Numbers 2
1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 “When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
“Aisraeli azimanga misasa yawo mozungulira tenti ya msonkhano motalikira pangʼono. Munthu aliyense amange pamene pali mbendera ya fuko lake.”
3 The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
Kummawa, kotulukira dzuwa, magulu a msasa wa Yuda amange pamene pali mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wa Ayudawo ndi Naasoni mwana wa Aminadabu.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 74,600.
5 Nethanel, the son of Zuar, will be the leader of the 54,500 men of the tribe of Issachar.
Fuko la Isakara lidzamanga pafupi ndi Yuda. Mtsogoleri wa gulu la Isakara ndi Netanieli mwana wa Zuwara.

7 Eliab, the son of Helon, will be the leader of the 57,400 men of the tribe of Zebulun.
Lotsatira lidzakhala fuko la Zebuloni. Mtsogoleri wa gulu la Zebuloni ndi Eliabu mwana wa Heloni.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 57,400.
9 So there will be 86,400 troops on the east side [of the Sacred Tent]. Whenever the Israelis move to a new location, those three tribes must go in front of the others.
Anthu onse aamuna mʼmisasa ya Yuda, chiwerengero chawo ndi 186,400 monga mwa magulu awo. Iwowo ndiwo aziyamba kusamuka.
10 The tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad must set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, will be the leader of the 46,500 men of the tribe of Reuben.
Kummwera kudzakhala magulu a msasa wa Rubeni pamene pali mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wa gulu la Rubeni ndi Elizuri mwana wa Sedeuri.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 46,500.
12 Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, will be the leader of the 59,300 men of the tribe of Simeon.

Lotsatira lidzakhala fuko la Gadi. Mtsogoleri wa gulu la Gadi ndi Eliyasafu mwana wa Deuweli.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 45,650.
16 So there will be 151,450 troops on the south side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the first group [when the Israelis travel].
Anthu onse aamuna mu msasa wa Rubeni, chiwerengero chawo monga mwa magulu awo, ndi 151,450. Iwowo azikhala achiwiri posamuka.
17 Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.
Tsono tenti ya msonkhano ndi msasa wa Alevi zidzakhala pakati pa misasayo. Iwo adzasamuka monga momwe anamangira misasa yawo, aliyense pa malo ake pamene pali mbendera yake.
18 The tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin must set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and number of men whom they will lead: Elishama, the son of Ammihud, will be the leader of the 40,500 men of the tribe of Ephraim.
Kumadzulo kudzakhala magulu a msasa wa Efereimu pamene pali mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wa Aefereimuwo ndi Elisama mwana wa Amihudi.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 40,500.

Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 32,200.

Lotsatira lidzakhala fuko la Benjamini. Mtsogoleri wa Abenjamini ndi Abidani mwana wa Gideoni.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 35,400.
24 So there will be 108,100 troops on the west side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the second group, [behind the descendants of Levi].
Anthu onse aamuna mu msasa wa Efereimu, chiwerengero chawo ndi 108,100 monga mwa magulu awo. Iwowo azikhala achitatu posamuka.
25 The tribes of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali must set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, will be the leader of the 62,700 men of the tribe of Dan.

Lotsatira lidzakhala fuko la Nafutali. Mtsogoleri wa Anafutali ndi Ahira mwana wa Enani.
Chiwerengero cha gulu lake lankhondo ndi 53,400.
31 So there will be 157,600 troops on the north side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will be last. They must carry their own flags when the Israelis travel.”
Anthu onse aamuna mu msasa wa Dani chiwerengero chawo ndi 157,600. Iwo azidzanyamuka pomaliza, ndi mbendera zawo.
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
Amenewa ndi Aisraeli monga mwa mabanja a makolo awo. Chiwerengero cha Aisraeli onse mʼmisasa chinali 603,550, mwa magulu awo.
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
Koma Alevi sanawawerenge pamodzi ndi Aisraeli enawo monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
34 The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
Choncho Aisraeli anachita zonse zomwe Yehova analamulira Mose. Umo ndi momwe amamangira misasa yawo pamene panali mbendera zawo, ndipo ankasamuka monga mwa mafuko a makolo awo.
