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,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy tany an-efitr’ i Sinay, tao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana faharoa, tamin’ ny taona faharoa taorian’ ny nivoahany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka nanao hoe:
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.
Alao isa ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany avy, ary araka ny anarany tsirairay,
dia ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, dia izay rehetra azo alefa hanafika; handamina azy araka ny antokony avy ianao sy Arona.
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.
Ary aoka hisy lehilahy iray avy isam-pirenena ho namanareo, dia izay samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy.
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.”
Ary izao no anaran’ ireo lehilahy ho namanareo ireo: Ny avy amin’ i Robena dia Elizora, zanak’ i Sedeora;
ny avy amin’ i Simeona dia Selomiela, zanak’ i Zorisaday;
ny avy amin’ i Joda dia Nasona, zanak’ i Aminadaba;
ny avy amin’ Isakara dia Netanela, zanak’ i Zoara;
ny avy amin’ i Zebolona dia Eliaba, zanak’ i Helona;
ny avy amin’ ny zanak’ i Josefa dia Elisama, zanak’ i Amihoda, avy amin’ i Efraima, ary Gamaliela, zanak’ i Pedazora, avy amin’ i Manase kosa;
ny avy amin’ i Benjamina dia Abidana, zanak’ i Gideony;
ny avy amin’ i Dana dia Ahiezera, zanak’ i Amisaday;
ny avy amin’ i Asera dia Fagiela, zanak’ i Okrana;
ny avy amin’ i Gada dia Eliasafa, zanak’ i Doela;
ny avy amin’ i Naftaly dia Ahira, zanak’ i Enana.
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.
Ireo no voafidin’ ny fiangonana, dia samy lohan’ ny fireneny avy sady mpifehy arivo amin’ ny Isiraely.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Ary Mosesy sy Arona naka ireo olona voatonona anarana ireo,
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
dia namory ny fiangonana rehetra tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana faharoa; ary samy nampanoratra ny anarany avy izy araka ny firazanany, dia araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany, ary araka ny anarany tsirairay, hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra.
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
Araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nandaminany azy tany an-efitr’ Sinay.
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.
Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Robena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany, ary araka ny anarany tsirairay, dia ny lehilahy rehetra hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izay azo nalefa hanafika,
izay voalamina avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena dia diman-jato amby enina arivo sy efatra alina.

Ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa: dia avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany, ary araka ny anarany tsirairay, hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, dia izay rehetra azo nalefa hanafika,

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.
Ireo no voalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ary ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy lehibe amin’ ny Isiraely, izay samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy.
Ary izay rehetra avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely araka ny fianakaviany, hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, dia izay rehetra azo nalefa hanafika avy amin’ ny Isiraely,
46 The total was 603,550 men.
dia dimam-polo amby dimam-jato sy telo arivo sy enina hetsy.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Fa ny Levita, araka ny fireneny kosa dia tsy mba nalamina ho isan’ ireo.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
Fa Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Ny firenen’ ny Levita ihany no aza alamina, ary aza mba alaina isa miaraka amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely;
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.
fa tendreo izy hitandrina ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona sy ny fanaka rehetra ary ny zavatra rehetra izay momba azy; fa izy no hitondra ny tabernakely sy ny zavatra rehetra momba azy sady hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao; ary manodidina ny tabernakely no hitobiany.
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.
Ary raha hafindra ny tabernakely, dia ny Levita no hangorona azy; ary raha haorina ny tabernakely, dia ny Levita no hanangana azy; fa raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
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.
Dia hitoby ny Zanak’ Isiraely, samy eo amin’ ny tobiny avy, ary samy eo amin’ ny fanevany ary, araka ny antokony.
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.”
Fa ny Levita kosa hitoby manodidina ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona, mba tsy hisy fahatezerana hahatratra ny fiangonan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ny Levita hitandrina ny anjara raharaha momba ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona.
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Dia nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataony.
