Hesabu 10
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose:
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Tengeneza tarumbeta mbili za fedha ya kufua, uzitumie kwa kuita jumuiya pamoja na wakati wa kuvunja makambi ili kuondoka.
“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
3 Tarumbeta zote mbili zikipigwa, jumuiya yote itakusanyika mbele yako katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 Kama tarumbeta moja tu ikipigwa, viongozi, yaani wakuu wa koo za Israeli, ndio watakaokusanyika mbele yako.
But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
5 Wakati mlio wa kujulisha hatari ukipigwa, makabila yaliyo na makambi upande wa mashariki yataondoka.
When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
6 Ukisikika mlio wa pili wa jinsi hiyo, walioko kwenye makambi ya kusini wataondoka. Mlio huo wa kujulisha hatari utakuwa ishara ya kuondoka.
When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
7 Ili kukusanya kusanyiko, piga tarumbeta zote, lakini siyo kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari.
To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
8 “Wana wa Aroni, makuhani, ndio watakaopiga hizo tarumbeta. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu na kwa vizazi vijavyo.
Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
9 Wakati mtakapopigana vita katika nchi yenu wenyewe dhidi ya adui anayewaonea, piga tarumbeta kwa mlio wa kujulisha hatari. Ndipo utakumbukwa na Bwana Mungu wenu na kuokolewa kutoka kwa adui zenu.
When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
10 Pia nyakati za furaha yenu, yaani sikukuu zenu zilizoamriwa na sikukuu za Mwezi Mwandamo, mtapiga tarumbeta juu ya sadaka zenu za kuteketezwa na sadaka zenu za amani, nazo zitakuwa ukumbusho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.”
Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
11 Katika siku ya ishirini ya mwezi wa pili wa mwaka wa pili, wingu liliinuka kutoka juu ya maskani ya Ushuhuda.
The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
12 Ndipo Waisraeli wakaondoka kutoka Jangwa la Sinai wakasafiri kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine mpaka wingu lilipotua katika Jangwa la Parani.
The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
13 Waliondoka kwa mara ya kwanza kwa agizo la Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
14 Vikosi vya kambi ya Yuda vilitangulia kwanza chini ya alama yao. Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu alikuwa kiongozi wao.
The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.
15 Nethaneli mwana wa Suari alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Isakari,
Nethanel, son of Zuar, was in charge of the tribal division of Issachar,
16 naye Eliabu mwana wa Heloni alikuwa kiongozi wa kabila la Zabuloni.
and Eliab, son of Helon, was in charge of the tribal division of Zebulun.
17 Ndipo Maskani iliposhushwa, nao wana wa Gershoni na wana wa Merari ambao waliibeba wakaondoka.
Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.
18 Vikosi vya kambi ya Reubeni vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri alikuwa kiongozi wao.
Then came the divisions of Reuben who marched out under their flag, with Elizur, son of Shedeur, in charge.
19 Shelumieli mwana wa Surishadai aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Simeoni,
Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, was in charge of the tribal division of Simeon,
20 naye Eliasafu mwana wa Deueli aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Gadi.
and Eliasaph, son of Deuel, was in charge of the tribal division of Gad.
21 Kisha Wakohathi wakaondoka, wakichukua vitu vitakatifu. Maskani ilikuwa isimamishwe kabla wao hawajafika.
Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.
22 Vikosi vya kambi ya Efraimu vilifuata, chini ya alama yao. Elishama mwana wa Amihudi alikuwa kiongozi wao.
Then came the divisions of Ephraim who marched out under their flag, with Elishama, son of Ammihud in charge.
23 Gamalieli mwana wa Pedasuri aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Manase,
Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, was in charge of the tribal division of Manasseh,
24 naye Abidani mwana wa Gideoni alikuwa kiongozi wa kikosi cha kabila la Benyamini.
and Abidan, son of Gideoni, was in charge of the tribal division of Benjamin.
25 Mwishowe, kama kikosi cha nyuma cha ulinzi wa vikosi vyote, vikosi vya kambi ya Dani viliondoka chini ya alama yao. Ahiezeri mwana wa Amishadai alikuwa kiongozi wao.
Lastly came the divisions of Dan who marched out under their flag, defending the rear of all the tribal groups, with Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, in charge.
26 Pagieli mwana wa Okrani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Asheri,
Pagiel, son of Ocran, was in charge of the tribal division of Asher,
27 naye Ahira mwana wa Enani aliongoza kikosi cha kabila la Naftali.
and Ahira, son of Enan, was in charge of the tribal division of Naphtali.
28 Huu ndio ulikuwa utaratibu wa kuondoka wa vikosi vya Waisraeli walipokuwa wanaondoka.
This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
29 Basi Mose akamwambia Hobabu mwana wa Reueli, Mmidiani, mkwewe Mose, “Tunaondoka kwenda mahali ambapo Bwana amesema ‘Nitawapa ninyi mahali hapo.’ Twende pamoja nasi tutakutendea mema, kwa maana Bwana ameahidi mambo mema kwa Israeli.”
Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 Akajibu, “Hapana, sitakwenda; nitarudi kwenye nchi yangu mwenyewe na watu wangu mwenyewe.”
“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
31 Lakini Mose akasema, “Tafadhali usituache. Wewe unajua mahali ambapo yatupasa kupiga kambi jangwani, nawe unaweza kuwa macho yetu.
“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
32 Ikiwa utafuatana nasi, tutashirikiana nawe mema yoyote tutakayopewa na Bwana.”
If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
33 Hivyo waliondoka kutoka mlima wa Bwana, nao wakasafiri kwa siku tatu. Sanduku la Agano la Bwana liliwatangulia kwa zile siku tatu ili kuwatafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
34 Wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu yao wakati wa mchana walipoondoka kambini.
The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
35 Wakati wowote Sanduku lilipoondoka, Mose alisema, “Ee Bwana, inuka! Watesi wako na watawanyike; adui zako na wakimbie mbele zako.”
Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
36 Wakati wowote Sanduku liliposimama, alisema, “Ee Bwana, rudi, kwa maelfu ya Waisraeli wasiohesabika.”
Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
