< Numbers 3 >

1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yhwh spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa njiaro cia Harũni na Musa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova aaririe na Musa Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Harũni maarĩ Nadabu ũrĩa warĩ irigithathi, na Abihu, na Eleazaru, na Ithamaru.
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.
Macio nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Harũni, nao maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai aitĩrĩrie maguta, arĩa maamũrĩtwo matungatage marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Yhwh, when they offered profane 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.
Na rĩrĩ, Nadabu na Abihu nĩmakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova rĩrĩa maarutaga igongona na mwaki ũtarĩ mwĩtĩkĩrie mbere yake Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai. Matiarĩ na ciana cia aanake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Eleazaru na Ithamaru nĩo maatungataga marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ithe wao Harũni aarĩ muoyo.
5 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
“Rehe andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ũmaneane kũrĩ Harũni mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩguo mamũteithagie.
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.
Marĩĩrutaga wĩra wa kũmũtungatĩra, na matungatagĩre kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe hau Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra wa hema ĩyo.
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.
Nao marĩmenyagĩrĩra indo ciothe cia Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, mahingagie maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra wa hema ĩyo.
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.
Neana Alawii acio kũrĩ Harũni na ariũ ake; nĩo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mekũneanwo kũrĩ we biũ.
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.
Amũra Harũni na ariũ ake matungatage marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai; mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩkuhagĩrĩria harĩa haamũre no nginya ooragwo.”
11 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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;
“Niĩ nĩ niĩ thuurĩte Alawii kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ithenya rĩa marigithathi ma arũme arĩa marigithathĩtwo nĩ andũ-a-nja othe a Isiraeli. Alawii nĩ akwa,
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.
nĩgũkorwo marigithathi mothe nĩ makwa. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndooragire marigithathi mothe ma Misiri, noguo ndeyamũrĩire marigithathi mothe ma Isiraeli, marĩ ma mũndũ kana ma nyamũ. Macio nĩ makwa kĩũmbe. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
14 And Yhwh spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai atĩrĩ,
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.
“Tara Alawii kũringana na nyũmba ciao na mbarĩ ciao. Tara arũme othe arĩa makinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of Yhwh, as he was commanded.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Musa akĩmatara o ta ũrĩa aathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Lawi: Nĩ Gerishoni, na Kohathu, na Merari.
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.

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,

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.
Musa na Harũni na ariũ ake maarĩ mambage hema ciao mwena wa irathĩro wa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre, mangʼetheire irathĩro, o hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Wĩra wao warĩ wa kũmenyerera harĩa haamũre ithenya rĩa andũ a Isiraeli. Mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩakuhĩrĩirie hau haamũre aarĩ ooragwo.
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.
Alawii arĩa othe maatarirwo ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni kũringana na mbarĩ ciao, hamwe na arũme othe arĩa maakinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, maarĩ andũ 22,000.
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.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tara marigithathi ma arũme othe ma andũ a Isiraeli arĩa makinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, na wandĩke marĩĩtwa mao.
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.
Nyamũrĩra Alawii handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli; o naguo ũhiũ wa Alawii ũwaamũre handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma mahiũ ma andũ a Isiraeli. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
42 And Moses numbered, as Yhwh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtara marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
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.
Marigithathi mothe ma arũme arĩa maakinyĩtie mweri ũmwe na makĩria, maandĩkwo na marĩĩtwa mao, maarĩ andũ 22,273.
44 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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.
“Amũra Alawii handũ ha marigithathi mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli, naguo ũhiũ wa Alawii ũwaamũre handũ ha mahiũ mao. Alawii megũtuĩka akwa. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
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;
Gũkũũra marigithathi macio 273 ma andũ a Isiraeli, acio makĩrĩte mũigana wa Alawii-rĩ,
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: )
oya cekeri ithano irũgamĩrĩre o mũndũ, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, ĩrĩa ũritũ wayo ũrĩ gera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
Mbeeca icio cia gũkũũra andũ a Isiraeli acio makĩrĩte-rĩ, cinengere Harũni na ariũ ake.”
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩũngania mbeeca cia gũkũũra andũ acio maakĩrĩte mũigana wa andũ arĩa maakũũrĩtwo nĩ Alawii.
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:
Kuuma kũrĩ marigithathi ma andũ a Isiraeli, akĩũngania betha ya ũritũ wa cekeri 1,365 kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
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 akĩnengera Harũni na ariũ ake mbeeca icio ciakũũrĩte andũ, o ta ũrĩa aathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova.
