Numbers 3
1 Ìwọ̀nyí ni ìdílé Aaroni àti Mose ní ìgbà tí Olúwa bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ ní òkè Sinai.
These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
2 Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni nìwọ̀nyí, Nadabu ni àkọ́bí, Abihu, Eleasari àti Itamari.
Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, 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.
They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
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.
But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
5 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
6 “Kó ẹ̀yà Lefi wá, kí o sì fà wọ́n fún Aaroni àlùfáà láti máa ràn án lọ́wọ́.
“Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
7 Wọn yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ fún un àti fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn ní àgọ́ ìpàdé bí wọ́n ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú àgọ́.
They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
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.
They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
9 Fi ẹ̀yà Lefi jì Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn nìkan ni a fi fún Aaroni nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
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.”
Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
11 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
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,
“Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
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.”
because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose ní aginjù Sinai pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
15 “Ka àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn kí o ka gbogbo ọmọkùnrin láti ọmọ oṣù kan sókè.”
“Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
16 Mose sì kà wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un.
So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
17 Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.
Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18 Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni: Libni àti Ṣimei.
Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.

Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
21 Ti Gerṣoni ni ìdílé Libni àti Ṣimei; àwọn ni ìdílé Gerṣoni.
The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
22 Iye àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọ́n jẹ́ oṣù kan ó lé, jẹ́ ẹgbàata ó lé ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀jọ.

The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.

Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
39 Àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí a kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún Mose àti Aaroni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìran wọn, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí ọjọ́ orí wọn jẹ́ ọmọ oṣù kan ó lé jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún.
When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
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.”
Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
42 Mose sì ka gbogbo àkọ́bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un.
So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
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.
The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
44 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.
“Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
46 Nísinsin yìí, láti lè ra ọ̀rìnlúgba dín méje àkọ́bí àwọn Israẹli tó ju iye àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ,
There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
47 ìwọ yóò gba ṣékélì márùn-ún lórí ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye owó ibi mímọ́, èyí tí í ṣe ogún gera.
To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
48 Owó tí a fi ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ Israẹli tó lé yìí, ni kí o kó fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.”
49 Nígbà náà ni Mose gba owó ìràpadà àwọn ènìyàn tó ṣẹ́kù lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ti ra àwọn yòókù padà.
So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.

Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
