Numbers 3
1 This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Pa inge fwilin tulik natul Aaron ac Moses ke pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sel Moses Fineol Sinai.
2 The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Oasr wen akosr natul Aaron: Nadab pa matu emeet, na Abihu, Eleazar, ac Ithamar.
3 These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
Elos akmusrala ac akmutalyeyukla nu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
4 Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord's presence when they offered forbidden fire before the Lord in the Sinai desert. Since they didn't have any sons, Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests while their father Aaron was alive.
Tusruktu Nadab ac Abihu eltal misa ke sripen eltal tuh orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD yen mwesis Sinai, ke sie e ma tia mutal. Wangin tulik natultal, ke sripa se inge Eleazar ac Ithamar eltal oru orekma lun mwet tol ke lusen pacl Aaron el moul.
5 The Lord told Moses,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
6 “Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
“Kuhlma sruf lal Levi nu meet uh, ac srisrngelosi tuh elos in mwet kulansap lal Aaron mwet tol.
7 They are to carry out duties on his behalf and for all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, looking after the service of the Tabernacle.
Elos ac fah oru orekma ma eneneyuk nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac kulansupu mwet tol oayapa mwet Israel nukewa.
8 They are responsible for caring for all the furniture of the Tent of Meeting, serving the Israelites through what they do in the Tabernacle.
Elos ac fah karingin kufwen mwe orekma nukewa ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac oru orekma ke inen mwet Israel nukewa.
9 The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
Pwayena ma kunen mwet Levi pa in kulansupal Aaron ac wen natul.
10 You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to have the responsibility of the priesthood. Anyone else who tries to act as a priest must be executed.”
Kom fah srisrngilya Aaron ac wen natul in oru orekma lun mwet tol; kutena mwet saya su srike in orekma kac ac fah anwuki.”
11 The Lord told Moses,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
12 “I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
“Inge nga eis mwet Levi liki inmasrlon mwet Israel tuh elos in eis acn sin wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel. Ouinge mwet Levi nukewa elos ma nutik,
13 because all the firstborn are mine. When I killed every firstborn in Egypt I set apart as holy to me all the firstborn of Israel, human and animal. They are mine. I am the Lord.”
tuh wounse nukewa ma nutik. Ke nga tuh uniya wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Egypt, na nga akmutalye wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel tuh in ma nutik — kewana mwet ac kosro; elos fah ma nutik. Nga, LEUM GOD.”
14 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,

15 “Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
elan oakla mwet Levi fal nu ke kais sie sifen sou lulap lalos, ac elan simusla inen mukul nukewa ma malem seyak matwa.
