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.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Erọn na Mosis nʼoge Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼugwu Saịnaị.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, Nadab, ọkpara ya, Abihu, Elieza na Itama.
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.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, ndị e tere mmanụ ịbụ ndị nchụaja, ndị e doro nsọ nʼihi ije ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka Nadab na Abihu nwụọ, nʼihu ya nʼime ọzara Saịnaị, mgbe ha ji ọkụ na-adịghị nsọ wetara ya onyinye. Ebe ọ bụ na ha amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom nke aka ha, ọ bụ naanị Elieza na Itama jere ozi dịka ndị nchụaja ogologo ụbọchị ndụ nna ha bụ Erọn.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
“Kpọkọtaa ebo Livayị niile were ha nyefee Erọn onye nchụaja nʼaka, ka ha bụrụ ndị inyeaka ya.
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;
Ha ga-ejere ya na nzukọ Izrel niile ozi nʼụlọ nzute ahụ site na ịrụ ọrụ metụtara ebe obibi ahụ.
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.
Ha ga-elekọta ngwongwo ụlọ nzute, rụọ ọrụ metụtara ndị Izrel niile mgbe ha na-eje ozi ha nʼebe obibi ahụ.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
Were ndị Livayị nyefee Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼaka. Ọ bụ ha ka a ga-esi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel nyefee ha nʼaka kpamkpam.
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.
Họpụta Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha bụrụ ndị na-eje ozi dịka ndị nchụaja. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara nso ebe nsọ ahụ ka a ga-egbu.”
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
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;
“Anarala m ndị Livayị dịka ndị nọchitere anya ụmụ ndị ikom mbụ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m.
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.
Nʼihi na ihe niile meghere akpanwa bụ nke m. Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m gburu ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt ka m doro ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ndị Izrel nsọ nye onwe m, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ bụ nke m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼọzara Saịnaị sị ya,
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.
“Gụọ, chọpụta ihe ọnụọgụgụ ebo Livayị bụ. Gosi ikwu na ezinaụlọ onye ọbụla si nʼime ya pụta. Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile site nʼonye dị otu ọnwa.”
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
Ya mere, Mosis gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka iwu ọ natara site nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Livayị: Geshọn, Kohat na Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Ndị a bụ aha ndị ikwu Geshọn dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị: Libni na Shimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.
Ụmụ Kohat dịka ikwu ha si dị: Amram, Izha, Hebrọn na 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.
Ụmụ Merari dịka ikwu ha si dị: Mahali na Mushi. Ndị a bụ ndị agbụrụ Livayị, dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Ndị Geshọn bụ ndị ikwu Libni na Shimei. Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Geshọn.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku asaa na narị ise.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Ndị ikwu Geshọn mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, nʼazụ ụlọ nzute.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị Geshọn bụ Eliasaf nwa Lael.
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,
Ọrụ dịrị ụmụ Geshọn bụ ilekọta ụlọ nzute ahụ, na ụlọ ikwu ya, na ihe mkpuchi ya, na akwa mgbochi ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.
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.
Ọ dịkwa ha nʼaka ilekọta akwa mgbochi niile nke ogige gbara ya gburugburu, na akwa e ji gechie ọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ. Ha nwekwara ọrụ ilekọta ebe ịchụ aja, na ụdọ niile, na ozi niile metụtara ihe ndị a.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Nke Kohat bụ ikwu ndị Aram, ndị Izha, ndị Hebrọn na ndị Uziel. Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Kohat.
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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku asatọ na narị isii. Ọrụ dịrị ndị Kohat bụ ilekọta ebe nsọ.
29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
Ndị ikwu Kohat mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ebe nsọ.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị ikwu Kohat bụ Elizafan nwa Uziel.
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.
Ọrụ e tinyere ha nʼaka bụ ilekọta igbe ọgbụgba ndụ, tebul ahụ, ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ na ebe ịchụ aja. Ihe ọzọ bụ ilekọta ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ, akwa mgbochi na ihe niile metụtara otu e si e ji ha eje ozi.
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.
Onyeisi ndị ndu nke ndị Livayị bụ Elieza nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja. Ọ bụ ya na-elekọta ndị ọrụ ha bụ ihu maka ihe niile metụtara ebe nsọ ahụ.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Ndị Merari bụ ikwu Mahali na Mushi. Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Merari.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku isii na narị abụọ.
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.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị ikwu Merari bụ Zuniel nwa Abihail. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
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,
Ọrụ e tinyere nʼaka ndị ikwu Merari bụ ilekọta mbudo niile nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mkpọrọ ya niile, ụkwụ ya niile, na ngwongwo niile e kwesiri iji rụọ ọrụ metụtara ha.
37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
Ọrụ ndị ọzọ bụ ilekọta ogidi osisi niile dị gburugburu ogige ahụ ha na ụkwụ ha, ǹtu na ụdọ ha niile.
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.
Mpaghara akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ka e debere maka ụlọ ikwu Mosis na Erọn, na nke ụmụ ya ndị ikom. Ọrụ ha bụ ilekọta ebe nsọ ahụ nʼaha ụmụ Izrel niile. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara ebe nsọ ahụ nso ka a ga-egbu.
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.
Ya mere, ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom Livayị niile Mosis na Erọn nwetara mgbe a gụrụ ha ọnụ nʼikwu nʼikwu dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ha si dị, bụ iri puku abụọ na puku abụọ. Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị site nʼotu ọnwa gaa nʼihu.
40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Gụọ ndị ikom Izrel niile e buru ụzọ mụọ, ndị dị site nʼotu ọnwa gbagoo. Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ha, dee aha ha niile nʼakwụkwọ.
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.
Nabata ndị Livayị ka ha bụrụ nke m nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụrụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ọzọkwa, anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m, nʼọnọdụ ụmụ mbụ nke anụ ụlọ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Izrel niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Ya mere, Mosis gụrụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu,
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.
chọpụta na ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom e buru ụzọ mụọ site nʼonye dị otu ọnwa ruo nʼokenye dị iri puku abụọ na puku abụọ na narị abụọ na iri asaa na atọ.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị:
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.
“Nye m ndị Livayị nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Nyekwa m anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile nʼọnọdụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ndị Livayị bụ nke m. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
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,
Ihe a ga-eji gbara narị ụmụ ndị ikom Izrel abụọ na iri ndị ikom asaa, na atọ ndị e buru ụzọ mụọ mapụtara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
bụ ego ruru shekel ise, na isi onye ọbụla, ụdị shekel ebe nsọ, nke ọtụtụ ya bụ iri gera abụọ.
48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Were ego mgbapụta a nye Erọn na ụmụ ndị ikom ya.”
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Ya mere, Mosis natara ego mgbapụta ahụ nʼisi onye ọbụla dị nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị ahụ mara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị.
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;
Ego niile ọ natara site nʼaka ndị ikom Izrel niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ ọlaọcha ruru puku shekel na narị shekel atọ na iri isii na ise, dịka ihe ọtụtụ shekel ebe nsọ si dị.
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
Mosis nyere Erọn na ụmụ ya ego mgbapụta ndị a dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
