Numbers 3
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
Ma e nonro mar joka Harun kod Musa e kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye owuoyo gi Musa e Got Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Nying yawuot Harun ne gin Nadab ma wuowi makayo kod Abihu, Eliazar kod Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
Mago ema ne nying yawuot Harun, mane gin jodolo mowir kendo mopwodhi mondo obed jodolo.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
Kata kamano Nadab kod Abihu, notho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e kinde mane gichiwo misango ma ok opwodhi e Thim mar Sinai. Ne gionge yawuowi; omiyo Eliazar gi Ithamar kende ema nobedo jodolo e ndalo mane Harun wuon-gi pod ngima.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
“Kel dhood jo-Lawi kendo ichiwgi e nyim jadolo Harun mondo gikonye tich.
7 and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Nyaka gitine kaachiel gi oganda duto e nyim Hemb Romo ka gitiyo tije mag kama ler.
8 And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Nyaka girit malongʼo gige Hemb Romo duto, ka gichopo chike duto mag jo-Israel monego gitim e Hemb Romo.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
Chiw jo-Lawi e lwet Harun gi yawuote nikech gin e joma owal e dhood Israel mondo okonye tich.
10 And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
Yier Harun kod yawuote mondo obed jodolo; ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka negi.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nomedo wachone Musa niya,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
“Asekawo jo-Lawi koa ei jo-Israel e lo wuowi makayo mar chi ja-Israel moro ka moro. Jo-Lawi gin meka,
13 for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
nimar yawuowi makayo duto gin meka. Kane anego yawuowi makayo duto e piny Misri, ne awalo ne an awuon kayo moro amora e Israel, obed mar dhano kata mar le mondo gibed maga. An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa e Thim mar Sinai niya,
15 Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
“Kwan jo-Lawi kaluwore gi joutgi kod anywolagi. Kwan chwo duto chakre ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime.”
16 And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commanded.
Omiyo Musa nokwanogi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nomiye chik.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Magi ema ne nyinge yawuot jo-Lawi: Gershon, Kohath gi Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.
Magi ema ne nying joka Gershon: Libni gi Shimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath according to their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Joka Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron gi Uziel.
20 And the sons of Merari according to their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
Joka Merari ne gin: Mali gi Mushi. Magi ema ne anywola jo-Lawi, kaluwore gi dhoutgi.
21 Of Gershon, the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
Koa e dhood Gershon, ne nitiere jo-Libni gi Shimei; mago ema ne joka Gershon.
22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, those that were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime noromo ji alufu abiriyo mia abich.
23 The families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.
Dhout jo-Gershon nonego dag yo podho chiengʼ mar kama ler.
24 And the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Jatend Gershon ne en Eliasaf wuod Lael.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting was: the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the curtain of the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Tij jo-Gershon e Kar Hemb Romo ne en rito Kama Ler mar Lemo kod hema, kaachiel gi gik moumego, kaka pasia mantiere e dhorangach mar Hemb Romo.
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the entrance to the court, which surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof for all its service.
Bende negirito pasia mag laru, pasia mar dhorangach mar laru molworo kama ler gi kendo mar misango kod tonde, kaachiel gi gik moko duto mitwechogo.
27 And of Kohath, the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
E dhood Kohath ne nitiere jo-Amram, jo-Izhar, jo-Hebron, jo-Uziel; magi ema ne anywola joka Kohath.
28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, who kept the charge of the sanctuary.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime ne romo ji alufu aboro mia auchiel. Tij jo-Kohath ne en rito kama ler mar lemo.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Dhood Kohath nonego dagi yo milambo mar kama ler.
30 And the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Jatend dhout jo-Kohath ne en Elizafan wuod Uziel.
31 And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, and the curtain, and all that belongs to its service.
Tijgi ne en rito Sandug Muma, mesa, rachungi mar taya, kende mag misengini, gige kama ler mar lemo mitiyogo tije dolo, pasia, kod gik moko duto mitiyogo tijego.
32 And the prince of princes of the Levites was Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: he had the oversight of them that kept the charge of the sanctuary.
Jatelo maduongʼ mar jo-Lawi ne en Eliazar wuod Harun jadolo. En ema ne oyiere bedo jatelo mag joma rito kama ler mar lemo.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
E dhood Merari ne nitiere jo-Mali kod jo-Mushi; magi ema anywola joka Merari.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kata moloyo dwe achiel mane okwan ne romo ji alufu auchiel mia ariyo.
35 And the prince of the father's house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They encamped on the side of the tabernacle northward.
Jatend dhout Merari ne en Zuriel wuod Abihail. Nonego gidagi yo nyandwat mar kama ler.
36 And the charge of the sons of Merari consisted in the oversight of the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its bases, and all its furniture, and all that belongs to its service,
Joka Merari noyier mondo orit sirni mag kama ler mar lemo, yiend reru, sirni mamoko, mise, kaachiel gi gige duto kod gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo,
37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pegs, and their cords.
kaachiel gi sirni mochungʼ molworo laru man-gi mise, sigingi mag hema kod tonde.
38 And those who encamped before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, who kept the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
Musa kod Harun gi yawuote nonego dagi yo wuok chiengʼ mar Hemb Romo. Tijgi ne en rito kama ler mar lemo e lo jo-Israel. Ngʼato angʼata mane osudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka ne negi.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Kar romb jo-Lawi duto mane okwan kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ogolo kokadho kuom Musa kod Harun kaluwore gi anywolagi ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo, magi ne gin kaachiel gi nyithindo duto ma yawuowi kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime.
40 And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kwan nyithindo ma yawuowi makayo duto mag Israel kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime kendo indik nyingegi piny.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites, instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Ket jo-Lawi obedna kaka kayo e lo kayo duto mag jo-Israel, kendo kaw jamb jo-Lawi obed e lo kweth makayo mag jamb jo-Israel. An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Omiyo Musa nokwano nyithindo makayo duto mag jo-Israel, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
43 And all the firstborn males, by the number of the names, from a month old and upward, according to their numbering, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
Kar romb nyithindo ma yawuowi duto makayo ma ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime, kondik nying-gi moro ka moro ne romo ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo, mia ariyo gi piero abiriyo gadek.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nochako owachone Musa niya,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Jehovah.
“Ket jo-Lawi mondo obedna kaka kayo e lo jo-Israel, kendo jamni mag jo-Lawi e lo jambgi. Jo-Lawi nyaka bed maga. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
46 And for those that are to be ransomed, the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are in excess over the Levites,
Mondo omi ires jo-Israel makayo ji mia ariyo piero adek gabiriyo ma kwan-gi ohewo kwan midwaro mar jo-Lawi,
47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, according to the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them, — twenty gerahs the shekel;
chok shekel abich ne ngʼato ka ngʼato, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo gera piero ariyo.
48 and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
Mi Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore.”
49 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
Omiyo Musa nochoko pesa kuom joma ne omedore e kwan mane jo-Lawi oreso.
50 of the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five [shekels], according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Koa kuom kayo mag jo-Israel nochoko fedha ma pekne en shekel alufu mia achiel mia adek gi piero auchiel gabich, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Musa nochiwo ne Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
