Lakkoobsa 3
1 Yeroo Waaqayyo Tulluu Siinaa irratti Museetti dubbatetti seenaan sanyii Aroonii fi Musee kanaa dha.
This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Maqaan ilmaan Aroon: Naadaab hangafticha, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Kunneen maqaawwan ilmaan Aroon jechuunis luboota muudaman kanneen akka luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif dibaman sanaa ti.
These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
4 Naadaabii fi Abiihuu garuu yeroo Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti ibidda hin eeyyamamin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessanitti fuuluma isaa duratti duʼan. Isaan ilmaan tokko illee hin qaban ture. Kanaafuu Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar bara abbaan isaanii Aroon lubbuun jiraatetti luboota taʼanii tajaajilan.
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the LORD said to Moses,
6 “Gosa Lewwii fidiitii akka isaan Aroon lubicha gargaaraniif isa dura dhaabi.
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
7 Isaanis hojii dunkaana qulqulluu hojjechuudhaan waan isa irraa barbaadamuu fi waan waldaa hunda irraa barbaadamu fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti haa raawwatan.
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 Isaan hojii dunkaana qulqulluu hojjetanii dirqama Israaʼelootaa guutuudhaan miʼa dunkaana wal gaʼii hunda haa eegan.
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 Lewwota sana Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni; isaan warra saba Israaʼel keessaa guutumaan guutuutti isatti kennamanii dha.
Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
10 Ati akka isaan luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa muudi; namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluu sanatti dhiʼaatu garuu ajjeefamuu qaba.”
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Kunoo ani Israaʼeloota keessaa qooda dhiira hangafa dubartoota Israaʼel hundaa Lewwota fudhadheera. Lewwonni kan koo ti;
“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 hangafti hundinuu kan kootii. Ani yeroo biyya Gibxi keessatti hangafa hunda ajjeesetti hangafa Israaʼel hunda jechuunis namas taʼu horii ofii kootiif addaan baafadheera. Isaan kan koo taʼan. Ani Waaqayyo.”
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 Waaqayyo Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 “Lewwota maatii isaaniitii fi balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi. Dhiira jiʼa tokkoo yookaan hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼi.”
“Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”
16 Museen akkuma dubbiin Waaqayyoo isa ajajetti isaan lakkaaʼe.
So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.

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.

40 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Dhiirota Israaʼel hangafoota kanneen jiʼa tokkootii fi hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼii maqaa isaanii barreessi.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.
41 Qooda ijoollee Israaʼel kanneen hangafa taʼan hundaa Lewwota naa fudhadhu; qooda ilmaan hangafa horii Israaʼelootaa hundaas horii Lewwotaa naa fudhadhu. Ani Waaqayyo.”
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.”

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

46 Israaʼeloota hangafoota 273 kanneen baayʼina Lewwotaa caalan furuuf,
To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,
47 tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif akkuma madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti saqilii shan shan fuudhi; saqiliin tokko geeraa digdama.

48 Maallaqa Israaʼeloota dabalaman furuuf fuudhame sanas Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni.”
Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”
49 Museen maallaqa sana Israaʼeloota lakkoobsaan warra Lewwotaan furamaniin ol taʼan sana irraa fuudhe.
So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.
50 Innis akka madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti meetii saqilii 1,365 ulfaattu Israaʼeloota hangafa irraa fuudhe.
He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
