< Numbers 3 >

1 These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
EIA hoi na hanauna o Aarona laua o Mose, i ka la a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose ma ka mauna o Sinai.
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Eia hoi na inoa o na keiki a Aarona; o Nadaba ka hiapo, o Abihu, o Eleazara, a o Itamara.
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
Oia na inoa o na keiki a Aarona, na kahuna i poniia, ana i hoolaa ai e lawelawe ma ka oihana kahuna.
4 But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
A make iho la o Nadaba laua o Abihu imua o Iehova, ia laua i kaumaha aku ai i ke ahi e imua o Iehova ma ka waonahele o Sinai, aole hoi a laua keiki: a lawelawe aku la o Eleazara laua o Itamara ma ka oihana kahuna imua o na maka o Aarona o ko laua makuakane.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose i mai la,
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
E hooneenee mai i ka ohana a Levi a kokoke, a e hoonoho ia lakou inula o Aarona ke kahuna, i lawelawe lakou nana.
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
Na lakou e malama i kana oihana, a me ka ke anainakanaka a pau ma ke alo o ka halelewa o ke anaina, e lawelawe i na mea o ka halelewa.
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
Na lakou e malama i na mea hana a pau o ka halelewa o ke anaina, a me ka hana a na mamo a Iseraela, e hana'i i ka oihana o ka halelewa.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
E haawi ae oe i na Levi no Aarona a no kana mau keiki: ua haawiia lakou a lilo loa nona, noloko o ka Iseraela.
10 Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
E kauoha aku oe ia Aarona a me kana mau keiki, a e lawelawe lakou ma ka ke kahuna oihana; a o ke kanaka e ke hele mai a kokoke, e make ia.
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
12 “Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
Owau nei hoi, ua hookaawale ae nei au i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, i pauai no na hiapo a pau i hanau mua o na mamo a Iseraela; no ia mea, no'u no na Levi.
13 because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
No ka mea, no'u no na makahiapo a pau: i ka la a'u i luku ai i na makahiapo a pau ma ka aina o Aigupita, hoolaa iho la hoi au no'u i na makahiapo ma ka Iseraela, i ka na kanaka a me ka na holoholona; no'u no lakou; owau no Iehova.
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma ka waonahele o Sinai, i mai la,
15 “Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
E helu oe i na mamo o Levi mamuli o ko ka hale a ko lakou poe kupuna, ma ko lakou mau ohana: o na kane a pau mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku kau e helu aku ai.
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
A helu iho la o Mose ia lakou mamuli o ka olelo a Iehoia, e like me ia i kauohaia mai ai
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Eia hoi na keiki a Levi ma ko lakou mau inoa; o Geresona, o Kohata, a o Merari.
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
A eia na inoa o na keiki a Geresona, ma ka laua mau ohana; o Libeni a o Simei.
19 Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
Eia hoi na keiki a Kohata ma ka lakou mau ohana; o Amerama, o Izehara, o Heberona a o Uziela.
20 Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
A o na keiki a Merari, ma ka laua mau ohana; o Maheli a o Musi: oia na ohana o na Levi, ma ko ka hale o ko lakou poe kupuna.
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
Na Geresona Ka ohana o na Libeni a me na Simei: oia na ohana o na keiki a Geresona.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
O ko lakou poe i heluia ma ka helu ana i na kane a pau, mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku, o ka poe o lakou i heluia, he ehiku tausani a me na haneri keu elima.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
A e hoomoana na ohana o ka Geresona mahope o ka halelewa ma ka aoao komohana.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
A o ka luna ohana o ke kupuna o ka Geresona, oia o Eliasapa ke keiki a Laeia.
25 Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
O ka mea a na mamo a Geresona e malama ai ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, oia o ka halelewa maloko, ka halelole a me ka mea uhi maluna, a me ka paku no ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina,
26 the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
A me na paku o ka pa, a me ka pale no ka puka o ka pa, ka mea e pili ana ma ka halelewa a ma ke kuahu a puni, a me kona mau kaula no na oihana a pau ona.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Na Kohata ka ohana o ka Amerama, me ka ohana o ka Izehara, a me ka ohana o ka Heberona, a me ka ohana o ka Uziela; oia na ohana o ka Kohata.
