Numbers 3
1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with 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: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, 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 anointed priests, who were consecrated 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 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.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
« Yeisa libota ya Levi pene ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe pesa bango na maboko na ye mpo ete basunga ye.
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.
Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.
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.
Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.
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.
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 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.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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;
« 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. 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.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:
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.
« 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 And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commanded.
Boye, Moyize atangaki bango ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Tala bakombo ya bakitani ya Levi: Gerishoni, Keati mpe Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.
Tala bakombo ya bakitani ya Gerishoni, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Libini mpe Shimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath according to their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Bana mibali ya Keati, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Amirami, Yitseari, Ebron mpe Uzieli.
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.
Bana mibali ya Merari, kolanda etuka moko na moko: Maali mpe Mushi. Bango nde bato ya bituka ya Balevi kolanda mabota na bango.
21 Of Gershon, the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
Tala bakitani oyo babimelaki na Gerishoni: etuka ya bato ya Libini mpe etuka ya Shimei. Bango nde bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni.
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.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo batangamaki kobanda sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka ezalaki nkoto sambo na nkama mitano.
23 The families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.
Bato ya bituka ya Gerishoni batongaki molako na bango na sima ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya weste.
24 And the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Eliazafi, mwana mobali ya Laele, nde azalaki mokambi ya libota ya Gerishoni.
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.
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 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.
barido ya lopango, rido ya ekuke ya lopango oyo ezingela Mongombo mpe etumbelo, basinga mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki kosalela na basinga wana.
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.
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 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.
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 The families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Bato ya bituka ya Keati batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Mongombo, na ngambo ya sude.
30 And the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Elitsafani, mwana mobali ya Uzieli, nde azalaki mokambi ya bato ya bituka ya Keati.
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.
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 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.
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 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
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 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.
Motango ya mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, oyo batangamaki ezalaki nkoto motoba na nkama mibale.
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.
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 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,
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 pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pegs, and 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Boye, Moyize atangaki motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
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.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
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.
« 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 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,
Mpo na kosikola bana ya liboso ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi,
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;
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 thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
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 And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.
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.
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 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.
Bongo Moyize apesaki mbongo yango ya lisiko epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
