Mitango 3

1 Tala bakitani ya Aron mpe ya Moyize na tango oyo Yawe asololaki na Moyize, na ngomba Sinai.

And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, on the day that the Lord spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.

2 Bakombo ya bana mibali ya Aron ezalaki: Nadabi, mwana ya liboso; Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari.

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, 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 are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, who were consecrated to minister as priests.

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.

And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father.

5 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:

And the Lord spoke unto 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 near, and present the same before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.

7 Bakosalisa ye mpe bakosunga lisanga mobimba liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na kosala misala ya Mongombo.

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 Bakobatela bisalelo nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bakosalisa bana ya Isalaele na nzela ya kosala mosala ya Mongombo.

And they shall keep all the vessels of the tent of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

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 unto Aaron and to his sons: as associates are they given unto him out of the children of Israel.

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. »

And Aaron and his sons shalt thou instruct, that they shall guard well their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

11 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:

And the Lord spoke unto 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.

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel instead of every first-born 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. »

Because mine is every first-born; on the day when I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me every first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be; I am the Lord.

14 Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness 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 children of Levi after their divisions, by their families; every male of them from a month old and upward shalt thou number.

16 Boye, Moyize atangaki bango ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.

And Moses numbered them according to the order of the Lord, as he had been commanded.

And the prince of the family division of the Gershunites was Elyassaph the son of Lael.

Bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule mpo na bolamu ya bana ya Isalaele. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule, basengeli koboma ye.

But those that encamped before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation toward the rising of the sun, were Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that came nigh was to be put to death.

39 Motango nyonso ya Balevi oyo Moyize mpe Aron batangaki kolanda mitindo ya Yawe, mpe bato ya bituka na bango, mibali nyonso kobanda na sanza moko ya mbotama mpe koleka, ezalaki bato nkoto tuku mibale na mibale.

All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses numbered with Aaron, at the order of the Lord, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and 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 unto Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

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 for me, I am the Lord, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among 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 Moses numbered, as the Lord had commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.

And all the first-born males, by the numbering of the names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and seventy and three.

44 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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 instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of 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,

And [for] those that are to be redeemed, the two hundred and seventy and three of the first-born of the children of Israel, who are more than 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 shekels apiece for the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take, twenty gerahs to the shekel;

48 Okopesa mbongo oyo osikoleli bana mibali nyonso, oyo baleki na motango ya Balevi, epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali. »

And thou shalt give unto Aaron and to his sons the money, [for] those who are to be redeemed of those that are over the number of them.

49 Boye Moyize akongolaki mbongo ya lisiko epai ya bato oyo balekaki na motango ya bana liboso oyo Balevi oyo basikolaki.

And Moses took the redemption-money of those that were over in number above those who were redeemed by 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.

Of the first-born of the children of Israel did he take the money; a thousand three hundred and sixty and five shekels, after the shekel 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 Moses gave the money of those who were redeemed unto Aaron and unto his sons, by the order of the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
