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 “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.
“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 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.
4 Otu nwoke, site nʼebo Izrel ọbụla, onye bụ onyendu ezinaụlọ, ga-esonyere unu nʼọrụ a.
[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 “Ndị a bụ aha ndị ikom ndị ahụ ga-enyere unu aka. “Site nʼebo Ruben, Elizọ na Shedeua,

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.

Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,

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 dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye Mosis nʼiwu. Otu a kwa ka Mosis si gụọ ha ọnụ nʼọzara Saịnaị.

The total was 603,550 men.
47 A gụnyekọtaghị ọnụọgụgụ ebo nna nna Livayị nʼịgụ ọnụ a,
But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
48 nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, sị,
because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
49 “Ị gaghị agụ ndị ebo Livayị ọnụ. Ị gakwaghị agbakọnye ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị Izrel.
“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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ya mere, Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
