Numbers 1
1 In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
Eso age amola oubi ageyadu amoga Isala: ili dunu ilia da Idibidi yolesi ode ageyadu ganodini, Hina Gode da Ea Abula Diasu, Sainai hafoga: i soge ganodini diala, amo ganodini Mousesema sia: i.
2 “I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
E da amane sia: i, “Di amola Elane amo Isala: ili dunu ilia sosogo fi amola fidafa amoga idisu hamoma. Dunu huluane amo da ode 20 lalelegele esalu, amola ode 20 baligi, amola ilia da dadi gagui hawa: hamomusa: defele esala, amo huluane ilia dio dedema.
4 [I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
Fi huluane afae afae ilia bisilua ali fidima: ne sia: ma.
5 Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
Fi amoga bisilua, amo hawa: hamomusa: ilia fi dunu amoga ilegei, ilia dio da haguduga dedei diala; Fi ...Fi Bisilua Liubene...Elaise (Siedia egefe) Simiane... Sieliumiele (Siulisia: dai egefe) Yuda...Na: iasione (Aminada: be egefe) Isaga...Nida: niele (Sua egefe) Sebiulane...Ilaia: be (Hilone egefe) Ifala: ime...Ilisiama (Amihade egefe) Ma: na: se...Ga: maliele (Bedase egefe) Bediamini...Abaida: ne (Gidioni egefe) Da: ne...Ahaise (Amisia: da: ia; egefe) A: sie...Ba: igiele (Ogela: ne egefe) Ga: de...Ilaiasa: fe (Diuele egefe) Na: fadalai...Ahaila (Ina: ne egefe)
16 Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Amo dunu fagoyale gala, ilia da Mousese amola Elane fidi. Ilia, da
18 and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
eso age amola oubi ageyadu amoga Isala: ili fi huluane gilisimusa: wele sia: i. Amalalu, ilia da ilia fi amola sosogo fi huluane afafane, ilia dio huluane dedei. Dunu amo da ode 20 lalelegele esalu amola amo baligi ilia da ilia dio dedene idi.
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele, ilia da hamoi dagoi. Mousese da amo dunu idisu, Sainai hafoga: i soge ganodini hamoi.
20 This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.
Dunu amo da ode 20 lalelegele esalu, amola amo baligi, amo da dadi gagumu defele ba: loba, amo huluane ilia fi amola sosogo fi defele dedei dagoi ba: i. Ilia da Liubene (Ya: igobe ea mano magobo) hidadea dedei. Idi huluane da agoane: - Fi ...Idisu Liubene ...46,500 Simiane ...59,300 Ga: de ...45,650 Yuda ...74,600 Isaga ...54,400 Sebiulane ...57,400 Ifala: ime ...40,500 Ma: na: se ...32,200 Bediamini ...35,400 Da: ne ...62,700 A: sie ...41,500 Na: fadalai ...53,400 Huluane gilisi idi da ...603,550
44 That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
46 The total was 603,550 men.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Lifai fi da eno dunu fi ilima gilisili hame dedei.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
Bai Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i dagoi,
49 “When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
“Di da dunu amo da dadi gagumu defele gala dedesea, Lifai fi dunu mae dedema.
50 Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
Be Lifai fi dunu amo ilia Na abula diasu amola hawa: hamosu liligi ganodini sali amo huluane ouligima: ne sia: ma. Ilia da Na abula diasu amola liligi huluane gaguli masunu. Ilia da amo abula diasu ganodini hawa: hamomu amola ilia fisu diasu amoga sisiga: le gagumu.
51 Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
Dilia fisisu mugululi masusa: dawa: sea, Lifai dunu da amo mugululi, gaguli ahoasea, gaheabolo sogebi amoga bu gagumu. Be eno dunu da abula diasuga gadenenewane doaga: sea, amo dunu medole legema.
52 The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
Be Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da fisisu higagale gaguli gagamu. Ilia da fi afae afae amanewane ilia abula diasu ilisu eso gosa: gisu abula haguduga gagumu.
53 But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
Be Lifai fi da Na Abula Diasu noga: le ouligima: ne, amogai sisiga: le fimu. Eno dunu da gadenene masea, Na ougi da Isala: ili fi fasa: besa: le, agoane noga: le ouligima.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Hina Gode Ea Mousesema hamoma: ne sia: i huluane defele hamoi.
