1 Esi dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Eleazar, si nye nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu be,
After the plague [ended], Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses/me,
2 “Mixlẽ Israelvi siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema ne miakpɔ ame siwo ate ŋu ayi aʋa tso to ɖe sia ɖe kple hlɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe me.”
“Count all the people of Israel [again]. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight [in battles], along with their family names.”
3 Ale le Moab tagba, le Yɔdan gbɔ tso Yeriko, Mose kple Eleazar, nunɔla la, ƒo nu kple wo, eye wogblɔ be,
So while the Israelis were on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, Eleazar and Moses/I told this to the Israeli leaders:
4 “Mixlẽ ŋutsu siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.” Woawoe nye Israelvi siwo ʋu tso Egiptenyigba dzi.
“Write down the names of all the Israeli men who are at least 20 years old, as Yahweh has commanded us.” [So they did that], and this is a record of all the descendants of Jacob who came out of Egypt [who were still alive].

and his grandsons were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who joined with Korah to conspire against Aaron and Moses/me and rebelled against Yahweh.
10 Eya ta anyigba ke nu mi wo, eye dzo tso Yehowa gbɔ wu ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃ wòzu ŋkuɖodzinu.
But the earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah. Yahweh also sent a fire that burned up 250 men who supported those three men. That was a warning [to all the Israeli people] that they should respect and obey the leaders whom Yahweh had appointed.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
53 “Wòama anyigba la ɖe to vovovoawo dome le toawo me tɔwo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu, abe ale si amexexlẽ la fia ene.
“Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists.
54 To siwo me amewo sɔ gbɔ le la, woaxɔ anyigba wòalolo, eye to siwo me amewo mesɔ gbɔ le o la ƒe anyigba nanɔ sue.
Decide by (casting lots/throwing stones which are marked) to determine which group will get which area, but give the largest areas to the groups with the most people.”
55 Yehowa ɖo na Mose be, Kpɔ egbɔ be yewodzidze nu hafi ma anyigba la, eye woaxɔ domenyinu ɖe wo fofowo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔ nu.

The leaders also counted the male descendants of Levi. They were in clans descended from Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
58 Levi ƒomea me tɔwoe nye, Libni ƒomea, Hebroni ƒomea, Mahli ƒomea, Musi ƒomea kple Korah ƒomea. (Kohat nye Amram tɔgbui.
These also included people from the clans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. All of them were descendants of Levi. Kohath was the ancestor of Amram,
59 Amram srɔ̃ ŋkɔe nye Yohebed, Levi ƒe dzidzimevi, ame si wòdzi na Levi ƒe viwo le Egipte.
whose wife was Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, but she was born in Egypt. She and Amram had two sons, Aaron and Moses/me, and their/our [older] sister Miriam.
60 Aron ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar kple Itamar.
Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 Nadab kple Abihu woku esi wodo dzudzɔ makɔmakɔ na Yehowa.)
But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned [incense for a sacrifice] to Yahweh in a way that disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded.
62 Levi ƒe vi siwo katã woxlẽ wonye ŋutsuwo, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃. Ke womebu Levi ƒe viwo de Israelviwo ƒe amexexlẽ ƒe nukpɔkpɔ blibo la me o, elabena womena anyigba Levi ƒe viwo esi woma anyigba ɖe toawo dome o.
The leaders counted 23,000 men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israeli people [were counted], because they were not given any land.
63 Ale esiae nye Israelvi siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar tia xlẽ le Moab gbegbe le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to le Yeriko kasa.
Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses/I said should be counted. They counted the Israeli people on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, on the [east] side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [city].
64 Wo dometɔ ɖeka gɔ̃ hã menɔ ame siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar xlẽ esime woxlẽ Israelviwo le Sinai gbegbe la dome o.
None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses/me when the Israelis were in the Sinai Desert,
65 Elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Israelvi mawo be, woaku godoo le gbegbe la; wo dometɔ aɖeke mesusɔ o, negbe Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu.
because Yahweh had said about them, “They will all die in this desert,” [and that is what happened]. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
