Numbers 3
1 And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina.
Luno lwe lulyo lwa Alooni n’olwa Musa mu biseera Mukama mwe yayogerera ne Musa ku Lusozi Sinaayi.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Alooni: Nadabu, omubereberye, ne Abiku, ne Eriyazaali, ne Isamaali.
3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood.
Ago ge mannya ga batabani ba Alooni, abaafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni okuba bakabona, era abaayawulibwa okuweereza mu mulimu gw’obwakabona.
4 And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests' office with Aaron their father.
Naye nno Nadabu ne Abiku baatondokera mu maaso ga Mukama ne bafa, kubanga baayokya ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda n’omuliro ogutakkirizibwa nga bali mu ddungu ly’e Sinaayi. Tebaalina baana; bwe batyo, Eriyazaali ne Isamaali ne basigala nga be bokka abaaweerezanga nga bakabona ebbanga lyonna kitaabwe Alooni lye yamala nga mulamu.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
6 Take the tribe of Levi, and you shall set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
“Leeta ab’omu kika kya Leevi obakwase Alooni kabona bamuweerezenga.
7 and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle.
Banaamukoleranga emirimu era ne baweereza n’ekibiina kyonna awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakola emirimu awali Eweema ya Mukama.
8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle.
Banaalabiriranga ebintu byonna eby’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bakola emirimu gy’omu Weema ya Mukama nga batuukiriza ebyo byonna ebivunaanyizibwa abaana ba Isirayiri.
9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel.
Abaleevi onoobawanga eri Alooni ne batabani be; baweereddwa ddala Alooni nga baggyibwa mu baana ba Isirayiri.
10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.
Onoolonda Alooni ne batabani be okubeera bakabona; naye bwe wanaabangawo omuntu omulala yenna n’asembera awatukuvu, anaafanga.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’ayongera okugamba Musa nti,
12 Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from amongst the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine.
“Laba, neetwalidde Abaleevi nga mbaggya mu baana ba Isirayiri mu kifo ky’abaana ababereberye abazaalibwa abakazi mu baana ba Isirayiri. Abaleevi banaabanga bange,
13 For every firstborn [is] mine; in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every firstborn in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I [am] the Lord.
kubanga byonna ebizaalibwa ebibereberye byange. Bwe natta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri neeyawulira ebibereberye byonna mu Isirayiri okubeeranga ebyange, abantu n’ebisolo. Nze Mukama Katonda.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa mu ddungu ly’e Sinaayi nti,
15 Take the number of the sons of Levi, according to the houses of their families, according to their divisions; number you them every male from a month old and upwards.
“Bala Abaleevi bonna mu mpya zaabwe ne mu bika byabwe. Bala buli mwana mulenzi ow’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo.”
16 And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them.
Bw’atyo Musa n’ababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Leevi: Gerusoni, ne Kokasi, ne Merali.
18 And these [are] the names of the sons of Gedson according to their families; Lobeni and Semei:
Gano ge mannya g’abatabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali: Libuni ne Simeeyi.
19 and the sons of Caath according to their families; Amram and Issaar, Chebron and Oziel:
Bano be batabani ba Kokasi ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali: Amulaamu, ne Izukali ne Kebbulooni, ne Wuziyeeri.
20 and the sons of Merari according to their families, Mooli and Musi; these are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their families.
Bano be batabani ba Merali ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali: Makuli ne Musi. Ebyo bye bika by’Abaleevi ng’empya za bakitaabwe bwe zaali.
21 To Gedson belongs the family of Lobeni, and the family of Semei: these are the families of Gedson.
Mu Gerusoni mwe mwava oluggya lwa Abalibuni n’oluggya lwa Abasimeeyi; ezo nga z’empya za Abagerusoni.
22 The numbering of them according to the number of every male from a month old and upwards, their numbering [was] seven thousand and five hundred.
Abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu ogw’obukulu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa baali kasanvu mu ebikumi bitaano.
23 And the sons of Gedson shall encamp westward behind the tabernacle.
Ab’omu Gerusoni nga baakusiisiranga ku ludda olw’ebugwanjuba emmanju wa Weema ya Mukama.
24 And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson [was] Elisaph the son of Dael.
Omukulembeze w’empya za Abagerusoni yali Eriyasaafu mutabani wa Laeri.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness [was] the tent and the veil, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of witness,
Abagerusoni be banaabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okulabirira Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga balabirira ebigibikkako n’eggigi ery’omu mulyango oguyingira mu Weema,
26 and the curtains of the court, and the veil of the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and the remainder of all its works.
n’entimbe ez’omu luggya, n’entimbe ez’omu mizigo egiggulira ku luggya okwebungulula Weema n’ekyoto. Era banaalabiriranga n’emiguwa awamu n’ebintu byonna ebinaakozesebwanga ku mirimu egyo.
27 To Caath [belonged] one division, that of Amram, and another division, that of Issaar, and another division, that of Chebron, and another division, that of Oziel: these are the divisions of Caath, according to number.
Mu Kokasi mwe mwava oluggya lwa Abamulaamu, n’oluggya lwa Abayizukaali, n’oluggya lwa Abakebbulooni, n’oluggya lwa Abawuziyeeri; ezo z’empya za Abakokasi.
28 Every male from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charges of the holy things.
Abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu ogw’obukulu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa baali kanaana mu lukaaga. Abakokasi be baweebwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga awatukuvu.
29 The families of the sons of Caath, shall encamp beside the tabernacle towards the south.
Ab’omu Kokasi nga baakusiisiranga ku ludda olw’obukiikaddyo obwa Weema ya Mukama.
