Lakkoobsa 3
1 Yeroo Waaqayyo Tulluu Siinaa irratti Museetti dubbatetti seenaan sanyii Aroonii fi Musee kanaa dha.
These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
2 Maqaan ilmaan Aroon: Naadaab hangafticha, Abiihuu, Eleʼaazaarii fi Iitaamaar.
Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Kunneen maqaawwan ilmaan Aroon jechuunis luboota muudaman kanneen akka luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif dibaman sanaa ti.
They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be 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.
But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
6 “Gosa Lewwii fidiitii akka isaan Aroon lubicha gargaaraniif isa dura dhaabi.
“Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may 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 will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
8 Isaan hojii dunkaana qulqulluu hojjetanii dirqama Israaʼelootaa guutuudhaan miʼa dunkaana wal gaʼii hunda haa eegan.
They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
9 Lewwota sana Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni; isaan warra saba Israaʼel keessaa guutumaan guutuutti isatti kennamanii dha.
Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
10 Ati akka isaan luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa muudi; namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluu sanatti dhiʼaatu garuu ajjeefamuu qaba.”
Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
11 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
12 “Kunoo ani Israaʼeloota keessaa qooda dhiira hangafa dubartoota Israaʼel hundaa Lewwota fudhadheera. Lewwonni kan koo ti;
“Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi 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.”
because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
14 Waaqayyo Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
15 “Lewwota maatii isaaniitii fi balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi. Dhiira jiʼa tokkoo yookaan hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼi.”
“Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
16 Museen akkuma dubbiin Waaqayyoo isa ajajetti isaan lakkaaʼe.
So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
17 Kunneen maqaawwan ilmaan Lewwii ti: Geershoon, Qohaatii fi Meraarii.
Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
39 Lewwonni lakkaaʼaman hundi kanneen Musee fi Aroon ajaja Waaqayyootiin akkuma balbala balbala isaaniitti lakkaaʼan, dhiironni jiʼa tokkoo fi hammasii olii hundi 22,000 turan.

40 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Dhiirota Israaʼel hangafoota kanneen jiʼa tokkootii fi hammasii olii hunda lakkaaʼii maqaa isaanii barreessi.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down 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.”
Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
42 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti hangafoota Israaʼel hunda lakkaaʼe.
So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.

“Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
46 Israaʼeloota hangafoota 273 kanneen baayʼina Lewwotaa caalan furuuf,
There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
47 tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif akkuma madaalii saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti saqilii shan shan fuudhi; saqiliin tokko geeraa digdama.
To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
48 Maallaqa Israaʼeloota dabalaman furuuf fuudhame sanas Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti kenni.”
49 Museen maallaqa sana Israaʼeloota lakkoobsaan warra Lewwotaan furamaniin ol taʼan sana irraa fuudhe.
So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
