1 Alò sa yo se chif desandan a Aaron avèk Moïse nan tan lè SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse sou Mòn Sinaï a.
This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo: Nadab, premye ne a, Abith, Éléazar ak Ithamar.
The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo, prèt onksyone ke li te konsakre pou sèvi kòm prèt yo.
These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
4 Men Nadab avèk Abihu te mouri devan SENYÈ a lè yo te ofri dife etranje devan SENYÈ a nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo pa t gen pitit. Konsa, Éléazar avèk Ithamar te sèvi kòm prèt pandan papa yo, Aaron, t ap viv.
Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord's presence when they offered forbidden fire before the Lord in the Sinai desert. Since they didn't have any sons, Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests while their father Aaron was alive.
5 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The Lord told Moses,
6 “Mennen tribi Levi a vin pre ou, e fè yo chita devan Aaron, prèt la, pou yo kapab sèvi li.
“Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
7 Yo va ranpli devwa pou li ak pou tout kongregasyon an devan tant asanble a, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
They are to carry out duties on his behalf and for all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, looking after the service of the Tabernacle.
8 Yo va osi kenbe tout zafè ki founi tant asanble a, ansanm avèk devwa a fis Israël yo, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
They are responsible for caring for all the furniture of the Tent of Meeting, serving the Israelites through what they do in the Tabernacle.
9 Konsa ou va bay Levit yo a Aaron avèk fis li yo; yo va bay nèt a li pami fis Israël yo.
The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
10 Konsa, ou va chwazi Aaron avèk fis li yo pou yo kapab ranpli fonksyon prèt yo, men nenpòt lòt moun ki pwoche va vin mete a lanmò.”
You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to have the responsibility of the priesthood. Anyone else who tries to act as a priest must be executed.”
11 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The Lord told Moses,
12 “Alò, veye byen, Mwen te pran Levit yo pami fis Israël yo olye de chak premye ne, premye bebe a chak vant pami fis Israël yo. Konsa, Levit yo se pa M.
“I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
13 Paske, tout premye ne se pa M yo ye. Nan jou ke M te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, Mwen te sanktifye pou Mwen menm tout premye ne an Israël yo soti nan lòm pou rive nan bèt yo. Yo va pou Mwen; Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
because all the firstborn are mine. When I killed every firstborn in Egypt I set apart as holy to me all the firstborn of Israel, human and animal. They are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a. Li te di:
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,
15 “Konte fis a Levi yo selon lakay papa pa yo, pa fanmi yo; tout gason soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, ou va konte yo.”
“Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
16 Alò, Moïse te konte yo selon pawòl a SENYÈ a, jis jan ke li te kòmande a.
So Moses registered them following the Lord's instructions, just as he had been told.
17 Konsa, se sa yo ki te fis a Levi yo pa non yo: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
These were the names of Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18 Sa se non a fis a Guerschon yo selon fanmi pa yo: Libni ak Schimeï;
These were the names of the Gershon's sons by family: Libni and Shimei.
19 Fis a Kehath yo selon fanmi pa yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron ak Uziel;

The total of all males aged one month or older was 7,500.
23 Fanmi a Gèchonit yo te toujou gen pou fè kan dèyè tabènak la nan kote lwès la.

24 Chèf a lakay papa yo pami Gèchonit yo te Élaisaph, fis a Laël la.
The leader of the Gershon families was Eliasaph, son of Lael.
25 Alò, devwa a fis Guerschon yo nan tant asanble a se te tabènak la avèk tant lan, kouvèti li, rido pòtay tant asanble a,
Their assigned responsibility for the Tent of Meeting was to take care of the Tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,

27 Nan Kehath, te sòti fanmi a Amramit yo, fanmi Jitseharit yo, fanmi Ebwonit yo avèk fanmi Izyelit yo. Sila yo se te fanmi a Kehath yo.
The families of Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel came from Kohath. These were the families of Kohath.

