1 Ke len se oemeet ke malem se akluo in yac se akluo tukun mwet Israel illa liki acn Egypt, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel yen mwesis Sinai. El fahk,
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness of Sinai. This happened on the first day of the second month during the second year after the people of Israel had come out from the land of Egypt. Yahweh said,
2 “Kom ac Aaron in oru sie oaoa lulap ke sruf ac sou nukewa lun mwet Israel. Simusla inen mukul nukewa
“Conduct a census of all the men of Israel in each clan, in their fathers' families. Count them by name. Count every male, each man
3 yac longoulyak matwa, su ku in wi mweun.
who is twenty years old or older. Count all who can fight as soldiers for Israel. You and Aaron must record the number of men in their armed groups.
4 Sie mwet kol ke kais sie sruf in kasrekomtal.”
A man from each tribe, a clan head, must serve with you as his tribe's leader. Each leader must lead the men who will fight for his tribe.
5 Pa inge inen mwet su ac fah kasreyomtal: Sruf Mwet Kol Reuben Elizur wen natul Shedeur Simeon Shelumiel wen natul Zurishaddai Judah Nashon wen natul Amminadab Issachar Nethanel wen natul Zuar Zebulun Eliab wen natul Helon Ephraim Elishama wen natul Ammihud Manasseh Gamaliel wen natul Pedahzur Benjamin Abidan wen natul Gideoni Dan Ahiezer wen natul Ammishaddai Asher Pagiel wen natul Ochran Gad Eliasaph wen natul Deuel Naphtali Ahira wen natul Enan Pa inge mwet ma solla liki inmasrlon mwet uh in oru oaoa se inge. Elos mwet kol ke kais sie sruf lalos.

Moses and Aaron took these men, who were recorded by name,
18 solani mwet uh nu sie ke len se meet in malem se akluo. Elos simusla inen mwet uh ke sruf lalos ac sou lun papa matu tumalos, ke inen mukul nukewa ma yac longoulyak matwa,
and along with these men they assembled all the men of Israel on the first day of the second month. Then each man twenty years old and older identified his ancestry. He had to name the clans and families descended from his ancestors.
19 oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses. Ouinge el oakalosla in acn mwesis in Sinai.
Then Moses recorded their numbers in the wilderness of Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.

47 Tusruktu, mwet Levi elos tuh tia wi simla inelos in oana sruf saya uh,
But the men who were descended from Levi were not counted,
48 mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
because Yahweh had said to Moses,
49 “Ke pacl se kom oru oaoa lulap ke inen mukul ma fal in wi mweun, nimet sang sruf lal Levi nu kac.
“You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the total of the people of Israel.
50 A kom fah sang sruf Levi in fosrngakin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik ac kufwa nukewa nu kac. Elos fah us ma inge nukewa, ac elos pa ac kulansap loac. Elos in tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos rauneak.
Instead, assign the Levites to care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, and to care for all the furnishings in the tabernacle and for everything in it. The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and make their camp around it.
51 Kutena pacl kowos ac mukuila nu ke sie pacna acn, ma kunen mwet Levi in tuleya Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac sifilpa tulokunak ke nien aktuktuk sasu. Kutena mwet saya su tuku apkuran nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac fah anwuki.
When the tabernacle is to move to another place, the Levites must take it down. When the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any stranger who comes near the tabernacle must be killed.
52 Sruf nukewa sayen sruf lal Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos fal nu ke kais sie u lalos, ac in oasr kais sie flag lun kais sie u.
When the people of Israel set up their tents, each man must do so near the banner that belongs to his armed group.
53 A mwet Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik tuh elos in karingin in wangin sie fah tuku apkuran nu kac ac pwanak kasrkusrak luk uh in putati fin mwet Israel nukewa.”
However, the Levites must set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant decrees so that my anger does not come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees.”
54 Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos oru ma nukewa oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
