In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
2 Tsitsiho vali-boke i valobohòn’ ana’ Israeley, amo fifokoa’ iareoo, naho amo anjomban-droae’eo hamoliliañe o tahina’eo, ze hene lahilahy ki-loha’e ki-loha’e,
“I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
3 roapolo taoñe mañambone mahafionjo hialy ho a Israele. Ihe naho i Aharone ty hañiake iareo ty amo mpirai-lian-defo’eo.
4 Le hindre ama’ areo t’indaty boak’ amy ze hene fifokoa’e, songa talèn’ anjomban-droae’e.
[I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
5 Le zao ty tahina’ ondaty hifanehak’ ama’ areo: amy Reòbene: i Elitsore ana’ i Sedeore;

16 Ie ro jinoboñe amy valobohòkey, ie mpiaolo o fifokoan-droae’eo, mpifelek’ arivo’ Israele.
Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
17 Aa le rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone indaty tinoñon-tahinañe rey,
Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
18 naho natonto’ iareo i hene valobohòkey ami’ty andro valoha’ i volam-paharoey vaho niantoñoñe an-tariratse añ’ anjomban-droae’e, naho nisokiran-tahinañe vaho nivolileñe mifototse ami’ty roapolo taoñe mañambone, ki-loha ki-loha,
and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
19 ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà amy Mosè ty nanoe’e valiboke an-dratraratra’ i Sinay añe.
just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
20 Le amo tarira’ i Reòbene tañoloñoloña’ Israeleo, ty fiantoño’e, amo fifokoa’eo, amo anjomban-droae’eo, ty ia’ o tahina’eo, ze lahilahy ki-loha ki-loha, niaheñe roapolo taoñe mañambone, ze hene nahafionjom-bañ’aly;
This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

44 Ie o vinolilio, o niahe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone, naho o mpiaolo’ Israeleoo, ondaty folo ro’ amby, songa sorotàn’ anjomban-droae’e.
That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
45 Aa le ze niaheñe amo ana’ Israeleo, amo anjomban-droae’eo, ie niroapolo taoñe mañambone, o nahafionjom-bañ’aly ho a Israeleo;
46 ze hene vinolily, le enen-ketse-tsi-telo arivo-tsi-liman-jato-tsi-limampolo.
The total was 603,550 men.
47 Tsy niaheñe am’ iereo ami’ty fifokoan-droae’ iareo o nte-Levio.
But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
48 Fa hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
49 Ko iahe’o ty fifokoa’ i Levy, le tsy ho volilie’o amo ana’ Israeleo,
“When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
50 f’ie ho tendrè’o amy kibohom-pañinay, amo harao’e iabio naho amy ze he’e ama’e, hitarazo i kivohoy naho o harao’e iabio; ho vandroñe’ iereo vaho hitobe hiarikoboñe aze.
Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
51 Aa ie hionjom-beo i kivohoy le o nte-Levio ro hampikatrak’ aze; ie haoreñe ka i kivohoy le o nte-Levio ty hampitroatse aze. Havetrake t’indaty ila’e mañarivo ama’e.
Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
52 Hañoreñe o kiboho’ iareoo o ana’ Israeleo songa an-kitòbe’e; sindre aman-tsai’e, amo mpirai-lia’eo;
The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
53 fe hitobe añariari’ i kibohom-pañinay o nte-Levio, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe i valobohò’ Israeley; le ho mpamandroñe i kibohom-pañinay o nte-Levio.
But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
54 Nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo izay; ze hene nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè ty nanoe’ iereo.
So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
