< Numbers 3 >
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai.
Ma e nonro mar joka Harun kod Musa e kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye owuoyo gi Musa e Got Sinai.
2 And these the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Nying yawuot Harun ne gin Nadab ma wuowi makayo kod Abihu, Eliazar kod Ithamar.
3 These the names of the sons of Aaron the priests that were anointed, and whose hands were filled and consecrated, to do the functions of priesthood.
Mago ema ne nying yawuot Harun, mane gin jodolo mowir kendo mopwodhi mondo obed jodolo.
4 Now Nadab and Abiu died, without children, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the desert of Sinai: and Eleazar and Ithamar performed the priestly office 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi, and make them stand in the sight of Aaron the priest to minister to him, and let them watch,
“Kel dhood jo-Lawi kendo ichiwgi e nyim jadolo Harun mondo gikonye tich.
7 And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,
Nyaka gitine kaachiel gi oganda duto e nyim Hemb Romo ka gitiyo tije mag kama ler.
8 And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.
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 for a gift,
Chiw jo-Lawi e lwet Harun gi yawuote nikech gin e joma owal e dhood Israel mondo okonye tich.
10 To Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered by the children of Israel. But thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The stranger that approacheth to minister, 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nomedo wachone Musa niya,
12 I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every firstborn that openeth 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: since I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt: I have sanctified to myself whatsoever is firstborn in Israel both of man and beast, they are mine: I am the Lord.
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 the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa e Thim mar Sinai niya,
15 Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and upward.
“Kwan jo-Lawi kaluwore gi joutgi kod anywolagi. Kwan chwo duto chakre ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime.”
16 Moses numbered them as the Lord had commanded.
Omiyo Musa nokwanogi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nomiye chik.
17 And there were found sons of Levi by their names, Gerson and Caath and Merari.
Magi ema ne nyinge yawuot jo-Lawi: Gershon, Kohath gi Merari.
18 The sons of Gerson: Lebni and Semei.
Magi ema ne nying joka Gershon: Libni gi Shimei.
19 The sons of Caath: Amram, and Jesaar, Hebron and Oziel:
Joka Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron gi Uziel.
20 The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi.
Joka Merari ne gin: Mali gi Mushi. Magi ema ne anywola jo-Lawi, kaluwore gi dhoutgi.
21 Of Gerson were two families, the Lebnites, and the Semeites:
Koa e dhood Gershon, ne nitiere jo-Libni gi Shimei; mago ema ne joka Gershon.
22 Of which were numbered, people of the male sex from one month and upward, seven thousand five hundred.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime noromo ji alufu abiriyo mia abich.
23 These shall pitch behind the tabernacle on the west,
Dhout jo-Gershon nonego dag yo podho chiengʼ mar kama ler.
24 Under their prince Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Jatend Gershon ne en Eliasaf wuod Lael.
25 And their charge shall be in the tabernacle of the covenant:
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 The tabernacle itself and the cover thereof, the hanging that is drawn before the doors of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the curtains of the court: the hanging also that is hanged in the entry of the court of the tabernacle, and whatsoever belongeth to the rite of the altar, the cords of the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof.
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 Of the kindred of Caath come the families of the Amramites and Jesaarites and Hebronites and Ozielites. These are the families of the Caathites reckoned up by their names:
E dhood Kohath ne nitiere jo-Amram, jo-Izhar, jo-Hebron, jo-Uziel; magi ema ne anywola joka Kohath.
28 All of the male sex from one month and upward, eight thousand six hundred: they shall have the guard 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 And shall camp on the south side.
Dhood Kohath nonego dagi yo milambo mar kama ler.
30 And their prince shall be Elisaphan the son of Oziel:
Jatend dhout jo-Kohath ne en Elizafan wuod Uziel.
31 And they shall keep the ark, and the table and the candlestick, the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary, wherewith they minister, and the veil, and all the furniture of this kind.
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 the princes of the Levites, Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over them that watch for the guard 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 And of Merari are the families of the Moholites, and Musites, reckoned up by their names:
E dhood Merari ne nitiere jo-Mali kod jo-Mushi; magi ema anywola joka Merari.
34 All of the male kind from one month and upward, 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 Their prince Suriel the son of Abihaiel: they shall camp on the north side.
Jatend dhout Merari ne en Zuriel wuod Abihail. Nonego gidagi yo nyandwat mar kama ler.
36 Under their custody shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars and their sockets, and all things that pertain to this kind of 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 with their sockets, and the pins with their cords.
kaachiel gi sirni mochungʼ molworo laru man-gi mise, sigingi mag hema kod tonde.
38 Before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is to say on the east side, shall Moses and Aaron camp, with their sons, having the custody of the sanctuary, in the midst of the children of Israel. What stranger soever cometh unto it, 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 the Levites, that Moses and Aaron numbered according to the precept of the Lord, by their families, of the male kind from one month 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 the Lord said to Moses: Number the firstborn of the male sex of the children of Israel, from one month and upward, and thou shalt take the sum of them.
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 to me for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattle for all the firstborn of 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 Moses reckoned up, as the Lord had commanded, the firstborn of the children of Israel:
Omiyo Musa nokwano nyithindo makayo duto mag jo-Israel, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and upward, 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:
Jehova Nyasaye nochako owachone Musa niya,
45 Take the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
“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 But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of 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 sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
chok shekel abich ne ngʼato ka ngʼato, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo gera piero ariyo.
48 And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.
Mi Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore.”
49 Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,
Omiyo Musa nochoko pesa kuom joma ne omedore e kwan mane jo-Lawi oreso.
50 For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight 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 gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
Musa nochiwo ne Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
