< Okubala 3 >

1 Luno lwe lulyo lwa Alooni n’olwa Musa mu biseera Mukama mwe yayogerera ne Musa ku Lusozi Sinaayi.
And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH’s speaking with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Alooni: Nadabu, omubereberye, ne Abiku, ne Eriyazaali, ne Isamaali.
And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;
3 Ago ge mannya ga batabani ba Alooni, abaafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni okuba bakabona, era abaayawulibwa okuweereza mu mulimu gw’obwakabona.
these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.
4 Naye nno Nadabu ne Abiku baatondokera mu maaso ga Mukama ne bafa, kubanga baayokya ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda n’omuliro ogutakkirizibwa nga bali mu ddungu ly’e Sinaayi. Tebaalina baana; bwe batyo, Eriyazaali ne Isamaali ne basigala nga be bokka abaaweerezanga nga bakabona ebbanga lyonna kitaabwe Alooni lye yamala nga mulamu.
And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron.
5 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Leeta ab’omu kika kya Leevi obakwase Alooni kabona bamuweerezenga.
“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
7 Banaamukoleranga emirimu era ne baweereza n’ekibiina kyonna awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakola emirimu awali Eweema ya Mukama.
and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
8 Banaalabiriranga ebintu byonna eby’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bakola emirimu gy’omu Weema ya Mukama nga batuukiriza ebyo byonna ebivunaanyizibwa abaana ba Isirayiri.
and they have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
9 Abaleevi onoobawanga eri Alooni ne batabani be; baweereddwa ddala Alooni nga baggyibwa mu baana ba Isirayiri.
and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.
10 Onoolonda Alooni ne batabani be okubeera bakabona; naye bwe wanaabangawo omuntu omulala yenna n’asembera awatukuvu, anaafanga.”
And you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.”
11 Mukama Katonda n’ayongera okugamba Musa nti,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
12 “Laba, neetwalidde Abaleevi nga mbaggya mu baana ba Isirayiri mu kifo ky’abaana ababereberye abazaalibwa abakazi mu baana ba Isirayiri. Abaleevi banaabanga bange,
“And I, behold, have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
13 kubanga byonna ebizaalibwa ebibereberye byange. Bwe natta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri neeyawulira ebibereberye byonna mu Isirayiri okubeeranga ebyange, abantu n’ebisolo. Nze Mukama Katonda.”
for every firstborn [is] Mine, in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel, from man to beast; they are Mine; I [am] YHWH.”
14 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa mu ddungu ly’e Sinaayi nti,
And YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 “Bala Abaleevi bonna mu mpya zaabwe ne mu bika byabwe. Bala buli mwana mulenzi ow’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo.”
“Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward—you number them.”
16 Bw’atyo Musa n’ababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
And Moses numbers them according to the command of YHWH, as he has been commanded.
17 Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Leevi: Gerusoni, ne Kokasi, ne Merali.

and you have taken the Levites for Me (I [am] YHWH), instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of every firstling among the livestock of the sons of Israel.”
