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.

And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, on the day that the Lord spoke with 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.

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, 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 are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, who were consecrated to minister 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.

And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father.

5 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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.

Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present the same before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.

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.

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of the congregation, to do 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.

And they shall keep all the vessels of the tent of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of 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.

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: as associates are they given unto him out of the children of Israel.

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.”

And Aaron and his sons shalt thou instruct, that they shall guard well their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

11 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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;

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel instead of every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.

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 mine is every first-born; on the day when I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me every first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be; I am the Lord.

14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

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.

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

16 Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau kiate ia.

And Moses numbered them according to the order of the Lord, as he had been commanded.

17 Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Livai; ko Kesoni, mo Kohate, mo Melali.

And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kehath, and Merari.

18 Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Lipinai, mo Simi.

And these are the names of the sons of Gershon after their families: Libni, and Shimi.

19 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko ʻAmilami, mo ʻIsa, mo Hepeloni, mo ʻUsili.

And the sons of Kehath after their families: 'Amram, and Yizhar, Chebron, and 'Uzziel.

20 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Mali, mo Musi. Pea ko e ngaahi fānau ʻoe kau Livai ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

And the sons of Merari after their families: Machli, and Mushi; these are the families of the Levites according to their family divisions.

21 Pea naʻe ʻia Kesoni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Lipinai, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Simi; pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni ʻakinautolu ni.

Of Gershon: the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites; these are the families of the Gershunites.

22 Ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko fitu afe ma toko nimangeau.

Those that were numbered of them, by the numbering of all the males from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them, were seven thousand and five hundred.

23 Pea ʻe nofo kituʻa ʻi he fale fehikitaki ki he potu lulunga ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni.

The families of the Gershunites used to encamp behind the tabernacle, westward.

24 Pea ko ʻIliasafi ko e foha ʻo Laeli, ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae kau Kesoni.

And the prince of the family division of the Gershunites was Elyassaph the son of Lael.

25 Pea ko e ngāue ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e faletapu, pea mo e fale fehikitaki, mo hono pulonga, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation was the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

26 Pea mo e ngaahi puipui ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe lotoʻā, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale fehikitaki, pea ʻoku takatakai ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi maea ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi ai.

And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar, round about, and its cords for all the service thereof.

27 Pea naʻe ʻia Kohate ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻAmilami, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻIsa, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Hepeloni, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻUsili, pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate ʻakinautolu ni.

And of Kehath: the family of the 'Amramites, and the family of the Yizharites, and the family of the Chebronites, and the family of the 'Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kehathites.

28 Ko e lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko valu afe ma toko onongeau, kuo nau fai ki he ngāue ʻoe faletapu.

By the numbering of all the males, from a month old and upward, they were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

29 Ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate tenau nofo ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

The families of the sons of Kehath used to encamp on the side of the tabernacle, southward.

30 Pea ko ʻElisefani ko e foha ʻo ʻUsili ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate.

And the prince of the division of the families of the Kehathites was Elizaphan the son of 'Uzziel.

31 Pea ko e meʻa kenau tauhi, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e palepale, mo e tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, mo e ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu ʻaia kuo nau ngāueʻaki, pea mo e puipui, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai.

And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary which are used for the service, and the vail, and all belonging thereto.

32 Pea ko ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ko e pule ia ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe kau Livai, pea ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu.

And the chief over the princes of the Levites was Elazar the son of Aaron the priest, having the oversight of those that kept the charge of the sanctuary.

33 Pea naʻe ʻia Melali ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Mali, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Musi: pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali ʻakinautolu ni.

Of Merari: the family of the Machlites, and the family of the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

34 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē, mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ono afe ma toko uangeau.

And those that were numbered of them, by the numbering of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

35 Pea ko Suleli ko e foha ʻo ʻEpieli ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali: ko kinautolu ni, ʻe nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

And the chief of the division of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abichayil: they used to encamp on the side of the tabernacle, northward.

36 Pea ʻoku ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻae ngaahi laupapa ʻoe fale fehikitaki, mo hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, mo hono ngaahi pou, mo hono ngaahi tuʻunga pou, pea mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻi ai.

And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari were the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all that belongeth thereto,

37 Pea mo e ngaahi ʻotu pou ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻunga, mo honau ngaahi tutuki, mo honau ngaahi maea.

And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

38 Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ki he potu hahake, ʻio, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he potu hahake, ko Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha, ke tauhi ai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu ki he ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ko e muli ʻoku haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.

But those that encamped before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation toward the rising of the sun, were Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that came nigh was to be put to death.

39 Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi he kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ua mano ma toko ua afe.

All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses numbered with Aaron, at the order of the Lord, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

40 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke lau ʻae ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, pea ke lau honau hingoa.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

41 Pea ke ʻave ʻae kau Livai moʻoku, (Ko au ko Sihova) ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai, ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

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 first-born among the cattle of the children of Israel.

42 Pea naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia.

And Moses numbered, as the Lord had commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.

43 Pea ko e ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he lau ʻa honau hingoa mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko ua mano, mo e toko ua afe, mo e toko uangeau, mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu.

And all the first-born males, by the numbering of the 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 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

45 “ʻAve ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi hē fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻenau fanga manu pea ko e kau Livai ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu: Ko au ko Sihova.

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 Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, ʻe huhuʻi ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu ʻoe ʻuluaki tama ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu kuo tokolahi hake ʻi he kau Livai;

And [for] those that are to be redeemed, the two hundred and seventy and three of the first-born of the children of Israel, who are more than the Levites,

47 Ke ke ʻave ʻa e[sikeli ]ʻe nima maʻanautolu taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki he[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu: (koe[sikeli ]ko e kela ʻe uofulu: )

Thou shalt take five shekels apiece for the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take, twenty gerahs to the shekel;

48 Pea te ke ʻatu ʻae paʻanga, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha.”

And thou shalt give unto Aaron and to his sons the money, [for] those who are to be redeemed of those that are over the number of them.

49 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae paʻanga huhuʻi ʻokinautolu naʻe tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe huhuʻi ʻe he kau Livai:

And Moses took the redemption-money of those that were over in number above those who were redeemed by the Levites:

50 Naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko e[sikeli ]ʻe afe ma tolungeau ma onongofulu ma nima, ʻo fakatatau mo e[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu:

Of the first-born of the children of Israel did he take the money; a thousand three hundred and sixty and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

51 Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

And Moses gave the money of those who were redeemed unto Aaron and unto his sons, by the order of the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
