Hesabu 3
1 Hii ni hesabu ya jamaa ya Aroni na Mose kwa wakati ambao Bwana alizungumza na Mose katika Mlima Sinai.
Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 Majina ya wana wa Aroni yalikuwa: Nadabu mzaliwa wa kwanza na Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
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 cohanim who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister as cohanim.
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.
Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the office of cohen in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Walete watu wa kabila la Lawi mbele ya Aroni kuhani ili wamsaidie.
"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the cohen, that they may minister to him.
7 Watafanya huduma kwa ajili yake na kwa jumuiya yote katika Hema la Kukutania kwa kufanya kazi za Maskani.
They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation 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.
They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations 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.
You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
10 Waweke Aroni na wanawe kuhudumu kama makuhani; mtu mwingine yeyote atakayesogea mahali patakatifu ni lazima auawe.”
And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to the duties of cohanim; but the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death."
11 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
The LORD 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,
"Look, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who 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 all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD."
14 Bwana akamwambia Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai,
The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by 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.
The LORD said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn 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.”
You shall take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."
42 Hivyo Mose akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Waisraeli, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
Moses numbered, as the LORD 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 livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am the LORD.
46 Ili kukomboa wazao wa kwanza 273 wa Waisraeli ambao wamezidi hesabu ya Walawi,
For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites,
47 kusanya shekeli tano kwa kila mmoja, kufuatana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini.
you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
48 Mpe Aroni na wanawe hizo fedha kwa ajili ya ukombozi wa idadi ya Waisraeli waliozidi.”
and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."

Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed 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.
from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
