Numbers 1
1 In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
Erga sabni Israaʼel biyya Gibxiitii baʼee booddee waggaa lammaffaa keessaa, guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa lammaffaatti Waaqayyo dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti, Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti Museetti dubbate. Innis akkana jedheen;
2 “I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
“Waldaa saba Israaʼel hunda lakkaaʼaatii balbala balbalaanii fi maatii maatiidhaan maqaa dhiirotaa tokko tokkoon barreessaa.
Namoota Israaʼel keessaa dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaatii fi hammasii olii kanneen lola dhaquu dandaʼan hunda atii fi Aroon kutaa kutaa isaaniitiin lakkaaʼaa.
4 [I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
Tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa namni hangafa maatii ofii isaa taʼe isin gargaaruu qaba.
5 Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
“Maqaan namoota isin gargaaruu qabanii kanneenii dha: “Gosa Ruubeen keessaa Eliizuur ilma Shedeeʼuur;
gosa Simiʼoon keessaa Shilumiiʼeel ilma Zuriishadaayi;
gosa Yihuudaa keessaa Nahishoon ilma Amiinaadaab;
gosa Yisaakor keessaa Naatnaaʼel ilma Zuuwaar;
gosa Zebuuloon keessaa Eliiyaab ilma Heeloon;
ilmaan Yoosef keessaa: gosa Efreem keessaa Eliishaamaa ilma Amiihuud; gosa Minaasee keessaa Gamaaliʼeel ilma Phedaasuur;
gosa Beniyaam keessaa Abiidaan ilma Gaadeyoon,
gosa Daan keessaa Ahiiʼezer ilma Amiishadaay;
gosa Aasheer keessaa Fagiʼeel ilma Okraan;
gosa Gaad keessaa Eliyaasaaf ilma Deʼuuʼeel;
gosa Niftaalem keessaa Ahiiraa ilma Eenaan.”
16 Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
Namoonni kunneen warra dura buʼoota gosoota abbootii isaanii taʼanii waldaa sana keessaa filatamanii dha. Isaanis hangafoota balbalawwan Israaʼel turan.
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
Musee fi Aroon namoota maqaan isaanii eerame kanneen fudhatanii,
18 and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa lammaffaatti waldaa hunda walitti waaman. Namoonni sunis akkuma balbalaa fi maatii isaaniitti hidda dhaloota isaanii himatan; dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaatii fi hammasii olii maqaan isaanii tokko tokkoon galmeeffame;
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
innis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti saba sana lakkaaʼe.
20 This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

46 The total was 603,550 men.
Walumaa galatti baayʼinni namaa 603,550 ture.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
Lewwonni garuu akka gosa abbootii isaaniitti warra kaan wajjin hin lakkaaʼamne.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhee ture:
49 “When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
“Ati gosa Lewwii hin lakkaaʼin yookaan lakkoobsa saba Israaʼeloota kaaniitti hin dabalin.
50 Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
Qooda kanaa akka Lewwonni itti gaafatamtoota dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa, miʼa isaa hundaa fi waan inni qabu hundaa taʼaniif isaan muudi. Isaanis dunkaana qulqulluu fi miʼa isaa hunda haa baatan; dunkaanicha haa tajaajilan; naannoo isaas haa qubatan.
51 Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
Yeroo dunkaanni qulqulluun deemuu qabutti Lewwonni dunkaana sana haa buqqisan; yeroo dunkaanichi dhaabamus Lewwonni haa dhaaban. Namni dunkaanichatti dhiʼaatu biraa haa ajjeefamu.
52 The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
Israaʼeloonnis tokkoon tokkoon namaa qubata isaa keessaa fi faajjii isaa jalatti kutaa kutaadhaan dunkaana isaanii haa dhaabbatan.
53 But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
Taʼus Lewwonni akka dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo waldaa Israaʼelitti gad hin buuneef dunkaanota isaanii naannoo dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa haa dhadhaabatan. Lewwonni eegumsa dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaatti itti gaafatamtoota taʼuu qabu.”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Israaʼeloonni akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sanatti waan kana hunda hojjetan.
