Okubala 3
1 Luno lwe lulyo lwa Alooni n’olwa Musa mu biseera Mukama mwe yayogerera ne Musa ku Lusozi Sinaayi.
Now this is the history of the descendants of Aaron and Moses when Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Alooni: Nadabu, omubereberye, ne Abiku, ne Eriyazaali, ne Isamaali.
The names of Aaron's sons were Nadab the firstborn, 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 priests who were anointed and who were ordained to serve as priests.
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.
But Nadab and Abihu fell dead before Yahweh when they offered to him unacceptable fire in the wilderness of Sinai. Nadab and Abihu had no children, so just Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with Aaron their father.
5 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 “Leeta ab’omu kika kya Leevi obakwase Alooni kabona bamuweerezenga.
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest for them to help him.
7 Banaamukoleranga emirimu era ne baweereza n’ekibiina kyonna awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakola emirimu awali Eweema ya Mukama.
They must perform the duties on behalf of Aaron and the whole community before the tent of meeting. They must serve in the tabernacle.
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.
They must care for all the furnishings in the tent of meeting, and they must help the tribes of Israel to carry out the tabernacle service.
9 Abaleevi onoobawanga eri Alooni ne batabani be; baweereddwa ddala Alooni nga baggyibwa mu baana ba Isirayiri.
You must give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are wholly given to help him serve the people of Israel.
10 Onoolonda Alooni ne batabani be okubeera bakabona; naye bwe wanaabangawo omuntu omulala yenna n’asembera awatukuvu, anaafanga.”
You must appoint Aaron and his sons as priests, but any foreigner who comes near must be put to death.”
11 Mukama Katonda n’ayongera okugamba Musa nti,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
12 “Laba, neetwalidde Abaleevi nga mbaggya mu baana ba Isirayiri mu kifo ky’abaana ababereberye abazaalibwa abakazi mu baana ba Isirayiri. Abaleevi banaabanga bange,
“Look, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel. I have done this instead of taking each firstborn male who is born among the people of Israel. The Levites belong to me.
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.”
All the firstborn belong to me. On the day that I attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set apart for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both people and animals. They belong to me. I am Yahweh.”
14 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa mu ddungu ly’e Sinaayi nti,
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai. He said,
15 “Bala Abaleevi bonna mu mpya zaabwe ne mu bika byabwe. Bala buli mwana mulenzi ow’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo.”
“Count the descendants of Levi in each family, in their clans. Count every male who is one month old and older.”
16 Bw’atyo Musa n’ababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
Moses counted them, following the word of Yahweh, just as he was commanded to do.
17 Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Leevi: Gerusoni, ne Kokasi, ne Merali.
The names of Levi's sons were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

28 Abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu ogw’obukulu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa baali kanaana mu lukaaga. Abakokasi be baweebwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga awatukuvu.

Moses and Aaron and his sons must camp on the east side of the tabernacle, in front of the tent of meeting, toward the sunrise. They are responsible for the fulfillment of the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the people of Israel. Any foreigner who approaches the sanctuary must be put to death.
39 Omuwendo gwonna ogw’Abaleevi abaabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali, nga mwe muli abaana aboobulenzi okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni, baali emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri.
Moses and Aaron counted all the males in the clans of Levi who were aged one month old and older, just as Yahweh commanded. They counted twenty-two thousand men.
40 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Bala abaana ba Isirayiri bonna aboobulenzi ababereberye okuva ku mwana ow’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo okole olukalala lw’amannya gaabwe gonna.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the people of Israel who are aged one month old and older. List their names.
41 Era ojja kunfunira Abaleevi mu kifo ky’ababereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri, era onfunire n’ente ez’Abaleevi mu kifo ky’ente ez’abaana ba Isirayiri embereberye. Nze Mukama Katonda.”
You must take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn of the people of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of the firstborn of the livestock of the descendants of Israel.”
42 Awo Musa n’abala abaana ba Isirayiri ababereberye nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira.
Moses counted all the firstborn people of Israel as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
43 Okugatta awamu abaana aboobulenzi ababereberye bonna okuva ku w’omwezi ogumu n’okusingawo abaabalibwa, nga n’amannya gaabwe gawandiikiddwa ku lukalala, baali emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri mu ebikumi bibiri mu nsanvu mu basatu.
He counted all the firstborn males by name, aged one month old and older. He counted 22,273 men.
44 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
45 “Nfunira Abaleevi badde mu kifo ky’abaana ba Isirayiri ababereberye, n’ente z’Abaleevi zidde mu kifo ky’ente z’abaana ba Isirayiri, era Abaleevi banaabanga bange. Nze Mukama Katonda.
“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel, and take the Levites' livestock instead of the people's livestock. The Levites belong to me—I am Yahweh.
46 Okununula ababereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri ebikumi ebibiri mu ensanvu mu abasatu abasukkirira ku muwendo gw’Abaleevi abasajja,
You must collect five shekels for the redemption of each of the 273 firstborn people of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites.
47 onoddiranga gulaamu amakumi ataano mu ttaano ku buli omu, ng’ogeraageranyiza ku gulaamu kkumi n’emu ey’awatukuvu nga bw’eri, ye sekeri ey’obuzito ze gulaamu kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu.
You must use the shekel of the sanctuary as your standard weight. The shekel equals twenty gerahs.
48 Ensimbi ez’okununula abaana ba Isirayiri abasukkiriramu oziwanga Alooni ne batabani be.”
You must give the price of redemption that you paid to Aaron and his sons.”
49 Bw’atyo Musa n’asolooza ensimbi ez’okwenunula ku abo abaasukkirira ku muwendo gw’abo abaanunulibwa Abaleevi.
So Moses collected the payment of redemption from those who exceeded the number of those redeemed by the Levites.
50 Yasolooza ku babereberye ab’abaana ba Isirayiri effeeza ey’obuzito obwa kilo kkumi na ttaano n’ekitundu, ng’engeraageranya ya sekeri y’awatukuvu bw’eri.
Moses collected the money from the firstborn of the people of Israel. He collected 1,365 shekels, weighing with the shekel of the sanctuary.
51 Musa n’addira ensimbi ez’okwenunula n’aziwa Alooni ne batabani be, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons. Moses did everything he was told to do by Yahweh's word, as Yahweh had commanded him.
