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,
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 “Kom ac Aaron in oru sie oaoa lulap ke sruf ac sou nukewa lun mwet Israel. Simusla inen mukul nukewa
“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
3 yac longoulyak matwa, su ku in wi mweun.
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 Sie mwet kol ke kais sie sruf in kasrekomtal.”
And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
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.

17 Mwet singoul luo inge elos kasrel Moses ac Aaron
So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated 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 on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,
19 oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses. Ouinge el oakalosla in acn mwesis in Sinai.
just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:
20 Simla inen mukul nukewa ma yac longoulyak matwa ma ku in wi mweun, fal nu ke sruf ac sou lalos, mutawauk ke sruf lal Reuben, su matu emeet sin tulik natul Israel. Pa inge takla lun sruf ac pisalos: Sruf Pisalos Reuben 46,500 Simeon 59,300 Gad 45,650 Judah 74,600 Issachar 54,400 Zebulun 57,400 Ephraim 40,500 Manasseh 32,200 Benjamin 35,400 Dan 62,700 Asher 41,500 Naphtali 53,400 Pisa lulap: mukul onfoko tolu tausin ac lumfoko lumngaul.

So all the Israelites twenty years of age or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.
And all those counted totaled 603,550.
47 Tusruktu, mwet Levi elos tuh tia wi simla inelos in oana sruf saya uh,
The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
48 mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
For the LORD 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.
“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
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, 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 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.
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 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.
The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
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.”
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 Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos oru ma nukewa oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
