Numbers 3
1 This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Yeroo Waaqayyo Tulluu Siinaa irratti Museetti dubbatetti seenaan sanyii Aroonii fi Musee kanaa dha.
2 The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Maqaan ilmaan Aroon: Naadaab hangafticha, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar.
3 These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
Kunneen maqaawwan ilmaan Aroon jechuunis luboota muudaman kanneen akka luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif dibaman sanaa ti.
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.
Naadaabii fi Abiihuu garuu yeroo Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti ibidda hin eeyyamamin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessanitti fuuluma isaa duratti duʼan. Isaan ilmaan tokko illee hin qaban ture. Kanaafuu Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar bara abbaan isaanii Aroon lubbuun jiraatetti luboota taʼanii tajaajilan.
5 The Lord told Moses,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
6 “Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
“Gosa Lewwii fidiitii akka isaan Aroon lubicha gargaaraniif isa dura dhaabi.
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.
Isaanis hojii dunkaana qulqulluu hojjechuudhaan waan isa irraa barbaadamuu fi waan waldaa hunda irraa barbaadamu fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti haa raawwatan.
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.
Isaan hojii dunkaana qulqulluu hojjetanii dirqama Israaʼelootaa guutuudhaan miʼa dunkaana wal gaʼii hunda haa eegan.
9 The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
Lewwota sana Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni; isaan warra saba Israaʼel keessaa guutumaan guutuutti isatti kennamanii dha.
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.”
Ati akka isaan luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa muudi; namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluu sanatti dhiʼaatu garuu ajjeefamuu qaba.”
11 The Lord told Moses,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
12 “I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
“Kunoo ani Israaʼeloota keessaa qooda dhiira hangafa dubartoota Israaʼel hundaa Lewwota fudhadheera. Lewwonni kan koo ti;
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.”
hangafti hundinuu kan kootii. Ani yeroo biyya Gibxi keessatti hangafa hunda ajjeesetti hangafa Israaʼel hunda jechuunis namas taʼu horii ofii kootiif addaan baafadheera. Isaan kan koo taʼan. Ani Waaqayyo.”
14 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,
Waaqayyo Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
15 “Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
“Lewwota maatii isaaniitii fi balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi. Dhiira jiʼa tokkoo yookaan hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼi.”
16 So Moses registered them following the Lord's instructions, just as he had been told.
Museen akkuma dubbiin Waaqayyoo isa ajajetti isaan lakkaaʼe.

Museen, Aroonii fi ilmaan Aroon dunkaana qulqulluu irraa karaa baʼaa, qixa baʼa biiftuutiin fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii dura qubatan. Isaanis iddoo Israaʼelootaa buʼanii iddoo qulqulluu eeguutti itti gaafatamtoota turan. Namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluu sanatti dhiʼaatu haa ajjeefamu.

40 The Lord told Moses, “Conduct a census of all the firstborn Israelite males aged one month or older, and register their names.
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Dhiirota Israaʼel hangafoota kanneen jiʼa tokkootii fi hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼii maqaa isaanii barreessi.
41 Assign the Levites to me. I am the Lord. They are in place of all of the Israelites' firstborn children. The livestock of the Levites are in place of all the Israelites' firstborn livestock.”
Qooda ijoollee Israaʼel kanneen hangafa taʼan hundaa Lewwota naa fudhadhu; qooda ilmaan hangafa horii Israaʼelootaa hundaas horii Lewwotaa naa fudhadhu. Ani Waaqayyo.”
42 Moses conducted a census of all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord had instructed him.
Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti hangafoota Israaʼel hunda lakkaaʼe.
43 The sum total of the firstborn males a month old or more, registered by name, was 22,273.
Dhiironni hangafoonni jiʼa tokkoo fi hammasii olii kanneen maqaa maqaan barreeffaman hundii 22,273 turan.

Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
45 “You are to take the Levites in place of all the firstborn children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock, because the Levites belong to me. I am the Lord.
“Qooda ijoollee Israaʼel kanneen hangafa taʼan hundaa Lewwota fudhadhu; qooda horii Israaʼelootaas horii Lewwotaa fudhadhu. Lewwonni kan koo ti. Ani Waaqayyo.
46 In order to buy back the 273 firstborn Israelites who are more than the number of Levites,
Israaʼeloota hangafoota 273 kanneen baayʼina Lewwotaa caalan furuuf,
47 collect five shekels for each of them, (using the sanctuary shekel standard of twenty gerahs).
tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif akkuma madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti saqilii shan shan fuudhi; saqiliin tokko geeraa digdama.
48 He handed the money over to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the extra Israelites.”
Maallaqa Israaʼeloota dabalaman furuuf fuudhame sanas Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni.”
49 Moses collected the redemption money for those extra Israelites that were more than the number redeemed by the Levites.
Museen maallaqa sana Israaʼeloota lakkoobsaan warra Lewwotaan furamaniin ol taʼan sana irraa fuudhe.
50 He collected the money given on behalf of the Israelites' firstborn children. It came to 1,365 shekels, (using the sanctuary shekel standard).
Innis akka madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti meetii saqilii 1,365 ulfaattu Israaʼeloota hangafa irraa fuudhe.
51 Moses gave this redemption money to Aaron and his sons as the Lord had told him to, following the Lord's instructions.
Museenis akkuma dubbii Waaqayyootti, akkuma Waaqni Musee ajajetti maallaqa furii sana Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenne.
