< Numbers 3 >
1 Ìwọ̀nyí ni ìdílé Aaroni àti Mose ní ìgbà tí Olúwa bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ ní òkè Sinai.
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
2 Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni nìwọ̀nyí, Nadabu ni àkọ́bí, Abihu, Eleasari àti Itamari.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni ni ìwọ̀nyí, àwọn àlùfáà tí a fi òróró yàn, àwọn tí a fi joyè àlùfáà láti ṣiṣẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n Nadabu àti Abihu ti kú níwájú Olúwa nígbà tí wọ́n rú iná àjèjì níwájú Olúwa nínú ijù Sinai, àwọn méjèèjì kò sì ní ọmọ. Báyìí Eleasari àti Itamari ló ṣiṣẹ́ àlùfáà nígbà ayé Aaroni baba wọn.
For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 “Kó ẹ̀yà Lefi wá, kí o sì fà wọ́n fún Aaroni àlùfáà láti máa ràn án lọ́wọ́.
“Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
7 Wọn yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ fún un àti fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn ní àgọ́ ìpàdé bí wọ́n ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú àgọ́.
and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 Wọn yóò máa tọ́jú gbogbo ohun èlò inú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì máa ṣe ojúṣe àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nípa ṣíṣe iṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́.
and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
9 Fi ẹ̀yà Lefi jì Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn nìkan ni a fi fún Aaroni nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.
10 Kí o sì yan Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ àlùfáà; àlejò tó bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́ pípa ni kí ẹ pa á.”
But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”
11 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Báyìí èmi fúnra mi ti mú ẹ̀yà Lefi láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí ọkùnrin àwọn ọmọbìnrin Israẹli. Ti èmi ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi,
“I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
13 nítorí pé ti èmi ni gbogbo àkọ́bí. Ní ọjọ́ tí mo pa gbogbo àkọ́bí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni mo ti ya gbogbo àkọ́bí sọ́tọ̀ ní Israẹli yálà ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko. Gbogbo wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ti èmi. Èmi ni Olúwa.”
For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose ní aginjù Sinai pé,
And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
15 “Ka àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn kí o ka gbogbo ọmọkùnrin láti ọmọ oṣù kan sókè.”
“Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
16 Mose sì kà wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un.
Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
17 Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.

The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,

Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.

All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand.

And the Lord said to Moses: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
41 Kí o sì gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí o sì gba gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún mi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Èmi ni Olúwa.”
And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”
42 Mose sì ka gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
43 Àpapọ̀ iye àwọn àkọ́bí ọkùnrin láti ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé, ní àkọsílẹ̀ orúkọ wọn jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ó lé ọ̀rìnlúgba ó dín méje.
And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
44 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
45 “Gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti ohun ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò ohun ọ̀sìn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Tèmi ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi. Èmi ni Olúwa.
“Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
46 Nísinsin yìí, láti lè ra ọ̀rìnlúgba dín méje àkọ́bí àwọn Israẹli tó ju iye àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ,
But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
47 ìwọ yóò gba ṣékélì márùn-ún lórí ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye owó ibi mímọ́, èyí tí í ṣe ogún gera.
you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
48 Owó tí a fi ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ Israẹli tó lé yìí, ni kí o kó fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.”
And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
49 Nígbà náà ni Mose gba owó ìràpadà àwọn ènìyàn tó ṣẹ́kù lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ti ra àwọn yòókù padà.
Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
50 Mose sì gba egbèje ṣékélì ó dín márùndínlógójì gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ lọ́wọ́ àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
