Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
Lè nou remoute nan tan Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz sou mòn Sinayi a, men moun ki te nan fanmi Arawon ak Moyiz.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Men non pitit Arawon yo: se te Nadab, pi gran an. Apre li vin Abiyou, Eleaza ak Itama.
3 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.
Se yo menm Bondye te chwazi, li te ba yo pouvwa pou yo te sèvi l' prèt.
4 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.
Men, Nabad ak Abiyou te mouri nan dezè Sinayi a, lè yo te ofri bay Seyè a yon dife yo pa t' gen dwa ofri ba li. Yo pa te gen pitit. Konsa, se Eleaza ak Itama ki te sèvi prèt ansanm ak Arawon, papa yo.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
6 “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,
-Fè moun fanmi Levi yo pwoche. Mete yo ansanm ak Arawon, prèt la, pou yo ka ede l' nan travay l'ap fè a.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Y'a travay nan kay Bondye a, y'a fè tout kalite sèvis ki gen pou fèt pou Arawon ak pou pèp la devan Tant Randevou a.
8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Yo va reskonsab tout bagay ki anndan Tant Randevou a. Y'a fè tout travay moun Izrayèl yo ta gen pou yo fè nan Tant Randevou a.
9 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.
W'a mete yo sou kont Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Wi, nan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a pran moun fanmi Levi yo, w'a mete yo sou kont prèt yo pou toutan.
10 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.”
Men, w'a bay Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo reskonsablite tout travay prèt yo. Si yon lòt moun ki pa prèt ta konprann pou li fè travay prèt yo, se pou yo touye l'.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' ankò:
12 “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.
-Gade non! Nan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, mwen chwazi moun fanmi Levi yo. Mwen pran yo nan plas premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se pou mwen yo ye.
13 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.”
Paske, tout premye pitit gason yo se pou mwen yo ye. Depi jou mwen te touye tout premye pitit gason moun peyi Lejip yo, mwen te mete tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo apa pou mwen, ansanm ak tout premye ti mal bèt yo fè. Se pou mwen menm yo tout ye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz nan dezè Sinayi a, li di l' konsa:
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
-Ou pral fè resansman tout moun Levi yo, dapre fanmi yo, dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo. W'a konte tout gason depi sa ki gen yon mwa depi yo fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo.
16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Moyiz fè resansman an dapre lòd Seyè a te ba l' a. Li konte yo jan Seyè a te di l' fè l' la.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Men non twa pitit gason Levi yo: Se te Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
Men non pitit Gèchon yo ak tout fanmi yo: Se te Libni ak Chimèyi.
19 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Men non pitit Keyat yo ak tout fanmi yo: Se te Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl.
20 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
Men non pitit gason Merari yo ak tout fanmi yo: Se te Makli ak Mouchi. Men non fanmi moun Levi yo, dapre non zansèt yo.
21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
Te gen de fanmi nan branch Gèchon an: Se te pitit Libni yo ak pitit Chimeyi yo. Se tout fanmi Gèchon yo sa.
22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
Lè yo konte gason yo, depi sa ki te gen yon mwa depi yo fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo, yo jwenn sètmil senksan (7.500) gason.
23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Fanmi sa yo te rete dèyè kay Bondye a, sou bò solèy kouche.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Se Elyasaf, pitit gason Layèl la, ki te chèf fanmi Gèchon yo.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
Se yo ki te reskonsab kay Bondye a, ak de tant ki kouvri l' yo, rido ki nan pòt devan Tant Randevou a,
26 the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.
rido pou galeri ki fè wonn Tant Randevou a ak lotèl la, rido ki nan pòt devan galeri a ak tout kòd yo bezwen pou sèvi nan kay Bondye a.
27 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,
Te gen kat fanmi nan branch Keyat la: Se te pitit Amram yo, pitit Jizeya yo, pitit Ebwon yo ak pitit Ouzyèl yo. Se tout fanmi Keyat yo sa.
28 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
Lè yo konte tout gason yo, depi sa ki gen yon mwa depi yo fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo, yo jwenn witmil sisan (8.600) gason. Se yo ki te reskonsab kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a nan kay Bondye a.
