Numbers 3
1 Now this is the history of the descendants of Aaron and Moses when Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
Ma e nonro mar joka Harun kod Musa e kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye owuoyo gi Musa e Got Sinai.
2 The names of Aaron's sons were Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Nying yawuot Harun ne gin Nadab ma wuowi makayo kod Abihu, Eliazar kod Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and who were ordained to serve as priests.
Mago ema ne nying yawuot Harun, mane gin jodolo mowir kendo mopwodhi mondo obed jodolo.
4 But Nadab and Abihu fell dead before Yahweh when they offered to him unacceptable fire in the wilderness of Sinai. Nadab and Abihu had no children, so just Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with Aaron their father.
Kata kamano Nadab kod Abihu, notho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e kinde mane gichiwo misango ma ok opwodhi e Thim mar Sinai. Ne gionge yawuowi; omiyo Eliazar gi Ithamar kende ema nobedo jodolo e ndalo mane Harun wuon-gi pod ngima.
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest for them to help him.
“Kel dhood jo-Lawi kendo ichiwgi e nyim jadolo Harun mondo gikonye tich.
7 They must perform the duties on behalf of Aaron and the whole community before the tent of meeting. They must serve in the tabernacle.
Nyaka gitine kaachiel gi oganda duto e nyim Hemb Romo ka gitiyo tije mag kama ler.
8 They must care for all the furnishings in the tent of meeting, and they must help the tribes of Israel to carry out the tabernacle service.
Nyaka girit malongʼo gige Hemb Romo duto, ka gichopo chike duto mag jo-Israel monego gitim e Hemb Romo.
9 You must give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are wholly given to help him serve the people of Israel.
Chiw jo-Lawi e lwet Harun gi yawuote nikech gin e joma owal e dhood Israel mondo okonye tich.
10 You must appoint Aaron and his sons as priests, but any foreigner who comes near must be put to death.”
Yier Harun kod yawuote mondo obed jodolo; ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka negi.”
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nomedo wachone Musa niya,
12 “Look, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel. I have done this instead of taking each firstborn male who is born among the people of Israel. The Levites belong to me.
“Asekawo jo-Lawi koa ei jo-Israel e lo wuowi makayo mar chi ja-Israel moro ka moro. Jo-Lawi gin meka,
13 All the firstborn belong to me. On the day that I attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set apart for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both people and animals. They belong to me. I am Yahweh.”
nimar yawuowi makayo duto gin meka. Kane anego yawuowi makayo duto e piny Misri, ne awalo ne an awuon kayo moro amora e Israel, obed mar dhano kata mar le mondo gibed maga. An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa e Thim mar Sinai niya,
15 “Count the descendants of Levi in each family, in their clans. Count every male who is one month old and older.”
“Kwan jo-Lawi kaluwore gi joutgi kod anywolagi. Kwan chwo duto chakre ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime.”
16 Moses counted them, following the word of Yahweh, just as he was commanded to do.
Omiyo Musa nokwanogi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nomiye chik.
17 The names of Levi's sons were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Magi ema ne nyinge yawuot jo-Lawi: Gershon, Kohath gi Merari.
18 The clans coming from Gershon's sons were Libni and Shimei.
Magi ema ne nying joka Gershon: Libni gi Shimei.
19 The clans coming from Kohath's sons were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Joka Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron gi Uziel.
20 The clans coming from Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites, listed clan by clan.
Joka Merari ne gin: Mali gi Mushi. Magi ema ne anywola jo-Lawi, kaluwore gi dhoutgi.
21 The clans of the Libnites and the Shimeites come from Gershon. These are the clans of the Gershonites.
Koa e dhood Gershon, ne nitiere jo-Libni gi Shimei; mago ema ne joka Gershon.
22 All the males from a month old and older were counted, totaling 7,500.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime noromo ji alufu abiriyo mia abich.
23 The clans of the Gershonites must camp on the west side of the tabernacle.
Dhout jo-Gershon nonego dag yo podho chiengʼ mar kama ler.
24 Eliasaph son of Lael must lead the clans of the descendants of the Gershonites.
Jatend Gershon ne en Eliasaf wuod Lael.
25 The family of Gershon must care for the tent of meeting including the tabernacle. They must care for the tent, its covering, and the curtain used as the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Tij jo-Gershon e Kar Hemb Romo ne en rito Kama Ler mar Lemo kod hema, kaachiel gi gik moumego, kaka pasia mantiere e dhorangach mar Hemb Romo.
26 They must care for the courtyard hangings, the curtain at the courtyard entrance—the courtyard that surrounds the sanctuary and the altar. They must care for the ropes of the tent of meeting and for everything in it.
Bende negirito pasia mag laru, pasia mar dhorangach mar laru molworo kama ler gi kendo mar misango kod tonde, kaachiel gi gik moko duto mitwechogo.
27 These clans come from Kohath: the clan of the Amramites, the clan of the Izharites, the clan of the Hebronites, and the clan of the Uzzielites. These clans belong to the Kohathites.
E dhood Kohath ne nitiere jo-Amram, jo-Izhar, jo-Hebron, jo-Uziel; magi ema ne anywola joka Kohath.
28 8,600 males have been counted aged one month old and older to take care of the things that belong to Yahweh.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime ne romo ji alufu aboro mia auchiel. Tij jo-Kohath ne en rito kama ler mar lemo.
