< Hesabu 3 >

1 Sasa hii ndiyo historia ya uzao wa Haruni na Musa wakati BWANA aliposema na Musa kwenye mlima Sinai.
These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day [that] the LORD 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.
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 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.
And 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: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
5 BWANA alinena na Musa, akamwambia,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Walete kabila ya Lawi na uwaweke kwa Haruni kuhani ili wamsaidie
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present 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.
And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 to Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given to him out 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 wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11 BWANA alinena na Musa. akamwambia,
And the LORD 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.
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel, instead of all the first-born that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore 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.”
Because all the first-born [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I hallowed to me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be: I [am] the LORD.
14 BWANA alinena na Musa katika nyika ya Sinai. Akasema,

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

But those that encamp before the tabernacle towards the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward [shall be] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary, for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
39 Musa na Haruni wakawahesabu wanaume wote wa ukoo wa Walawi walikuwa na umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi, kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa ameagiza. Walihesabu wanaume ishirini na mbili elfu.
All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.
40 BWANA alisema na Musa, “Wahesabu wanaume wote ambo ni wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli ambao wana umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Orodhesha majina yao.
And the LORD said to Moses, number all the first-born of the 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,”
And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) 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.
42 Musa akawahesabu wazaliwa wa kwanza wote wa Israeli kama BWANA alivyomwagiza kufanya.
And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
43 Aliwahesabu wazaliwa wote wa kwanza kwa mjina, wenye umri wa mwezi mmoja na zaidi. Alihesabu wanaume 22, 273.
And all the first-born males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and seventy and three.
44 Tena BWANA alinena na Musa. Akasema,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.
46 Unikusanyie shekeli tano za wokovu kwa kila hao 273 za hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa Israeli za hao wanaozidi idadi ya Walawi.
And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and seventy and three, of the first-born of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites:
47 Utazitumia hizo shekeli tano kwa kipimo cha mahali patakatifu. Shekeli moja ni sawa na gera ishirini.
Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: the shekel [is] twenty gerahs.
48 Utawalipa hizo shekeli za wokovu kwa Haruni na wanawe.”
And thou shalt give to Aaron and to his sons the money, with which the odd number of them is to be redeemed.
49 Kwa hiyo Musa akakusanya shakeli za wokovu kutoka kwa wale waliozidi idadi ya wale waliookolewa na Walawi.
And Moses took the redemption-money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
50 Musa akakusanya zile fedha kutoka kwa hao wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli. Alikusanya jumla ya shekeli 1, 365, zenye kipimo sawa na mahali patakatifu. Musa akamlipa Haruni na wanawe hizo shekeli za wokovu.
Of the first-born of the children of Israel he took the money; a thousand three hundred and sixty and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary.
51 Musa akafanya kila kitu alichoagizwa na neno la BWANA kama BWANA alivyomwagiza.
And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
