Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa njiaro cia Harũni na Musa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova aaririe na Musa Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Harũni maarĩ Nadabu ũrĩa warĩ irigithathi, na Abihu, na Eleazaru, na Ithamaru.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
Macio nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Harũni, nao maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai aitĩrĩrie maguta, arĩa maamũrĩtwo matungatage marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
4 For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.
Na rĩrĩ, Nadabu na Abihu nĩmakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova rĩrĩa maarutaga igongona na mwaki ũtarĩ mwĩtĩkĩrie mbere yake Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai. Matiarĩ na ciana cia aanake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Eleazaru na Ithamaru nĩo maatungataga marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ithe wao Harũni aarĩ muoyo.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
6 “Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
“Rehe andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ũmaneane kũrĩ Harũni mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩguo mamũteithagie.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Marĩĩrutaga wĩra wa kũmũtungatĩra, na matungatagĩre kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe hau Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra wa hema ĩyo.
8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Nao marĩmenyagĩrĩra indo ciothe cia Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, mahingagie maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra wa hema ĩyo.
9 And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.
Neana Alawii acio kũrĩ Harũni na ariũ ake; nĩo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mekũneanwo kũrĩ we biũ.
10 But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”
Amũra Harũni na ariũ ake matungatage marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai; mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkuhagĩrĩria harĩa haamũre no nginya ooragwo.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
12 “I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
“Niĩ nĩ niĩ thuurĩte Alawii kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ithenya rĩa marigithathi ma arũme arĩa marigithathĩtwo nĩ andũ-a-nja othe a Isiraeli. Alawii nĩ akwa,
13 For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”
nĩgũkorwo marigithathi mothe nĩ makwa. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndooragire marigithathi mothe ma Misiri, noguo ndeyamũrĩire marigithathi mothe ma Isiraeli, marĩ ma mũndũ kana ma nyamũ. Macio nĩ makwa kĩũmbe. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai atĩrĩ,
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
“Tara Alawii kũringana na nyũmba ciao na mbarĩ ciao. Tara arũme othe arĩa makinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria.”
16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Musa akĩmatara o ta ũrĩa aathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Lawi: Nĩ Gerishoni, na Kohathu, na Merari.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.

21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.

22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.

23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Mbarĩ icio cia Agerishoni ciarĩ ciambe hema ciao mwena wa ithũĩro, thuutha wa Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Mũtongoria wa nyũmba cia Agerishoni aarĩ Eliasafu mũrũ wa Laeli.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
Hau Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, Agerishoni nĩo maarĩ na wĩra wa kũmenyerera Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre na hema, na ciandarũa cia kũmĩhumbĩra, na gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
26 the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.

27 The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,
Kohathu aarĩ na mbarĩ cia Aamuramu, na Aiziharu, na Ahebironi, na Auzieli; icio nĩcio ciarĩ mbarĩ cia Akohathu.
28 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
Arũme arĩa othe maakinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria maarĩ andũ 8,600. Wĩra wa Akohathu warĩ wa kũmenyerera harĩa haamũre.
29 and they shall encamp toward the south side.

31 And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.
Wĩra wao warĩ wa kũmenyerera ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro, na metha, na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa, na igongona, na indo cia gũtũmĩrwo harĩa haamũre, na gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa kũhakania, o na indo ciothe ciakonainie na mũhũthĩrĩre wacio.
32 But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.

34 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.

35 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.

36 Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,

o na mamenyagĩrĩre itugĩ iria ciirigĩte nja yayo hamwe na itina ciacio, na higĩ cia hema na mĩhĩĩndo yayo.
38 Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.
Musa na Harũni na ariũ ake maarĩ mambage hema ciao mwena wa irathĩro wa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre, mangʼetheire irathĩro, o hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Wĩra wao warĩ wa kũmenyerera harĩa haamũre ithenya rĩa andũ a Isiraeli. Mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩakuhĩrĩirie hau haamũre aarĩ ooragwo.
39 All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand.
Alawii arĩa othe maatarirwo ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni kũringana na mbarĩ ciao, hamwe na arũme othe arĩa maakinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, maarĩ andũ 22,000.
40 And the Lord said to Moses: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tara marigithathi ma arũme othe ma andũ a Isiraeli arĩa makinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, na wandĩke marĩĩtwa mao.
41 And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”
Nyamũrĩra Alawii handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli; o naguo ũhiũ wa Alawii ũwaamũre handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma mahiũ ma andũ a Isiraeli. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
42 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtara marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Marigithathi mothe ma arũme arĩa maakinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, maandĩkwo na marĩĩtwa mao, maarĩ andũ 22,273.
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
45 “Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
“Amũra Alawii handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli, naguo ũhiũ wa Alawii ũwaamũre handũ ha mahiũ mao. Alawii megũtuĩka akwa. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
46 But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
Gũkũũra marigithathi macio 273 ma andũ a Isiraeli, acio makĩrĩte mũigana wa Alawii-rĩ,
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
oya cekeri ithano irũgamĩrĩre o mũndũ, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, ĩrĩa ũritũ wayo ũrĩ gera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
Mbeeca icio cia gũkũũra andũ a Isiraeli acio makĩrĩte-rĩ, cinengere Harũni na ariũ ake.”
49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩũngania mbeeca cia gũkũũra andũ acio maakĩrĩte mũigana wa andũ arĩa maakũũrĩtwo nĩ Alawii.
50 in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
Kuuma kũrĩ marigithathi ma andũ a Isiraeli, akĩũngania betha ya ũritũ wa cekeri 1,365 kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
51 And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
Musa akĩnengera Harũni na ariũ ake mbeeca icio ciakũũrĩte andũ, o ta ũrĩa aathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova.
