Okubala 1

1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’ayogera ne Musa mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omu mwezi ogwokubiri ogw’omwaka ogwokubiri kasookedde abaana ba Isirayiri bava mu nsi y’e Misiri. N’amugamba nti:

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 “Bala ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ng’obategeka mu bika byabwe, ne mu mpya zaabwe, ng’owandiika erinnya lya buli musajja kinnoomu ku lukalala.

“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.

3 Ggwe ne Alooni mujja kutegeka abasajja bonna ab’omu Isirayiri abawezezza emyaka amakumi abiri egy’obukulu n’okusingawo, abatuuse okuyingira mu magye, mubabalire mu bibinja byabwe.

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 Munaayambibwako omusajja omu omu okuva mu buli kika, nga ye mukulu w’oluggya lwa bajjajjaabe.

And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.

5 “Gano ge mannya g’abasajja abajja okubayambako: “Aliva mu kika kya Lewubeeni ye Erizuuli mutabani wa Sedewuli;

These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

16 Abo be basajja abaalondebwa okuva mu kibiina, nga be bakulembeze ab’ebika bya bajjajjaabwe. Abo nga be bakulu b’ebika bya Isirayiri.

These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.

17 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne batwala abasajja abo abaatuddwa amannya gaabwe,

So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

18 ne bakuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abantu bonna ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omu mwezi ogwokubiri. Awo abantu bonna ne beewandiisa mu bujjajja bwabwe ne mu bika byabwe awamu ne mu mpya zaabwe. Abasajja abo abaali bawezezza emyaka amakumi abiri egy’obukulu n’okusingawo, amannya gaabwe ne gawandiikibwa kinnoomu ku lukalala,

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,

And all those counted totaled 603,550.

47 Abazzukulu ab’omu mpya ez’omu bika ebirala bwe baali babalibwa, bo ab’omu kika kya Leevi tebaabalibwa.

The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.

48 Kubanga Mukama Katonda yali agambye Musa nti,

For the LORD had said to Moses:

49 “Ab’omu kika kya Leevi tababalanga wadde okubagatta awamu n’emiwendo gy’abaana ba Isirayiri abalala.”

“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.

50 Era n’amugamba nti, “Naye Abaleevi obawanga omulimu ogw’okulabirira Eweema ey’Endagaano n’ebintu byamu byonna awamu ne byonna ebigigenderako. Banaasitulanga Eweema n’ebyamu byonna, banaagirabiriranga era banaasiisiranga okugyetooloola.

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 Eweema bw’eneebanga etwalibwa mu kifo ekirala, Abaleevi be banaagisimbulanga, era bwe kineetaagisanga okugissa mu kifo awalala, Abaleevi be banaagisimbangawo. Omuntu omulala yenna bw’anaagisembereranga anaafanga.

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 Abaana ba Isirayiri banaasiisiranga mu bibinja, nga buli musajja ali mu lusiisira lwe n’ebendera ye ku bubwe.

The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.

53 Naye Abaleevi bo banaasimbanga eweema zaabwe okwebungulula Eweema ey’Endagaano, abaana ba Isirayiri baleme kutuukibwako busungu bwa Mukama. Abaleevi be banaabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okulabirira Eweema ey’Endagaano.”

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 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola ebyo byonna nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.

Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
