Numbers 1
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting while they were in the Sinai desert. This was on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had left Egypt. He told him,
Ke len se oemeet ke malem se akluo in yac se akluo tukun mwet Israel illa liki acn Egypt, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel yen mwesis Sinai. El fahk,
2 “Census all the Israelites according to their tribe and family. Count every man and keep a record of each individual's name.
“Kom ac Aaron in oru sie oaoa lulap ke sruf ac sou nukewa lun mwet Israel. Simusla inen mukul nukewa
3 Those aged twenty or older who can do military service are to be registered by you and Aaron in their Israelite army divisions.
yac longoulyak matwa, su ku in wi mweun.
4 A representative from each tribe, the head of a family, must be there with you.
Sie mwet kol ke kais sie sruf in kasrekomtal.”

Tusruktu, mwet Levi elos tuh tia wi simla inelos in oana sruf saya uh,
48 This was because the Lord had told Moses,
mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
49 “Don't register the tribe of Levi; don't count them in the census with the other Israelites.
“Ke pacl se kom oru oaoa lulap ke inen mukul ma fal in wi mweun, nimet sang sruf lal Levi nu kac.
50 Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle and of the Testimony, as well as all its furniture and everything it contains. They are the ones responsible for carrying the Tabernacle and all its items. They are to care for it, and to make their camp around it.
A kom fah sang sruf Levi in fosrngakin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik ac kufwa nukewa nu kac. Elos fah us ma inge nukewa, ac elos pa ac kulansap loac. Elos in tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos rauneak.
51 When it's time to move the Tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and when it's time to make camp, the Levites shall put it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
Kutena pacl kowos ac mukuila nu ke sie pacna acn, ma kunen mwet Levi in tuleya Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac sifilpa tulokunak ke nien aktuktuk sasu. Kutena mwet saya su tuku apkuran nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac fah anwuki.
52 The Israelites are to make camp according to their tribal divisions, each person in their own camp under their own flag.
Sruf nukewa sayen sruf lal Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos fal nu ke kais sie u lalos, ac in oasr kais sie flag lun kais sie u.
53 But the Levites are to set up their camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony to stop anyone making me angry with the Israelites. The Levites are responsible for looking after the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
A mwet Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik tuh elos in karingin in wangin sie fah tuku apkuran nu kac ac pwanak kasrkusrak luk uh in putati fin mwet Israel nukewa.”
54 The Israelites did everything that the Lord ordered Moses that they should do.
Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos oru ma nukewa oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
