Numbers 3
1 These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day [that] the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
Iyi ndi mbiri ya banja la Aaroni ndi Mose pa nthawi yomwe Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose pa phiri la Sinai.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Mayina a ana aamuna a Aaroni anali Nadabu, woyamba kubadwa, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara.
3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Amenewa ndi mayina a ana aamuna a Aaroni, ansembe odzozedwa omwe anapatulidwa kuti azitumikira ngati ansembe.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Koma Nadabu ndi Abihu, anagwa nafa pamaso pa Yehova pamene ankapereka nsembe ndi moto wachilendo pamaso pa Yehova mʼchipululu cha Sinai. Iwowo analibe ana aamuna. Choncho Eliezara ndi Itamara ndiwo amene ankatumikira ngati ansembe nthawi imene Aaroni abambo awo anali moyo.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Bweretsa fuko la Levi ndipo ulipereke kwa Aaroni wansembe kuti lizimutumikira.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Azigwira ntchito yothandiza iyeyo ndi gulu lonse ku tenti ya msonkhano pogwira ntchito ya ku Chihema.
8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Azisamalira zipangizo zonse za mu tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo azigwirira ntchito Aisraeli potumikira mu tenti.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
Pereka Alevi kwa Aaroni ndi kwa ana ake aamuna. Amenewa ndiwo Aisraeli amene aperekedwa kwa iye kwathunthu.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Usankhe Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna kuti azitumikira pa ntchito ya unsembe. Koma wina aliyense woyandikira malo opatulika aphedwe.”
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuzanso Mose kuti,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel, instead of all the first-born that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
“Pakati pa Aisraeli onse ndatenga Alevi kulowa mʼmalo mwa mwana wamwamuna aliyense woyamba kubadwa kwa amayi a Chiisraeli. Alevi ndi anga,
13 Because all the first-born [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I hallowed to me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be: I [am] the LORD.
pakuti ana onse oyamba kubadwa ndi anga. Nditakantha ana onse oyamba kubadwa mu Igupto, ndinadzipatulira ndekha mwana aliyense woyamba kubadwa mu Israeli, wa munthu ndi nyama. Azikhala anga. Ine ndine Yehova.”
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose mʼchipululu cha Sinai kuti,
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
“Werenga Alevi monga mwa mabanja awo ndi mafuko awo. Werenga mwamuna aliyense kuyambira wa mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
Choncho Mose anawawerenga potsatira zomwe Yehova anamulamulira.
17 And these were the sons of Levi, by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Mayina a ana aamuna a Levi ndi awa: Geresoni, Kohati ndi Merari.
18 And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi: these [are] the families of the Levites, according to the house of their fathers.
Ana a Merari potsata mabanja awo ndi awa: Mali ndi Musi. Amenewa ndiwo anali mabanja a Alevi monga mwa makolo awo.
21 Of Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these [are] the families of the Gershonites.
Kwa Geresoni kunali banja la Alibini, banja la Asimei. Amenewa ndiwo anali mabanja a Ageresoni.
22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even] those that were numbered of them, [were] seven thousand and five hundred.
Chiwerengero cha amuna onse amene anawawerenga a mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo chinali 7,500.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
Mabanja a Ageresoni azimanga misasa yawo kumadzulo, kumbuyo kwa Chihema.
24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Mtsogoleri wa mabanja a Ageresoni anali Eliyasafu mwana wa Laeli.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
Ntchito imene Ageresoni anapatsidwa ku tenti ya msonkhano inali yosamalira Chihema ndi tenti, pamodzi ndi zophimbira zake, katani ya pa khomo la ku tenti ya msonkhano,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it, for all the service of it.
ndi makatani wotchinga bwalo, katani ya pa chipata cholowera ku bwalo lozungulira Chihema ndi guwa lansembe, zingwe ndi zonse zokhudzana ndi ntchito yawo.
27 And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of the Kohathites.
Kwa Kohati kunali mabanja a Amramu, Aizihara, Ahebroni ndi Auzieli. Awa ndiye anali mabanja a Akohati.
28 In the number of all the males from a month old and upward, [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
Chiwerengero cha amuna onse a mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo chinali 8,600. Akohati ankagwira ntchito yosamalira malo wopatulika.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Mabanja a ana a Kohati ankamanga misasa yawo kummwera kwa Chihema.
30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Mtsogoleri wa magulu a mabanja a Kohati anali Elizafani mwana wa Uzieli.