28 In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
I ka helu ana i na kane a pau mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku, he ewalu tausani a me na haneri keu eono, e malama ana i na mea o kahi hoano.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
E hoomoana na ohana a na keiki a Kohata ma ka aoao hema o ka halelewa.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
A o ka luna o ka ohana kupuna o na ohana o ka Kohata, oia o Elizapana ke keiki a Uziela.
31 The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
O ka lakou mea e malama ai, oia ka pahu, ka papaaina, ka ipukukui, na kuahu, a me na ipu o ke keenakapu, na mea a lakou e lawelawe ai, a me ka pale a me kana oihana a pau.
32 Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
A o Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, oia ka luna maluna o ka luna o na Levi, a e nana aku ia maluna o ka poe malama i ka oihana o ke keenakapu.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
Na Merari ka ohana o ka Maheli a me ka ohana o ka Musi: oia na ohana na Merari.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
O na mea o lakou i heluia, ma ka helu ana i na kane a pau, mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku, eono ia tausani a me na haneri keu elua.
35 They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
A o ka luna o ko ka hale o ka makua nana na ohana o Merari, oia o Zuriela ke keiki a Abihaila: e hoomoana lakou ma ka aoao akau o ka halelewa.
36 The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
A o ka oihana malama a na keiki a Merari, oia na papa o ka halelewa, me kona mau kaola, a me kona mau pou, a me kona mau kumu, a me kona mau ipu, a me ka oihana a pau ilaila,
37 Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
A me na pau o ka pa a puni, a me ko lakou mau kumu, a me ko lakou mau makia, a me ko lakou mau kaula.
38 Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
Aka, o ka poe hoomoana ma ke alo o ka halelewa, ma ka aoao hikina, imua o ka halelewa anaina ma ka hikina, oia o Mose a me Aarona a me kana mau keiki, i mea e malama ai i ke keenakapu, no ka oihana a na mamo a Iseraela: a o ke kanaka e ke hele mai a kokoke, e make no ia.
39 When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
O na Levi a pau i heluia, a Mose laua o Aarona i helu ai mamuli o ke kauoha ana mai a Iehova, ma na ohana o lakou; o na kane a pau mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani.
40 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E helu oe i na makahiapo kane a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka malama hookahi a keu aku, a e helu hoi i na inoa o lakou.
41 Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
E lawe oe i na Levi no'u, (owau no Iehova, ) i panai no na hiapo a pau iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela; a i na holoholona o ka Levi i panai no na holoholona hiapo o na mamo a Iseraela.
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
A helu aku la o Mose i na makahiapo a pau iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
O na makahiapo kane a pau, ma ka helu ana i na inoa, o ka poe o lakou i heluia mai ka malama hookahi a keu aku, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani, me na haneri elua a me ke kanahikukumamakolu.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
45 “Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
E lawe oe i na Levi i panai no na makahiapo a pau iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, a me na holoholona o na Levi i panai no ko lakou poe holoholona, a no'u no na Levi: owau no Iehova.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
A no ka poe e panaiia he elua haneri me kanahikukumamakolu o na hiapo o na mamo a Iseraela, ka i oi mamua o na Levi,
47 To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
E auhau aku oe i na sekela elima no ke poo hookahi; ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu kau e auhau aku ai: (he iwakalua gera, hookahi ia sekela: )
A e haawi aku oe i ke kala a ka poe keu o lakou i panaiia'i, ia Aarona a me kana mau keikikane.
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Lawe ae la o Mose i ke kala panai a ka poe i koe o na mea i panaiia e na Levi.
50 The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
Lawe ae la oia i ke kala a na hiapo o na mamo a Iseraela; hookahi tausani, ekolu haneri me kanaonokumamalima na sekela, ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu.
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
A haawi aku la o Mose i ke kala a ka poe i panaiia, ia Aarona a me kana mau keikikane, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, me ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
