Amanani 3

1 Lezi-ke yizizukulwana zikaAroni lezikaMozisi, ngosuku iNkosi eyakhuluma ngalo loMozisi entabeni yeSinayi.

These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that YHWH spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

2 Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaAroni; izibulo uNadabi, loAbihu, uEleyazare, loIthamari.

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 La ngamabizo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi abagcotshiweyo, owabehlukanisela ukusebenza njengabapristi.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

4 Kodwa uNadabi loAbihu bafa phambi kweNkosi, lapho benikela umlilo ongejwayelekanga phambi kweNkosi enkangala yeSinayi. Babengelabantwana. Ngakho uEleyazare loIthamari basebenza njengabapristi phambi kukaAroni uyise.

And Nadab and Abihu died before YHWH, when they offered strange fire before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.

5 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

6 Sondeza isizwe sakoLevi, usimise phambi kukaAroni umpristi, ukuthi bamsebenzele.

Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

7 Bazagcina imfanelo yakhe lemfanelo yenhlangano yonke phambi kwethente lenhlangano ukwenza inkonzo yethabhanekele.

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 Bazalondoloza yonke impahla yethente lenhlangano, lemfanelo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi benze inkonzo yethabhanekele.

And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9 Njalo uzanikela amaLevi kuAroni lemadodaneni akhe; aphiwe lokuphiwa kuye bephuma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

10 Njalo uAroni lamadodana akhe uzabamisa, bagcine-ke ubupristi babo. Lowemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.

And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

11 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

12 Mina-ke, khangela, ngithethe amaLevi ephuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli endaweni yalo lonke izibulo elivula isizalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli. Ngakho amaLevi azakuba ngawami,

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

13 ngoba lonke izibulo lingelami ngosuku engatshaya ngalo lonke izibulo elizweni leGibhithe. Ngizehlukanisele lonke izibulo koIsrayeli, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni; lizakuba ngelami; ngiyiNkosi.

Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am YHWH.

14 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi enkangala yeSinayi isithi:

And YHWH spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 Bala abantwana bakoLevi ngezindlu zaboyise langensendo zabo; wonke owesilisa kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, uzababala.

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

16 Ngakho uMozisi wababala ngokomlomo weNkosi njengokulaywa kwakhe.

And Moses numbered them according to the word of YHWH, as he was commanded.

17 Lala ayengamadodana kaLevi ngamabizo awo: UGerishoni loKohathi loMerari.

And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

18 Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaGerishoni ngensendo zawo: ULibini loShimeyi.

And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 Ababalwayo babo, ngenani labo bonke abesilisa, kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, ababalwayo babo babeyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu.

Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

23 Insendo zamaGerishoni zizamisa amathente azo ngemva kwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga.

The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

24 Lesiphathamandla sendlu kayise wamaGerishoni sizakuba nguEliyasafi indodana kaLayeli.

And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25 Lemfanelo yamadodana kaGerishoni ethenteni lenhlangano izakuba lithabhanekele, lethente, isifulelo salo, lesilenge somnyango wethente lenhlangano,

And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

26 lamakhetheni eguma, lesilenge somnyango weguma elingasethabhanekeleni lelingaselathini inhlangothi zonke, lentambo zalo, ngokomsebenzi walo wonke.

And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

27 LakuKohathi kwakulosendo lwamaAmramu, losendo lwamaIzihari, losendo lwamaHebroni, losendo lwamaUziyeli. Lezi zinsendo zamaKohathi.

And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28 Kunani labo bonke abesilisa, kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, babeyizinkulungwane eziyisificaminwembili lamakhulu ayisithupha, begcina imfanelo yendlu engcwele.

In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

29 Insendo zamadodana kaKohathi zizamisa amathente azo eceleni kwethabhanekele ngeningizimu.

And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

32 Njalo umphathi weziphathamandla zamaLevi uzakuba nguEleyazare, indodana kaAroni umpristi; ubuphathi bakhe babukwabagcina ukulindwa kwendlu engcwele.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

33 KoMerari kwakulusendo lwamaMahli losendo lwamaMushi; lezi zinsendo zamaMerari.

Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

34 Lababalwayo babo, ngenani labo bonke abesilisa, kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, babeyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lamakhulu amabili.

And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.

And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

38 Lalabo ababemise amathente abo phambi kwethabhanekele ngempumalanga, phambi kwethente lenhlangano, kwakungoMozisi loAroni lamadodana akhe, belondoloza ukulindwa kwendlu engcwele, kusenzelwa umlindo wabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Lowemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.

But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

39 Bonke ababalwayo bamaLevi, oMozisi loAroni abababalayo, ngokomlayo weNkosi, ngezinsapho zabo, bonke abesilisa kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili.

All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of YHWH, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

40 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Bala wonke amazibulo esilisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli, kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, uthathe inani lamabizo abo.

And YHWH said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

41 Uzangithathela amaLevi (ngiyiNkosi) endaweni yawo wonke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli; lezifuyo zamaLevi endaweni yamazibulo wonke phakathi kwezifuyo zabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am YHWH ) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

42 Ngakho uMozisi wabala wonke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuye.

And Moses numbered, as YHWH commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43 Lawo wonke amazibulo esilisa, ngenani lamabizo, kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu, kwababaliweyo babo, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lantathu.

And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

44 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

45 Thatha amaLevi endaweni yamazibulo wonke phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, lezifuyo zamaLevi endaweni yezifuyo zabo; lamaLevi azakuba ngawami; ngiyiNkosi.

Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am YHWH.

46 Mayelana labazahlengwa, abangamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lantathu bamazibulo abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abaphezu kwenani lamaLevi;

And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

47 uzathatha lamashekeli nganhlanu nganhlanu ngekhanda, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele uzawathatha; ishekeli lingamagera angamatshumi amabili.

Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs: )

48 Unike kuAroni lakumadodana akhe imali yabahlengiweyo abasele phakathi kwabo.

And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

49 UMozisi wasethatha imali yohlengo kulabo ababesele phezu kwabahlengwa ngamaLevi.

And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

50 Wayithatha imali kumazibulo abantwana bakoIsrayeli, amashekeli ayinkulungwane lamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele.

Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

51 UMozisi wasenika uAroni lamadodana akhe imali yabahlengiweyo, ngokomlomo weNkosi, njengalokhu iNkosi imlayile uMozisi.

And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of YHWH, as YHWH commanded Moses.
