Numbers 3
1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that YHWH spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
Sasa hii ndiyo historia ya uzao wa Haruni na Musa wakati BWANA aliposema na Musa kwenye mlima Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Majina ya watoto wa Haruni walikuwa Nadabu ambaye ndiyo mtoto wa kwanza, na Abihu, na Eliezeri, na Ithamari.
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.
Haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Haruni, makuhani waliokuwa wamepakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kutumika kama makuhani.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before YHWH, when they offered strange fire before YHWH, 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.
Lakini Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele ya BWANA walipomtolea moto usiokubalika walipokuwa katika nyika ya Sinai. Nadabu na Abihu hawakuwa na watoto, kwa hiyo Eliazari na Ithamari walitumika kama makuhani pamoja na baba yao.
5 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa, akamwambia,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
“Walete kabila ya Lawi na uwaweke kwa Haruni kuhani ili wamsaidie
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.
Nao lazima wafanye majukumu badala ya Haruni na jumuiya yote mbele ya hema ya kukutania. Lazima watumike hemani.
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.
Watayatunza mapambo ya hema ya kukutania, na watawatumikia makabila ya Israel kwa huduma ya hemani.
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.
Uwaweke Walawi kwa Haruni na watoto wake. Nimewatoa kikamilifu ili wamsaidie kuwatumikia watu wa Israel.
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.
Umchague Haruni na watoto wake kuwa makuhani, lakini mgeni yeyote atakayekaribia lazima auawe.”
11 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa. akamwambia,
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;
“Tazama, nimewachagua Walawi katika watu wa Israel. Nimefanya hivyo badala ya kuchukua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa wana wa Israel. Hawa Walawi ni wangu.
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 YHWH.
Na hata wazaliwa wa kwanza ni mali yangu. Katika siku ambyo niliwavamia wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa nchi ya Misri, Niliwatenga wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli kwa ajili yangu, watu na wanyama pia. Ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.”
14 And YHWH spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa katika nyika ya Sinai. Akasema,
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.
“Wahesabu uzao wa Lawi katika kila familia, katika nyumba za koo zao. Hesabu kila mume kuanzia mwezi mmoja au zaidi.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of YHWH, as he was commanded.
Musa aliwahesabu, kufuata maelekezo ya BWANA, kama alivyoamriwa kufanya.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

Musa na Haruni na watoto wake watapanga upande wa mashariki wa masikani, mbele ya hema ya kukutania kuelekea mawio ya jua. Wao wataajibika na majukumu ya mahali patakatifu na majukumu ya wana wa Israeli. Mgeni atakayekaribia mahali patakatifu auawe.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of YHWH, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
Musa na Haruni wakawahesabu wanaume wote wa ukoo wa Walawi walikuwa na umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi, kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa ameagiza. Walihesabu wanaume ishirini na mbili elfu.
40 And YHWH 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.
BWANA alisema na Musa, “Wahesabu wanaume wote ambo ni wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli ambao wana umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Orodhesha majina yao.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am YHWH ) 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.
Unitwalie walawi kwa ajili yangu badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, Mimi ndimi BWANA. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wanyama wa uzao wa Israeli,”
42 And Moses numbered, as YHWH commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Musa akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli kama BWANA alivyomwagiza kufanya.
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.
Aliwahesabu wazaliwa wote wa kwanza kwa mjina, wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Alihesabu wanaume 22, 273.
44 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
Tena BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
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 YHWH.
“Watwae Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wanyama wa Waisreli wengine. Walawi ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.
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;
Unikusanyie shekeli tano za wokovu kwa kila hao 273 za hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli za hao wanaozidi idadi ya Walawi.
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: )
Utazitumia hizo shekeli tano kwa kipimo cha mahali patakatifu. Shekeli moja ni sawa na gera ishirini.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
Utawalipa hizo shekeli za wokovu kwa Haruni na wanawe.”
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Kwa hiyo Musa akakusanya shakeli za wokovu kutoka kwa wale waliozidi idadi ya wale waliookolewa na Walawi.
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:
Musa akakusanya zile fedha kutoka kwa hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Alikusanya jumla ya shekeli 1, 365, zenye kipimo sawa na mahali patakatifu. Musa akamlipa Haruni na wanawe hizo shekeli za wokovu.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of YHWH, as YHWH commanded Moses.
Musa akafanya kila kitu alichoagizwa na neno la BWANA kama BWANA alivyomwagiza.
