“Mixlẽ Israelvi siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema ne miakpɔ ame siwo ate ŋu ayi aʋa tso to ɖe sia ɖe kple hlɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe me.”

10 And the earth, opening its mouth, devoured Korah, with many others dying, when the fire burned two hundred fifty men. And a great miracle was wrought,
Eya ta anyigba ke nu mi wo, eye dzo tso Yehowa gbɔ wu ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃ wòzu ŋkuɖodzinu.

52 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Azɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
53 “The land shall be divided to these, as their possessions, according to the number of their names.
“Wòama anyigba la ɖe to vovovoawo dome le toawo me tɔwo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu, abe ale si amexexlẽ la fia ene.
54 To the greater number you shall give a greater portion, and to the lesser number, a lesser portion. To each one, just as they have now been counted, a possession shall be delivered.
To siwo me amewo sɔ gbɔ le la, woaxɔ anyigba wòalolo, eye to siwo me amewo mesɔ gbɔ le o la ƒe anyigba nanɔ sue.
55 Yet only in so far as the land is divided by lot to a tribe and to families.
Yehowa ɖo na Mose be, Kpɔ egbɔ be yewodzidze nu hafi ma anyigba la, eye woaxɔ domenyinu ɖe wo fofowo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔ nu.
56 Whatever the lot will happen to be, it shall be accepted, either by the greater, or by the lesser.
Woama domenyinu ɖe sia ɖe to akɔdada me ɖe to gãwo kple to suewo siaa dome.”
57 Likewise, this is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gershon, from whom is the family of the Gershonites; Kohath, from whom is the family of the Kohathites; Merari, from whom is the family of the Merarites.

Nadab kple Abihu woku esi wodo dzudzɔ makɔmakɔ na Yehowa.)
62 And these were all who were numbered: twenty-three thousand of the male gender, from one month and above. For they were not counted among the sons of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the others.
Levi ƒe vi siwo katã woxlẽ wonye ŋutsuwo, eye woxɔ ɣleti ɖeka alo wu nenema la de ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃. Ke womebu Levi ƒe viwo de Israelviwo ƒe amexexlẽ ƒe nukpɔkpɔ blibo la me o, elabena womena anyigba Levi ƒe viwo esi woma anyigba ɖe toawo dome o.
63 This is the number of the sons of Israel, who were enrolled by Moses and by Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
Ale esiae nye Israelvi siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar tia xlẽ le Moab gbegbe le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to le Yeriko kasa.
64 Among these, not one of them was numbered before, by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.
Wo dometɔ ɖeka gɔ̃ hã menɔ ame siwo Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar xlẽ esime woxlẽ Israelviwo le Sinai gbegbe la dome o.
65 For the Lord had foretold that all would die in the wilderness. And not one of them remained, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Israelvi mawo be, woaku godoo le gbegbe la; wo dometɔ aɖeke mesusɔ o, negbe Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu.
