On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
2 “Gaa gụọ ma chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom niile e nwere nʼetiti ọgbakọ Izrel, dịka ebo ha na agbụrụ ha si dị, na dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dịkwa. Depụta aha nwoke ọbụla nʼotu na otu.
“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
3 Gị na Erọn ga-agụkọta ndị ikom Izrel niile gbara iri afọ abụọ maọbụ karịa ọnụ, bụ ndị tozuru ije agha. Unu ga-edo ha nʼusuu, nʼusuu.
You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
4 Otu nwoke, site nʼebo Izrel ọbụla, onye bụ onyendu ezinaụlọ, ga-esonyere unu nʼọrụ a.

47 A gụnyekọtaghị ọnụọgụgụ ebo nna nna Livayị nʼịgụ ọnụ a,
The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
48 nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, sị,
For the LORD had said to Moses:
49 “Ị gaghị agụ ndị ebo Livayị ọnụ. Ị gakwaghị agbakọnye ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị Izrel.
“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
50 Kama, ị ga-ahọpụta ndị Livayị ka ha bụrụ ndị nlekọta ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama, na ngwongwo niile, na ihe niile dị nye ya. Ọ bụ ha ga-ebu ụlọ nzute ahụ na ngwongwo ya niile: ha ga na-elekọta ihe banyere ya, ọ bụkwa gburugburu ya ka ha ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha.
Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
51 Mgbe ọbụla kwa a ga-ebugharị ya maka njem, ọ bụ ọrụ ha iweda ya. Mgbe ọbụla a ga-eguzo ya ọtọ, ọ bụkwa ọrụ ndị Livayị iguzobe ya ọtọ. Onye ọbụla ọzọ ga-abịa nso ka a ga-egbu.
Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
52 Ebo Izrel ndị ọzọ ga-enwe ebe dị iche nye onwe ha, ebe ha ga-ewu ụlọ ikwu ha. Ha ga-akwụbakwa ọkọlọtọ nke ha, igosi aha ebo ha.
The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
53 Ndị Livayị ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha gburugburu ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama ahụ, ka iwe ọkụ m ghara ịbịakwasị nʼahụ nzukọ ụmụ Izrel. Ọ bụ ọrụ ndị Livayị ilekọta ụlọ nzute Ihe Ama ahụ.”
But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Ya mere, Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
