< Numbers 2 >

1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
LEUM GOD El fahkang oakwuk inge nu sel Moses ac Aaron.
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.
Ke pacl mwet Israel uh aktuktuk uh, kais sie mwet fah muta ye flag lun sruf lal, ac ke mwe akul lun sou lal. Lohm nuknuk nukewa ac fah tulokyak rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
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.
Elos su tulokinya nien aktuktuk selos layen kutulap, yen faht uh takak we, ac fah mwet ye flag lun u lulap lal Judah, ke kais sie u lalos. Mwet kol lun u tolu uh pa takla ten inge: Sruf Mwet Kol Pisalos Judah Nahshon wen natul Amminadab 74,600 Issachar Nethanel wen natul Zuar 54,400 Zebulun Eliab wen natul Helon 57,400 Pisa lulap: mukul siofok oalngoul onkosr tausin ac angfoko. U lulap lal Judah inge pa ac fahsr meet uh.

5 Nethanel, the son of Zuar, will be the leader of the 54,500 men of the tribe of Issachar.
6
7 Eliab, the son of Helon, will be the leader of the 57,400 men of the tribe of Zebulun.
8
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.
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.
Nu layen nu eir, elos su wi muta ye flag lun u lulap lal Reuben fah mutangan aktuktuk in u tolu lalos, ye koko lun mwet kol lalos inge: Sruf Mwet Kol Pisalos Reuben Elizur wen natul Shedur 46,500 Simeon Shelumiel wen natul Zurishaddai 59,300 Gad Eliasaph wen natul Deuel 45,650 Pisa lulap: mukul tausin siofok lumngaul sie ac angfoko lumngaul. U lulap lal Reuben pa ac fahsr akluo uh.
12 Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, will be the leader of the 59,300 men of the tribe of Simeon.
14 Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, will be the leader of the 45,650 men of the tribe of Gad.
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].
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.
Na, inmasrlon u lulap luo meet ac u lulap luo tok ah, mwet Levi in fahsr us Lohm Nuknuk Mutal uh. Kais sie u ac fah fahsr fal nu ke takinyen mutangalos. Elos nukewa fah fahsr in u lalos ye flag lalos.
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.
Nu layen nu roto, elos su wi muta ye flag lun u lulap lal Ephraim fah mutangan aktuktuk in u tolu lalos, ye koko lun mwet kol lalos inge: Sruf Mwet Kol Pisalos Ephraim Elishama wen natul Ammihud 40,500 Manasseh Gamaliel wen natul Pedahzur 32,200 Benjamin Abidan wen natul Gideoni 35,400 Pisa lulap: mukul siofok oalkosr tausin ac siofok. U lulap lal Ephraim pa ac fahsr aktolu uh.
20 Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, will be the leader of the 32,200 men of the tribe of Manasseh.
22 Abidan, the son of Gideoni, will be the leader of the 35,400 men of the tribe of Benjamin.
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].
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.
Nu layen nu epang, elos su wi muta ye flag lun u lulap lal Dan fah mutangan aktuktuk in u tolu lalos, ye koko lun mwet kol lalos inge: Sruf Mwet Kol Pisalos Dan Ahiezer wen natul Ammishaddai 62,700 Asher Pagiel wen natul Ochran 41,500 Naphtali Ahira wen natul Enan 53,400 Pisa lulap: mukul siofok lumngaul itkosr tausin ac onfoko. U lulap lal Dan pa ac fahsr oetok uh.
27 Pagiel, the son of Ocran, will be the leader of the 41,500 men of the tribe of Asher.
29 Ahira, the son of Enan, will be the leader of the 53,400 men of the tribe of Naphtali.
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.”
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
Pa inge pisen mwet Israel nukewa ke oaoala tari kais sie u: oasr mwet onfoko tolu tausin lumfoko lumngaul.
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses, mwet Levi uh tia wi oaoala lun mwet Israel uh.
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.
Mwet Israel elos oru ma nukewa oana LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses. Elos mutangan aktuktuk ye flag lalos, ac ke elos mukuiyak elos fahsr fal nu ke takinyen sou lun papa tumalos.
