Tauanga 1

1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi i te koraha o Hinai i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te ra tuatahi o te rua o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i mea,

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 Tirohia te tokomaha o te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa i nga ingoa o nga tane katoa, tenei pane, tenei pane o ratou;

“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 Ko nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei nga tau, ko nga mea hoki e kaha ana i roto i a Iharaira ki te haere ki te whawhai, ma korua ko Arona ratou e tatau, tenei ope, tenei ope.

4 Kia kotahi hoki te tangata o tenei iwi, o tenei iwi, hei hoa mo korua; ara ko nga upoko o tenei whare, o tenei whare o o ratou matua.

[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 Ko nga ingoa hoki enei o nga tangata e tu tahi me korua: no Reupena; ko Erituru, tama a Hereuru.

Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”

6 No Himiona; ko Herumiere, tama a Turiharai.

7 No Hura; ko Nahahona, tama a Aminarapa.

8 No Ihakara; ko Netaneere, tama a Tuara.

9 No Hepurona; ko Eriapa, tama a Herona.

10 No nga tama a Hohepa: no Eparaima; ko Erihama, tama a Amihuru: no Manahi; ko Kamariere, tama a Peraturu.

11 No Pineamine; ko Apirana, tama a Kirioni.

12 No Rana; ko Ahietere, tama a Amiharai.

13 No Ahera; ko Pakiere, tama a Okorana.

14 No Kara; ko Eriahapa, tama a Teuere.

15 No Napatari; ko Ahira, tama a Enana.

16 Ko nga mea whai ingoa enei o te whakaminenga, ko nga ariki o nga iwi o o ratou matua; ko ratou nga upoko o nga mano i roto i a Iharaira.

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 Na ka tikina e Mohi raua ko Arona enei tangata no ratou nga ingoa kua whakahuatia nei:

Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,

18 A huihuia ana e ratou te whakaminenga katoa i te ra tuatahi o te rua o nga marama: a ka whakaaturia e ratou o ratou whakapapa, tenei hapu, tenei hapu, me nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa, he pane, he pane, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau.

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 Rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi tana tauanga i a ratou i te koraha o Hinai.

just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.

20 A ko nga tama a Reupena, matamua a Iharaira, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa, he pane, he pane, o nga tane katoa e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei nga tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki t e whawhai;

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.

21 Ko nga mea o ratou, o te iwi o Reupena, i taua, e wha tekau ma ono mano e rima rau.

22 No nga tama a Himiona, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, ko nga mea o ratou i taua, tatau rawa nga ingoa, he pane, he pane, o nga tane katoa e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei nga tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

23 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Himiona, e rima tekau ma iwa mano e toru rau.

27 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Hura, e whitu tekau ma wha mano e ono rau.

28 No nga tama a Ihakara, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa o nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

29 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Ihakara, e rima tekau ma wha mano e wha rau.

30 No nga tama a Hepurona, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa o nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

31 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Hepurona, e rima tekau ma whitu mano e wha rau.

32 No nga tama a Hohepa, ara no nga tama a Eparaima, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa o nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

34 No nga tama a Manahi, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa o nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

36 No nga tama a Pineamine, i o ratou toronga, i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua, tatau rawa nga ingoa o nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, o nga mea katoa i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

37 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Pineamine, e toru tekau ma rima mano e wha rau.

43 Ko nga mea i taua o ratou, o te iwi o Napatari, e rima tekau ma toru mano e wha rua.

44 Ko nga mea enei i taua nei e Mohi, e Arona ratou ko nga ariki kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira; takikotahi te tangata o ratou ki te whare o ona matua.

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 A, ko aua tangata i taua o nga tama a Iharaira, i nga whare o o ratou matua, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau i roto i a Iharaira i kaha ki te haere ki te whawhai;

46 Ko aua tangata katoa i taua e ono rau e toru mano e rima rau e rima tekau.

The total was 603,550 men.

47 Ko nga Riwaiti ia, i te iwi o o ratou matua, kihai i taua i roto i a ratou.

But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,

48 Na Ihowa hoki i korero ki a Mohi, i mea,

because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,

49 Otiia kaua e taua te iwi o Riwai, kaua ano e tirohia to ratou tokomaha i roto i nga tama a Iharaira:

“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 Engari me whakarite nga Riwaiti mo te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga, mo ona oko katoa, mo ona mea katoa hoki: ma ratou te tapenakara e amo, me ona oko katoa; a me mahi ki reira, me noho hoki ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara.

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 A, ka maunu atu te tapenakara, ma nga Riwaiti e wahi iho; ka whakaturia ano hoki te tapenakara, ma nga Riwaiti e whakatu: a, ko te tangata ke e whakatata atu, ka whakamatea.

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 Me whakatu ano o ratou teneti e nga tama a Iharaira ki tona puni, ki tona puni, ki tona kara, ki tona kara, puta noa i o ratou ope.

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 Ko nga Riwaiti ia, me whakatu o ratou ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga, kei puta he riri ki te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira: a ma nga Riwaiti e tiaki te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga.

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 Na i pera nga tama a Iharaira; rite tonu ki ta Ihowa katoa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi ta ratou mahi.

So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
