Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Sasa hii ndiyo historia ya uzao wa Haruni na Musa wakati BWANA aliposema na Musa kwenye mlima Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Majina ya watoto wa Haruni walikuwa Nadabu ambaye ndiyo mtoto wa kwanza, na Abihu, na Eliezeri, na Ithamari.
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.
Haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Haruni, makuhani waliokuwa wamepakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kutumika kama makuhani.
4 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. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Lakini Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele ya BWANA walipomtolea moto usiokubalika walipokuwa katika nyika ya Sinai. Nadabu na Abihu hawakuwa na watoto, kwa hiyo Eliazari na Ithamari walitumika kama makuhani pamoja na baba yao.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa, akamwambia,
6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Walete kabila ya Lawi na uwaweke kwa Haruni kuhani ili wamsaidie
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.
Nao lazima wafanye majukumu badala ya Haruni na jumuiya yote mbele ya hema ya kukutania. Lazima watumike hemani.
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.
Watayatunza mapambo ya hema ya kukutania, na watawatumikia makabila ya Israel kwa huduma ya hemani.
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.
Uwaweke Walawi kwa Haruni na watoto wake. Nimewatoa kikamilifu ili wamsaidie kuwatumikia watu wa Israel.
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."
Umchague Haruni na watoto wake kuwa makuhani, lakini mgeni yeyote atakayekaribia lazima auawe.”
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa. akamwambia,
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:
“Tazama, nimewachagua Walawi katika watu wa Israel. Nimefanya hivyo badala ya kuchukua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa wana wa Israel. Hawa Walawi ni wangu.
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 the LORD."
Na hata wazaliwa wa kwanza ni mali yangu. Katika siku ambyo niliwavamia wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa nchi ya Misri, Niliwatenga wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli kwa ajili yangu, watu na wanyama pia. Ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.”
14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Musa na Haruni wakawahesabu wanaume wote wa ukoo wa Walawi walikuwa na umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi, kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa ameagiza. Walihesabu wanaume ishirini na mbili elfu.
40 The LORD 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.
BWANA alisema na Musa, “Wahesabu wanaume wote ambo ni wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli ambao wana umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Orodhesha majina yao.
41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) 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."
Unitwalie walawi kwa ajili yangu badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, Mimi ndimi BWANA. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wanyama wa uzao wa Israeli,”
42 Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Musa akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli kama BWANA alivyomwagiza kufanya.
43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Aliwahesabu wazaliwa wote wa kwanza kwa mjina, wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Alihesabu wanaume 22, 273.

Tena BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
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 the LORD.
“Watwae Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wanyama wa Waisreli wengine. Walawi ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.
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,
Unikusanyie shekeli tano za wokovu kwa kila hao 273 za hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli za hao wanaozidi idadi ya Walawi.
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
Utazitumia hizo shekeli tano kwa kipimo cha mahali patakatifu. Shekeli moja ni sawa na gera ishirini.
48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
Utawalipa hizo shekeli za wokovu kwa Haruni na wanawe.”
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Kwa hiyo Musa akakusanya shakeli za wokovu kutoka kwa wale waliozidi idadi ya wale waliookolewa na Walawi.
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:
Musa akakusanya zile fedha kutoka kwa hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Alikusanya jumla ya shekeli 1, 365, zenye kipimo sawa na mahali patakatifu. Musa akamlipa Haruni na wanawe hizo shekeli za wokovu.
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Musa akafanya kila kitu alichoagizwa na neno la BWANA kama BWANA alivyomwagiza.
