Tauanga 3

1 Na ko nga whakatupuranga ano hoki enei a Arona raua ko Mohi i te ra i korero ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi i Maunga Hinai.

This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

2 Ko nga ingoa hoki enei o nga tama a Arona: ko Natapa, ko te matamua, ratou ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Arona, o nga tohunga i whakawahia, i whakatohungatia nei e ia hei tohunga,

These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.

4 I mate hoki a Natapa raua ko Apihu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i ta raua whakaherenga i te ahi ke ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te koraha o Hinai, kahore ano hoki a raua tamariki: a i mahi a Ereatara raua ko Itamara i nga mahi a te tohunga i te tirohanga ma i a to raua papa, a Arona.

Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

5 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

6 Whakatataia mai te iwi o Riwai, whakaturia hoki ki te aroaro o Arona tohunga, kia mahi aia ratou ki a ia.

“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.

7 A ma ratou e tiaki nga mea hei tiakanga mana, hei tiakanga hoki ma te whakaminenga katoa, ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, e mahi hoki nga mahi o te tapenakara.

They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.

8 Ma ratou ano e tiaki nga mea katoa o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga mea hei tiakanga ma nga tama a Iharaira, kia mahi ai hoki nga mahi o te tapenakara.

They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.

9 A me hoatu e koe nga Riwaiti ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama: e hoatutia katoatia ana ratou ki a ia mo nga tama a Iharaira.

Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.

10 Me whakarite ano e koe a Arona ratou ko ana tama, a ka u ratou ki ta ratou mahi tohunga: ko te tangata ke e whakatata mai ka whakamatea.

So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”

11 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

12 Ko ahau nei, nana, kua tango ahau i nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira hei utu mo nga matamua katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: maku hoki nga Riwaiti;

“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,

13 No te mea, naku nga matamua katoa; no te ra ano i patu ai ahau i nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i nga matamua katoa a Iharaira maku, i a te tangata, i a te kararehe: maku era: ko Ihowa ahau.

for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”

14 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i te koraha o Hinai, i mea,

Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 Taua nga tama a Riwai, tenei whare, tenei whare o o ratou matua, tenei hapu, tenei hapu o ratou: me tatau ratou e koe, nga tane katoa kotahi nei te marama, ahu atu.

“Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”

16 Na ka taua ratou e Mohi ka peratia me ta Ihowa i ki ai, i whakahau ai.

So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.

17 A ko nga tama enei a Riwai me o ratou ingoa; ko Kerehona, ko Kohata, ko Merari.

These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

18 A ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Kerehona, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou; ko Ripini raua ko Himei.

These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.

19 Me nga tama a Kohata, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou; ko Amarama, ko Itihara, ko Heperona, ko Utiere.

20 Me nga tama a Merari, o tenei hapu, o tenei hapu o ratou: ko Mahari, ko Muhi. Ko nga hapu enei o nga Riwaiti, o tenei whare, o tenei whare o o ratou matua.

And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.

21 Na Kerehona te hapu o nga Ripini, me te hapu o nga Himei: ko nga hapu enei o nga Kerehoni.

From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.

22 Ko nga mea o ratou i taua, ko te tokomaha o nga tane katoa, kotahi nei te marama ahu atu, ko nga mea o ratou i taua e whitu mano e rima rau.

The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.

23 Hei muri i te tapenakara, hei te taha ki te hauauru, te puni o nga Kerehoni.

The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,

24 Ko Eriahapa hoki, ko te tama a Raere, hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga Kerehoni.

and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.

25 A, ko ta nga tama a Kerehona e tiaki ai i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ko te tapenakara, ko te teneti, me tona hipoki, ko te pa o te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga,

The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

26 Me nga pa o te marae, me te pa o te whatitoka o te marae, o tera i te tapenakara, i te aata hoki a tawhio noa, me ona aho hoki mo ona meatanga katoa.

the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.

27 Na Kohata hoki te hapu o nga Amarami, me te hapu o nga Itihari, me te hapu o nga Heperoni, me te hapu o nga Utieri: ko ng hapu enei o nga Kohati.

