Nomipā 3
1 Pea ko eni foki ʻae ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo ʻElone mo Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.
This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone; ko Natapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama.
The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Pea ko e hingoa ia ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone naʻe fakanofo ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻakinautolu naʻa ne fakatapui ke ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
4 Pea naʻe mate ʻa Natapi mo ʻApiu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi heʻena ʻomi ʻae afi kehe ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau: pea ko ʻEliesa mo ʻItama naʻa na ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko ʻena tamai.
Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord's presence when they offered forbidden fire before the Lord in the Sinai desert. Since they didn't have any sons, Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests while their father Aaron was alive.
5 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
The Lord told Moses,
6 “Ke ke fakaofi mai ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, pea fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki koeʻuhi kenau ngāue kiate ia.
“Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
7 Pea tenau tokanga ki heʻene ngāue, mo e ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
They are to carry out duties on his behalf and for all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, looking after the service of the Tabernacle.
8 Pea tenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mo e ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
They are responsible for caring for all the furniture of the Tent of Meeting, serving the Israelites through what they do in the Tabernacle.
9 Pea te ke foaki ʻae kau Livai kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha: kuo foaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kiate ia mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
10 Pea te ke fakanofo ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, pea tenau fai ʻenau ngāue fakataulaʻeiki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”
You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to have the responsibility of the priesthood. Anyone else who tries to act as a priest must be executed.”
11 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
The Lord told Moses,
12 “Pea ko au, vakai, Ko au kuo ʻomi ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē kuo ne toʻo ʻae manāva ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko ia ai, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae kau Livai;
“I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
13 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē; he ko e ʻaho ne u taaʻi ai ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ne u fakatapui ai kiate au ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻae tangata mo e manu; Ko au ko Sihova ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu.”
because all the firstborn are mine. When I killed every firstborn in Egypt I set apart as holy to me all the firstborn of Israel, human and animal. They are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻo pehē,
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,
15 Ke ke lau ʻae fānau ʻa Livai ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina, ke ke lau fakaʻaufuli ʻakinautolu.
“Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
16 Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau kiate ia.
