< 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.
Ama'i Mosesene, Aronikizni naga'mokizmi naneke, Ra Anumzamo Sainai agonafi Mosese asamigeno krente'nea naneke.
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Ama Aroni ne'mofavre'mokizmi zamagi'e, Agonesa'a Nadabuki, Abihuki, Eliesaki, Itamari'e.
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
Anantera Aroni ne'mofavre zamagi eri otage huno huhampri zamantege'za, Ra Anumzamofo avufi veamokizmire te vugote'za mani'ne'za pristi eri'za eri'naze.
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.
Hianagi Nadabu'ene Abihukea Ra Anumzamofo avuga agra ragisa teve i'o hu'nea teve hegre amiteke, Sainai hagage mopafi zanagra mofavrea onte'neke Ra Anumzamofo avuga fri'na'e. Hakeno Eliesa'ene Itamarikea, Aroni pristia mani'negene neznafa azahuke maka zupa pristi eri'zana eri'na'e.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Ra Anumzamo Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne,
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
Livae nagara zamavarenka pristi ne' Aroninte egofa huge'za, aza hu'za mono eri'zana eriho.
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
Zamagra eri'zama hantagi zami'nere Aroni eri'zane, veamokizmi eri'zane eneri'za, seli mono nomofo fegi'a eri'zanena erigahaze.
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
Seli mono nomofo agu'afima me'nea maka'zana kegava nehu'za, Israeli vahe'mokizmi eri'za eri nezmante'za, seli mono nompima hantagi zami'nea eri'zana erigahaze.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
Hanki kagra Livae nagara Aronine amohe'ine zami vagarenka Israeli vahepintira zamige'za eri'zana eriho.
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.”
Hagi kagra Aronine ne'mofavre naga'anena huhampri zamantege'za pristi eri'zana eriho. Hagi huhampri onte'nesia vahe'ma seli mono nonte eravao hanazana zamahe frigahaze.
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Ra Anumzamo mago'ene Mosesena anage huno asami'ne,
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,
Menina ko, Nagra Israeli vahepinti Livae nagara agonesa ne'mofavre'gna hu'na zamavarena Nagrarega zamantoge'za nagri vahe fatgo mani'naze.
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.”
Na'ankure maka'a pusa ne'mofavrea Nagri zane, Isipi mopafi pusa ne'mofavre zamahe fri'noa zupa, Nagra su'zane hu'na pusa ne'mofavre Israeli vahepi fore haniane, zagagafanena huhampri'noe. Maka Nagri zane, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
Anante Ra Anumzamo Sainai ka'ma mopafi Mosesena anage huno asami'ne,
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.”
Levai ne'mofavre nagara nagate famote, maka venene mago ikanteti marerinesima'a hamprinka zamagia krento.
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
Higeno Ra Anumzamo asmia kante anteno Mosese'a venene'a zamagia kreno eri fatgo hu'ne.
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Ama'i Livae ne'mofavre naga zamagie, Gersoni'e, Kohati'e, Merari'e.
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
Ama'i Gersoni ne'mofavre naga nofipintira Libnike, Simeike,
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.
Kohati ne'mofavre naga'nofipintira Amramu'e, Izhari'e, Hebroni'e, Usieli'e.
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.
Merari naga nofipintira Malike, Musike. Livae nofipinti fore hu'naza naga nofi mani'naze.
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
Hagi Gersonimpinti fore hu'naza nagara Libni naga'ene, Simei naga'enemo'za, zamagra Gersoni vahere hu'za mani'naze.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
Makama hampri'nazana venenema, mago ikanteti mreri anagate'neana, maka seven tausen 500'a vene'ne.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
Gersoni vahe'mo'za zamagra seli mono nomofo amefiga'a zage fre kaziga seli nonkumara ante'za manigahaze.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Hagi Gersoni naga'mokizmi kvazamia Laeli ne'mofo Eleasafi manigahie.
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,
Hagi Gersoni ne'mofavremokizmi eri'za kankamuna amana hu'ne, seli nomofo agu'afine, seli noma refimate'zane, kafa zafare refite'nea tvaravene, kegava hu'neza erigahaze.
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.
Vahe atru hu kumapi, megi'a ruvanre'naza tvaravene, kahante seli nompi renentaza tvaravene, kresramna vu itare avuga me'nea tvaravene, nofitamine, agima hentea zama'a zamagrake kegava hu'neza erigahaze.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Hagi Kohati naga nofipintira, Amramu nagaki, Ishara nagaki, Hebroni nagaki, Usiel nagaki,
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.
ana maka vene'ne mago ikanteti mareri anagate'nea hampri'nazana, 8tausen 600'a vahe'mo'za hunagru hunte tva'oma'arera kegava hu'neza eri'zana erigahaze.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Kohati nagapinti fore hu'naza naga'mo'za, seli mono nomofo sauti kaziga seli nonkumara ante'za manigahaze.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Hagi Kohati nagapintima kvaza erino kegava huzmante'neana, Uzieli nemofo Elizafani'e.