The total of all males aged one month or older was 8,600. Their assigned responsibility was to take care of the sanctuary.
29 Fanmi a Kehath yo te gen pou fè kan nan kote sid a tabènak la,
The camp of families of Kohath was on the south side of the Tabernacle.
30 epi chèf a tout kay papa yo pou Kehath yo se te Élitsaphan, fis a Uziel la.
The leader of the Kohath families was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
31 Alò, devwa pa yo se te lach la, tab la, chandelye a, lotèl yo, tout zouti pou sèvis sanktyè a, rido a, ak tout sèvis ki fèt avèk yo.
Their assigned responsibility was to care for the Ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, the veil, and everything connected with these items.
32 Éléazar, fis a Aaron an se te chèf an tèt a chèf Levit yo, e li te responsab pou tout sila ki te fè devwa sanktyè a.
The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest. He was in charge of those responsible for serving in the sanctuary.
33 Nan Merari, te sòti fanmi a Machli yo ak fanmi Muschi yo. Se sa yo ki te fanmi a Merari yo.
The family of Mahli and the family of Mushi came from Merari. These were the families of Merari.
34 Mesye pa yo ki te konte pa tout gason ak laj yon mwa oswa plis yo, te si-mil-de-san.
The total of all males aged one month or older was 6,200.
35 Chèf a lakay papa Merari yo se te Tsuriel, fis a Abihaïl la. Yo te gen pou fè kan sou kote nò a tabènak la.
The leader of the Merari families was Zuriel, son of Abihail. Their camp was on the north side of the Tabernacle.
36 Alò, devwa a fis Merari yo se te pou okipe ankadreman tabènak la, poto li yo, baz reseptikal li yo, tout bagay sa yo avèk sèvis ki konsène yo,
Their assigned responsibility was to take care of the Tabernacle's frames, crossbars, posts, stands, all its equipment, and everything connected with their use,
37 ak pilye ki antoure galeri a, avèk baz reseptikal pa yo avèk pikèt ak kòd yo.
as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their stands, tent pegs, and ropes.
38 Alò, sila ki te gen pou fè kan devan tabènak la vè lès la devan tant asanble a, vè solèy leve a, se te Moïse avèk Aaron avèk fis li yo, ki pou fè devwa sanktyè yo, pou ranpli obligasyon a fis Israël yo. Men nenpòt moun ki pa prèt va vin mete a lanmò si li vin toupre.
The camp of Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons was to the east of the Tabernacle, in the direction of the sunrise, in front of the Tent of Meeting. They were responsible for the sanctuary on behalf of the Israelites. Anyone else who tried to act as a priest was to be executed.
39 Tout mesye ki te konte pami Levit yo, ke Moïse avèk Aaron te konte selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, pa fanmi pa yo, tout gason ki te gen yon mwa oswa plis, te venn-de-mil.
The sum total of Levites registered by Moses and Aaron as the Lord ordered was 22,000. This included all males aged one month or older.
40 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Konte tout gason, premye ne pami fis Israël yo soti nan laj yon mwa oswa plis, e fè yon chif ak non yo.
The Lord told Moses, “Conduct a census of all the firstborn Israelite males aged one month or older, and register their names.
41 Ou va pran Levit yo pou Mwen—Mwen se SENYÈ a—olye de premye ne pami fis Israël yo; ak bèt a Levit yo olye de tout premye ne nan bèt a fis Israël yo.”
Assign the Levites to me. I am the Lord. They are in place of all of the Israelites' firstborn children. The livestock of the Levites are in place of all the Israelites' firstborn livestock.”
42 Konsa, Moïse te konte tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande li a.
Moses conducted a census of all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord had instructed him.
43 Tout premye ne nan gason yo soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, mesye ki te konte pou yo te venn-de-mil-de-san-swasann-trèz22,273
The sum total of the firstborn males a month old or more, registered by name, was 22,273.
44 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The Lord spoke to Moses and told him,
45 “Pran Levit yo olye de tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo ak bèt a Levit yo olye bèt pa yo. Konsa, Levit yo va pou Mwen: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
“You are to take the Levites in place of all the firstborn children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock, because the Levites belong to me. I am the Lord.
46 Pou ranson a de-san-swasann-trèz nan premye ne an Israël ki plis ke Levit yo,
In order to buy back the 273 firstborn Israelites who are more than the number of Levites,
47 ou va pran senk sik pou chak, pa tèt. Ou va pran yo an valè sik sanktyè a (sik la se ven gera),
collect five shekels for each of them, (using the sanctuary shekel standard of twenty gerahs).
48 epi bay Aaron avèk fis li lajan la, ki te peye pou ranson pa Levit yo.”
He handed the money over to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the extra Israelites.”
49 Moïse te pran lajan ranson an ki sòti nan sila ki te anplis sila ki te ransonen pa Levit yo;
Moses collected the redemption money for those extra Israelites that were more than the number redeemed by the Levites.
50 nan men a premye ne a fis Israël yo, li te pran lajan an an valè sik sanktyè a, mil-twa-san-swasann-senk sik.
He collected the money given on behalf of the Israelites' firstborn children. It came to 1,365 shekels, (using the sanctuary shekel standard).
51 Epi Moïse te bay lajan ranson an bay Aaron avèk fis li yo, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
Moses gave this redemption money to Aaron and his sons as the Lord had told him to, following the Lord's instructions.
