Hesabu 26

1 Baada ya hiyo tauni, Bwana akamwambia Mose na Eleazari mwana wa kuhani Aroni,

After the plague [ended], Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses/me,

2 “Hesabu jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli kwa jamaa zao, wale wote wenye umri wa miaka ishirini na zaidi, ambao wanaweza kutumika katika jeshi la Israeli.”

“Count all the people of Israel [again]. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight [in battles], along with their family names.”

3 Hivyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakazungumza na watu kwenye nchi tambarare ya Moabu, ngʼambo ya Yordani kutokea Yeriko, wakasema,

So while the Israelis were on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, Eleazar and Moses/I told this to the Israeli leaders:

4 “Hesabuni wanaume wenye umri wa miaka ishirini na zaidi, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.” Hawa ndio Waisraeli waliotoka Misri:

“Write down the names of all the Israeli men who are at least 20 years old, as Yahweh has commanded us.” [So they did that], and this is a record of all the descendants of Jacob who came out of Egypt [who were still alive].

5 Wazao wa Reubeni, mwana mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, walikuwa: kutoka kwa Hanoki, ukoo wa Wahanoki; kutoka kwa Palu, ukoo wa Wapalu;

and his grandsons were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who joined with Korah to conspire against Aaron and Moses/me and rebelled against Yahweh.

10 Ardhi ilifunua kinywa chake na kuwameza pamoja na Kora, ambaye wafuasi wake walikufa wakati moto ulipowateketeza wanaume 250. Nao walikuwa kama alama ya onyo.

But the earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah. Yahweh also sent a fire that burned up 250 men who supported those three men. That was a warning [to all the Israeli people] that they should respect and obey the leaders whom Yahweh had appointed.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

53 “Watagawiwa nchi kama urithi kwa kulingana na hesabu ya majina.

“Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists.

54 Kundi kubwa zaidi lipe urithi mkubwa zaidi, na kundi dogo zaidi lipewe urithi mdogo zaidi; kila kundi litapokea urithi wake kulingana na hesabu ya wale walioorodheshwa.

Decide by (casting lots/throwing stones which are marked) to determine which group will get which area, but give the largest areas to the groups with the most people.”

55 Hakikisha kuwa nchi inagawanywa kwa kura. Kile kitakachorithiwa na kila kikundi kitakuwa kwa kulingana na majina ya kabila la babu yao.

56 Kila urithi utagawanywa kwa kura miongoni mwa makundi makubwa na madogo.”

These also included people from the clans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. All of them were descendants of Levi. Kohath was the ancestor of Amram,

59 jina la mke wa Amramu ni Yokebedi, naye pia alikuwa mzao wa Lawi, ambaye alizaliwa kwa Walawi nchini Misri. Alimzalia Amramu: Aroni, Mose na dada yao Miriamu.

whose wife was Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, but she was born in Egypt. She and Amram had two sons, Aaron and Moses/me, and their/our [older] sister Miriam.

60 Aroni alikuwa baba yake Nadabu na Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.

Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

61 Lakini Nadabu na Abihu walikufa wakati walitoa sadaka mbele za Bwana kwa moto usioruhusiwa.)

But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned [incense for a sacrifice] to Yahweh in a way that disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded.

62 Wanaume wote wa Walawi wa umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi walikuwa 23,000. Wao hawakuhesabiwa pamoja na Waisraeli wengine kwa sababu hawakupokea urithi miongoni mwao.

The leaders counted 23,000 men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israeli people [were counted], because they were not given any land.

63 Hawa ndio walioorodheshwa na Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakati waliwahesabu Waisraeli kwenye nchi tambarare ya Moabu, kando ya Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.

Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses/I said should be counted. They counted the Israeli people on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, on the [east] side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [city].

64 Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekuwa miongoni mwa wale waliohesabiwa na Mose na kuhani Aroni wakati waliwahesabu Waisraeli katika Jangwa la Sinai.

None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses/me when the Israelis were in the Sinai Desert,

65 Kwa maana Bwana alikuwa amewaambia hao Waisraeli hakika wangekufa huko jangwani, wala hakuna mmoja wao aliyeachwa, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.

because Yahweh had said about them, “They will all die in this desert,” [and that is what happened]. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
