Numbers 3
1 And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH’s speaking with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Esiawoe nye Aron kple Mose viwo, le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Sinai to la dzi la.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;
Viŋutsu enee nɔ Aron si. Woawoe nye Nadab, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar.
3 these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.
Wosi ami na wo katã, eye woɖo wo nunɔlawoe. Woɖe wo ɖe aga be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo le Agbadɔ la me.
4 And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron.
Ke Nadab kple Abihu ku le Yehowa ŋkume le Sinai gbedzi esi wowɔ dzo makɔmakɔ ŋu dɔ le vɔsasa na Yehowa me. Esi vi aɖeke menɔ wo si o ta la, Eleazar kple Itamar koe susɔ akpe ɖe wo fofo, Aron ŋuti.
5 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Eya ta Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
“Yɔ Levi ƒe viwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye nàtsɔ wo ana nunɔla Aron abe eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo ene.
7 and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
Woawɔ nu siwo Aron aɖo na wo. Woawɔ dɔ kɔkɔewo le Agbadɔ la me ɖe Israelviwo katã nu,
8 and they have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
Woakpɔ Agbadɔ la me nuwo kple Agbadɔ blibo la dzi
9 and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.
elabena wotsɔ wo katã na Aron abe Israelviwo katã ƒe teƒenɔlawo ene.
10 And you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.”
Ke Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo koe awɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔdeasiwo. Ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe si atɔ asi akɔ be yeawɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ la, woawui.”
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 “And I, behold, have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
“Metsɔ Levi ƒe viwo le Israelviwo dome ɖe Israel nyɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒe viŋutsu gbãtɔ teƒe. Levi ƒe viwo nye tɔnyewo.
13 for every firstborn [is] Mine, in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel, from man to beast; they are Mine; I [am] YHWH.”
Metsɔ wo ɖɔli viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo. Tso gbe si gbe mewu Egiptetɔwo ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔwo la, mexɔ Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo, amegbetɔwo tɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa na ɖokuinye! Tɔnyewoe wonye; nyee nye Yehowa!”
14 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le Sinai gbegbe la be,
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward—you number them.”
“Xlẽ Levi ƒe viwo le woƒe ƒomewo kple towo nu. Xlẽ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema.”
16 And Moses numbers them according to the command of YHWH, as he has been commanded.
Ale Mose xlẽ wo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya ɖo nɛ ene.
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

28 In number, all the males, from a son of a month and upward, [are] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the holy place.
Ŋutsu siwo xɔ dzinu ɖeka alo wu nenema la ƒe xexlẽme le ame akpe enyi, alafa ade. Woawo nakpɔ kɔkɔeƒe la me nuwo dzi.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamp southward by the side of the Dwelling Place.

31 And their charge [is] the Ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the vessels of the holy place with which they serve, and the veil, and all its service.

36 And the oversight [and] charge of the sons of Merari [are] the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all its service,
Levi ƒe viwo ƒe hlɔ̃ eve siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye woakpɔ ati siwo wotsɔ tu Agbadɔ la, sɔtiwo kple woƒe zɔwo kple nu sia nu si wohiã na wo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ la dzi,

38 And those encamping before the Dwelling Place eastward, before the Tent of Meeting, at the east, [are] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.
Wotia teƒe si le agbadɔ la ƒe ɣedzeƒe la da ɖi na Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe agbadɔwo. Ame siawo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakpɔ be agbadɔ la dzi kpɔlawo wɔ woƒe dɔdeasiwo pɛpɛpɛ ɖe Israelviwo nu. Ame sia ame si menye nunɔla alo Levi ƒe vi o, gake wòge ɖe agbadɔ la me la, aku.
39 All those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered—Aaron also—by the command of YHWH, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] twenty-two thousand.
Ale Levi ƒe viwo katã, siwo Mose kple Aron xlẽ abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ ene, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
40 And YHWH says to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up the number of their names;
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Azɔ la, xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la, eye nàŋlɔ wo katã ŋkɔ.
41 and you have taken the Levites for Me (I [am] YHWH), instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of every firstling among the livestock of the sons of Israel.”
Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo nam ɖe Israelviwo ƒe lãhawo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã teƒe. Nyee nye Yehowa.”
42 And Moses numbers, as YHWH has commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
Ale Mose xlẽ Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene,
43 And every firstborn male, by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
eye wòkpɔ be viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo, ame siwo xɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃.
44 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be,
45 “Take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] YHWH.
“Tsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ɖɔli Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã, eye nàtsɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe lãhawo aɖɔli Israelviwo tɔe. Levi ƒe viwo anye tɔnyewo; nyee nye Yehowa.
46 And [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are more than the Levites,
Be nàƒle Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbevi alafa eve blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, siwo sɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ta la,
47 you have even taken five shekels apiece by the counted head—you take by the shekel of the holy place; the shekel [is] twenty gerahs;

48 and you have given the money to Aaron and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.”
Tsɔ ga si wona hena Israelvi mamlɛawo ɖeɖe la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.”
49 And Moses takes the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;
Ale Mose xɔ taƒlega ɖe Israelviwo ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ alafa eve, blaadre-vɔ-etɔ̃, ame siwo wotsɔ wosɔ gbɔ wu Levi ƒe viwo ƒe xexlẽme la ta.
50 he has taken the money from the firstborn of the sons of Israel—one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five, by the shekel of the holy place;
Ga si woxɔ le Israelviwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo si la ƒe kpekpeme le klosalo kilogram wuiatɔ̃ kple afã le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu
51 and Moses gives the money of those ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the command of YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Mose tsɔ taƒlega la na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo abe ale si Yehowa ƒe nya de see nɛ ene.
