1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

Ke len se oemeet ke malem se akluo in yac se akluo tukun mwet Israel illa liki acn Egypt, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel yen mwesis Sinai. El fahk,

2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one,

“Kom ac Aaron in oru sie oaoa lulap ke sruf ac sou nukewa lun mwet Israel. Simusla inen mukul nukewa

3 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall count them by their divisions.

Tusruktu, mwet Levi elos tuh tia wi simla inelos in oana sruf saya uh,

48 For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

mweyen LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

49 “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

“Ke pacl se kom oru oaoa lulap ke inen mukul ma fal in wi mweun, nimet sang sruf lal Levi nu kac.

50 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.

A kom fah sang sruf Levi in fosrngakin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik ac kufwa nukewa nu kac. Elos fah us ma inge nukewa, ac elos pa ac kulansap loac. Elos in tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos rauneak.

51 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

Kutena pacl kowos ac mukuila nu ke sie pacna acn, ma kunen mwet Levi in tuleya Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac sifilpa tulokunak ke nien aktuktuk sasu. Kutena mwet saya su tuku apkuran nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac fah anwuki.

52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

Sruf nukewa sayen sruf lal Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos fal nu ke kais sie u lalos, ac in oasr kais sie flag lun kais sie u.

53 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

A mwet Levi fah tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik tuh elos in karingin in wangin sie fah tuku apkuran nu kac ac pwanak kasrkusrak luk uh in putati fin mwet Israel nukewa.”

54 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they did.

Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos oru ma nukewa oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
