< Numbers 3 >

1 THESE also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
Pa inge fwilin tulik natul Aaron ac Moses ke pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sel Moses Fineol Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Oasr wen akosr natul Aaron: Nadab pa matu emeet, na Abihu, Eleazar, ac Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
Elos akmusrala ac akmutalyeyukla nu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
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 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
“Kuhlma sruf lal Levi nu meet uh, ac srisrngelosi tuh elos in mwet kulansap lal Aaron mwet tol.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do 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 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Elos ac fah karingin kufwen mwe orekma nukewa ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac oru orekma ke inen mwet Israel nukewa.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
Pwayena ma kunen mwet Levi pa in kulansupal Aaron ac wen natul.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
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 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
“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; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: 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 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
In acn Mwesis Sinai LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
elan oakla mwet Levi fal nu ke kais sie sifen sou lulap lalos, ac elan simusla inen mukul nukewa ma malem seyak matwa.
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
Na Moses el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Pa inge inen wen tolu natul Levi: Gershon, Kohath, ac Merari. Elos pa matu in sou lulap lalos, su fwilin tulik natulos ekin.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
Sou lulap se inge pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos tukun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen roto.
24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
Ma kunen mwet in sou lulap lal Gershon pa in karinganang Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, mwe afyuf loac, mwe afyuf lik, ac lisrlisr nu ke acn in utyak uh,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
Oayapa elos pa ac fosrngakin sru uh, kapin sru uh, kwi ac sucl nu ke kalkal lik ah.
38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Moses, Aaron ac wen natul pa ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen kutulap. Ma kunalos in oru orekma nukewa in Acn Mutal nu sin mwet Israel. Kutena mwet saya su srike in oru orekma inge ac tufah anwuki.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
Pisa lulap ke mukul Levi nukewa su malem seyak matwa, su Moses el oakla ke kais sie sou lulap, fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin, oasr ke tausin longoul luo.
40 And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses: “Oakla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel ma malem seyak matwa, ac simusla inelos.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Tusruktu, in aol wounse nukewa inge, nga fah eis mwet Levi tuh in ma nutik. Nga LEUM GOD. Ac nga fah eis kosro nutin mwet Levi in aol wounsien kosro nukewa nutin mwet Israel.”
42 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.
“Kom fah eis mwet Levi tuh elos in ma nutik in aol wounsien mwet Israel nukewa, ac eis kosro nukewa nutin mwet Levi in ma nutik, aoliyen wounsien kosro nukewa nutin mwet Israel. Nga LEUM GOD fahk ouinge.
46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
Ke sripen wounsien mwet Israel pus liki mwet Levi ke mwet luofoko itngoul tolu, kom enenu in moli nu sik lupa yolyak sac.
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs: )
Molin kais sie selos pa ipin silver limekosr, fal nu srikasrak oakwuki nu kac.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
Kom fah sang mani inge nu sel Aaron ac wen natul.”
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Ouinge, Moses el akos ac eisani
50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
ipin silver tausin sie ac tolfoko onngoul limekosr
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
ac sang nu sel Aaron ac wen natul, fal nu ke kas ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.
