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 « Tanga motango ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele kolanda mabota na bango mpe bituka na bango; mpe koma bakombo ya mibali nyonso, moto moko na moko.
“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
3 Yo mpe Aron, bokotanga motango ya mibali oyo bazali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, ba-oyo nyonso bazali na makoki ya kosala mosala ya soda kati na Isalaele; bokotanga bango kolanda milongo na bango ya mampinga.
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 Kati na libota moko na moko, ekozala na mobali moko mpo na kosunga bino: asengeli kozala mokambi ya etuka na ye.
And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.

47 Nzokande batangaki te nzela moko na mabota mosusu motango ya bato ya libota ya Levi.
The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
48 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
For the LORD had said to Moses:
49 « Kotanga te motango ya bato ya libota ya Levi, kokotisa bango te na molongo ya bato mosusu ya Isalaele.
“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
50 Okopesa na bato ya libota ya Levi mokumba ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpe ya bisalelo na yango nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaka kati na Mongombo. Bango bakozwa mokumba ya komemaka yango elongo na bisalelo na yango mpe bakovanda zingazinga na yango.
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 Tango nyonso Mongombo ekolongwa na esika moko mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, Balevi nde bakolongola yango; mpe tango ekotelema, bango mpe kaka nde bakotelemisa yango. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pembeni na yango asengeli kokufa.
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 Bana ya Isalaele bakotelemisa bandako na bango ya kapo kolanda milongo na bango ya mampinga, mpe moto na moto akozala kati na molako na ye, na se ya bendele na ye.
The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
53 Kasi bato ya libota ya Levi bakotelemisa bandako na bango ya kapo zingazinga ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpo ete kanda makasi ya Yawe ekoka kokweya likolo ya lisanga ya bana ya Isalaele te. Bato ya libota ya Levi nde bakosala mosala ya kobatela Mongombo ya Litatoli. »
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 Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo oyo nyonso, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
