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,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼọzara Saịnaị, nʼime ụlọ nzute, nʼụbọchị nke mbụ, nʼọnwa nke abụọ nke afọ abụọ, mgbe ụmụ Izrel pụtachara site nʼobodo Ijipt. Ọ sịrị,
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.
“Gaa gụọ ma chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile e nwere nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel, dịka ebo ha na agbụrụ ha si dị, na dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dịkwa. Depụta aha nwoke ọbụla nʼotu na otu.
Gị na Erọn ga-agụkọta ndị ikom Izrel niile gbara iri afọ abụọ maọbụ karịa ọnụ, bụ ndị tozuru ije agha. Unu ga-edo ha nʼusuu, nʼusuu.
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.
Otu nwoke, site nʼebo Izrel ọbụla, onye bụ onyendu ezinaụlọ, ga-esonyere unu nʼọrụ a.
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.”
“Ndị a bụ aha ndị ikom ndị ahụ ga-enyere unu aka. “Site nʼebo Ruben, Elizọ na Shedeua,
site nʼebo Simiọn, Shelumiel nwa Zurishadai,
site nʼebo Juda, Nashọn nwa Aminadab,
site nʼebo Isaka, Netanel nwa Zua,

Site nʼụmụ Josef: site nʼebo Ifrem, Elishama nwa Amihud site nʼebo Manase, Gamaliel nwa Pedazo

site nʼebo Asha, Pagịel nwa Okran
site nʼebo Gad, Eliasaf nwa Deuel
site nʼebo Naftalị, Ahira nwa 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.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom e si nʼọgbakọ ahụ họpụta, ndị bụ ndị ndu ebo dị iche iche nʼIzrel. Ha bụ ndị ndu ebo niile dị nʼIzrel.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Mosis na Erọn nabatara ndị ikom ndị a, bụ ndị e depụtara aha ha.
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
Emesịa, ha kpọrọ nzukọ ndị Izrel niile ka ha zukọọ nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa abụọ. Ndị niile zukọrọ kọwara ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si pụta nʼotu na otu. Ma ndị ikom niile gbara site nʼiri afọ abụọ gbagoo ka e denyere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ nʼotu na otu,
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye Mosis nʼiwu. Otu a kwa ka Mosis si gụọ ha ọnụ nʼọzara Saịnaị.
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.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikom Mosis na Erọn, na ndị ndu Izrel iri na abụọ ndị ahụ gụrụ ọnụ, onye ọbụla nʼime ha nọchitere anya ezinaụlọ ya.
Ndị Izrel niile gbara iri afọ abụọ gbagoo, ndị nwere ike ije agha ka a gụrụ ọnụ dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
46 The total was 603,550 men.
Mgbakọ ọnụọgụgụ ndị a niile dị, narị puku isii, puku atọ, narị ise na iri ise.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
A gụnyekọtaghị ọnụọgụgụ ebo nna nna Livayị nʼịgụ ọnụ a,
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, sị,
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.
“Ị gaghị agụ ndị ebo Livayị ọnụ. Ị gakwaghị agbakọnye ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị Izrel.
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.
Kama, ị ga-ahọpụta ndị Livayị ka ha bụrụ ndị nlekọta ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama, na ngwongwo niile, na ihe niile dị nye ya. Ọ bụ ha ga-ebu ụlọ nzute ahụ na ngwongwo ya niile: ha ga na-elekọta ihe banyere ya, ọ bụkwa gburugburu ya ka ha ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha.
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.
Mgbe ọbụla kwa a ga-ebugharị ya maka njem, ọ bụ ọrụ ha iweda ya. Mgbe ọbụla a ga-eguzo ya ọtọ, ọ bụkwa ọrụ ndị Livayị iguzobe ya ọtọ. Onye ọbụla ọzọ ga-abịa nso ka a ga-egbu.
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.
Ebo Izrel ndị ọzọ ga-enwe ebe dị iche nye onwe ha, ebe ha ga-ewu ụlọ ikwu ha. Ha ga-akwụbakwa ọkọlọtọ nke ha, igosi aha ebo ha.
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.”
Ndị Livayị ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha gburugburu ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama ahụ, ka iwe ọkụ m ghara ịbịakwasị nʼahụ nzukọ ụmụ Izrel. Ọ bụ ọrụ ndị Livayị ilekọta ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama ahụ.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Ya mere, Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
