Numbers 3
1 These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day [that] the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
Hii ni hesabu ya jamaa ya Aroni na Mose kwa wakati ambao Bwana alizungumza na Mose katika Mlima Sinai.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Majina ya wana wa Aroni yalikuwa: Nadabu mzaliwa wa kwanza na Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
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.
Hayo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Aroni, makuhani wapakwa mafuta, waliokuwa wamesimikwa kuhudumu kama makuhani.
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.
Hata hivyo Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele za Bwana walipotoa sadaka kwa moto usioruhusiwa mbele zake katika Jangwa la Sinai. Hawakuwa na wana; kwa hiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walihudumu peke yao kama makuhani wakati wote wa maisha ya Aroni baba yao.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Walete watu wa kabila la Lawi mbele ya Aroni kuhani ili wamsaidie.
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.
Watafanya huduma kwa ajili yake na kwa jumuiya yote katika Hema la Kukutania kwa kufanya kazi za Maskani.
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.
Watatunza samani zote za Hema la Kukutania, wakitimiza wajibu wa kuhudumia Waisraeli kwa kufanya kazi ya Maskani.
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.
Wakabidhi Walawi kwa Aroni na wanawe; hao ndio Waisraeli ambao wanakabidhiwa kwake kabisa.
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.
Waweke Aroni na wanawe kuhudumu kama makuhani; mtu mwingine yeyote atakayesogea mahali patakatifu ni lazima auawe.”
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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;
“Nimewatwaa Walawi kutoka miongoni mwa Waisraeli badala ya mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa kila mwanamke wa Mwisraeli. Walawi ni wangu,
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.
kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza ni wangu. Nilipowaua wazaliwa wa kwanza huko Misri, nilimtenga kila mzaliwa wa kwanza katika Israeli awe wangu, akiwa mwanadamu au mnyama. Watakuwa wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai,
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.
“Wahesabu Walawi kwa jamaa zao na koo zao. Mhesabu kila mwanaume mwenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
Kwa hiyo Mose akawahesabu, kama alivyoamriwa na neno la Bwana.

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.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Wahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wote wa Waisraeli wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi na uorodheshe majina yao.
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.
Nitwalie Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli, nayo mifugo ya Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa mifugo ya Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Hivyo Mose akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Waisraeli, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
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.

44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Watwae Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli, nayo mifugo ya Walawi badala ya mifugo yao. Walawi watakuwa wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
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:
Ili kukomboa wazao wa kwanza 273 wa Waisraeli ambao wamezidi hesabu ya Walawi,
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.
kusanya shekeli tano kwa kila mmoja, kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini.
48 And thou shalt give to Aaron and to his sons the money, with which the odd number of them is to be redeemed.
Mpe Aroni na wanawe hizo fedha kwa ajili ya ukombozi wa idadi ya Waisraeli waliozidi.”
49 And Moses took the redemption-money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Kwa hiyo Mose akakusanya fedha za ukombozi kutoka kwa wale ambao hesabu yao ilizidi wale waliokombolewa na Walawi.
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.
Kutokana na wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli alikusanya fedha yenye uzito wa shekeli 1,365 kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu.
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 akampa Aroni na wanawe ile fedha ya ukombozi, kama alivyoamriwa na neno la Bwana.
