Numbers 26

1 And it came to pass after the plague, That the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Elazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

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

2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by the descent from their fathers, 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 with El'azar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite 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, who went 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 Dathan and Abiram, men called to the assembly, who quarreled against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korach, at the time they quarreled 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 When the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korach, while that company died, when the fire devoured the 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 large tribe shalt thou give the more inheritance, and to the small shalt thou give the less inheritance: to each according to those that were numbered thereof 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 Nevertheless, through the lot shall the land be divided: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they obtain their inheritance.

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

56 By the decision of the lot shall the inheritance of each be divided, according as they are many or few.

59 And the name of 'Amram's wife was Yochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom [her mother] bore to Levi in Egypt; and she bore unto Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

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 there were born unto Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar.

62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all the males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was not given unto them any inheritance 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 those that were numbered by Moses and Elazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, opposite Jericho.

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

64 And among these there was not one man of those whom Moses and Aaron the priest had numbered, 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 of them one man, save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, 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.
