Numbers 3

1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

Pea ko eni foki ʻae ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo ʻElone mo Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.

2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone; ko Natapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama.

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.

Pea ko e hingoa ia ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone naʻe fakanofo ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻakinautolu naʻa ne fakatapui ke ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

4 And 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: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.

Pea naʻe mate ʻa Natapi mo ʻApiu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi heʻena ʻomi ʻae afi kehe ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau: pea ko ʻEliesa mo ʻItama naʻa na ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko ʻena tamai.

5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

“Ke ke fakaofi mai ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, pea fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki koeʻuhi kenau ngāue kiate ia.

7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

Pea tenau tokanga ki heʻene ngāue, mo e ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

Pea tenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mo e ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Pea te ke foaki ʻae kau Livai kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha: kuo foaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kiate ia mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Pea te ke fakanofo ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, pea tenau fai ʻenau ngāue fakataulaʻeiki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:

“Pea ko au, vakai, Ko au kuo ʻomi ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē kuo ne toʻo ʻae manāva ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko ia ai, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae kau Livai;

13 for all the firstborn are mine; on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be; I am the LORD.

Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē; he ko e ʻaho ne u taaʻi ai ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ne u fakatapui ai kiate au ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻae tangata mo e manu; Ko au ko Sihova ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu.”

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻo pehē,

15 Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

Ke ke lau ʻae fānau ʻa Livai ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina, ke ke lau fakaʻaufuli ʻakinautolu.

16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau kiate ia.

17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Livai; ko Kesoni, mo Kohate, mo Melali.

18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni and Shimei.

Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Lipinai, mo Simi.

19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko ʻAmilami, mo ʻIsa, mo Hepeloni, mo ʻUsili.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Mali, mo Musi. Pea ko e ngaahi fānau ʻoe kau Livai ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

Pea naʻe ʻia Kesoni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Lipinai, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Simi; pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni ʻakinautolu ni.

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

Ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko fitu afe ma toko nimangeau.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

Pea ʻe nofo kituʻa ʻi he fale fehikitaki ki he potu lulunga ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni.

24 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

Pea ko ʻIliasafi ko e foha ʻo Laeli, ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae kau Kesoni.

25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the Tent, the covering thereof, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting,

Pea ko e ngāue ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e faletapu, pea mo e fale fehikitaki, mo hono pulonga, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

Pea mo e ngaahi puipui ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe lotoʻā, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale fehikitaki, pea ʻoku takatakai ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi maea ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi ai.

27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

Pea naʻe ʻia Kohate ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻAmilami, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻIsa, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Hepeloni, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻUsili, pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate ʻakinautolu ni.

28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

Ko e lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko valu afe ma toko onongeau, kuo nau fai ki he ngāue ʻoe faletapu.

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

Ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate tenau nofo ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

30 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

Pea ko ʻElisefani ko e foha ʻo ʻUsili ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate.

31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the screen, and all the service thereof.

Pea ko e meʻa kenau tauhi, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e palepale, mo e tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, mo e ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu ʻaia kuo nau ngāueʻaki, pea mo e puipui, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

Pea ko ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ko e pule ia ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe kau Livai, pea ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu.

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

Pea naʻe ʻia Melali ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Mali, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Musi: pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali ʻakinautolu ni.

34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē, mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ono afe ma toko uangeau.

35 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: they shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.

Pea ko Suleli ko e foha ʻo ʻEpieli ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali: ko kinautolu ni, ʻe nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

36 And the appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the instruments thereof, and all the service thereof;

Pea ʻoku ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻae ngaahi laupapa ʻoe fale fehikitaki, mo hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, mo hono ngaahi pou, mo hono ngaahi tuʻunga pou, pea mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻi ai.

37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

Pea mo e ngaahi ʻotu pou ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻunga, mo honau ngaahi tutuki, mo honau ngaahi maea.

38 And those that pitch before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ki he potu hahake, ʻio, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he potu hahake, ko Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha, ke tauhi ai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu ki he ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ko e muli ʻoku haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.

39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi he kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ua mano ma toko ua afe.

40 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke lau ʻae ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, pea ke lau honau hingoa.

41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

Pea ke ʻave ʻae kau Livai moʻoku, (Ko au ko Sihova) ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai, ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

Pea naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia.

43 And all the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

Pea ko e ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he lau ʻa honau hingoa mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko ua mano, mo e toko ua afe, mo e toko uangeau, mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu.

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle: and the Levites shall be mine; I am the LORD.

“ʻAve ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi hē fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻenau fanga manu pea ko e kau Livai ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu: Ko au ko Sihova.

46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are over and above [the number of] the Levites,

Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, ʻe huhuʻi ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu ʻoe ʻuluaki tama ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu kuo tokolahi hake ʻi he kau Livai;

47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):

Ke ke ʻave ʻa e[sikeli ]ʻe nima maʻanautolu taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki he[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu: (koe[sikeli ]ko e kela ʻe uofulu: )

48 and thou shalt give the money wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons.

Pea te ke ʻatu ʻae paʻanga, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha.”

49 And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae paʻanga huhuʻi ʻokinautolu naʻe tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe huhuʻi ʻe he kau Livai:

50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:

Naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko e[sikeli ]ʻe afe ma tolungeau ma onongofulu ma nima, ʻo fakatatau mo e[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu:

51 and Moses gave the redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
