Hesabu 3
1 Hii ni hesabu ya jamaa ya Aroni na Mose kwa wakati ambao Bwana alizungumza na Mose katika Mlima Sinai.
And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
2 Majina ya wana wa Aroni yalikuwa: Nadabu mzaliwa wa kwanza na Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
3 Hayo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Aroni, makuhani wapakwa mafuta, waliokuwa wamesimikwa kuhudumu kama makuhani.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
4 Hata hivyo Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele za Bwana walipotoa sadaka kwa moto usioruhusiwa mbele zake katika Jangwa la Sinai. Hawakuwa na wana; kwa hiyo Eleazari na Ithamari walihudumu peke yao kama makuhani wakati wote wa maisha ya Aroni baba yao.
And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Walete watu wa kabila la Lawi mbele ya Aroni kuhani ili wamsaidie.
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
7 Watafanya huduma kwa ajili yake na kwa jumuiya yote katika Hema la Kukutania kwa kufanya kazi za Maskani.
and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 Watatunza samani zote za Hema la Kukutania, wakitimiza wajibu wa kuhudumia Waisraeli kwa kufanya kazi ya Maskani.
And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 Wakabidhi Walawi kwa Aroni na wanawe; hao ndio Waisraeli ambao wanakabidhiwa kwake kabisa.
And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
10 Waweke Aroni na wanawe kuhudumu kama makuhani; mtu mwingine yeyote atakayesogea mahali patakatifu ni lazima auawe.”
And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
11 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Nimewatwaa Walawi kutoka miongoni mwa Waisraeli badala ya mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa kila mwanamke wa Mwisraeli. Walawi ni wangu,
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
13 kwa kuwa wazaliwa wote wa kwanza ni wangu. Nilipowaua wazaliwa wa kwanza huko Misri, nilimtenga kila mzaliwa wa kwanza katika Israeli awe wangu, akiwa mwanadamu au mnyama. Watakuwa wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
14 Bwana akamwambia Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 “Wahesabu Walawi kwa jamaa zao na koo zao. Mhesabu kila mwanaume mwenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi.”
Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

And those who encamped before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, who kept the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
40 Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Wahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wote wa Waisraeli wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi na uorodheshe majina yao.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
41 Nitwalie Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli, nayo mifugo ya Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa mifugo ya Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) 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 Hivyo Mose akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Waisraeli, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
And Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43 Jumla ya hesabu ya wazaliwa wa kwanza waume wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja au zaidi, walioorodheshwa kwa majina, walikuwa 22,273.

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 Jehovah.
46 Ili kukomboa wazao wa kwanza 273 wa Waisraeli ambao wamezidi hesabu ya Walawi,
And for those that are to be ransomed, the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are in excess over the Levites,
47 kusanya shekeli tano kwa kila mmoja, kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini.
thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, according to the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them, — twenty gerahs the shekel;
48 Mpe Aroni na wanawe hizo fedha kwa ajili ya ukombozi wa idadi ya Waisraeli waliozidi.”
and thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.
49 Kwa hiyo Mose akakusanya fedha za ukombozi kutoka kwa wale ambao hesabu yao ilizidi wale waliokombolewa na Walawi.
And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;
50 Kutokana na wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Waisraeli alikusanya fedha yenye uzito wa shekeli 1,365 kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu.
of the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five [shekels], according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
51 Mose akampa Aroni na wanawe ile fedha ya ukombozi, kama alivyoamriwa na neno la Bwana.
And Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
