Numbers 2
1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Bwana aliwaambia Mose na Aroni:
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.
“Waisraeli watapiga kambi zao kuzunguka Hema la Kukutania kwa umbali fulani kutoka kwenye hema, kila mwanaume chini ya alama yake pamoja na bendera ya jamaa yake.”
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.
Kwa upande wa mashariki kuelekea mawio ya jua, kambi ya makundi ya Yuda watapiga kambi chini ya alama yao. Kiongozi wa watu wa Yuda ni Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu.
Kundi lake lina watu 74,600.

Kabila la Zabuloni litafuata. Kiongozi wa watu wa Zabuloni ni Eliabu mwana wa Heloni.
Kundi lake lina watu 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.
Wanaume wote walio katika kambi ya Yuda, kufuatana na makundi yao, ni 186,400. Wao watatangulia kuondoka.
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.
Kwa upande wa kusini kutakuwa kambi ya makundi ya Reubeni chini ya alama yao. Kiongozi wa watu wa Reubeni ni Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri.
Kundi lake lina watu 46,500.

Kundi lake lina watu 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].
Wanaume wote walio katika kambi ya Reubeni, kufuatana na makundi yao, ni 151,450. Nao watakuwa nafasi ya pili kuondoka.
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.
Kisha Hema la Kukutania na kambi ya Walawi vitakuwa katikati ya kambi zote. Wao watasafiri kwa utaratibu ule ule kama walivyopiga kambi, kila mmoja mahali pake mwenyewe chini ya alama 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.
Upande wa magharibi kutakuwepo na kambi ya makundi ya Efraimu chini ya alama yao. Kiongozi wa watu wa Efraimu ni Elishama mwana wa Amihudi.
Kundi lake lina watu 40,500.

Kabila la Benyamini litafuata baada ya Manase. Kiongozi wa watu wa Benyamini ni Abidani mwana wa Gideoni.
Kundi lake lina watu 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].
Wanaume wote walio katika kambi ya Efraimu kufuatana na makundi yao ni 108,100. Nao watakuwa nafasi ya tatu kuondoka.
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.
Upande wa kaskazini kutakuwa na makundi ya kambi ya Dani, chini ya alama yao. Kiongozi wa watu wa Dani ni Ahiezeri mwana wa Amishadai.
Kundi lake lina watu 62,700.

Kundi lake lina watu 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.”
Wanaume wote walio katika kambi ya Dani ni 157,600. Wao watakuwa wa mwisho kuondoka chini ya alama yao.
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
Hawa ndio Waisraeli, wakiwa wamehesabiwa kufuatana na jamaa zao. Wote walio kambini kwa makundi yao ni watu 603,550.
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
Hata hivyo, Walawi hawakuhesabiwa pamoja na Waisraeli wengine, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza 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.
Kwa hiyo Waisraeli wakafanya kila kitu Bwana alichomwamuru Mose. Hivyo ndivyo walivyopiga kambi chini ya alama zao, pia hivyo ndivyo walivyoondoka, kila mmoja akiwa na ukoo wake na jamaa yake.
