Oekyuk 3
1 Pa inge fwilin tulik natul Aaron ac Moses ke pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh kaskas nu sel Moses Fineol Sinai.
This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Oasr wen akosr natul Aaron: Nadab pa matu emeet, na Abihu, Eleazar, ac Ithamar.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Elos akmusrala ac akmutalyeyukla nu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.

Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
6 “Kuhlma sruf lal Levi nu meet uh, ac srisrngelosi tuh elos in mwet kulansap lal Aaron mwet tol.
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
7 Elos ac fah oru orekma ma eneneyuk nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac kulansupu mwet tol oayapa mwet Israel nukewa.
They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.
8 Elos ac fah karingin kufwen mwe orekma nukewa ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac oru orekma ke inen mwet Israel nukewa.
They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
9 Pwayena ma kunen mwet Levi pa in kulansupal Aaron ac wen natul.
Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
10 Kom fah srisrngilya Aaron ac wen natul in oru orekma lun mwet tol; kutena mwet saya su srike in orekma kac ac fah anwuki.”
So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”
11 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Inge nga eis mwet Levi liki inmasrlon mwet Israel tuh elos in eis acn sin wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel. Ouinge mwet Levi nukewa elos ma nutik,
“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,
13 tuh wounse nukewa ma nutik. Ke nga tuh uniya wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Egypt, na nga akmutalye wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel tuh in ma nutik — kewana mwet ac kosro; elos fah ma nutik. Nga, LEUM GOD.”
for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”
