Ọnụọgụgụ 3
1 Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Erọn na Mosis nʼoge Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼugwu Saịnaị.
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai.
2 Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, Nadab, ọkpara ya, Abihu, Elieza na Itama.
And these the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, ndị e tere mmanụ ịbụ ndị nchụaja, ndị e doro nsọ nʼihi ije ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
These the names of the sons of Aaron the priests that were anointed, and whose hands were filled and consecrated, to do the functions of priesthood.
4 Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka Nadab na Abihu nwụọ, nʼihu ya nʼime ọzara Saịnaị, mgbe ha ji ọkụ na-adịghị nsọ wetara ya onyinye. Ebe ọ bụ na ha amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom nke aka ha, ọ bụ naanị Elieza na Itama jere ozi dịka ndị nchụaja ogologo ụbọchị ndụ nna ha bụ Erọn.
Now Nadab and Abiu died, without children, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the desert of Sinai: and Eleazar and Ithamar performed the priestly office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 “Kpọkọtaa ebo Livayị niile were ha nyefee Erọn onye nchụaja nʼaka, ka ha bụrụ ndị inyeaka ya.
Bring the tribe of Levi, and make them stand in the sight of Aaron the priest to minister to him, and let them watch,
7 Ha ga-ejere ya na nzukọ Izrel niile ozi nʼụlọ nzute ahụ site na ịrụ ọrụ metụtara ebe obibi ahụ.
And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 Ha ga-elekọta ngwongwo ụlọ nzute, rụọ ọrụ metụtara ndị Izrel niile mgbe ha na-eje ozi ha nʼebe obibi ahụ.
And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.
9 Were ndị Livayị nyefee Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼaka. Ọ bụ ha ka a ga-esi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel nyefee ha nʼaka kpamkpam.
And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,
10 Họpụta Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha bụrụ ndị na-eje ozi dịka ndị nchụaja. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara nso ebe nsọ ahụ ka a ga-egbu.”
To Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered by the children of Israel. But thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The stranger that approacheth to minister, shall be put to death.
11 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Anarala m ndị Livayị dịka ndị nọchitere anya ụmụ ndị ikom mbụ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti ndị Izrel. Ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m.
I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
13 Nʼihi na ihe niile meghere akpanwa bụ nke m. Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m gburu ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt ka m doro ụmụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ndị Izrel nsọ nye onwe m, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ bụ nke m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
For every firstborn is mine: since I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt: I have sanctified to myself whatsoever is firstborn in Israel both of man and beast, they are mine: I am the Lord.
14 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼọzara Saịnaị sị ya,
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:

All the Levites, that Moses and Aaron numbered according to the precept of the Lord, by their families, of the male kind from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
40 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Gụọ ndị ikom Izrel niile e buru ụzọ mụọ, ndị dị site nʼotu ọnwa gbagoo. Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ha, dee aha ha niile nʼakwụkwọ.
And the Lord said to Moses: Number the firstborn of the male sex of the children of Israel, from one month and upward, and thou shalt take the sum of them.
41 Nabata ndị Livayị ka ha bụrụ nke m nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụrụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ọzọkwa, anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile bụ nke m, nʼọnọdụ ụmụ mbụ nke anụ ụlọ niile a mụrụ nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Izrel niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
And thou shalt take the Levites to me for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattle for all the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel:
42 Ya mere, Mosis gụrụ ndị ikom niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu,
Moses reckoned up, as the Lord had commanded, the firstborn of the children of Israel:

And the males by their names, from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
44 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:
45 “Nye m ndị Livayị nʼọnọdụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Nyekwa m anụ ụlọ ndị Livayị niile nʼọnọdụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼIzrel. Ndị Livayị bụ nke m. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
Take the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
46 Ihe a ga-eji gbara narị ụmụ ndị ikom Izrel abụọ na iri ndị ikom asaa, na atọ ndị e buru ụzọ mụọ mapụtara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị
But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of the Levites,
47 bụ ego ruru shekel ise, na isi onye ọbụla, ụdị shekel ebe nsọ, nke ọtụtụ ya bụ iri gera abụọ.
Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
48 Were ego mgbapụta a nye Erọn na ụmụ ndị ikom ya.”
And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.
49 Ya mere, Mosis natara ego mgbapụta ahụ nʼisi onye ọbụla dị nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị ahụ mara nʼelu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Livayị.
Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,
50 Ego niile ọ natara site nʼaka ndị ikom Izrel niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ ọlaọcha ruru puku shekel na narị shekel atọ na iri isii na ise, dịka ihe ọtụtụ shekel ebe nsọ si dị.
For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,
51 Mosis nyere Erọn na ụmụ ya ego mgbapụta ndị a dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
And gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
