Mitango 3
1 Tala bakitani ya Aron mpe ya Moyize na tango oyo Yawe asololaki na Moyize, na ngomba Sinai.
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai.
2 Bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron ezalaki: Nadabi, mwana ya liboso; Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.
And these the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Yango nde bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron, oyo babulisaki na nzela ya kopakola mafuta mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
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 Nadabi mpe Abiyu bakufaki liboso ya Yawe tango bazalaki kobonza mbeka, na nzela ya moto oyo ebulisama te, liboso ya Yawe, na esobe ya Sinai. Batikalaki kozala na bana te. Boye Eleazari mpe Itamari kaka nde batikalaki kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe na bokambami ya tata na bango, Aron.
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 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 « Yeisa libota ya Levi pene ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe pesa bango na maboko na ye mpo ete basunga ye.
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 Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.
And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.
And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.
9 Pesa Balevi na maboko ya Aron mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali; bango nde kati na bana ya Isalaele basengeli komipesa mobimba epai na ye.
And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,
10 Tia Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali pembeni mpo ete basala mosala na bango ya Bonganga-Nzambe. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule, basengeli koboma ye. »
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 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 « Nakamati Ngai moko Balevi kati na bana ya Isalaele na esika ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso, mbuma ya liboso ya libumu ya mwasi nyonso ya Isalaele.
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 Pamba te, bana nyonso ya liboso bazali ya Ngai. Tango nabomaki bana nyonso ya liboso ya Ejipito, natiaki pembeni bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele mpo ete bazala ya Ngai, ezala bana ya bato to ya banyama. Nazali Yawe. »
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 Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
15 « Tanga motango ya Balevi kolanda mabota na bango mpe bituka na bango. Tanga bana mibali nyonso kobanda na ye oyo azali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka. »
Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and upward.

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 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tanga motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, oyo bazali na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, mpe koma bakombo na bango.
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 Okotia Balevi pembeni mpo na Ngai, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele nyonso ya Balevi, na esika ya bana ya liboso ya bibwele nyonso ya Isalaele. Nazali Yawe. »
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 Boye, Moyize atangaki motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.

And the males by their names, from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:
45 « Tia Balevi pembeni, na esika ya bana nyonso ya liboso ya Isalaele, mpe bibwele ya Balevi, na esika ya bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele. Balevi bazali ya Ngai. Nazali Yawe.
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 Mpo na kosikola bana ya liboso ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku sambo na misato oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi,
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 okokongola mbongo ya bibende, nkama mitano, kolanda ndenge batangaka mbongo kati na Esika ya bule, mpo na moto moko na moko. Mbongo moko ya ebende esengeli kozala na bagrame zomi na mibale.
Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.
49 Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.
Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,
50 Azwaki na maboko ya bana liboso ya Isalaele mbongo ya bibende nkoto moko na nkama misato na tuku motoba na mitano kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Esika ya bule.
For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,
51 Bongo Moyize apesaki mbongo yango ya lisiko epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
And gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
