Numbers 3
1 This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
haec sunt generationes Aaron et Mosi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Mosen in monte Sinai
2 The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
et haec nomina filiorum Aaron primogenitus eius Nadab dein Abiu et Eleazar et Ithamar
3 These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
haec nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt et quorum repletae et consecratae manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur
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.
mortui sunt Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai absque liberis functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo
5 The Lord told Moses,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
6 “Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
adplica tribum Levi et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei et excubent
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.
et observent quicquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii
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.
et custodiant vasa tabernaculi servientes in ministerio eius
9 The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
dabisque dono Levitas
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.”
Aaron et filiis eius quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israhel Aaron autem et filios eius constitues super cultum sacerdotii externus qui ad ministrandum accesserit morietur
11 The Lord told Moses,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
12 “I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israhel pro omni primogenito qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israhel eruntque Levitae mei
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.”
meum est enim omne primogenitum ex quo percussi primogenitos in terra Aegypti sanctificavi mihi quicquid primum nascitur in Israhel ab homine usque ad pecus mei sunt ego Dominus
14 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen in deserto Sinai dicens
15 “Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias omnem masculum ab uno mense et supra
