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,
Chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar ariyo e higa mar ariyo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa e Hemb Romo e Thim mar Sinai ka jo-Israel nosewuok Misri. Nowachone niya,
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.
“Kaw kwan dhout oganda mar jo-Israel duto kaluwore gi gwengegi kod anywolagi, kindiko nying joma chwo duto moro ka moro.
In kod Harun mondo ukwan jo-Israel kuketogi e migepegi, ma mago jo-higni piero ariyo kadhi nyime nyalo tiyo e lweny.
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.
Kaw ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot, ka moro ka moro otelo ne jog-gi mondo okonyi kweno.
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.”
“Magi e nying joma chwo mabiro konyi kweno: “koa kuom joka Reuben, kaw Elizur wuod Shedeur;
koa kuom joka Simeon, kaw Shelumiel wuod Zurishadai;
koa kuom joka Juda, kaw Nashon wuod Aminadab;
koa kuom joka Isakar, kaw Nethanel wuod Zuar;
koa kuom joka Zebulun, kaw Eliab wuod Helon.
Magi e joma chwo mane okaw koa kuom yawuot Josef: koa kuom Efraim, kaw Elishama wuod Amihud; koa kuom Manase, kaw Gamaliel wuod Pedazur;
koa kuom joka Benjamin, kaw Abidan wuod Gideoni;
koa kuom joka Dan, kaw Ahiezer wuod Amishadai;
koa kuom joka Asher, kaw Pagiel wuod Okran;
koa kuom joka Gad, kaw Eliasaf wuod Dewel;
koa kuom joka Naftali, kaw Ahira wuod Enan.”
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.
Magi e joma chwo mane oyier koa e dhoudi, mane gin jotend dhoudigo. Gin ema ne gin jotend dhout Israel.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Musa gi Harun nokawo nying joma nomigi,
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
kendo negiluongo jogwengʼno duto kanyakla e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar ariyo. Ji nonyiso nonro margi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod anywola mag-gi, kendo joma hikgi piero ariyo kadhi nyime nondik nying-gi, moro ka moro,
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa. Kuom mano ma e kaka Musa nokwanogi e Thim mar Sinai.
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.

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.
Magi e joma Musa gi Harun kod jotend Israel apar gariyo nokwano, ka moro ka moro ochungʼ ne anywolane.
Jo-Israel duto ma jo-higni piero ariyo kadhi nyime mane nyalo tiyo e lwenj Israel nokwan kaluwore gi anywolagi.
46 The total was 603,550 men.
Kar rombgi ne gin ji alufu mia auchiel gadek mia abich gi piero abich.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Anywola mar jo-Lawi, kata kamano, ne ok okwan gi joma moko.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
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.
“Kik ikwan dhood Lawi kata riwogi e kweno mar jo-Israel mamoko.
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.
Kuom mano, yier jo-Lawi mondo obed jorit Hemb Romo mar Rapar kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie iye. Gin ema nyaka gitingʼ Hemb Romo gi gige; kendo girite maber ka gilwore kod hembegi koni gi koni.
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.
Kamoro amora ma itero e Hema, jo-Lawi ema nyaka gole oko, kendo kamoro amora midhi gure Hema, jo-Lawi ema nyaka gure. Ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni kode nyaka negi.
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.
Jo-Israel nyaka gur hembegi e migepe, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato nitiere kare owuon kaluwore gi rangʼiny moketi.
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.”
Jo-Lawi, kata kamano, nyaka gur hembegi e alwora mar Hemb Romo mar Rapar mondo omi mirimb Jehova Nyasaye kik lwar kuom oganda mar jo-Israel. Jo-Lawi nobed karito Hemb Romo mar Rapar.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Jo-Israel notimo gigi duto mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
