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.
Hii ni hesabu ya jamaa ya Aroni na Mose kwa wakati ambao Bwana alizungumza na Mose katika Mlima Sinai.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Majina ya wana wa Aroni yalikuwa: Nadabu mzaliwa wa kwanza na Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood.
Hayo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Aroni, makuhani wapakwa mafuta, waliokuwa wamesimikwa kuhudumu kama makuhani.
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.
Hata hivyo Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele za Bwana walipotoa sadaka kwa moto usioruhusiwa mbele zake katika Jangwa la Sinai. Hawakuwa na wana; kwa hiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walihudumu peke yao kama makuhani wakati wote wa maisha ya Aroni baba yao.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
6 Take the tribe of Levi, and you shall set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
“Walete watu wa kabila la Lawi mbele ya Aroni kuhani ili wamsaidie.
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.
Watafanya huduma kwa ajili yake na kwa jumuiya yote katika Hema la Kukutania kwa kufanya kazi za Maskani.
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.
Watatunza samani zote za Hema la Kukutania, wakitimiza wajibu wa kuhudumia Waisraeli kwa kufanya kazi ya Maskani.
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.
Wakabidhi Walawi kwa Aroni na wanawe; hao ndio Waisraeli ambao wanakabidhiwa kwake kabisa.
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.
Waweke Aroni na wanawe kuhudumu kama makuhani; mtu mwingine yeyote atakayesogea mahali patakatifu ni lazima auawe.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Nimewatwaa Walawi kutoka miongoni mwa Waisraeli badala ya mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa kila mwanamke wa Mwisraeli. Walawi ni wangu,
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.
kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza ni wangu. Nilipowaua wazaliwa wa kwanza huko Misri, nilimtenga kila mzaliwa wa kwanza katika Israeli awe wangu, akiwa mwanadamu au mnyama. Watakuwa wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai,
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.
“Wahesabu Walawi kwa jamaa zao na koo zao. Mhesabu kila mwanaume mwenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi.”
16 And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them.
Kwa hiyo Mose akawahesabu, kama alivyoamriwa na neno la Bwana.

Mose, na Aroni na wanawe walitakiwa kuweka kambi zao mashariki mwa Maskani, kuelekea mawio ya jua, mbele ya Hema la Kukutania. Wao walihusika na utunzaji wa mahali patakatifu kwa niaba ya Waisraeli. Mtu mwingine yeyote aliyepasogelea mahali patakatifu angeuawa.
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.
Jumla ya hesabu ya Walawi waliohesabiwa na Mose na Aroni kwa amri ya Bwana, kufuatana na koo, pamoja na kila mume mwenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi, walikuwa 22,000.
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.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Wahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wote wa Waisraeli wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi na uorodheshe majina yao.
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.
Nitwalie Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli, nayo mifugo ya Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa mifugo ya Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
42 And Moses counted, as the Lord commanded him, every firstborn amongst the children of Israel.
Hivyo Mose akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Waisraeli, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
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.
Jumla ya hesabu ya wazaliwa wa kwanza waume wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi, walioorodheshwa kwa majina, walikuwa 22,273.
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Watwae Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli, nayo mifugo ya Walawi badala ya mifugo yao. Walawi watakuwa wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
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;
Ili kukomboa wazao wa kwanza 273 wa Waisraeli ambao wamezidi hesabu ya Walawi,
47 you shall even take five shekels a head; you shall take them according to the holy didrachm, twenty oboli to the shekel.
kusanya shekeli tano kwa kila mmoja, kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini.
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and to his sons, the ransom of those who exceed in number amongst them.
Mpe Aroni na wanawe hizo fedha kwa ajili ya ukombozi wa idadi ya Waisraeli waliozidi.”
49 And Moses took the silver, the ransom of those that exceeded in number the redemption of the Levites.
Kwa hiyo Mose akakusanya fedha za ukombozi kutoka kwa wale ambao hesabu yao ilizidi wale waliokombolewa na Walawi.
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.
Kutokana na wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli alikusanya fedha yenye uzito wa shekeli 1,365 kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu.
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.
Mose akampa Aroni na wanawe ile fedha ya ukombozi, kama alivyoamriwa na neno la Bwana.
