Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
Tala bakitani ya Aron mpe ya Moyize na tango oyo Yawe asololaki na Moyize, na ngomba Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and 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 who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
Yango nde bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron, oyo babulisaki na nzela ya kopakola mafuta mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
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.
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
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,
« Yeisa libota ya Levi pene ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe pesa bango na maboko na ye mpo ete basunga ye.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.
8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.
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.
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 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.”
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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.
« 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 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.”
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 spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
« 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 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Boye, Moyize atangaki bango ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Tala bakombo ya bakitani ya Levi: Gerishoni, Keati mpe Merari.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
Tala bakombo ya bakitani ya Gerishoni, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Libini mpe Shimei.
19 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Bana mibali ya Keati, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Amirami, Yitseari, Ebron mpe Uzieli.
20 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
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 were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
Tala bakitani oyo babimelaki na Gerishoni: etuka ya bato ya Libini mpe etuka ya Shimei. Bango nde bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni.
22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo batangamaki kobanda sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka ezalaki nkoto sambo na nkama mitano.
23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni batongaki molako na bango na sima ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya weste.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Eliazafi, mwana mobali ya Laele, nde azalaki mokambi ya libota ya Gerishoni.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
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 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.
barido ya lopango, rido ya ekuke ya lopango oyo ezingela Mongombo mpe etumbelo, basinga mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki kosalela na basinga wana.
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,
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 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
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 and they shall encamp toward the south side.
Bato ya bituka ya Keati batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya sude.
30 And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
Elitsafani, mwana mobali ya Uzieli, nde azalaki mokambi ya bato ya bituka ya Keati.
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.
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 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.
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 And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
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 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: 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 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
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 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,
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 columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
Bazalaki mpe lisusu na mokumba ya kobatela makonzi oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya lopango, bapike ya Ndako ya kapo mpe basinga na yango.
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.
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, 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.
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: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
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 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.”
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 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Boye, Moyize atangaki motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred 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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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.
« 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 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,
Mpo na kosikola bana ya liboso ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi,
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
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 you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
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 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.
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.
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 it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
Bongo Moyize apesaki mbongo yango ya lisiko epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
