< Numbers 3 >

1 Ìwọ̀nyí ni ìdílé Aaroni àti Mose ní ìgbà tí Olúwa bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀ ní òkè Sinai.
Now this is the history of the descendants of Aaron and Moses when Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 Orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Aaroni nìwọ̀nyí, Nadabu ni àkọ́bí, Abihu, Eleasari àti Itamari.
The names of Aaron's sons were Nadab the firstborn, and 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.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and who were ordained to serve as 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 Nadab and Abihu fell dead before Yahweh when they offered to him unacceptable fire in the wilderness of Sinai. Nadab and Abihu had no children, so just Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with Aaron their father.
5 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 “Kó ẹ̀yà Lefi wá, kí o sì fà wọ́n fún Aaroni àlùfáà láti máa ràn án lọ́wọ́.
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest for them to help 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 must perform the duties on behalf of Aaron and the whole community before the tent of meeting. They must serve in the tabernacle.
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 care for all the furnishings in the tent of meeting, and they must help the tribes of Israel to carry out the tabernacle service.
9 Fi ẹ̀yà Lefi jì Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn nìkan ni a fi fún Aaroni nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
You must give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are wholly given to help him serve the people 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.”
You must appoint Aaron and his sons as priests, but any foreigner who comes near must be put to death.”
11 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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,
“Look, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel. I have done this instead of taking each firstborn male who is born among the people of Israel. The Levites 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.”
All the firstborn belong to me. On the day that I attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set apart for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both people and animals. They belong to me. I am Yahweh.”
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose ní aginjù Sinai pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai. 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 descendants of Levi in each family, in their clans. Count every male who is one month old and older.”
16 Mose sì kà wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un.
Moses counted them, following the word of Yahweh, just as he was commanded to do.

You must take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn of the people of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of the firstborn of the livestock of the descendants of Israel.”

Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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 instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel, and take the Levites' livestock instead of the people's livestock. The Levites belong to me—I am Yahweh.

So Moses collected the payment of redemption from those who exceeded the number of those redeemed by the Levites.