30 And the chief of the house of the families of the divisions of Caath, [was] Elisaphan the son of Oziel.
Omukulembeze w’empya za Abakokasi yali Erizafani mutabani wa Wuziyeeri.
31 And their charge [was] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and all the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they do holy service, and the veil, and all their works.
Abakokasi be baabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa okulabirira Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’emmeeza, n’ekikondo ky’ettaala, n’ebyoto, n’ebintu eby’omu watukuvu ebikozesebwa mu kuweereza, n’eggigi; n’emirimu gyonna egyekuusa ku buweereza obwo.
32 And the chief over the chief of the Levites, [was] Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things.
Eriyazaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona ye yalondebwa okuba omukulu w’abakulembeze ba Abaleevi, era n’okulabirira abo abaaweerezanga mu watukuvu.
33 To Merari [belonged] the family of Mooli, and the family of Musi: these are the families of Merari.
Mu Merali mwe mwava oluggya lwa Abamakuli n’oluggya lwa Abamusi; ezo nga ze mpya za Abamerali.
34 The mustering of them according to number, every male from a month old and upwards, [was] six thousand and fifty.
Abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa baali kakaaga mu ebikumi bibiri.
35 And the head of the house of the families of the division of Merari, was Suriel the son of Abichail: they shall encamp by the side of the tabernacle northwards.
Omukulembeze w’empya za Abamerali yali Zuliyeeri mutabani wa Abikayiri; Abamerali nga baakusiisiranga ku bukiikaddyo obwa Weema ya Mukama.
36 The oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari [included] the chapiters of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all their furniture, and their works,
Be baavunaanyizibwanga emikiikiro, n’empagi, n’ebikondo, n’ebikwata ku Weema ya Mukama byonna n’ebyekuusa ku mirimu gyayo.
37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pins, and their cords.
Okwo baagattangako empagi zonna ezeebunguludde oluggya n’entobo zaazo, n’enkondo za Weema n’emiguwa.
38 They that encamp before the tabernacle of witness on the east [shall be] Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charges of the sanctuary according to the charges of the children of Israel; and the stranger that touches them, shall die.
Musa ne Alooni ne batabani baabwe baasiisiranga ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Weema ya Mukama, okwolekera enjuba gy’eva mu maaso ga Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Baavunaanyizibwanga okulabirira awatukuvu ku lw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Omuntu omulala yenna eyasembereranga awatukuvu, ng’ateekwa kufa.
39 All the numbering of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the word of the Lord, according to their families, every male from a month old and upwards, [were] two and twenty thousand.
Omuwendo gwonna ogw’Abaleevi abaabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali, nga mwe muli abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni, baali emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri.
40 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Count every firstborn male of the children of Israel from a month old and upwards, and take the number by name.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Bala abaana ba Isirayiri bonna aboobulenzi ababereberye okuva ku mwana ow’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo okole olukalala lw’amannya gaabwe gonna.
41 And you shall take the Levites for me—I [am] the Lord—instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the cattle of the children of Israel.
Era ojja kunfunira Abaleevi mu kifo ky’ababereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri, era onfunire n’ente ez’Abaleevi mu kifo ky’ente ez’abaana ba Isirayiri embereberye. Nze Mukama Katonda.”
42 And Moses counted, as the Lord commanded him, every firstborn amongst the children of Israel.
Awo Musa n’abala abaana ba Isirayiri ababereberye nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira.
43 And all the male firstborn in number by name, from a month old and upwards, were according to their numbering twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three.
Okugatta awamu abaana aboobulenzi ababereberye bonna okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa, nga n’amannya gaabwe gawandiikiddwa ku lukalala, baali emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri mu ebikumi bibiri mu nsanvu mu basatu.
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine; I [am] the Lord.
“Nfunira Abaleevi badde mu kifo ky’abaana ba Isirayiri ababereberye, n’ente z’Abaleevi zidde mu kifo ky’ente z’abaana ba Isirayiri, era Abaleevi banaabanga bange. Nze Mukama Katonda.
46 And for the ransoms of the two hundred and seventy-three which exceed the Levites in number of the firstborn of the sons of Israel;
Okununula ababereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri ebikumi ebibiri mu ensanvu mu abasatu abasukkirira ku muwendo gw’Abaleevi abasajja,
47 you shall even take five shekels a head; you shall take them according to the holy didrachm, twenty oboli to the shekel.
onoddiranga gulaamu amakumi ataano mu ttaano ku buli omu, ng’ogeraageranyiza ku gulaamu kkumi n’emu ey’awatukuvu nga bw’eri, ye sekeri ey’obuzito ze gulaamu kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu.
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and to his sons, the ransom of those who exceed in number amongst them.
Ensimbi ez’okununula abaana ba Isirayiri abasukkiriramu oziwanga Alooni ne batabani be.”
49 And Moses took the silver, the ransom of those that exceeded in number the redemption of the Levites.
Bw’atyo Musa n’asolooza ensimbi ez’okwenunula ku abo abaasukkirira ku muwendo gw’abo abaanunulibwa Abaleevi.
50 He took the silver from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, a thousand and three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the holy shekel.
Yasolooza ku babereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri effeeza ey’obuzito obwa kilo kkumi na ttaano n’ekitundu, ng’engeraageranya ya sekeri y’awatukuvu bw’eri.
51 And Moses gave the ransom of them that were over to Aaron and his sons, by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Musa n’addira ensimbi ez’okwenunula n’aziwa Alooni ne batabani be, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
