Numbers 7
1 When Moses/I had finished setting up the Sacred Tent, he/I dedicated [MTY] it to Yahweh. He/I also dedicated the things that are inside the tent, and the altar [for burning sacrifices], and all the things that would be used at the altar.
Mose atamaliza kuyimika chihema chija, anachidzoza mafuta ndi kuchipatula pamodzi ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Anadzozanso guwa lansembe ndi kulipatula pamodzi ndi ziwiya zake zonse.
2 Then the leaders of the [twelve] Israeli tribes, the same men who had [helped Aaron and Moses/me to] count the men [who could fight in battles],
Kenaka atsogoleri a Aisraeli, akuluakulu a mabanja omwe ankayangʼanira mafuko a anthu omwe anawawerenga aja, anachita chopereka.
3 came to the tent, bringing gifts to Yahweh. They brought six sturdy/large carts and twelve oxen, one ox from each of the leaders and a cart from each of the two leaders.
Anabweretsa zopereka zawo pamaso pa Yehova: ngolo zophimbidwa zisanu ndi imodzi ndiponso ngʼombe zothena khumi ndi ziwiri. Mtsogoleri mmodzi ngʼombe yothena imodzi ndipo atsogoleri awiri ngolo imodzi. Izi anazipereka ku chihema.
4 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
5 “Accept these gifts, in order that the descendants of Levi can use them for carrying the sacred items that are here at the Sacred Tent.”
“Ulandire zimenezi kwa iwo kuti zigwire ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano. Uzipereke kwa Alevi, aliyense monga mwa ntchito yake.”
6 So Moses/I took the carts and oxen and gave them to the descendants of Levi.
Choncho Mose anatenga ngolo ndi ngʼombe zothenazo nazipereka kwa Alevi.
7 He/I gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon for their work,
Anapereka ngolo ziwiri ndi ngʼombe zothena zinayi kwa Ageresoni monga mwantchito yawo
8 and he/I gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari for their work. Aaron’s son Ithamar was the supervisor of all their work.
ndiponso anapereka ngolo zinayi ndi ngʼombe zothena zisanu ndi zitatu kwa Amerari molingananso ndi ntchito yawo. Onsewa ankawayangʼanira anali Itamara mwana wa Aaroni wansembe.
9 But he/I did not give any carts or oxen to the descendants of Kohath, because they took care of the sacred items that were to be carried on their shoulders, [not on carts].
Koma Mose sanapereke zimenezi kwa Akohati chifukwa zinthu zawo zopatulika zomwe ankayangʼanira zinali zoti azinyamula pa mapewa awo.
10 On the day that the altar was dedicated [MTY], the [twelve] leaders brought other gifts to be dedicated and put them in front of the altar.
Guwa la nsembe litadzozedwa, atsogoleri anabweretsa zopereka zawo zopatulira guwa nazipereka paguwapo.
11 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Each of the next twelve days one leader should bring his gifts for the dedication of the altar.”
Pakuti Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tsiku lililonse mtsogoleri mmodzi azibweretsa chopereka chake chopatulira guwa lansembe.”
12 These are the gifts that each of the leaders brought: —a silver dish that weighed (more than three pounds/1.5 kg.), and a silver bowl that weighed (almost two pounds/800 grams), both of which were full of good flour and mixed with [olive] oil to be offerings of grain; they both were weighed using the standard scales; —a small gold dish that weighed (four ounces/14 grams), filled with incense; —a young bull, a [full-grown] ram, and a one-year-old ram, to be sacrifices to be completely burned on the altar; —a goat to be sacrificed to [enable me to forgive the people] the sins they have committed; —and two bulls, five full-grown rams, five male goats, and five rams that were one-year-old, to be sacrifices to maintain the people’s fellowship with Yahweh. This was the order in which the leaders brought their gifts: on the first day, Nahshon, son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah brought his gifts; on the next/second day, Nethanel, son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; on the next/third day, Eliab, son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; on the next/fourth day, Elizur, son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; on the next/fifth day, Shelumiel, son of Jurishhaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; on the next/sixth day, Eliasaph, son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; on the next/seventh day, Elishama, son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Ephraim; on the next/eighth day, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Manasseh; on the next/ninth day, Abidan, son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; on the next/tenth day, Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; on the next/eleventh day, Pagiel, son of Acran, from the tribe of Asher; on the next/twelfth day, Ahira, son of Enam, from the tribe of Naphtali.
