Numbers 26

1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:

Baada ya hiyo tauni, Bwana akamwambia Mose na Eleazari mwana wa kuhani Aroni,

2 'Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.'

“Hesabu jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli kwa jamaa zao, wale wote wenye umri wa miaka ishirini na zaidi, ambao wanaweza kutumika katika jeshi la Israeli.”

3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:

Hivyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakazungumza na watu kwenye nchi tambarare ya Moabu, ngʼambo ya Yordani kutokea Yeriko, wakasema,

4 'Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward, as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt.'

“Hesabuni wanaume wenye umri wa miaka ishirini na zaidi, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.” Hawa ndio Waisraeli waliotoka Misri:

9 And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, the elect of the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD;

nao wana wa Eliabu walikuwa Nemueli, Dathani na Abiramu. Hawa wawili Dathani na Abiramu ndio walikuwa maafisa wa jumuiya ambao walimwasi Mose na Aroni, na walikuwa miongoni mwa wafuasi wa Kora wakati walimwasi Bwana.

10 and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died; what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign.

Ardhi ilifunua kinywa chake na kuwameza pamoja na Kora, ambaye wafuasi wake walikufa wakati moto ulipowateketeza wanaume 250. Nao walikuwa kama alama ya onyo.

“Watagawiwa nchi kama urithi kwa kulingana na hesabu ya majina.

54 To the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance; to each one according to those that were numbered of it shall its inheritance be given.

Kundi kubwa zaidi lipe urithi mkubwa zaidi, na kundi dogo zaidi lipewe urithi mdogo zaidi; kila kundi litapokea urithi wake kulingana na hesabu ya wale walioorodheshwa.

55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

Hakikisha kuwa nchi inagawanywa kwa kura. Kile kitakachorithiwa na kila kikundi kitakuwa kwa kulingana na majina ya kabila la babu yao.

56 According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.'

Kila urithi utagawanywa kwa kura miongoni mwa makundi makubwa na madogo.”

jina la mke wa Amramu ni Yokebedi, naye pia alikuwa mzao wa Lawi, ambaye alizaliwa kwa Walawi nchini Misri. Alimzalia Amramu: Aroni, Mose na dada yao Miriamu.

60 And unto Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Lakini Nadabu na Abihu walikufa wakati walitoa sadaka mbele za Bwana kwa moto usioruhusiwa.)

62 And they that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

Wanaume wote wa Walawi wa umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi walikuwa 23,000. Wao hawakuhesabiwa pamoja na Waisraeli wengine kwa sababu hawakupokea urithi miongoni mwao.

63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Hawa ndio walioorodheshwa na Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakati waliwahesabu Waisraeli kwenye nchi tambarare ya Moabu, kando ya Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.

64 But among these there was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekuwa miongoni mwa wale waliohesabiwa na Mose na kuhani Aroni wakati waliwahesabu Waisraeli katika Jangwa la Sinai.

65 For the LORD had said of them: 'They shall surely die in the wilderness.' And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Kwa maana Bwana alikuwa amewaambia hao Waisraeli hakika wangekufa huko jangwani, wala hakuna mmoja wao aliyeachwa, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
