Hesabu 3
1 Sasa hii ndiyo historia ya uzao wa Haruni na Musa wakati BWANA aliposema na Musa kwenye mlima Sinai.
Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
2 Majina ya watoto wa Haruni walikuwa Nadabu ambaye ndiyo mtoto wa kwanza, na Abihu, na Eliezeri, na Ithamari.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Haruni, makuhani waliokuwa wamepakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kutumika kama makuhani.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
4 Lakini Nadabu na Abihu walikufa mbele ya BWANA walipomtolea moto usiokubalika walipokuwa katika nyika ya Sinai. Nadabu na Abihu hawakuwa na watoto, kwa hiyo Eliazari na Ithamari walitumika kama makuhani pamoja na 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 children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 BWANA alinena na Musa, akamwambia,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6 “Walete kabila ya Lawi na uwaweke kwa Haruni kuhani ili wamsaidie
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
7 Nao lazima wafanye majukumu badala ya Haruni na jumuiya yote mbele ya hema ya kukutania. Lazima watumike hemani.
And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 Watayatunza mapambo ya hema ya kukutania, na watawatumikia makabila ya Israel kwa huduma ya hemani.
And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 Uwaweke Walawi kwa Haruni na watoto wake. Nimewatoa kikamilifu ili wamsaidie kuwatumikia watu wa Israel.
And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
10 Umchague Haruni na watoto wake kuwa makuhani, lakini mgeni yeyote atakayekaribia lazima auawe.”
And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11 BWANA alinena na Musa. akamwambia,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
12 “Tazama, nimewachagua Walawi katika watu wa Israel. Nimefanya hivyo badala ya kuchukua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume wa wana wa Israel. Hawa Walawi ni wangu.
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
13 Na hata wazaliwa wa kwanza ni mali yangu. Katika siku ambyo niliwavamia wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa nchi ya Misri, Niliwatenga wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli kwa ajili yangu, watu na wanyama pia. Ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.”
for all the first-born are mine; on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast; mine they shall be: I am Jehovah.

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
