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.
Tala bakitani ya Aron mpe ya Moyize na tango oyo Yawe asololaki na Moyize, na ngomba Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron ezalaki: Nadabi, mwana ya liboso; Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.
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.
Yango nde bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron, oyo babulisaki na nzela ya kopakola mafuta mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
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.
Nadabi mpe Abiyu bakufaki liboso ya Yawe tango bazalaki kobonza mbeka, na nzela ya moto oyo ebulisama te, liboso ya Yawe, na esobe ya Sinai. Batikalaki kozala na bana te. Boye Eleazari mpe Itamari kaka nde batikalaki kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe na bokambami ya tata na bango, Aron.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
« Yeisa libota ya Levi pene ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe pesa bango na maboko na ye mpo ete basunga ye.
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;
Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.
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.
Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
Pesa Balevi na maboko ya Aron mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali; bango nde kati na bana ya Isalaele basengeli komipesa mobimba epai na ye.
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.
Tia Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali pembeni mpo ete basala mosala na bango ya Bonganga-Nzambe. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule, basengeli koboma ye. »
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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;
« Nakamati Ngai moko Balevi kati na bana ya Isalaele na esika ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso, mbuma ya liboso ya libumu ya mwasi nyonso ya Isalaele.
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.
Pamba te, bana nyonso ya liboso bazali ya Ngai. Tango nabomaki bana nyonso ya liboso ya Ejipito, natiaki pembeni bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele mpo ete bazala ya Ngai, ezala bana ya bato to ya banyama. Nazali Yawe. »
14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:
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.
« Tanga motango ya Balevi kolanda mabota na bango mpe bituka na bango. Tanga bana mibali nyonso kobanda na ye oyo azali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka. »
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
Boye, Moyize atangaki bango ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Tala bakombo ya bakitani ya Levi: Gerishoni, Keati mpe Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.

Bana mibali ya Keati, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Amirami, Yitseari, Ebron mpe Uzieli.
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.
Bana mibali ya Merari, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Maali mpe Mushi. Bango nde bato ya bituka ya Balevi kolanda mabota na bango.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Tala bakitani oyo babimelaki na Gerishoni: etuka ya bato ya Libini mpe etuka ya Shimei. Bango nde bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo batangamaki kobanda sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka ezalaki nkoto sambo na nkama mitano.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni batongaki molako na bango na sima ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya weste.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Eliazafi, mwana mobali ya Laele, nde azalaki mokambi ya libota ya Gerishoni.
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,
Na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bakitani ya Gerishoni bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo mpe ndako ya kapo, bizipelo na yango, rido ya ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
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.
barido ya lopango, rido ya ekuke ya lopango oyo ezingela Mongombo mpe etumbelo, basinga mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki kosalela na basinga wana.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Tala bakitani oyo babimelaki na Keati: bituka ya bato ya Amirami, ya Yitseari, ya Ebron mpe ya Uzieli. Bango nde bazalaki bato ya bituka ya Keati.
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.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki kobanda na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka ezalaki nkoto mwambe na nkama motoba. Bato ya Keati bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule.
29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
Bato ya bituka ya Keati batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya sude.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Elitsafani, mwana mobali ya Uzieli, nde azalaki mokambi ya bato ya bituka ya Keati.
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.
Bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Sanduku, mesa, etelemiselo ya minda, bitumbelo mpe bisalelo ya Esika ya bule oyo basalelaka mosala, rido mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki kosalela.
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.
Mokambi ya bakambi ya Balevi ezalaki Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron. Aponamaki mpo ete akamba bato oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Tala bakitani oyo babimelaki na Merari: bato ya etuka ya Maali mpe bato ya etuka ya Mushi. Bango nde bazalaki bato ya bituka ya Merari.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, oyo batangamaki ezalaki nkoto motoba na nkama mibale.
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.
Tsurieli, mwana mobali ya Abiyaili, nde azalaki mokambi ya bato ya bituka ya Merari. Batongaki molako na bango na ngambo ya nor ya Mongombo.
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,
Bato ya Merari bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela biloko nyonso ya Mongombo, oyo basala na mabaya: balate na yango, makonzi na yango, makolo na yango mpe biloko nyonso ya mike oyo bazalaki kokangisela yango.
37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
Bazalaki mpe lisusu na mokumba ya kobatela makonzi oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya lopango, bapike ya Ndako ya kapo mpe basinga na yango.
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.
Moyize, Aron mpe bana mibali ya Aron batongaki molako na bango na ngambo ya este ya Mongombo, epai wapi moyi ebimaka, etalana na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule mpo na bolamu ya bana ya Isalaele. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule, basengeli koboma ye.
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.
Motango nyonso ya Balevi oyo Moyize mpe Aron batangaki kolanda mitindo ya Yawe, mpe bato ya bituka na bango, mibali nyonso kobanda na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, ezalaki bato nkoto tuku mibale na mibale.
40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tanga motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, oyo bazali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, mpe koma bakombo na bango.
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.
Okotia Balevi pembeni mpo na Ngai, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele nyonso ya Balevi, na esika ya bana ya liboso ya bibwele nyonso ya Isalaele. Nazali Yawe. »
42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Boye, Moyize atangaki motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
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.
Motango nyonso ya bana mibali ya liboso, oyo bakomaki bango bakombo, wuta na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, ezalaki nkoto tuku mibale na mibale na nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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.
« Tia Balevi pembeni, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele ya Balevi, na esika ya bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele. Balevi bazali ya Ngai. Nazali Yawe.
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,
Mpo na kosikola bana ya liboso ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi,
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
okokongola mbongo ya bibende, nkama mitano, kolanda ndenge batangaka mbongo kati na Esika ya bule, mpo na moto moko na moko. Mbongo moko ya ebende esengeli kozala na bagrame zomi na mibale.
48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Okopesa mbongo oyo osikoleli bana mibali nyonso, oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi, epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali. »
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.
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;
Azwaki na maboko ya bana liboso ya Isalaele mbongo ya bibende nkoto moko na nkama misato na tuku motoba na mitano kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Esika ya bule.
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
Bongo Moyize apesaki mbongo yango ya lisiko epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