29 The Kohath clans must camp on the south side of the tabernacle.
Dhood Kohath nonego dagi yo milambo mar kama ler.
30 Elizaphan son of Uzziel must lead the clans of the Kohathites.
Jatend dhout jo-Kohath ne en Elizafan wuod Uziel.
31 They must care for the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the holy things that are used in their service, the curtain, and all the work around it.
Tijgi ne en rito Sandug Muma, mesa, rachungi mar taya, kende mag misengini, gige kama ler mar lemo mitiyogo tije dolo, pasia, kod gik moko duto mitiyogo tijego.
32 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest must lead the men who lead the Levites. He must supervise the men who care for the holy place.
Jatelo maduongʼ mar jo-Lawi ne en Eliazar wuod Harun jadolo. En ema ne oyiere bedo jatelo mag joma rito kama ler mar lemo.
33 Two clans have come from Merari: the clan of the Mahlites and the clan of the Mushites. These clans have come from Merari.
E dhood Merari ne nitiere jo-Mali kod jo-Mushi; magi ema anywola joka Merari.
34 6,200 males have been counted aged one month old and older.
Kar romb chwo duto kochakore ja-dwe achiel kata moloyo dwe achiel mane okwan ne romo ji alufu auchiel mia ariyo.
35 Zuriel son of Abihail must lead the clans of Merari. They must camp on the north side of the tabernacle.
Jatend dhout Merari ne en Zuriel wuod Abihail. Nonego gidagi yo nyandwat mar kama ler.
36 The descendants of Merari must care for the framing of the tabernacle, the crossbars, posts, bases, all the hardware, and everything related to them, including
Joka Merari noyier mondo orit sirni mag kama ler mar lemo, yiend reru, sirni mamoko, mise, kaachiel gi gige duto kod gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo,
37 the pillars and posts of the courtyard that surround the tabernacle, with their sockets, pegs, and ropes.
kaachiel gi sirni mochungʼ molworo laru man-gi mise, sigingi mag hema kod tonde.
38 Moses and Aaron and his sons must camp on the east side of the tabernacle, in front of the tent of meeting, toward the sunrise. They are responsible for the fulfillment of the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the people of Israel. Any foreigner who approaches the sanctuary must be put to death.
Musa kod Harun gi yawuote nonego dagi yo wuok chiengʼ mar Hemb Romo. Tijgi ne en rito kama ler mar lemo e lo jo-Israel. Ngʼato angʼata mane osudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka ne negi.
39 Moses and Aaron counted all the males in the clans of Levi who were aged one month old and older, just as Yahweh commanded. They counted twenty-two thousand men.
Kar romb jo-Lawi duto mane okwan kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ogolo kokadho kuom Musa kod Harun kaluwore gi anywolagi ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo, magi ne gin kaachiel gi nyithindo duto ma yawuowi kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime.
40 Yahweh said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the people of Israel who are aged one month old and older. List their names.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kwan nyithindo ma yawuowi makayo duto mag Israel kochakore ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime kendo indik nyingegi piny.
41 You must take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn of the people of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of the firstborn of the livestock of the descendants of Israel.”
Ket jo-Lawi obedna kaka kayo e lo kayo duto mag jo-Israel, kendo kaw jamb jo-Lawi obed e lo kweth makayo mag jamb jo-Israel. An e Jehova Nyasaye.”
42 Moses counted all the firstborn people of Israel as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
Omiyo Musa nokwano nyithindo makayo duto mag jo-Israel, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
43 He counted all the firstborn males by name, aged one month old and older. He counted 22,273 men.
Kar romb nyithindo ma yawuowi duto makayo ma ja-dwe achiel kadhi nyime, kondik nying-gi moro ka moro ne romo ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo, mia ariyo gi piero abiriyo gadek.
44 Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nochako owachone Musa niya,
45 “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel, and take the Levites' livestock instead of the people's livestock. The Levites belong to me—I am Yahweh.
“Ket jo-Lawi mondo obedna kaka kayo e lo jo-Israel, kendo jamni mag jo-Lawi e lo jambgi. Jo-Lawi nyaka bed maga. An e Jehova Nyasaye.
46 You must collect five shekels for the redemption of each of the 273 firstborn people of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites.
Mondo omi ires jo-Israel makayo ji mia ariyo piero adek gabiriyo ma kwan-gi ohewo kwan midwaro mar jo-Lawi,
47 You must use the shekel of the sanctuary as your standard weight. The shekel equals twenty gerahs.
chok shekel abich ne ngʼato ka ngʼato, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo gera piero ariyo.
48 You must give the price of redemption that you paid to Aaron and his sons.”
Mi Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore.”
49 So Moses collected the payment of redemption from those who exceeded the number of those redeemed by the Levites.
Omiyo Musa nochoko pesa kuom joma ne omedore e kwan mane jo-Lawi oreso.
50 Moses collected the money from the firstborn of the people of Israel. He collected 1,365 shekels, weighing with the shekel of the sanctuary.
Koa kuom kayo mag jo-Israel nochoko fedha ma pekne en shekel alufu mia achiel mia adek gi piero auchiel gabich, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo.
51 Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons. Moses did everything he was told to do by Yahweh's word, as Yahweh had commanded him.
Musa nochiwo ne Harun kod yawuote pesa miwarogo jo-Israel momedore mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike.
