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.
Na ko nga whakatupuranga ano hoki enei a Arona raua ko Mohi i te ra i korero ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi i Maunga Hinai.
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Ko nga ingoa hoki enei o nga tama a Arona: ko Natapa, ko te matamua, ratou ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara.
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Arona, o nga tohunga i whakawahia, i whakatohungatia nei e ia hei tohunga,
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.
I mate hoki a Natapa raua ko Apihu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i ta raua whakaherenga i te ahi ke ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te koraha o Hinai, kahore ano hoki a raua tamariki: a i mahi a Ereatara raua ko Itamara i nga mahi a te tohunga i te tirohanga ma i a to raua papa, a Arona.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
Whakatataia mai te iwi o Riwai, whakaturia hoki ki te aroaro o Arona tohunga, kia mahi aia ratou ki a ia.
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
A ma ratou e tiaki nga mea hei tiakanga mana, hei tiakanga hoki ma te whakaminenga katoa, ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, e mahi hoki nga mahi o te tapenakara.
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
Ma ratou ano e tiaki nga mea katoa o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga mea hei tiakanga ma nga tama a Iharaira, kia mahi ai hoki nga mahi o te tapenakara.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
A me hoatu e koe nga Riwaiti ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama: e hoatutia katoatia ana ratou ki a ia mo nga tama a Iharaira.
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.”
Me whakarite ano e koe a Arona ratou ko ana tama, a ka u ratou ki ta ratou mahi tohunga: ko te tangata ke e whakatata mai ka whakamatea.
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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,
Ko ahau nei, nana, kua tango ahau i nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira hei utu mo nga matamua katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: maku hoki nga Riwaiti;
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 te mea, naku nga matamua katoa; no te ra ano i patu ai ahau i nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i nga matamua katoa a Iharaira maku, i a te tangata, i a te kararehe: maku era: ko Ihowa ahau.
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i te koraha o Hinai, i mea,
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.”
Taua nga tama a Riwai, tenei whare, tenei whare o o ratou matua, tenei hapu, tenei hapu o ratou: me tatau ratou e koe, nga tane katoa kotahi nei te marama, ahu atu.
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
Na ka taua ratou e Mohi ka peratia me ta Ihowa i ki ai, i whakahau ai.
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
A ko nga tama enei a Riwai me o ratou ingoa; ko Kerehona, ko Kohata, ko 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 ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Kerehona, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou; ko Ripini raua ko Himei.
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.
Me nga tama a Kohata, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou; ko Amarama, ko Itihara, ko Heperona, ko Utiere.
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.
Me nga tama a Merari, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou: ko Mahari, ko Muhi. Ko nga hapu enei o nga Riwaiti, o tenei whare, o tenei whare o o ratou matua.
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
Na Kerehona te hapu o nga Ripini, me te hapu o nga Himei: ko nga hapu enei o nga Kerehoni.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
Ko nga mea o ratou i taua, ko te tokomaha o nga tane katoa, kotahi nei te marama ahu atu, ko nga mea o ratou i taua e whitu mano e rima rau.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
Hei muri i te tapenakara, hei te taha ki te hauauru, te puni o nga Kerehoni.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Ko Eriahapa hoki, ko te tama a Raere, hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga Kerehoni.
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,
A, ko ta nga tama a Kerehona e tiaki ai i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ko te tapenakara, ko te teneti, me tona hipoki, ko te pa o te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga,
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.
Me nga pa o te marae, me te pa o te whatitoka o te marae, o tera i te tapenakara, i te aata hoki a tawhio noa, me ona aho hoki mo ona meatanga katoa.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Na Kohata hoki te hapu o nga Amarami, me te hapu o nga Itihari, me te hapu o nga Heperoni, me te hapu o nga Utieri: ko ng hapu enei o nga Kohati.
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.
Ko te tokomaha o nga tana katoa, kotahi nei te marama, ahu atu, e waru mano e ono rau, ko ratou nga kaitiaki o te wahi tapu.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Hei te taha whaka te tonga o te tapenakara he puni mo nga hapu o nga tama a Kohata.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
A ko Eritapana, tama a Utiere, hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga hapu o nga Kohati.
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.
A, ko ta ratou e tiaki ai ko te aaka, ko te tepu, ko te turanga rama, ko nga aata, ko nga oko o te whai tapu, ara ko nga mea e minita ai ratou, me te pa arai, me nga mea katoa o ena mahinga.
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 ko Ereatara tama a Arona tohunga hei ariki mo nga ariki o nga Riwaiti, mana hoki e tirotiro nga kaitiaki e tiaki ana i te wahi tapu.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
Na Merari te hapu o nga Mahari, me te hapu o nga Muhi: ko nga hapu enei o Merari.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
A, ko nga mea o ratou i taua, ko te tokomaha o nga tane katoa, kotahi nei te marama ahu atu, e ono mano e rua rau.
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 ko Turiere, ko te tama a Apihaira hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga hapu o Merari: hei te taha ki te raki o te tapenakara he puni mo enei.
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.
Ko ta nga tama hoki a Merari e tupato ai, e tiaki ai, ko nga papa o te tapenakara, me ona kaho, me ona pou, me nga turanga pou, me nga mea katoa o aua mea, me nga mea katoa o ena mahinga;
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].
Me nga pou o te marae a tawhio noa, me nga turanga, me nga titi, me nga aho.
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].
A ko enei e noho ki mua i te tapenakara, ki te rawhiti, ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te putanga mai o te ra, ko Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko ana tama, hei tiaki i te wahi tapu, i nga mea hei tiakanga ma nga tama a Iharaira; a, ko te t angata ke e whakatata mai, ka whakamatea.
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.
Ko nga Riwaiti katoa i taua, ko era i taua ra e Mohi raua ko Arona, i ta Ihowa whakahau, i o ratou hapu, ko nga tane katoa kotahi nei te marama ahu atu, e rua tekau ma rua mano.
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.
A i mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Taua nga tane matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga mea kotahi nei te marama, me nga mea i maha atu, tuhituhia hoki te maha o o ratou ingoa.
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.”
A me tango nga Riwaiti maku; ko Ihowa ahau; hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira; me nga kararehe a nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa i roto i nga kararehe o nga tama a Iharaira.
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
Na ka taua e Mohi, ka peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia, nga matamua katoa i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
A, ko nga tane matamua katoa, ko te maha o nga ingoa, kotahi nei te marama a ahu atu, ko nga mea o ratou i taua, e rua tekau ma rua mano e rua rau e whitu tekau ma toru.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Tangohia nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga tane matamua katoa i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, me nga kararehe a nga Riwaiti hei utu mo a ratou kararehe; a maku nga Riwaiti: ko Ihowa ahau.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
Na, hei whakahoki atu, hei utu mo te rua rau e whitu tekau ma toru, mo nga matamua o nga tama a Iharaira i hira ake i te tokomaha o nga Riwaiti;
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.”
Me tango e koe kia rima hekere mo tenei pane, mo tenei pane; kia rite ki te hekere o te wahi tapu au e tango ai: e rua tekau nga kera o te hekere kotahi:
Me hoatu te moni e utua ai nga tuhene o ratou ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama.
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Na ka tango a Mohi i te moni whakahoki i nga tangata i hira ake i era i utua ki nga Riwaiti:
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.
I tangohia e ia te moni i nga matamua a nga tama a Iharaira; kotahi mano e toru rau e ono tekau ma rima hekere; he pera me te hekere o te wahi tapu:
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
A i hoatu e Mohi te moni a te hunga i utua ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, i pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
