1 SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a, nan tant asanble a, nan premye jou a dezyèm mwa a, nan dezyèm ane lè yo te fin sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Li te di:
In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
2 “Fè yon chif kontwòl tout asanble fis Israël yo selon fanmi zansèt pa yo, selon papa lakay yo, selon kantite, non a chak gason, tèt pa tèt,
“I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
3 soti nan ventan oplis, nenpòt moun ki kapab fè lagè an Israël. Ou menm avèk Aaron va konte yo pa lame yo.
4 Anplis de nou menm, va genyen yon moun ki sòti nan chak tribi, yo chak ki se tèt a fanmi zansèt pa li.
[I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
5 “Alò, sa yo se nonm mesye ki va kanpe avèk ou yo: pou Ruben: Élitsur, fis a Schedéur;
Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
6 pou Siméon: Schelumiel, fis a Tsurischaddaï;
7 pou Juda: Nachschon, fis a Amminadab;
8 pou Issacar: Nethaneel, fis a Tsuar;
9 pou Zabulon: Éliab, fis a Hélon;
10 pou fis a Joseph yo, pou Éphraïm: Élischama, fis a Ammihud; pou Manassé: Gamaliel, fis a Pedahtsur;
11 pou Benjamin: Abidan, fis a Guideoni;
12 pou Dan: Ahiézer, fis a Mamischaddaï;
13 pou Aser: Paguiel, fis a Ocran;
14 pou Gad: Éliasapah, fis a Déuel;
15 pou Nephthali: Ahira, fis a Énan.”
16 Se sila yo ki te rele pa asanble a, dirijan a tribi fanmi zansèt pa yo; yo te chèf a dè milye an Israël.
Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
17 Konsa, Moïse avèk Aaron te pran mesye sa yo ki te chwazi pa non yo.
Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
18 Yo te reyini tout kongregasyon an ansanm nan premye jou nan dezyèm mwa a. Konsa, yo te fè anrejistreman selon fanmi zansèt pa yo, selon kay papa yo, selon kantite ki te nome yo, soti nan ventan oswa plis, tèt pa tèt.
and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
19 Jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, konsa li te konte yo nan dezè ki rele Sinaï a.
just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
20 Alò fis a Ruben yo, premye ne pou Israël, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite ki te nome yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

22 Pou fis Siméon yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite ki te nome yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.

25 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Gad la te karann-senk-mil-sis-san-senkant.
26 Pou fis Juda yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
27 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Juda a te swasann-katòz-mil-sis-san.
28 Pou fis Issacar yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
29 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Issacar a te senkant-kat-mil-kat-san.
30 Pou fis Zabulon yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
31 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Zabulon an te senkant-sèt-mil-kat-san.
32 Pou fis Joseph sa vle di Éphraïm, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
33 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Éphraïm nan te karann-sèt-mil-senk-san.
34 Pou fis Manassé yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
35 Fòs kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Manassé a te trann-de-mil-de-san.
36 Pou fis Benjamin yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
37 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Benjamin an te trann-senk-mil-kat-san.
38 Pou fis Dan yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
39 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Dan nan te swasann-de-mil-sèt-san.
40 Pou fis Aser yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
41 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Aser a te karanteyen-mil-senk-san.
42 Pou fis Nephthali yo, anrejistreman pa yo selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè.
43 Kantite mesye ki te konte nan tribi Nephtali a te senkant-twa-mil-kat-san.
44 Sa yo se sila ki te konte yo, ke Moïse avèk Aaron te konte yo, selon chèf Israël yo, douz gason, chak ki te sòti lakay zansèt papa pa yo.
That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
45 Konsa se tout gason nan fis Israël yo ki te konte selon fanmi zansèt yo, selon fanmi papa pa yo, selon kantite non yo, tèt pa tèt, tout gason soti nan ventan oswa plis ki ta kapab fè lagè an Israël.
46 Jiskaske tout mesye ki te konte yo te sis-san-twa-mil-senk-san-senkant.
The total was 603,550 men.
47 Men Levit yo pa t konte pami yo selon tribi zansèt papa pa yo.
But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
48 Paske SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
49 “Sèlman tribi Levi a, nou p ap konte, ni nou p ap fè kontwòl anrejistreman pa yo pami fis Israël yo.
“When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
50 Men nou va chwazi Levit yo sou tabènak temwayaj la, sou tout zafè li yo ak tout sa ki apatyen a li menm. Yo va pote tabènak la avèk tout zafè li, e yo va okipe li; yo va osi fè kan antoure tabènak la.
Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
51 Konsa lè tabènak la ap pati, Levit yo va desann li; epi lè tabènak la vin kanpe, Levit yo va monte li. Men sila ki pa Levit ki vin toupre va vin mete a lanmò.
Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
52 “Fis Israël yo va fè kan, chak mesye bò kote kan pa li, e chak mesye bò drapo pa li, selon lame yo.
The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
53 Men Levit yo va fè kan antoure tabènak temwayaj la, pou kòlè pa vin sou asanble fis Israël yo. Konsa Levit yo va kenbe chaj sou Tabènak Temwayaj la.”
But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
54 Se konsa ke fis Israël yo te fè. Selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse yo, konsa yo te fè.
So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
