Nomery 3
1 Ary izao no taranak’ i Arona sy Mosesy tamin’ ny andro nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy teo an-tendrombohitra Sinay.
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
2 Ny anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Arona dia Nadaba lahimatoa sy Abiho ary Eleazara sy Itamara.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Ireo no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Arona, dia ny mpisorona voahosotra, izay natokana hanao fisoronana.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
4 Fa maty teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Nadaba sy Abiho tamin’ izy nanatitra afo tsy izy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tany an-efitr’ i Sinay, sady samy tsy nanan-janaka izy mirahalahy; ary Eleazara sy Itamara no nanao fisoronana teo anatrehan’ i Arona rainy.
For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.
5 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 Ento ny firenen’ i Levy hanatona, ka ampitoero eo anatrehan’ i Arona mpisorona mba hanompo azy.
“Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
7 Dia hitandrina ny anjara-raharahan’ i Arona sy ny anjara raharahan’ ny fiangonana rehetra eo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, ka hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny tabernakely.
and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 Dia hitandrina ny fanaka rehetra momba ny trano-lay fihaonana sy ny anjara-raharahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy ka hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny tabernakely.
and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
9 Ary homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zananilahy ny Levita; efa nomena azy mihitsy avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo.
And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.
10 Ary Arona sy ny zananilahy hotendrenao hitandrina ny fisoronany; fa raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”
11 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 Indro, Izaho efa naka ny Levita avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra izay voalohan-teraka eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: dia Ahy ny Levita,
“I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
13 satria Ahy ny lahimatoa rehetra; tamin’ ilay andro namelezako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta no nanamasinako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra eo amin’ ny Isiraely ho Ahy, na olona, na biby fiompy: Ahy ireo; Izaho no Jehovah.
For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy tany an-efitr’ i Sinay ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
15 Alamino ny Levita araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony; ny lahy rehetra eo aminy hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra no halaminao.
“Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
16 Ary Mosesy nandamina azy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, araka izay efa nandidiana azy.
Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
17 Ary izao no zanakalahin’ i Levy, araka ny anarany: Gersona sy Kehata ary Merary.
and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
18 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany: Libny sy Simey.
The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
19 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Kehata, araka ny fianakaviany, dia Amrama sy Jizara sy Hebrona ary Oziela.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
20 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Merary, araka ny fianakaviany, dia Maly sy Mosy. Ireo no fokon’ ny Levita, araka ny fianakaviany.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
21 Avy tamin’ i Gersona ny fokon’ ny Libnita sy ny Simeita: Ireo no fokon’ ny Gersonita.
From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
22 Ary izay nalamina, araka ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia diman-jato amby fito arivo.
The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
23 Ny fokon’ ny Gersonita dia hitoby eo ivohon’ ny tabernakely, dia eo andrefany.
These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
24 Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Gersonka dia Efiasafa, zanak’ i Laela.
under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25 Ary ny anjara-raharahan’ ny zanak’ i Gersona eo amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana dia ny tabernakely sy ny lay sy ny firakony sy ny varavarana lamba amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
26 ary ny fefi-lamban’ ny kianja sy ny vavahady lamba amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja, izay manodidina ny tabernakely sy ny alitara, ary ny kofehy rehetra momba azy.
the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.
27 Ary avy tamin’ i Kehata ny fokon’ ny Amramita sy ny fokon’ ny Jizarita sy ny fokon’ ny Hebronita ary ny fokon’ ny Ozielita; ireo no fokon’ ny Kehatita.
The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,
28 Ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, izay mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna, dia enin-jato amby valo arivo.
all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
29 Ny fokon’ ny zanak’ i Kehata dia hitoby eo amin’ ny lafiny atsimo amin’ ny tabernakely.
and they shall encamp toward the south side.
30 Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fokon’ ny Kehatita dia Elisafana, zanak’ i Oziela.
And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
31 Ary ny anjara-raharahany dia ny fiara sy ny latabatra sy ny fanaovan-jiro sy ny alitara roa, ary ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna, izay fanaovana fanompoam-pivavahana, ary ny varavarana lamba mbamin’ ny zavatra rehetra fanaovana ny fanompoana momba azy.
And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.
32 Ary ny lehiben’ ny lohan’ ny Levita dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, izay lehiben’ ny mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin’ ny fitoerana masìna.
But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.
33 Avy tamin’ i Merary ny fokon’ ny Malita sy ny fokon’ ny Mosita; Ireo no fokon’ i Merary.
And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
34 Ary izay nalamina, araka ny isan’ ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia roan-jato amby enina arivo,
all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.
35 Ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fokon’ i Merary dia Zoriela, zanak’ i Abihaila; ireo no hitoby eo amin’ ny lafiny avaratra amin’ ny tabernakely.
Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
36 Ary ny anjara-raharahan’ ny zanak’ i Merary dia ny zana-kazo amin’ ny tabernakely sy ny barany sy ny andriny ary ny faladiany, ary ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, sy ny zavatra rehetra enti-manao fanompoana ao,
Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,
37 ary ny tsangantsangan’ ny kianja manodidina sy ny faladiany sy ny tsimany ary ny kofehiny.
and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
38 Ary ny mitoby eo anoloan’ ny tabernakely atsinanany, dia eo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro, dia Mosesy sy Arona ary ny zanany, izay mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna, dia ny anjara-raharahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.
39 Ny tontalin’ izay nalamina avy tamin’ ny Levita, dia izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah, avy tamin’ ny fokony, ny lahy rehetra hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, dia roa arivo amby roa alina.
All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand.
40 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Alamino ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, ka alao isa ny anarany.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
41 Ary alao ho Ahy ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Izaho no Jehovah; ary ny biby fiompin’ ny Levita ho solon’ ny voalohan-teraka rehetra amin’ ny biby fiompin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”
42 Dia nalamin’ i Mosesy ny lahimatoa rehetra teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
43 Ary ny lahimatoa rehetra, araka ny anarany tsirairay hatramin’ ny iray volana no ho miakatra, izay nalamina avy taminy dia telo amby fito-polo sy roan-jato sy roa arivo sy roa alina.
And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
44 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
45 Alao ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ny biby fiompin’ ny Levita ho solon’ ny biby fiompiny: Ahy ny Levita; Izaho no Jehovah.
“Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
46 Ary ny amin’ ny avotry ny telo amby fito-polo sy roan-jato amin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay mihoatra isa noho ny Levita,
But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
47 dia hangalanao sekely dimy isan-olona; araka ny sekely masìna no hangalanao azy (gera roa-polo ny sekely iray).
you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
48 Dia homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny vola ho avotr’ ireo mihoatra isa ireo.
And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
49 Ary Mosesy nandray ny vola izay avotry ny nihoatra isa noho ny voavotry ny Levita;
Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
50 tamin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely no nandraisany ny vola, dia sekely dimy amby enim-polo sy telon-jato sy arivo, araka ny sekely masìna;
in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
51 dia nomen’ i Mosesy an’ i Arona sy ny zanany izany vola avotra izany, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, dia araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
