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,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo hono ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,
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.
“Mou lau ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo fakatatau mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo lau kotoa pē ʻi honau hingoa, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē taki taha;
Mei honau taʻu ʻe uofulu tupu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mālohi ke ʻalu atu ke tau ʻi ʻIsileli: ko koe mo ʻElone ke mo lau ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi matatau.
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.
Pea ʻe fakataha mo kimoua ha tangata ʻe tokotaha mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē; ko ia taki taha ʻoku ʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.”
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.”
Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe kau tangata ʻe tuʻu mo kimoua; ko ʻIlisua, ko e foha ʻo Setiua ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni:
Ko Selumieli, ko e foha ʻo Sulisatai ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.
Ko Nasoni, ko e foha ʻo ʻAminitapi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta.
Ko Netanili, ko e foha ʻo Sua ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsaka.
Ko ʻIliapi, ko e foha ʻo Heloni ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Sepuloni.
ʻI he fānau ʻa Siosefa: ko ʻIlisama, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmihuti ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi; ko Kāmelieli, ko e foha ʻo Petasuli ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Manase:
Ko ʻEpitani, ko e foha ʻo Kitione ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
Ko ʻEhiesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmisatai ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani.
Ko Pakieli, ko e foha ʻo ʻOkilani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAseli.
Ko ʻIliasafi, ko e foha ʻo Teuili ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
Ko Heila, ko e foha ʻo ʻEnani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali.
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.
Ko kinautolu ni naʻa nau ongoongo lahi ʻi he kakai, ko e houʻeiki ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻi ʻIsileli.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae kau tangata ni kuo fakahā honau hingoa:
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
Pea naʻa nau fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻo hono ua ʻoe māhina, pea naʻa nau fakahā honau hokohoko ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau mo e lau ʻoe ngaahi hingoa taki taha, mei hono uofulu tupu ʻoe taʻu ʻo fai hake.
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
ʻO hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene lau ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai.
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.
Ko kinautolu eni naʻe lau, ʻaia naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone, mo e houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua: naʻe taki taha tuʻu maʻae fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
Naʻe pehē ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mei hono taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mālohi ke ʻalu atu ke tau ʻi ʻIsileli;
46 The total was 603,550 men.
ʻIo, ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ko e toko ono kilu, mo e toko tolu afe, mo e toko nimangeau ma nimangofulu.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Ka naʻe ʻikai lau ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau Livai ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
He kuo folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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.
“ʻE ʻikai te ke lau ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke lau ʻakinautolu fakataha mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:
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.
Ka ke fakanofo ʻae kau Livai ke pule ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea tenau fua ʻae fale fehikitaki, pea mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē; pea tenau ngāue ki ai, ʻo nofo takatakai ki he fale fehikitaki.
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.
Pea ʻoka ʻalu atu ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻe vete hifo ia ʻe he kau Livai; pea ʻoka nofo ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he kau Livai: pea ko e muli ʻoku haʻu ke ofi[ki ai ]ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
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.
Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli tenau fokotuʻu ʻa honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono ʻapitanga, pea mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fuka, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
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.”
Ka ʻe nofo ʻae kau Livai ʻo takatakai ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha houhau ki he fakataha ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ʻe tokanga ʻae kau Livai ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fekau mai ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese; naʻe pehē pe ʻenau fai.
