Numbers 1
1 In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
Mungu alimwambia Musa katika hema ya kukutania walipokuwa katika jangwa la Sinai. Hii ilitokea katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa pili miaka miwili baadaya Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri. Mungu alisema,
2 “I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
'fanya sensa ya wanaume wote wa Israel kutoka kila ukoo, katika familia za baba zao. Wahesabu kwa majina, wahesabu kila mume, kila mwanamume
kuanzia umri a miaka ishirini na zaidi. Uwahesabu wote wanaoweza kupigana kama askari wa Israel. Wewe na Haruni mtaandika idadi ya wanaume katika makundi ya majeshi yao.
4 [I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
Kila mwanamume kwa kila kabila, kichwa cha ukoo, lazima atumike na wewe kama kiongozi wa kabila.
5 Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
Haya ndiyo majina ya viongozi ambao watapigana pamoja na wewe: Kutoka kabila la Reubeni, Elizuri mwana wa Shedeuri;
kutoka kabila la Simeoni, Shelumiel mwana wa Zurishadai
Kutoka kabila la Yuda, Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu;

16 Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
Hawa ndio wanaume waliochaguliwa kutoka kwa watu. Waliongoza kabila za mababu zao. Walikuwa viongozi wa koo katika Israel.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Musa na Haruni wakawachukua wale wanaume, waliokuwa wameandikwa kwa majina,
18 and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
na pamoja na wanaume hao waliwakusanya wanume wote katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa pili. Kisha kila mwanume wa miaka ishirini na zaidi alitambua babu zake. Alitakiwa kutaja koo na famila kutoka katika ukoo.
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
Kisha Musa akaandika hesabu yao huko katika nyika ya Sinai, Kama Mungu alivyokuwa amemwamuru kufanya.
20 This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

44 That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
Musa na Haruni waliwahesabu wanaume wote hawa, pamoja na wale wanaume kumi na wawili waliokuwa wakiongoza yale makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli.
Kwa hiyo wanaume wote wa Israeli wenye umri wa miak ishirini au zaidi, wote wenye uwezo wa kwenda vitani, walihesabiwa kutoka kwenye familia zao.
46 The total was 603,550 men.
Walihesabu wanaume 603, 550.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Lakini wanaume toka uzao wa Lawi hawakuhesabiwa,
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
Kwa sababu BWANA alimwambia Musa,
49 “When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
“usiwahesabu wale wa kabila la Lawi wala kuwajumuisha kwenye jumla ya watu wa Israeli.
50 Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
Badala yake, waagize Walawi kuliangalia hema la amri za agano, na kuangalia mapambo ya hema na vyote vilivyomo. Walawi watalazimika kulibeba hema na lazima wayabebe mapambo ya hema. Lazima waliangalie hema na kuyatengeneza mazingira yake. Wataiangalia masikani na kuzitengeneza kambi zinazolizunguka.
51 Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
Kila hema litakapotakiwa kuhamishiwa eneo jingine, Walawi ndio watakaolipeleka pale. Na kila hema litakapotakiwa kusimamishwa, Walawi ndio watakao lisimamisha. Na mgeni yeyote atakayelisogelea hema lazima auawe.
52 The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
Wakati watu wa Israeli watakaposimamisha hema zao, kila mwanaume lazima awe karibu na bango la jeshi lake.
53 But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
Hata hivyo Walawi lazima waweke hema zao kuizunguka hiyo masikani ya amri za agano ili kwamba hasira yangu isije ikawaka juu ya wana wa Israeli. Walawi lazima wailinde hiyo masikani ya amri za agano.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Wana wa Israeli walifanya yote haya. Walifanya yote ambayo BWANA aliagiza kupitia Musa.
