Numbers 3
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Erọn na Mosis nʼoge Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼugwu Saịnaị.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, Nadab, ọkpara ya, Abihu, Elieza na Itama.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, ndị e tere mmanụ ịbụ ndị nchụaja, ndị e doro nsọ nʼihi ije ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka Nadab na Abihu nwụọ, nʼihu ya nʼime ọzara Saịnaị, mgbe ha ji ọkụ na-adịghị nsọ wetara ya onyinye. Ebe ọ bụ na ha amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom nke aka ha, ọ bụ naanị Elieza na Itama jere ozi dịka ndị nchụaja ogologo ụbọchị ndụ nna ha bụ Erọn.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
“Kpọkọtaa ebo Livayị niile were ha nyefee Erọn onye nchụaja nʼaka, ka ha bụrụ ndị inyeaka ya.
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.
Ha ga-ejere ya na nzukọ Izrel niile ozi nʼụlọ nzute ahụ site na ịrụ ọrụ metụtara ebe obibi ahụ.
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.
Ha ga-elekọta ngwongwo ụlọ nzute, rụọ ọrụ metụtara ndị Izrel niile mgbe ha na-eje ozi ha nʼebe obibi ahụ.
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.
Were ndị Livayị nyefee Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼaka. Ọ bụ ha ka a ga-esi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel nyefee ha nʼaka kpamkpam.
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.
Họpụta Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha bụrụ ndị na-eje ozi dịka ndị nchụaja. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara nso ebe nsọ ahụ ka a ga-egbu.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
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;
“Anarala m ndị Livayị dịka ndị nọchitere anya ụmụ ndị ikom mbụ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m.
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.
Nʼihi na ihe niile meghere akpanwa bụ nke m. Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m gburu ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt ka m doro ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ndị Izrel nsọ nye onwe m, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ bụ nke m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼọzara Saịnaị sị ya,
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.
“Gụọ, chọpụta ihe ọnụọgụgụ ebo Livayị bụ. Gosi ikwu na ezinaụlọ onye ọbụla si nʼime ya pụta. Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile site nʼonye dị otu ọnwa.”
16 And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commanded.
Ya mere, Mosis gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka iwu ọ natara site nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Livayị: Geshọn, Kohat na Merari.

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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku asaa na narị ise.
23 The families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.
Ndị ikwu Geshọn mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, nʼazụ ụlọ nzute.
24 And the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị Geshọn bụ Eliasaf nwa 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.
Ọrụ dịrị ụmụ Geshọn bụ ilekọta ụlọ nzute ahụ, na ụlọ ikwu ya, na ihe mkpuchi ya, na akwa mgbochi ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.
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.
Ọ dịkwa ha nʼaka ilekọta akwa mgbochi niile nke ogige gbara ya gburugburu, na akwa e ji gechie ọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ. Ha nwekwara ọrụ ilekọta ebe ịchụ aja, na ụdọ niile, na ozi niile metụtara ihe ndị a.
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.
Nke Kohat bụ ikwu ndị Aram, ndị Izha, ndị Hebrọn na ndị Uziel. Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Kohat.
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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku asatọ na narị isii. Ọrụ dịrị ndị Kohat bụ ilekọta ebe nsọ.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Ndị ikwu Kohat mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ebe nsọ.
30 And the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị ikwu Kohat bụ Elizafan nwa 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.
Ọrụ e tinyere ha nʼaka bụ ilekọta igbe ọgbụgba ndụ, tebul ahụ, ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ na ebe ịchụ aja. Ihe ọzọ bụ ilekọta ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ, akwa mgbochi na ihe niile metụtara otu e si e ji ha eje ozi.
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.
Onyeisi ndị ndu nke ndị Livayị bụ Elieza nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja. Ọ bụ ya na-elekọta ndị ọrụ ha bụ ihu maka ihe niile metụtara ebe nsọ ahụ.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
Ndị Merari bụ ikwu Mahali na Mushi. Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu 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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị otu ọnwa gbagoo dị puku isii na narị abụọ.
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.
Onyendu ezinaụlọ ndị ikwu Merari bụ Zuniel nwa Abihail. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
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,
Ọrụ e tinyere nʼaka ndị ikwu Merari bụ ilekọta mbudo niile nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mkpọrọ ya niile, ụkwụ ya niile, na ngwongwo niile e kwesiri iji rụọ ọrụ metụtara ha.
37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pegs, and their cords.
Ọrụ ndị ọzọ bụ ilekọta ogidi osisi niile dị gburugburu ogige ahụ ha na ụkwụ ha, ǹtu na ụdọ ha niile.
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.
Mpaghara akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ ka e debere maka ụlọ ikwu Mosis na Erọn, na nke ụmụ ya ndị ikom. Ọrụ ha bụ ilekọta ebe nsọ ahụ nʼaha ụmụ Izrel niile. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara ebe nsọ ahụ nso ka a ga-egbu.
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.
Ya mere, ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom Livayị niile Mosis na Erọn nwetara mgbe a gụrụ ha ọnụ nʼikwu nʼikwu dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ha si dị, bụ iri puku abụọ na puku abụọ. Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile dị site nʼotu ọnwa gaa nʼihu.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Gụọ ndị ikom Izrel niile e buru ụzọ mụọ, ndị dị site nʼotu ọnwa gbagoo. Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ha, dee aha ha niile nʼakwụkwọ.
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.
Nabata ndị Livayị ka ha bụrụ nke m nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụrụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ọzọkwa, anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m, nʼọnọdụ ụmụ mbụ nke anụ ụlọ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Izrel niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Ya mere, Mosis gụrụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu,
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.
chọpụta na ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom e buru ụzọ mụọ site nʼonye dị otu ọnwa ruo nʼokenye dị iri puku abụọ na puku abụọ na narị abụọ na iri asaa na atọ.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị:
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.
“Nye m ndị Livayị nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Nyekwa m anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile nʼọnọdụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ndị Livayị bụ nke m. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
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,
Ihe a ga-eji gbara narị ụmụ ndị ikom Izrel abụọ na iri ndị ikom asaa, na atọ ndị e buru ụzọ mụọ mapụtara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị
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;
bụ ego ruru shekel ise, na isi onye ọbụla, ụdị shekel ebe nsọ, nke ọtụtụ ya bụ iri gera abụọ.
48 and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
Were ego mgbapụta a nye Erọn na ụmụ ndị ikom ya.”
49 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
Ya mere, Mosis natara ego mgbapụta ahụ nʼisi onye ọbụla dị nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị ahụ mara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị.
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.
Ego niile ọ natara site nʼaka ndị ikom Izrel niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ ọlaọcha ruru puku shekel na narị shekel atọ na iri isii na ise, dịka ihe ọtụtụ shekel ebe nsọ si dị.
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.
Mosis nyere Erọn na ụmụ ya ego mgbapụta ndị a dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
