Numbers 3
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Alò sa yo se chif desandan a Aaron avèk Moïse nan tan lè SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse sou Mòn Sinaï a.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo: Nadab, premye ne a, Abith, Éléazar ak Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
Sa yo se non a fis Aaron yo, prèt onksyone ke li te konsakre pou sèvi kòm prèt yo.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they offered strange fire before Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Men Nadab avèk Abihu te mouri devan SENYÈ a lè yo te ofri dife etranje devan SENYÈ a nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo pa t gen pitit. Konsa, Éléazar avèk Ithamar te sèvi kòm prèt pandan papa yo, Aaron, t ap viv.
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Mennen tribi Levi a vin pre ou, e fè yo chita devan Aaron, prèt la, pou yo kapab sèvi li.
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Yo va ranpli devwa pou li ak pou tout kongregasyon an devan tant asanble a, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Yo va osi kenbe tout zafè ki founi tant asanble a, ansanm avèk devwa a fis Israël yo, pou fè sèvis tabènak la.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Konsa ou va bay Levit yo a Aaron avèk fis li yo; yo va bay nèt a li pami fis Israël yo.
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Konsa, ou va chwazi Aaron avèk fis li yo pou yo kapab ranpli fonksyon prèt yo, men nenpòt lòt moun ki pwoche va vin mete a lanmò.”
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
“Alò, veye byen, Mwen te pran Levit yo pami fis Israël yo olye de chak premye ne, premye bebe a chak vant pami fis Israël yo. Konsa, Levit yo se pa M.
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh.”
Paske, tout premye ne se pa M yo ye. Nan jou ke M te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, Mwen te sanktifye pou Mwen menm tout premye ne an Israël yo soti nan lòm pou rive nan bèt yo. Yo va pou Mwen; Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a. Li te di:
15 “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
“Konte fis a Levi yo selon lakay papa pa yo, pa fanmi yo; tout gason soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, ou va konte yo.”
16 Moses counted them according to Yahweh’s word, as he was commanded.
Alò, Moïse te konte yo selon pawòl a SENYÈ a, jis jan ke li te kòmande a.
17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Konsa, se sa yo ki te fis a Levi yo pa non yo: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Sa se non a fis a Guerschon yo selon fanmi pa yo: Libni ak Schimeï;
19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Fis a Kehath yo selon fanmi pa yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron ak Uziel;
20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
Fis a Merari yo selon fanmi pa yo: Machli ak Muschi. Sa yo se fanmi Levit yo selon lakay papa pa yo.
21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites. These are the families of the Gershonites.
Nan Guerschon te sòti fanmi a Libni yo ak fanmi a Schimeï yo. Sa yo se te fanmi a Gèchonit yo.
22 Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, even those who were counted of them were seven thousand five hundred.
Nan mesye konte yo tout gason soti nan yon mwa oswa plis te vin konte nan sèt-mil-senk-san.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.
Fanmi a Gèchonit yo te toujou gen pou fè kan dèyè tabènak la nan kote lwès la.
24 Eliasaph the son of Lael shall be the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites.
Chèf a lakay papa yo pami Gèchonit yo te Élaisaph, fis a Laël la.
25 The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Alò, devwa a fis Guerschon yo nan tant asanble a se te tabènak la avèk tant lan, kouvèti li, rido pòtay tant asanble a,
26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
bagay pandye sou galeri a, ki antoure tabènak la ak lotèl la, e kòd li yo avèk tout sèvis konsènan li yo.
27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites.
Nan Kehath, te sòti fanmi a Amramit yo, fanmi Jitseharit yo, fanmi Ebwonit yo avèk fanmi Izyelit yo. Sila yo se te fanmi a Kehath yo.
28 According to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.
Nan konte tout gason nan laj yon mwa oswa plis, te gen ui-mil-sis-san ki t ap fè devwa sanktyè a.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.
Fanmi a Kehath yo te gen pou fè kan nan kote sid a tabènak la,
30 The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
epi chèf a tout kay papa yo pou Kehath yo se te Élitsaphan, fis a Uziel la.
31 Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, the screen, and all its service.
Alò, devwa pa yo se te lach la, tab la, chandelye a, lotèl yo, tout zouti pou sèvis sanktyè a, rido a, ak tout sèvis ki fèt avèk yo.
32 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
Éléazar, fis a Aaron an se te chèf an tèt a chèf Levit yo, e li te responsab pou tout sila ki te fè devwa sanktyè a.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
Nan Merari, te sòti fanmi a Machli yo ak fanmi Muschi yo. Se sa yo ki te fanmi a Merari yo.
34 Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
Mesye pa yo ki te konte pa tout gason ak laj yon mwa oswa plis yo, te si-mil-de-san.
35 The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.
Chèf a lakay papa Merari yo se te Tsuriel, fis a Abihaïl la. Yo te gen pou fè kan sou kote nò a tabènak la.
36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
Alò, devwa a fis Merari yo se te pou okipe ankadreman tabènak la, poto li yo, baz reseptikal li yo, tout bagay sa yo avèk sèvis ki konsène yo,
37 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.
ak pilye ki antoure galeri a, avèk baz reseptikal pa yo avèk pikèt ak kòd yo.
38 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, with Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
Alò, sila ki te gen pou fè kan devan tabènak la vè lès la devan tant asanble a, vè solèy leve a, se te Moïse avèk Aaron avèk fis li yo, ki pou fè devwa sanktyè yo, pou ranpli obligasyon a fis Israël yo. Men nenpòt moun ki pa prèt va vin mete a lanmò si li vin toupre.
39 All who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Tout mesye ki te konte pami Levit yo, ke Moïse avèk Aaron te konte selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, pa fanmi pa yo, tout gason ki te gen yon mwa oswa plis, te venn-de-mil.
40 Yahweh said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Konte tout gason, premye ne pami fis Israël yo soti nan laj yon mwa oswa plis, e fè yon chif ak non yo.
41 You shall take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.”
Ou va pran Levit yo pou Mwen—Mwen se SENYÈ a—olye de premye ne pami fis Israël yo; ak bèt a Levit yo olye de tout premye ne nan bèt a fis Israël yo.”
42 Moses counted, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Konsa, Moïse te konte tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande li a.
43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Tout premye ne nan gason yo soti nan laj a yon mwa oswa plis, mesye ki te konte pou yo te venn-de-mil-de-san-swasann-trèz22,273
44 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
45 “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.
“Pran Levit yo olye de tout premye ne pami fis Israël yo ak bèt a Levit yo olye bèt pa yo. Konsa, Levit yo va pou Mwen: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
Pou ranson a de-san-swasann-trèz nan premye ne an Israël ki plis ke Levit yo,
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
ou va pran senk sik pou chak, pa tèt. Ou va pran yo an valè sik sanktyè a (sik la se ven gera),
48 and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
epi bay Aaron avèk fis li lajan la, ki te peye pou ranson pa Levit yo.”
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Moïse te pran lajan ranson an ki sòti nan sila ki te anplis sila ki te ransonen pa Levit yo;
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
nan men a premye ne a fis Israël yo, li te pran lajan an an valè sik sanktyè a, mil-twa-san-swasann-senk sik.
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to Yahweh’s word, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Epi Moïse te bay lajan ranson an bay Aaron avèk fis li yo, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