29 and they shall encamp toward the south side.
Fanmi sa yo te moute kan yo sou bò sid kay Bondye a.
30 And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
Se Elizafan, pitit gason Ouzyèl la, ki te chèf fanmi Keyat yo.
31 And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.
Se yo ki te reskonsab Bwat Kontra a, tab la, gwo lanp sèt branch lan, lotèl yo ak tout bagay ki sèvi nan kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, rido yo ansanm ak tout bagay ki mache avèk rido yo.
32 But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.
Se Eleaza, pitit gason Arawon, prèt la, ki te chèf tout chèf fanmi Levi yo. Se li ki te kontwole travay moun ki te reskonsab kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a.
33 And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
Te gen de fanmi nan branch fanmi Merari a: se te pitit Makli yo ak pitit Mouchi yo. Se tout fanmi Merari yo sa.
34 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.
Lè yo konte tout gason yo, depi sa ki gen yon mwa depi yo fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo, yo jwenn simil desan (6.200) gason.
35 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
Se Zouryèl, pitit gason Abikayil la, ki te chèf fanmi Merari yo. Yo te moute kan yo sou bò nò kay Bondye a.
36 Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,
Se yo ki te reskonsab ankadreman pou soutni kay Bondye a, travès yo, poto yo, sipò yo ak tout rido yo ansanm ak tout bagay ki sèvi ak yo.
37 and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
Yo te reskonsab poto, sipò, pikèt ak kòd pou soutni galeri yo tou.
38 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.
Moyiz, Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo te moute kay pa yo devan Tant Randevou a, sou bò lès. Se yo ki te reskonsab pou fè sèvis nan kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye a pou pèp Izrayèl la. Tout lòt moun ki ta konprann pou yo fè travay prèt yo, se pou yo touye yo.
39 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.
Lè Moyiz ak Arawon te fè resansman moun fanmi Levi yo, chak fanmi apa, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay yo a, yo jwenn antou venndemil (22.000) gason, depi sa ki te gen yon mwa depi yo te fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo.
40 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.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pran non tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo, depi sa ki gen yon mwa depi yo fèt jouk sa ki pi gran yo. W'a konte konbe ki genyen.
41 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.”
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a. W'a pran moun fanmi Levi yo, w'a mete yo apa pou mwen nan plas tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Konsa tou, w'a pran tout bèt ki pou moun fanmi Levi yo, w'a mete yo apa pou mwen nan plas premye ti mal bèt moun Izrayèl yo va fè.
42 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Moyiz pran non tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba l' a.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Li konte tout premye pitit gason yo, depi sa ki te gen yon mwa jouk sa ki pi gran yo. Li jwenn venndemil desanswasanntrèz (22.273).
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
45 “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.
-Pran moun fanmi Levi yo, mete yo apa pou mwen nan plas premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Epi w'a mete bèt moun Levi yo apa pou mwen tou nan plas premye ti mal bèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo va fè. Konsa, tout moun Levi yo va pou mwen. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
46 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,
Ou te jwenn te gen plis premye pitit gason nan pèp Izrayèl la pase te gen moun Levi. Te gen desanswasanntrèz (273) an plis. Men sa pou yo peye pou sove lavi desansousanntrèz premye pitit gason sa yo.
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
Pou yo chak, y'a bay senk pyès ajan, dapre sistèm lajan yo sèvi nan kay Bondye a: vin gara pou yon pyès ajan.
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
W'a pran lajan yo peye pou sove lavi sa ki an plis yo, w'a bay Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo.
49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Se konsa, Moyiz pran lajan yo te peye pou sove lavi premye pitit gason ki te an plis sou kantite moun Levi yo.
50 in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
Li pran mil twasanswasannsenk (1.365) pyès lajan nan men premye pitit moun Izrayèl yo, dapre sistèm lajan yo sèvi nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a.
51 And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
Apre sa, Moyiz pran tout lajan yo te peye pou sove lavi rès premye pitit gason yo, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay la, li bay Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo, jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
