórí àwọn ìdílé Gerṣoni ni Eliasafu ọmọ Láélì.
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,
Iṣẹ́ àwọn ìdílé Gerṣoni nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé ni pé àwọn yóò máa tọ́jú àgọ́, ìbòrí àgọ́, aṣọ títa ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé,
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.
aṣọ títa ti àgbàlá, aṣọ títa ti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá tó yí àgọ́ àti pẹpẹ ká, àwọn okùn rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ohun tó jẹ mọ́ lílò wọn.
27 From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.
Ti Kohati ní ìdílé Amramu, Isari, Hebroni àti Usieli, wọ̀nyí ni ìran Kohati.
28 The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.
Iye gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọn jẹ́ ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́rin ó lé ẹgbẹ̀ta, tí yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ ní ibi mímọ́.
29 The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,
Àwọn ìdílé Kohati yóò pa ibùdó wọn sí ìhà gúúsù ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ àgọ́.
30 and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
Olórí àwọn ìdílé Kohati ni Elisafani ọmọ Usieli.
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.
Àwọn ni yóò máa tọ́jú àpótí ẹ̀rí, tábìlì, ọ̀pá fìtílà, àwọn pẹpẹ, gbogbo ohun èlò ibi mímọ́ tí à ń lò fún iṣẹ́ ìsìn, aṣọ títa àti gbogbo ohun tó jẹ mọ́ lílò wọn.
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.
Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni àlùfáà ni alákòóso gbogbo àwọn olórí ìdílé Lefi. Òun ni wọ́n yàn lórí gbogbo àwọn tí yóò máa tọ́jú ibi mímọ́.
33 From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.
Ti Merari ni ìran Mahili àti Muṣi, àwọn ni ìran Merari.
34 The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.
Iye gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọ́n jẹ́ oṣù kan ó lé, èyí tí wọ́n kà jẹ́ igba mọ́kànlélọ́gbọ̀n.
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.
Olórí àwọn ìdílé ìran Merari ni Ṣurieli ọmọ Abihaili. Wọn yóò pa ibùdó wọn sí ìhà àríwá àgọ́.
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,
Àwọn ìran Merari ni a yàn fún títọ́jú àwọn férémù àgọ́, ọ̀pá ìdábùú rẹ̀, òpó rẹ̀, ihò òpó rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ohun èlò tó jẹ mọ́ lílò wọn.
37 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.
Iṣẹ́ wọn tún ni títọ́jú àwọn òpó tó yí àgbàlá ká, ihò òpó rẹ̀, èèkàn àti okùn wọn.
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.
Mose àti Aaroni pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ yóò pa àgọ́ ní ìdojúkọ ìwọ̀-oòrùn níwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé. Iṣẹ́ wọn ni láti máa mójútó iṣẹ́ ìsìn ibi mímọ́ àti láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Àlejò tó bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́ yàtọ̀ sí àwọn tí a yàn, pípa ni kí ẹ pa á.
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.
Àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí a kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún Mose àti Aaroni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìran wọn, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọn jẹ́ ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún.
40 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Ka gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin Israẹli láti ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé kí o sì ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ orúkọ wọn.
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.”
Kí o sì gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí o sì gba gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún mi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Èmi ni Olúwa.”
42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.
Mose sì ka gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un.
43 The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.
Àpapọ̀ iye àwọn àkọ́bí ọkùnrin láti ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé, ní àkọsílẹ̀ orúkọ wọn jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ó lé ọ̀rìnlúgba ó dín méje.
44 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
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.
“Gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti ohun ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò ohun ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Tèmi ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi. Èmi ni Olúwa.
46 To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,
Nísinsin yìí, láti lè ra ọ̀rìnlúgba dín méje àkọ́bí àwọn Israẹli tó ju iye àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ,
47 you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.
ìwọ yóò gba ṣékélì márùn-ún lórí ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye owó ibi mímọ́, èyí tí í ṣe ogún gera.
48 Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”
Owó tí a fi ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ Israẹli tó lé yìí, ni kí o kó fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.”
49 So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.
Nígbà náà ni Mose gba owó ìràpadà àwọn ènìyàn tó ṣẹ́kù lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ti ra àwọn yòókù padà.
50 He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
Mose sì gba egbèje ṣékélì ó dín márùndínlógójì gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ lọ́wọ́ àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
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.
Mose sì kó owó ìràpadà yìí fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, bí Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un.
