< Numbers 3 >

1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Ary izao no taranak’ i Arona sy Mosesy tamin’ ny andro nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy teo an-tendrombohitra Sinay.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Ny anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Arona dia Nadaba lahimatoa sy Abiho ary Eleazara sy 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.
Ireo no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Arona, dia ny mpisorona voahosotra, izay natokana hanao fisoronana.
4 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. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Fa maty teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Nadaba sy Abiho tamin’ izy nanatitra afo tsy izy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tany an-efitr’ i Sinay, sady samy tsy nanan-janaka izy mirahalahy; ary Eleazara sy Itamara no nanao fisoronana teo anatrehan’ i Arona rainy.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
Ento ny firenen’ i Levy hanatona, ka ampitoero eo anatrehan’ i Arona mpisorona mba hanompo azy.
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Dia hitandrina ny anjara-raharahan’ i Arona sy ny anjara raharahan’ ny fiangonana rehetra eo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, ka hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny tabernakely.
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Dia hitandrina ny fanaka rehetra momba ny trano-lay fihaonana sy ny anjara-raharahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy ka hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny tabernakely.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Ary homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zananilahy ny Levita; efa nomena azy mihitsy avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo.
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Ary Arona sy ny zananilahy hotendrenao hitandrina ny fisoronany; fa raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from amongst the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb amongst the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
Indro, Izaho efa naka ny Levita avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra izay voalohan-teraka eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: dia Ahy ny Levita,
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
satria Ahy ny lahimatoa rehetra; tamin’ ilay andro namelezako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta no nanamasinako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra eo amin’ ny Isiraely ho Ahy, na olona, na biby fiompy: Ahy ireo; Izaho no Jehovah.
14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy tany an-efitr’ i Sinay ka nanao hoe:
15 “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
Alamino ny Levita araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony; ny lahy rehetra eo aminy hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra no halaminao.
16 Moses counted them according to the LORD’s word, as he was commanded.
Ary Mosesy nandamina azy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, araka izay efa nandidiana azy.
17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Ary izao no zanakalahin’ i Levy, araka ny anarany: Gersona sy Kehata ary Merary.
18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany: Libny sy Simey.
19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Kehata, araka ny fianakaviany, dia Amrama sy Jizara sy Hebrona ary Oziela.
20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Merary, araka ny fianakaviany, dia Maly sy Mosy. Ireo no fokon’ ny Levita, araka ny fianakaviany.
21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites. These are the families of the Gershonites.
Avy tamin’ i Gersona ny fokon’ ny Libnita sy ny Simeita: Ireo no fokon’ ny Gersonita.
22 Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, even those who were counted of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
Ary izay nalamina, araka ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia diman-jato amby fito arivo.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.
Ny fokon’ ny Gersonita dia hitoby eo ivohon’ ny tabernakely, dia eo andrefany.
24 Eliasaph the son of Lael shall be the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites.
Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Gersonka dia Efiasafa, zanak’ i Laela.
25 The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Ary ny anjara-raharahan’ ny zanak’ i Gersona eo amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana dia ny tabernakely sy ny lay sy ny firakony sy ny varavarana lamba amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
ary ny fefi-lamban’ ny kianja sy ny vavahady lamba amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja, izay manodidina ny tabernakely sy ny alitara, ary ny kofehy rehetra momba azy.
27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites.
Ary avy tamin’ i Kehata ny fokon’ ny Amramita sy ny fokon’ ny Jizarita sy ny fokon’ ny Hebronita ary ny fokon’ ny Ozielita; ireo no fokon’ ny Kehatita.
28 According to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.
Ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, izay mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna, dia enin-jato amby valo arivo.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.
Ny fokon’ ny zanak’ i Kehata dia hitoby eo amin’ ny lafiny atsimo amin’ ny tabernakely.
30 The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fokon’ ny Kehatita dia Elisafana, zanak’ i Oziela.
31 Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, the screen, and all its service.
Ary ny anjara-raharahany dia ny fiara sy ny latabatra sy ny fanaovan-jiro sy ny alitara roa, ary ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna, izay fanaovana fanompoam-pivavahana, ary ny varavarana lamba mbamin’ ny zavatra rehetra fanaovana ny fanompoana momba azy.
32 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
Ary ny lehiben’ ny lohan’ ny Levita dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, izay lehiben’ ny mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin’ ny fitoerana masìna.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
Avy tamin’ i Merary ny fokon’ ny Malita sy ny fokon’ ny Mosita; Ireo no fokon’ i Merary.
34 Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.
Ary izay nalamina, araka ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia roan-jato amby enina arivo,
35 The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.
Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fokon’ i Merary dia Zoriela, zanak’ i Abihaila; ireo no hitoby eo amin’ ny lafiny avaratra amin’ ny tabernakely.
36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
Ary ny anjara-raharahan’ ny zanak’ i Merary dia ny zana-kazo amin’ ny tabernakely sy ny barany sy ny andriny ary ny faladiany, ary ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, sy ny zavatra rehetra enti-manao fanompoana ao,
37 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.
ary ny tsangantsangan’ ny kianja manodidina sy ny faladiany sy ny tsimany ary ny kofehiny.
38 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting towards the sunrise, shall be Moses, with Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
Ary ny mitoby eo anoloan’ ny tabernakely atsinanany, dia eo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro, dia Mosesy sy Arona ary ny zanany, izay mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna, dia ny anjara-raharahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
39 All who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Ny tontalin’ izay nalamina avy tamin’ ny Levita, dia izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah, avy tamin’ ny fokony, ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia roa arivo amby roa alina.
40 The LORD said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Alamino ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, ka alao isa ny anarany.
41 You shall take the Levites for me—I am the LORD—instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the livestock of the children of Israel.”
Ary alao ho Ahy ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Izaho no Jehovah; ary ny biby fiompin’ ny Levita ho solon’ ny voalohan-teraka rehetra amin’ ny biby fiompin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
42 Moses counted, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel.
Dia nalamin’ i Mosesy ny lahimatoa rehetra teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three.
Ary ny lahimatoa rehetra, araka ny anarany tsirairay hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, izay nalamina avy taminy dia telo amby fito-polo sy roan-jato sy roa arivo sy roa alina.
44 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
45 “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am the LORD.
Alao ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ny biby fiompin’ ny Levita ho solon’ ny biby fiompiny: Ahy ny Levita; Izaho no Jehovah.
46 For the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
Ary ny amin’ ny avotry ny telo amby fito-polo sy roan-jato amin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay mihoatra isa noho ny Levita,
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
dia hangalanao sekely dimy isan-olona; araka ny sekely masìna no hangalanao azy (gera roa-polo ny sekely iray).
48 and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
Dia homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny vola ho avotr’ ireo mihoatra isa ireo.
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Ary Mosesy nandray ny vola izay avotry ny nihoatra isa noho ny voavotry ny Levita;
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
tamin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely no nandraisany ny vola, dia sekely dimy amby enim-polo sy telon-jato sy arivo, araka ny sekely masìna;
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the LORD’s word, as the LORD commanded Moses.
dia nomen’ i Mosesy an’ i Arona sy ny zanany izany vola avotra izany, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, dia araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
