Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
Alò sa yo se chif desandan a Aaron avèk Moïse nan tan lè SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse sou Mòn Sinaï a.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo: Nadab, premye ne a, Abith, Éléazar ak Ithamar.
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.
Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo, prèt onksyone ke li te konsakre pou sèvi kòm prèt yo.
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.
Men Nadab avèk Abihu te mouri devan SENYÈ a lè yo te ofri dife etranje devan SENYÈ a nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo pa t gen pitit. Konsa, Éléazar avèk Ithamar te sèvi kòm prèt pandan papa yo, Aaron, t ap viv.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
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,
“Mennen tribi Levi a vin pre ou, e fè yo chita devan Aaron, prèt la, pou yo kapab sèvi li.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Yo va ranpli devwa pou li ak pou tout kongregasyon an devan tant asanble a, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Yo va osi kenbe tout zafè ki founi tant asanble a, ansanm avèk devwa a fis Israël yo, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
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.
Konsa ou va bay Levit yo a Aaron avèk fis li yo; yo va bay nèt a li pami fis Israël yo.
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.”
Konsa, ou va chwazi Aaron avèk fis li yo pou yo kapab ranpli fonksyon prèt yo, men nenpòt lòt moun ki pwoche va vin mete a lanmò.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
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.
“Alò, veye byen, Mwen te pran Levit yo pami fis Israël yo olye de chak premye ne, premye bebe a chak vant pami fis Israël yo. Konsa, Levit yo se pa M.
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.”
Paske, tout premye ne se pa M yo ye. Nan jou ke M te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, Mwen te sanktifye pou Mwen menm tout premye ne an Israël yo soti nan lòm pou rive nan bèt yo. Yo va pou Mwen; Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a. Li te di:
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
“Konte fis a Levi yo selon lakay papa pa yo, pa fanmi yo; tout gason soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, ou va konte yo.”
16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Alò, Moïse te konte yo selon pawòl a SENYÈ a, jis jan ke li te kòmande a.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Konsa, se sa yo ki te fis a Levi yo pa non yo: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
Sa se non a fis a Guerschon yo selon fanmi pa yo: Libni ak Schimeï;
19 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Fis a Kehath yo selon fanmi pa yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron ak Uziel;
20 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
Fis a Merari yo selon fanmi pa yo: Machli ak Muschi. Sa yo se fanmi Levit yo selon lakay papa pa yo.
21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
Nan Guerschon te sòti fanmi a Libni yo ak fanmi a Schimeï yo. Sa yo se te fanmi a Gèchonit yo.
22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
Nan mesye konte yo tout gason soti nan yon mwa oswa plis te vin konte nan sèt-mil-senk-san.
23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Fanmi a Gèchonit yo te toujou gen pou fè kan dèyè tabènak la nan kote lwès la.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Chèf a lakay papa yo pami Gèchonit yo te Élaisaph, fis a Laël la.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
Alò, devwa a fis Guerschon yo nan tant asanble a se te tabènak la avèk tant lan, kouvèti li, rido pòtay tant asanble a,
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.
bagay pandye sou galeri a, ki antoure tabènak la ak lotèl la, e kòd li yo avèk tout sèvis konsènan li yo.
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,
Nan Kehath, te sòti fanmi a Amramit yo, fanmi Jitseharit yo, fanmi Ebwonit yo avèk fanmi Izyelit yo. Sila yo se te fanmi a Kehath yo.
28 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
Nan konte tout gason nan laj yon mwa oswa plis, te gen ui-mil-sis-san ki t ap fè devwa sanktyè a.
29 and they shall encamp toward the south side.
Fanmi a Kehath yo te gen pou fè kan nan kote sid a tabènak la,
30 And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
epi chèf a tout kay papa yo pou Kehath yo se te Élitsaphan, fis a Uziel la.
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.
Alò, devwa pa yo se te lach la, tab la, chandelye a, lotèl yo, tout zouti pou sèvis sanktyè a, rido a, ak tout sèvis ki fèt avèk yo.
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.
Éléazar, fis a Aaron an se te chèf an tèt a chèf Levit yo, e li te responsab pou tout sila ki te fè devwa sanktyè a.
33 And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
Nan Merari, te sòti fanmi a Machli yo ak fanmi Muschi yo. Se sa yo ki te fanmi a Merari yo.
34 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.
Mesye pa yo ki te konte pa tout gason ak laj yon mwa oswa plis yo, te si-mil-de-san.
35 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
Chèf a lakay papa Merari yo se te Tsuriel, fis a Abihaïl la. Yo te gen pou fè kan sou kote nò a tabènak la.
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,
Alò, devwa a fis Merari yo se te pou okipe ankadreman tabènak la, poto li yo, baz reseptikal li yo, tout bagay sa yo avèk sèvis ki konsène yo,
37 and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
ak pilye ki antoure galeri a, avèk baz reseptikal pa yo avèk pikèt ak kòd yo.
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.
Alò, sila ki te gen pou fè kan devan tabènak la vè lès la devan tant asanble a, vè solèy leve a, se te Moïse avèk Aaron avèk fis li yo, ki pou fè devwa sanktyè yo, pou ranpli obligasyon a fis Israël yo. Men nenpòt moun ki pa prèt va vin mete a lanmò si li vin toupre.
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.
Tout mesye ki te konte pami Levit yo, ke Moïse avèk Aaron te konte selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, pa fanmi pa yo, tout gason ki te gen yon mwa oswa plis, te venn-de-mil.
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.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Konte tout gason, premye ne pami fis Israël yo soti nan laj yon mwa oswa plis, e fè yon chif ak non yo.
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.”
Ou va pran Levit yo pou Mwen—Mwen se SENYÈ a—olye de premye ne pami fis Israël yo; ak bèt a Levit yo olye de tout premye ne nan bèt a fis Israël yo.”
42 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Konsa, Moïse te konte tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande li a.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Tout premye ne nan gason yo soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, mesye ki te konte pou yo te venn-de-mil-de-san-swasann-trèz22,273
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
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.
“Pran Levit yo olye de tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo ak bèt a Levit yo olye bèt pa yo. Konsa, Levit yo va pou Mwen: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
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,
Pou ranson a de-san-swasann-trèz nan premye ne an Israël ki plis ke Levit yo,
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
ou va pran senk sik pou chak, pa tèt. Ou va pran yo an valè sik sanktyè a (sik la se ven gera),
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
epi bay Aaron avèk fis li lajan la, ki te peye pou ranson pa Levit yo.”
49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Moïse te pran lajan ranson an ki sòti nan sila ki te anplis sila ki te ransonen pa Levit yo;
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.
nan men a premye ne a fis Israël yo, li te pran lajan an an valè sik sanktyè a, mil-twa-san-swasann-senk sik.
51 And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
Epi Moïse te bay lajan ranson an bay Aaron avèk fis li yo, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
