Numbers 3
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
Esiawoe nye Aron kple Mose viwo, le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Sinai to la dzi la.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Viŋutsu enee nɔ Aron si. Woawoe nye Nadab, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
Wosi ami na wo katã, eye woɖo wo nunɔlawoe. Woɖe wo ɖe aga be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo le Agbadɔ la me.
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.
Ke Nadab kple Abihu ku le Yehowa ŋkume le Sinai gbedzi esi wowɔ dzo makɔmakɔ ŋu dɔ le vɔsasa na Yehowa me. Esi vi aɖeke menɔ wo si o ta la, Eleazar kple Itamar koe susɔ akpe ɖe wo fofo, Aron ŋuti.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Eya ta Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
“Yɔ Levi ƒe viwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye nàtsɔ wo ana nunɔla Aron abe eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo ene.
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.
Woawɔ nu siwo Aron aɖo na wo. Woawɔ dɔ kɔkɔewo le Agbadɔ la me ɖe Israelviwo katã nu,
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.
Woakpɔ Agbadɔ la me nuwo kple Agbadɔ blibo la dzi
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.
elabena wotsɔ wo katã na Aron abe Israelviwo katã ƒe teƒenɔlawo ene.
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.
Ke Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo koe awɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔdeasiwo. Ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe si atɔ asi akɔ be yeawɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ la, woawui.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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;
“Metsɔ Levi ƒe viwo le Israelviwo dome ɖe Israel nyɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒe viŋutsu gbãtɔ teƒe. Levi ƒe viwo nye tɔnyewo.
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.
Metsɔ wo ɖɔli viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo. Tso gbe si gbe mewu Egiptetɔwo ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔwo la, mexɔ Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo, amegbetɔwo tɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa na ɖokuinye! Tɔnyewoe wonye; nyee nye Yehowa!”
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai gbegbe la be,
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.
“Xlẽ Levi ƒe viwo le woƒe ƒomewo kple towo nu. Xlẽ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema.”
16 And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commanded.
Ale Mose xlẽ wo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya ɖo nɛ ene.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Gerson, Kohat kple Merari
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.

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.
Eye Merari ƒe viwoe nye esiawo le woƒe ƒomewo nu: Mahli kple Musi. Esiawo nye Levi ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome le woƒe aƒewo nu.
21 Of Gershon, the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

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.
Wotia ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la xlẽ le wo dome, eye woƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe adre, alafa atɔ̃.
23 The families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.
Eye Gerson ƒe ƒome la ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe nɔƒe la megbe le ɣedzeƒe gome.
24 And the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Gerson ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Eliasaf, Lael ƒe viŋutsu.
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.
Gerson ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ eve siawo ƒe dɔdeasiwoe nye, woakpɔ nɔƒe kple agbadɔ la, la gbɔ, egbãnuwo, mɔnuwo kple eŋu vɔ,
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.

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.
Kohat ƒe ƒomeawoe nye: Amram ƒe viwo, Izhar ƒe viwo, Hebron ƒe viwo kple Uziel ƒe viwo.
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.
Ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la ƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe enyi, alafa ade. Woawo nakpɔ kɔkɔeƒe la me nuwo dzi.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Kohat ƒe ƒome la naƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe nɔƒe la ƒe axadzi le dzigbeme lɔƒo.
30 And the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Kohat ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Elizafan, Uziel ƒe viŋutsu.
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.
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ ene siawo ƒe dɔdeasiwoe nye, woakpɔ nubablaɖaka la, kplɔ̃ la, akaɖiti, vɔsamlekpui la ƒe nu vovovo siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le agbadɔ la me, xɔmetsovɔ kple nu siwo katã hiã be woadzra ɖo le nu siawo ŋu la dzi.
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.
Eleazar, nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu anye kplɔlawo katã ƒe tatɔ, eye kɔkɔeƒe la dzi kpɔkpɔ nye eƒe dɔ tɔxɛ.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of 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.
Wo dome ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la ƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe ade alafa eve.
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.
Merari ƒe ƒome la ƒe kplɔlae nye Zuriel, Abihail ƒe viŋutsu; woawo naƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe axadzi le anyiehe lɔƒo.
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,
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ eve siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye woakpɔ ati siwo wotsɔ tu Agbadɔ la, sɔtiwo kple woƒe zɔwo kple nu sia nu si wohiã na wo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ la dzi,

eye woagakpɔ sɔti siwo ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu la, woƒe zɔwo kple tsyotiwo kple kawo dzi.
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.
Wotia teƒe si le agbadɔ la ƒe ɣedzeƒe la da ɖi na Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe agbadɔwo. Ame siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakpɔ be agbadɔ la dzi kpɔlawo wɔ woƒe dɔdeasiwo pɛpɛpɛ ɖe Israelviwo nu. Ame sia ame si menye nunɔla alo Levi ƒe vi o, gake wòge ɖe agbadɔ la me la, aku.
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.
Ale Levi ƒe viwo katã, siwo Mose kple Aron xlẽ abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ ene, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
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.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Azɔ la, xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la, eye nàŋlɔ wo katã ŋkɔ.
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.
Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe. Nyee nye Yehowa.”
42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Ale Mose xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene,
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.
eye wòkpɔ be viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be,
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.
“Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ɖɔli Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo aɖɔli Israelviwo tɔe. Levi ƒe viwo anye tɔnyewo; nyee nye Yehowa.
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,
Be nàƒle Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbevi alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, siwo sɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ta la,
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;

48 and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
Tsɔ ga si wona hena Israelvi mamlɛawo ɖeɖe la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.”
49 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
Ale Mose xɔ taƒlega ɖe Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ alafa eve, blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, ame siwo wotsɔ wosɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ƒe xexlẽme la ta.
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.
Ga si woxɔ le Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo si la ƒe kpekpeme le klosalo kilogram wuiatɔ̃ kple afã le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu
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.
Mose tsɔ taƒlega la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya de see nɛ ene.
