Hesabu 1
1 Bwana alisema na Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai, katika Hema la Kukutania, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa pili, katika mwaka wa pili baada ya Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri. Akamwambia,
On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
2 “Hesabu watu wa jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli kwa kufuata koo zao na jamaa zao, ukiorodhesha kila mwanaume kwa jina lake, mmoja mmoja.
“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
3 Wewe na Aroni mtawahesabu kwa migawanyo yao wanaume wote katika Israeli wenye miaka ishirini na kuendelea ambao wanaweza kutumika katika jeshi.
You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
4 Mwanaume mmoja kutoka kila kabila, kila aliye kiongozi wa jamaa yake, atawasaidia.
And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
5 Haya ndiyo majina ya wanaume watakaowasaidia: “kutoka Reubeni, ni Elisuri mwana wa Shedeuri;
These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
6 kutoka Simeoni, ni Shelumieli mwana wa Surishadai;
from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
7 kutoka Yuda, ni Nashoni mwana wa Aminadabu;
from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;
8 kutoka Isakari, ni Nethaneli mwana wa Suari;
from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;
9 kutoka Zabuloni, ni Eliabu mwana wa Heloni;
from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;
10 kutoka wana wa Yosefu: kutoka Efraimu, ni Elishama mwana wa Amihudi; kutoka Manase, ni Gamalieli mwana wa Pedasuri;
from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
11 kutoka Benyamini, ni Abidani mwana wa Gideoni;

and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”
16 Hawa walikuwa wanaume walioteuliwa kutoka jumuiya, viongozi wa makabila ya baba zao. Walikuwa wakuu wa koo za Israeli.
These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.
17 Mose na Aroni wakawachukua wanaume hao waliokuwa wamepewa majina yao,
So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,
18 wakaita jumuiya yote pamoja katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa pili. Watu wakaonyesha nasaba zao kwa koo zao na jamaa zao, nao wanaume waliokuwa na miaka ishirini au zaidi waliorodheshwa kwa majina, mmoja mmoja,
and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,
19 kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose. Hivyo aliwahesabu katika Jangwa la Sinai:
just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:
20 Kutoka wazao wa Reubeni, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa Israeli: Wanaume wote waliokuwa na miaka ishirini au zaidi ambao waliweza kutumika katika jeshi waliorodheshwa kwa majina, mmoja mmoja, kufuatana na kumbukumbu za koo zao na jamaa zao.

44 Hawa walikuwa wanaume waliohesabiwa na Mose, Aroni na viongozi kumi na wawili wa Israeli, kila mmoja akiwakilisha jamaa yake.
These were the men numbered by Moses and Aaron, with the assistance of the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.
45 Wanaume wote Waisraeli waliokuwa na miaka ishirini au zaidi ambao waliweza kutumika katika jeshi la Israeli walihesabiwa kufuatana na jamaa zao.
So all the Israelites twenty years of age or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.
46 Jumla ya hesabu yao ilikuwa watu 603,550.
And all those counted totaled 603,550.
47 Hata hivyo, jamaa ya kabila la Lawi hawakuhesabiwa pamoja na wengine.
The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
48 Bwana alikuwa amemwambia Mose:
For the LORD had said to Moses:
49 “Kamwe usihesabu kabila la Lawi wala kuwaweka pamoja katika hesabu ya Waisraeli wengine.
“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
50 Badala yake, waweke Walawi kuwa viongozi wa Maskani ya Ushuhuda, juu ya samani zake na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake. Wao watabeba Maskani na samani zake zote; wataitunza na kupiga kambi kuizunguka.
Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
51 Wakati wowote Maskani inapohamishwa, Walawi wataifungua, na wakati wowote maskani inapotakiwa kusimamishwa, Walawi watafanya kazi hiyo. Mtu yeyote mwingine ambaye atasogea karibu nayo atauawa.
Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
52 Waisraeli watapiga mahema yao kwa makundi makundi, kila mwanaume katika kambi yake mwenyewe chini ya bendera yake.
The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
53 Hata hivyo, Walawi watapiga mahema yao kuzunguka Maskani ya Ushuhuda ili ghadhabu isiipate jumuiya ya Waisraeli. Walawi watawajibika kwa utunzaji wa Maskani ya Ushuhuda.”
But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Waisraeli walifanya yote haya sawasawa kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
