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 YHWH spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 Majina ya watoto wa Haruni walikuwa Nadabu ambaye ndiyo mtoto wa kwanza, na Abihu, na Eliezeri, na Ithamari.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, 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 who 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.
Nadab and Abihu died before YHWH, when they offered strange fire before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 BWANA alinena na Musa, akamwambia,
YHWH spoke to 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 to him.
7 Nao lazima wafanye majukumu badala ya Haruni na jumuiya yote mbele ya hema ya kukutania. Lazima watumike hemani.
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 Watayatunza mapambo ya hema ya kukutania, na watawatumikia makabila ya Israel kwa huduma ya hemani.
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 Uwaweke Walawi kwa Haruni na watoto wake. Nimewatoa kikamilifu ili wamsaidie kuwatumikia watu wa Israel.
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 Umchague Haruni na watoto wake kuwa makuhani, lakini mgeni yeyote atakayekaribia lazima auawe.”
And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to their priesthood; but the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death."
11 BWANA alinena na Musa. akamwambia,
YHWH spoke to 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.
"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 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 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 YHWH."

YHWH 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 Unitwalie walawi kwa ajili yangu badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli, Mimi ndimi BWANA. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wanyama wa uzao wa Israeli,”
You shall take the Levites for me (I am YHWH) 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 Musa akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli kama BWANA alivyomwagiza kufanya.

45 “Watwae Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Na utwae wanyama wa Walawi badala ya wanyama wa Waisreli wengine. Walawi ni mali yangu. Mimi ndimi BWANA.
"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 YHWH.
46 Unikusanyie shekeli tano za wokovu kwa kila hao 273 za hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli za hao wanaozidi idadi 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,

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