Mose 4 3
1 Esiawoe nye Aron kple Mose viwo, le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Sinai to la dzi la.
Now this is the history of the descendants of Aaron and Moses when Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Viŋutsu enee nɔ Aron si. Woawoe nye Nadab, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar.
The names of Aaron's sons were Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Wosi ami na wo katã, eye woɖo wo nunɔlawoe. Woɖe wo ɖe aga be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo le Agbadɔ la me.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and who were ordained to serve as priests.

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.
5 Eya ta Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 “Yɔ Levi ƒe viwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye nàtsɔ wo ana nunɔla Aron abe eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo ene.
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest for them to help him.
7 Woawɔ nu siwo Aron aɖo na wo. Woawɔ dɔ kɔkɔewo le Agbadɔ la me ɖe Israelviwo katã nu,
They must perform the duties on behalf of Aaron and the whole community before the tent of meeting. They must serve in the tabernacle.
8 Woakpɔ Agbadɔ la me nuwo kple Agbadɔ blibo la dzi
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.
9 elabena wotsɔ wo katã na Aron abe Israelviwo katã ƒe teƒenɔlawo ene.
You must give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are wholly given to help him serve the people of Israel.

You must appoint Aaron and his sons as priests, but any foreigner who comes near must be put to death.”
11 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
12 “Metsɔ Levi ƒe viwo le Israelviwo dome ɖe Israel nyɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒe viŋutsu gbãtɔ teƒe. Levi ƒe viwo nye tɔnyewo.
“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.
13 Metsɔ wo ɖɔli viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo. Tso gbe si gbe mewu Egiptetɔwo ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔwo la, mexɔ Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo, amegbetɔwo tɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa na ɖokuinye! Tɔnyewoe wonye; nyee nye Yehowa!”
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.”
