Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Esiawoe nye Aron kple Mose viwo, le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Sinai to la dzi la.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Viŋutsu enee nɔ Aron si. Woawoe nye Nadab, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests, on whom the holy oil was put, who were marked out as priests.
Wosi ami na wo katã, eye woɖo wo nunɔlawoe. Woɖe wo ɖe aga be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo le Agbadɔ la me.
4 And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.
Ke Nadab kple Abihu ku le Yehowa ŋkume le Sinai gbedzi esi wowɔ dzo makɔmakɔ ŋu dɔ le vɔsasa na Yehowa me. Esi vi aɖeke menɔ wo si o ta la, Eleazar kple Itamar koe susɔ akpe ɖe wo fofo, Aron ŋuti.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Eya ta Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
“Yɔ Levi ƒe viwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye nàtsɔ wo ana nunɔla Aron abe eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo ene.
7 In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;
Woawɔ nu siwo Aron aɖo na wo. Woawɔ dɔ kɔkɔewo le Agbadɔ la me ɖe Israelviwo katã nu,
8 And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.
Woakpɔ Agbadɔ la me nuwo kple Agbadɔ blibo la dzi
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
elabena wotsɔ wo katã na Aron abe Israelviwo katã ƒe teƒenɔlawo ene.
10 And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.
Ke Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo koe awɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔdeasiwo. Ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe si atɔ asi akɔ be yeawɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ la, woawui.”
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;
“Metsɔ Levi ƒe viwo le Israelviwo dome ɖe Israel nyɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒe viŋutsu gbãtɔ teƒe. Levi ƒe viwo nye tɔnyewo.
13 For all the first sons are mine; on the day when I put to death all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I took for myself every first male birth of man and beast. They are mine; I am the Lord.
Metsɔ wo ɖɔli viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo. Tso gbe si gbe mewu Egiptetɔwo ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔwo la, mexɔ Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo, amegbetɔwo tɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa na ɖokuinye! Tɔnyewoe wonye; nyee nye Yehowa!”
14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai gbegbe la be,
15 Let all the children of Levi be numbered by their families and their fathers' houses; let every male of a month old and over be numbered.
“Xlẽ Levi ƒe viwo le woƒe ƒomewo kple towo nu. Xlẽ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema.”
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
Ale Mose xlẽ wo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya ɖo nɛ ene.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Gerson, Kohat kple Merari
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Gerson ƒe viwo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye esiawo le woƒe ƒomewo nu: Libni kple Simei.
19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohat ƒe viwo nye esiawo le woƒe ƒomewo nu: Amram, Izhar, Hebron kple Uziel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.
Eye Merari ƒe viwoe nye esiawo le woƒe ƒomewo nu: Mahli kple Musi. Esiawo nye Levi ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome le woƒe aƒewo nu.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Gerson hawo nye Libni kple Simei ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome. Woawoe nye Gerson ƒe ƒomeawo.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Wotia ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la xlẽ le wo dome, eye woƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe adre, alafa atɔ̃.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Eye Gerson ƒe ƒome la ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe nɔƒe la megbe le ɣedzeƒe gome.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Gerson ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Eliasaf, Lael ƒe viŋutsu.
25 In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,
Gerson ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ eve siawo ƒe dɔdeasiwoe nye, woakpɔ nɔƒe kple agbadɔ la, la gbɔ, egbãnuwo, mɔnuwo kple eŋu vɔ,
26 And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.
kpɔ si ƒo xlã nɔƒe la, vɔsamlekpui la kple ka siwo katã wotsɔ bla agbadɔ la ɖekae kple mɔnuvɔ la dzi.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohat ƒe ƒomeawoe nye: Amram ƒe viwo, Izhar ƒe viwo, Hebron ƒe viwo kple Uziel ƒe viwo.
28 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were eight thousand, six hundred, who were responsible for the care of the holy place.
Ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la ƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe enyi, alafa ade. Woawo nakpɔ kɔkɔeƒe la me nuwo dzi.
29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
Kohat ƒe ƒome la naƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe nɔƒe la ƒe axadzi le dzigbeme lɔƒo.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Kohat ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Elizafan, Uziel ƒe viŋutsu.
31 In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ ene siawo ƒe dɔdeasiwoe nye, woakpɔ nubablaɖaka la, kplɔ̃ la, akaɖiti, vɔsamlekpui la ƒe nu vovovo siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le agbadɔ la me, xɔmetsovɔ kple nu siwo katã hiã be woadzra ɖo le nu siawo ŋu la dzi.
32 Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.
Eleazar, nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu anye kplɔlawo katã ƒe tatɔ, eye kɔkɔeƒe la dzi kpɔkpɔ nye eƒe dɔ tɔxɛ.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Merari hawo nye: Mahli ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome kple Musi ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome. Woawoe nye Merari ƒe ƒomeawo.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
Wo dome ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la ƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe ade alafa eve.
35 The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.
Merari ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Zuriel, Abihail ƒe viŋutsu; woawo naƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe axadzi le anyiehe lɔƒo.
36 And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ eve siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye woakpɔ ati siwo wotsɔ tu Agbadɔ la, sɔtiwo kple woƒe zɔwo kple nu sia nu si wohiã na wo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ la dzi,
37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
eye woagakpɔ sɔti siwo ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu la, woƒe zɔwo kple tsyotiwo kple kawo dzi.
38 And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.
Wotia teƒe si le agbadɔ la ƒe ɣedzeƒe la da ɖi na Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe agbadɔwo. Ame siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakpɔ be agbadɔ la dzi kpɔlawo wɔ woƒe dɔdeasiwo pɛpɛpɛ ɖe Israelviwo nu. Ame sia ame si menye nunɔla alo Levi ƒe vi o, gake wòge ɖe agbadɔ la me la, aku.
39 All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.
Ale Levi ƒe viwo katã, siwo Mose kple Aron xlẽ abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ ene, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Azɔ la, xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la, eye nàŋlɔ wo katã ŋkɔ.
41 And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe. Nyee nye Yehowa.”
42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Ale Mose xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene,
43 Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
eye wòkpɔ be viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be,
45 Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.
“Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ɖɔli Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo aɖɔli Israelviwo tɔe. Levi ƒe viwo anye tɔnyewo; nyee nye Yehowa.
46 And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,
Be nàƒle Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbevi alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, siwo sɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ta la,
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
ele be nàxɔ klosaloga gram blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ɖe wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ta, ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu, si ƒe kpekpeme nye gram ewo.
48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Tsɔ ga si wona hena Israelvi mamlɛawo ɖeɖe la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.”
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Ale Mose xɔ taƒlega ɖe Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ alafa eve, blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, ame siwo wotsɔ wosɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ƒe xexlẽme la ta.
50 From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;
Ga si woxɔ le Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo si la ƒe kpekpeme le klosalo kilogram wuiatɔ̃ kple afã le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
Mose tsɔ taƒlega la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya de see nɛ ene.
