Nomery 3
1 Ary izao no taranak’ i Arona sy Mosesy tamin’ ny andro nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy teo an-tendrombohitra Sinay.
Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 Ny anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Arona dia Nadaba lahimatoa sy Abiho ary Eleazara sy Itamara.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, 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, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
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.
Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Ento ny firenen’ i Levy hanatona, ka ampitoero eo anatrehan’ i Arona mpisorona mba hanompo azy.
“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
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.
They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
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.
They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 Ary homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zananilahy ny Levita; efa nomena azy mihitsy avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo.
You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
10 Ary Arona sy ny zananilahy hotendrenao hitandrina ny fisoronany; fa raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.
You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
11 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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,
“Behold, I have taken the Levites from amongst the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb amongst the children of Israel; and the Levites 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 all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
14 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy tany an-efitr’ i Sinay ka nanao hoe:
The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness 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.
“Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
16 Ary Mosesy nandamina azy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, araka izay efa nandidiana azy.
Moses counted them according to the LORD’s word, as he was commanded.
17 Ary izao no zanakalahin’ i Levy, araka ny anarany: Gersona sy Kehata ary Merary.
These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany: Libny sy Simey.

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.
Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites.
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.
According to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.

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 who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
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.
You shall take the Levites for me—I am the LORD—instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the livestock of the children of Israel.”
42 Dia nalamin’ i Mosesy ny lahimatoa rehetra teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
Moses counted, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn amongst the children 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.
All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand and two hundred and seventy-three.
44 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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 instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and 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,
For the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
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 apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
48 Dia homenao an’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny vola ho avotr’ ireo mihoatra isa ireo.
and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
49 Ary Mosesy nandray ny vola izay avotry ny nihoatra isa noho ny voavotry ny Levita;
Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by 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;
from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel 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 Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the LORD’s word, as the LORD commanded Moses.