31 And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the hanging, and all the service of it.
Iwo ankagwira ntchito yosamalira Bokosi la Chipangano, tebulo, choyikapo nyale, maguwa, zipangizo za kumalo wopatulika zimene ansembe ankagwiritsa ntchito, katani, ndi zonse zomwe ankagwiritsa ntchito.
32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be] chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
Mtsogoleri wamkulu wa Alevi anali Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni wansembe. Iye anasankhidwa kukhala woyangʼanira omwe ankasamalira malo wopatulika.
33 Of Merari [was] the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these [are] the families of Merari.
Kwa Merari kunali banja la Mali ndi banja la Musi. Amenewa ndiye anali mabanja a Amerari.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, [were] six thousand and two hundred.
Chiwerengero cha amuna onse kuyambira a mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo chinali 6,200.
35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
Mtsogoleri wa magulu a mabanja a Amerari anali Zuriyeli mwana wa Abihaili. Iwo ankamanga misasa yawo kumpoto kwa Chihema.
36 And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all that serveth to it.
Amerari anapatsidwa ntchito yosamalira mitengo ya chihema, nsichi zake, mizati yake, matsinde ake, ndi zida zake zonse, ndi zonse zomwe ankagwiritsa ntchito,
37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
pamodzi ndi mizati yozungulira bwalo ndi matsinde ake, zikhomo za chihema ndi zingwe zake.
38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle towards the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward [shall be] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary, for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Mose ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna ankamanga misasa yawo kummawa kwa chihema, kuyangʼana kotulukira dzuwa, kutsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano. Anali ndi ntchito yosamalira malo wopatulika mʼmalo mwa Aisraeli. Aliyense woyandikira malo wopatulika ankayenera kuphedwa.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.
Alevi onse amene Mose ndi Aaroni anawawerenga potsatira lamulo la Yehova monga mwa magulu a mabanja awo, amuna onse kuyambira a mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo anali 22,000.
40 And the LORD said to Moses, number all the first-born of the males of the children of Israel, from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Werenga ana onse aamuna oyamba kubadwa mu Israeli, omwe ali ndi mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo ndipo ulembe mndandanda wa mayina awo.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites, instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Unditengere Alevi onse mʼmalo mwa ana oyamba kubadwa onse a Aisraeli, ndiponso ziweto zazimuna za Alevi mʼmalo mwa ziweto zonse zazimuna zoyamba kubadwa za Aisraeli. Ine ndine Yehova.”
42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Choncho Mose anawerenga ana aamuna onse oyamba kubadwa a Aisraeli monga momwe Yehova anamulamulira.
43 And all the first-born males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and seventy and three.
Chiwerengero chonse cha ana aamuna oyamba kubadwa kuyambira a mwezi umodzi kapena kupitirirapo chinali 22, 273.
44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ndipo Yehova anawuzanso Mose kuti,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.
“Tenga Alevi mʼmalo mwa ana aamuna oyamba kubadwa onse a Aisraeli, ndiponso zoweta zonse za Alevi mʼmalo mwa zoweta za Aisraeli. Alevi ndi anga. Ine ndine Yehova.
46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and seventy and three, of the first-born of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites:
Pofuna kuwombola ana aamuna 273 oyamba kubadwa a Aisraeli amene anaposa chiwerengero cha aamuna a fuko la Levi,
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: the shekel [is] twenty gerahs.
utenge masekeli asanu pa munthu aliyense. Masekeliwo akhale ofanana ndi masekeli a ku malo wopatulika, kumene sekeli imodzi imakwanira magera makumi awiri.
48 And thou shalt give to Aaron and to his sons the money, with which the odd number of them is to be redeemed.
Ndalama zimenezi uzipereke kwa Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna kuti ukhale mtengo woombolera Aisraeli woonjezerawo.”
49 And Moses took the redemption-money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Choncho Mose anatenga ndalama zowombolera zija kuchokera kwa Aisraeli amene chiwerengero chawo chinaposa chiwerengero cha omwe anawomboledwa ndi Alevi.
50 Of the first-born of the children of Israel he took the money; a thousand three hundred and sixty and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Anatenga masekeli a siliva okwana 1,365 molingana ndi masekeli a ku malo opatulika, kuchokera kwa ana aamuna oyamba kubadwa a Aisraeli.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Mose anapereka ndalama zowombolera zija kwa Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna monga mwa mawu amene Yehova analamulira.
