Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that YHWH spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Hæ sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Et hæc nomina filiorum Aaron: primogenitus ejus Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.
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.
Hæc nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletæ et consecratæ manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before YHWH, when they offered strange fire before YHWH, 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.
Mortui sunt enim Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai, absque liberis: functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo.
5 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,
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.
et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,
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.
et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio ejus.
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.
Dabisque dono Levitas
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."
Aaron et filiis ejus, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israël. Aaron autem et filios ejus constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.
11 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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:
Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israël pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, eruntque Levitæ mei.
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 YHWH."
Meum est enim omne primogenitum: ex quo percussi primogenitos in terra Ægypti, sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israël: ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt. Ego Dominus.
14 YHWH spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:
15 "Count the descendants of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."
Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense et supra.
16 Moses numbered them according to the word of YHWH, as he was commanded.
Numeravit Moyses, ut præceperat Dominus,
17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
et inventi sunt filii Levi per nomina sua, Gerson et Caath et Merari.

Omnes Levitæ, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron juxta præceptum Domini per familias suas in genere masculino a mense uno et supra, fuerunt viginti duo millia.
40 YHWH 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.
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Numera primogenitos sexus masculini de filiis Israël ab uno mense et supra, et habebis summam eorum.
41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am YHWH) 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."
Tollesque Levitas mihi pro omni primogenito filiorum Israël: ego sum Dominus: et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israël.
42 Moses numbered, as YHWH commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Recensuit Moyses, sicut præceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israël:
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.
et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.
44 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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 YHWH.
Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitæ mei. Ego sum Dominus.
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,
In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israël,
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):
accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram sanctuarii (siclus habet viginti obolos):
48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis ejus pretium eorum qui supra sunt.
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Tulit igitur Moyses pecuniam eorum, qui fuerant amplius, et quos redemerant a Levitis,
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:
pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, mille trecentorum sexaginta quinque siclorum juxta pondus sanctuarii:
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of YHWH, as YHWH commanded Moses.
et dedit eam Aaron et filiis ejus juxta verbum quod præceperat sibi Dominus.
