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:
Le Israelviwo ƒe dzodzo le Egipte ƒe ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ si nye Israelviwo ƒe ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, Mawu nɔ agbadɔ la me le Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me le Sinai gbedzi. Yehowa gblɔ nya siawo na Mose be,
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
“Mi kple Aron mixlẽ Israel dukɔ la katã ɖe woƒe towo kple ƒomewo nu.
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.
Miŋlɔ Israel ŋutsu siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la, eye woate ŋu awɔ aʋa la ƒe ŋkɔwo.
4 And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
Eye miɖe ŋutsu ɖekaɖeka le to sia to me, ame siwo anye kplɔlawo na toawo be woakpe ɖe ŋuwò.
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.
Ame siawoe wotia tso ameawo dome be woanye kplɔlawo na Israel to vovovoawo.

47 The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
Ke womexlẽ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe ƒomewo kple aƒewo kpe ɖe wo ŋuti o.
48 For the LORD had said to Moses:
Elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
“Ɖe Levi ƒe viwo katã ɖa le amexexlẽ sia me, eye mègabu wo kpe ɖe Israelvi bubuwo ƒe xexlẽme ŋu o,
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.
elabena Levi ƒe viwo ƒe dɔdeasiwo ku ɖe Agbadɔ la kple ekɔkɔ tso teƒe ɖeka yi teƒe bubu ŋu. Woanɔ Agbadɔ la gbɔ,
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.
eye ɣe sia ɣi si woaho Agbadɔ la ayi teƒe bubu la, Levi ƒe viwoe akakae, eye woawoe agakpee; ne ame bubu aɖe te va la, aku.
52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
Israelviwo ƒe to vovovoawo aƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe teƒe vovovowo, ɖe sia ɖe kple eƒe aflaga tɔxɛ
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.”
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe agbadɔwo aƒo xlã Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la, eye woanɔ eŋu dzɔm, ale be ame aɖeke mate ɖe eŋu, ana be nye dɔmedzoe nafla, eye matsrɔ̃ Israel dukɔ la o.”
54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Ale Israelviwo wɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na Mose la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
