Numbers 7
1 When Moses/I had finished setting up the Sacred Tent, he/I dedicated [MTY] it to Yahweh. He/I also dedicated the things that are inside the tent, and the altar [for burning sacrifices], and all the things that would be used at the altar.
Esi Mose wu agbadɔ la tutu nu la, esi ami nɛ, eye wòkɔ eya kple eŋunuwo katã ŋuti. Esi ami na vɔsamlekpui la hã, kɔ eŋuti kple eŋunuwo katã ŋuti.
2 Then the leaders of the [twelve] Israeli tribes, the same men who had [helped Aaron and Moses/me to] count the men [who could fight in battles],
Israel ƒe kplɔlawo, ƒometatɔ, ame siwo nye kplɔlawo kple dzikpɔlawo na ame siwo woxlẽ la wɔ nunanawo.
3 came to the tent, bringing gifts to Yahweh. They brought six sturdy/large carts and twelve oxen, one ox from each of the leaders and a cart from each of the two leaders.
Wotsɔ woƒe nunanawo vɛ na Yehowa le tasiaɖam ade siwo dzi wotsyɔ nui la me. Nyitsu eve he tasiaɖam ɖe sia ɖe. Wotsɔ tasiaɖam ɖeka na kplɔla eve, nyitsu ɖeka na kplɔla ɖe sia ɖe, eye wotsɔ wo na Yehowa le Agbadɔ la ŋgɔ.
4 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
5 “Accept these gifts, in order that the descendants of Levi can use them for carrying the sacred items that are here at the Sacred Tent.”
“Xɔ woƒe nu siawo be woatsɔ wo awɔ agbadɔ la ŋuti dɔwoe. Tsɔ wo na Levi ƒe viwo abe ale si ame sia ame ƒe dɔ hiã lae ene.”
6 So Moses/I took the carts and oxen and gave them to the descendants of Levi.
Ale Mose tsɔ tasiaɖamwo kple nyitsuawo na Levi ƒe viwo.
7 He/I gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon for their work,
Etsɔ tasiaɖam eve kple nyitsu ene na Gerson ƒe viwo,
8 and he/I gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari for their work. Aaron’s son Ithamar was the supervisor of all their work.
eye wòtsɔ tasiaɖam ene kple nyitsu enyi na Merari ƒe viwo, ame siwo nɔ Itamar, nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
9 But he/I did not give any carts or oxen to the descendants of Kohath, because they took care of the sacred items that were to be carried on their shoulders, [not on carts].
Wometsɔ tasiaɖamuawo kple nyitsuawo dometɔ aɖeke na Kohat ƒe viwo o, elabena woƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakɔ agbadɔ la ƒe akpa siwo woakɔ la ɖe abɔta.
10 On the day that the altar was dedicated [MTY], the [twelve] leaders brought other gifts to be dedicated and put them in front of the altar.
Kplɔlawo hã na nunanawo ɖe nuŋukɔkɔ la ta le gbe si gbe wosi ami na vɔsamlekpui la. Woda nunanawo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ.
11 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Each of the next twelve days one leader should bring his gifts for the dedication of the altar.”
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Mina ameawo natsɔ woƒe nunanawo vɛ le ŋkeke vovovowo dzi hena vɔsamlekpui la ŋu kɔkɔ.”
12 These are the gifts that each of the leaders brought: —a silver dish that weighed (more than three pounds/1.5 kg.), and a silver bowl that weighed (almost two pounds/800 grams), both of which were full of good flour and mixed with [olive] oil to be offerings of grain; they both were weighed using the standard scales; —a small gold dish that weighed (four ounces/14 grams), filled with incense; —a young bull, a [full-grown] ram, and a one-year-old ram, to be sacrifices to be completely burned on the altar; —a goat to be sacrificed to [enable me to forgive the people] the sins they have committed; —and two bulls, five full-grown rams, five male goats, and five rams that were one-year-old, to be sacrifices to maintain the people’s fellowship with Yahweh. This was the order in which the leaders brought their gifts: on the first day, Nahshon, son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah brought his gifts; on the next/second day, Nethanel, son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; on the next/third day, Eliab, son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; on the next/fourth day, Elizur, son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; on the next/fifth day, Shelumiel, son of Jurishhaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; on the next/sixth day, Eliasaph, son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; on the next/seventh day, Elishama, son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Ephraim; on the next/eighth day, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Manasseh; on the next/ninth day, Abidan, son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; on the next/tenth day, Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; on the next/eleventh day, Pagiel, son of Acran, from the tribe of Asher; on the next/twelfth day, Ahira, son of Enam, from the tribe of Naphtali.