From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.

28 Ko te tokomaha o nga tana katoa, kotahi nei te marama, ahu atu, e waru mano e ono rau, ko ratou nga kaitiaki o te wahi tapu.

The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

29 Hei te taha whaka te tonga o te tapenakara he puni mo nga hapu o nga tama a Kohata.

The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,

30 A ko Eritapana, tama a Utiere, hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga hapu o nga Kohati.

and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.

31 A, ko ta ratou e tiaki ai ko te aaka, ko te tepu, ko te turanga rama, ko nga aata, ko nga oko o te whai tapu, ara ko nga mea e minita ai ratou, me te pa arai, me nga mea katoa o ena mahinga.

Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.

32 A ko Ereatara tama a Arona tohunga hei ariki mo nga ariki o nga Riwaiti, mana hoki e tirotiro nga kaitiaki e tiaki ana i te wahi tapu.

The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

33 Na Merari te hapu o nga Mahari, me te hapu o nga Muhi: ko nga hapu enei o Merari.

From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.

The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.

35 A ko Turiere, ko te tama a Apihaira hei ariki mo te whare o te matua o nga hapu o Merari: hei te taha ki te raki o te tapenakara he puni mo enei.

The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.

36 Ko ta nga tama hoki a Merari e tupato ai, e tiaki ai, ko nga papa o te tapenakara, me ona kaho, me ona pou, me nga turanga pou, me nga mea katoa o aua mea, me nga mea katoa o ena mahinga;

The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,

37 Me nga pou o te marae a tawhio noa, me nga turanga, me nga titi, me nga aho.

as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.

38 A ko enei e noho ki mua i te tapenakara, ki te rawhiti, ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te putanga mai o te ra, ko Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko ana tama, hei tiaki i te wahi tapu, i nga mea hei tiakanga ma nga tama a Iharaira; a, ko te t angata ke e whakatata mai, ka whakamatea.

Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.

39 Ko nga Riwaiti katoa i taua, ko era i taua ra e Mohi raua ko Arona, i ta Ihowa whakahau, i o ratou hapu, ko nga tane katoa kotahi nei te marama ahu atu, e rua tekau ma rua mano.

The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.

40 A i mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Taua nga tane matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga mea kotahi nei te marama, me nga mea i maha atu, tuhituhia hoki te maha o o ratou ingoa.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.

41 A me tango nga Riwaiti maku; ko Ihowa ahau; hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira; me nga kararehe a nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa i roto i nga kararehe o nga tama a Iharaira.

You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”

42 Na ka taua e Mohi, ka peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia, nga matamua katoa i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.

43 A, ko nga tane matamua katoa, ko te maha o nga ingoa, kotahi nei te marama a ahu atu, ko nga mea o ratou i taua, e rua tekau ma rua mano e rua rau e whitu tekau ma toru.

The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.

44 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

45 Tangohia nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga tane matamua katoa i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, me nga kararehe a nga Riwaiti hei utu mo a ratou kararehe; a maku nga Riwaiti: ko Ihowa ahau.

“Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

46 Na, hei whakahoki atu, hei utu mo te rua rau e whitu tekau ma toru, mo nga matamua o nga tama a Iharaira i hira ake i te tokomaha o nga Riwaiti;

To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,

47 Me tango e koe kia rima hekere mo tenei pane, mo tenei pane; kia rite ki te hekere o te wahi tapu au e tango ai: e rua tekau nga kera o te hekere kotahi:

you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.

48 Me hoatu te moni e utua ai nga tuhene o ratou ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama.

Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”

49 Na ka tango a Mohi i te moni whakahoki i nga tangata i hira ake i era i utua ki nga Riwaiti:

So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.

50 I tangohia e ia te moni i nga matamua a nga tama a Iharaira; kotahi mano e toru rau e ono tekau ma rima hekere; he pera me te hekere o te wahi tapu:

He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

51 A i hoatu e Mohi te moni a te hunga i utua ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, i pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
