Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Tala bakitani ya Aron mpe ya Moyize na tango oyo Yawe asololaki na Moyize, na ngomba Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron ezalaki: Nadabi, mwana ya liboso; Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Yango nde bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron, oyo babulisaki na nzela ya kopakola mafuta mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Nadabi mpe Abiyu bakufaki liboso ya Yawe tango bazalaki kobonza mbeka, na nzela ya moto oyo ebulisama te, liboso ya Yawe, na esobe ya Sinai. Batikalaki kozala na bana te. Boye Eleazari mpe Itamari kaka nde batikalaki kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe na bokambami ya tata na bango, Aron.
5 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
« Yeisa libota ya Levi pene ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe pesa bango na maboko na ye mpo ete basunga ye.
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Pesa Balevi na maboko ya Aron mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali; bango nde kati na bana ya Isalaele basengeli komipesa mobimba epai na ye.
10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to their priesthood; but the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death."
Tia Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali pembeni mpo ete basala mosala na bango ya Bonganga-Nzambe. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule, basengeli koboma ye. »
11 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
12 "Look, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
« Nakamati Ngai moko Balevi kati na bana ya Isalaele na esika ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso, mbuma ya liboso ya libumu ya mwasi nyonso ya Isalaele.
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Jehovah."
Pamba te, bana nyonso ya liboso bazali ya Ngai. Tango nabomaki bana nyonso ya liboso ya Ejipito, natiaki pembeni bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele mpo ete bazala ya Ngai, ezala bana ya bato to ya banyama. Nazali Yawe. »
14 Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:
15 "Count the descendants of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."
« Tanga motango ya Balevi kolanda mabota na bango mpe bituka na bango. Tanga bana mibali nyonso kobanda na ye oyo azali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka. »
16 Moses numbered them according to the word of Jehovah, as he was commanded.
Boye, Moyize atangaki bango ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.

40 Jehovah said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tanga motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, oyo bazali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, mpe koma bakombo na bango.
41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."
Okotia Balevi pembeni mpo na Ngai, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele nyonso ya Balevi, na esika ya bana ya liboso ya bibwele nyonso ya Isalaele. Nazali Yawe. »

Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Jehovah.
« Tia Balevi pembeni, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele ya Balevi, na esika ya bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele. Balevi bazali ya Ngai. Nazali Yawe.
46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites,
Mpo na kosikola bana ya liboso ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi,

Okopesa mbongo oyo osikoleli bana mibali nyonso, oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi, epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali. »
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
Azwaki na maboko ya bana liboso ya Isalaele mbongo ya bibende nkoto moko na nkama misato na tuku motoba na mitano kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Esika ya bule.
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Bongo Moyize apesaki mbongo yango ya lisiko epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