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.
Eri'zama erisazana amanahu hu'za erigahaze, huhagerafi huvempage vogisine, teboline, tevi rekru hunte zotane, Kresramana vu itaramine, kresramna vu eri'za zantamima kazima, kavoma, sipunima, foku'ma, zompama (utensils), nagru hu'nea agu'afi me'nea zantamine, tvaravene kema huntea zama'a kegava hugahaze.
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.
Hagi Pristi ne' Aroni nemofo Eleasa vugoteno Levai nagate kva mani'neno, seli mono nomofo agu'afi eri'zana kegava huzmante'ne.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
Merari naga'ene Musa naga'enena, zamagra Merari nagare hu'za mani'naze.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
Hagi hampri'ma zamante'nazana, mago ikanteti mreri anagate'nea vene'nea 6 tausen 200ti'e.
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.
Merari nagama kegava huzmante'neana, Abihail nemofo Zulieli'e. Zamagra seli mono nomofona noti kaziga kuma ante'za manigahaze.
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.
Hagi Merari naga'mokizmi eri'zana, seli mono nomofo reharere zafarmine, arunkre hu zafagi, antani kantugma hu' zafarmine, azeri hanaveti zafane, eriza'zane kegava hu'neza eri'zama zami'nare eri'naze.
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].
Hagi agu'afinka megagi'nea posi zafarmine, no azeri hanaveti zafarmine, seli no avazu huno nofi ome rentere hania azotaramine, nofi'ma rente'zantamine kegava hugahaze.
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].
Hanki zage hanati kaziga seli mono nomofo avuga'a kuma ante'za mani'naza nagara, Moseseki, Aroniki, ne'mofavre naga'zniane mani'neza, hunagruma hu'nea nomofo agu'afina Israeli vahe'mokizmigu hu'za eri'zana eri nezmante'za mani'naze. Hagi huhampri ozmante vahe'ma ana tva'onte esnimofona ahe frigahaze.
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.
Livae naga'ma Ra Anumzamo Mosese'ne Aronigizni znasmi'nea kasegere amage ante'ne, mago ikanteti mareri anagate'nea naganofiteti, ese agonesa mofavre nona huke hamprina'ana maka 22 tauseni'a vene'ne.
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.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne, Israeli vahepi pusa ne'mofavre fore hanigeno mago ikanteti mareri anagate'nesiana, erigafa hunka zamagi'a krento.
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.”
Israeli vahe'mofo ese agonesa mofavrema avregazana netrenka Livae nagara zamavare namio, Nagra Ra Anumzane, Livae vahe'mofo bulimakao afuzmimo'ma pusama antesia anentara, Israeli nagamokizmi pusa bulimakamofo nona hugahie.
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
Ana higeno Israeli vahe'mokizmi maka pusa ne'mofavre'a Ra Anumzamo asmi'nea kante anteno Mosese'a hampri'ne.
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
Pusa ne'mofavre mago ika agatereno mareri anaga te'nea naga zamagi eri'neana, 22 tausen, 273'a vene'ne.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asami'ne,
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.
Israeli vahepintira pusa ne' mofavre'mokizmi nona hunka, Livae vahera nezmavrenka, Israeli vahe agonesa bilimakao nona hunka Livae naga bulimakaone erio. Huge'za Livae vahera zamagra Nagri naga manigahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzane.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
Hagi 273'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi pusa ne'mofavre'moza, Livae naga'ma zamagtere'nare miza segahaze.
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.”
Seli mono nomofo zagomofo kna'a avamente kagra 5fu'a silva zago magoke magoke vahetera eritere hugahane.
Livae naga zamagtere'naza nona huta miza sezmante zago, Aronine ne'mofavre'ane zamio.
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Higeno Mosese'a zagoa zogino Israeli vahe'mokizmi pusa ne'mofavre'mokizmi nona huno Livae naga nona huno miza sezmante'ne.
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.
Pusa ne'mofavre Israeli vahepinti fore'ma hu'naza nagapintira Mosese'a 1tausen, 365'a silva zagoa erino, hunagru hu'nea seli mono nomofo kna'amo hu'nea avamente ana zago'a zogite'no
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
Mosese'a ana zagoma mizama sezmantesia zagoa erino Aroni'ne, ne'mofavre naga'a Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea kante erino zamazampi ome ante'ne.
