Numbers 3
1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke 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 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.
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 the LORD spoke 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 you shall 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 you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that comes 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 the LORD spoke 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 opens the womb 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 stroke 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.
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 the LORD spoke 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 shall you 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 the LORD, 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.

38 But those that camp 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 comes nigh shall be put to death.

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.

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.
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 you shall 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.
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 the LORD 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 the LORD spoke 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 the LORD.
“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 You shall even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shall you 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 you shall 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 the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Musa akĩnengera Harũni na ariũ ake mbeeca icio ciakũũrĩte andũ, o ta ũrĩa aathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova.
