1 H addaba kuwanu waxa weeye farcammadii Haaruun iyo Muuse waagii Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay Buur Siinay.

These are the people of Aaron and Moses at the time when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

2 O o kuwanu waa wiilashii Haaruun magacyadoodii, Naadaab oo curadkii ahaa, iyo Abiihuu, iyo Elecaasaar, iyo Iitaamaar.

The names of the sons of Aaron are Nadab the first-born, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

3 K uwaasu waa wiilashii Haaruun magacyadoodii, oo waa wadaaddadii la subkay oo uu gooni uga dhigay inay adeegaan shuqulka wadaadnimada.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the chosen religious leaders. Aaron set them apart to work as religious leaders.

4 N aadaab iyo Abiihuu waxay ku dhinteen Rabbiga hortiisa, markay dab qalaad ku bixiyeen Rabbiga hortiisa iyagoo cidlada Siinay jooga, oo iyagu carruurna ma ay lahayn. Markaasay Elecaasaar iyo Iitaamaar shuqulkii wadaadnimada kaga adeegi jireen aabbahood Haaruun hortiisa.

But Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they made a fire that was not holy to the Lord in the Desert of Sinai. And they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar worked as religious leaders during the life-time of their father Aaron. The Levites Serve in the Meeting Tent

5 K olkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

6 Q abiilka reer Laawi soo dhowee oo wadaadka Haaruun hortiisa keen inay isaga u adeegaan.

“Bring the family of Levi near. Set them in front of Aaron the religious leader so they may serve him.

7 O o iyagu waa inay amarkiisa iyo amarka shirka oo dhan ku yeelaan teendhada shirka horteeda si ay hawsha taambuugga u sameeyaan.

They will do the duties for him and for all the people in front of the meeting tent. They will do the work around the meeting tent,

8 O o waa inay dhawraan alaabta teendhada shirka oo dhan, iyo amarka reer binu Israa'iil, si ay hawsha taambuugga u sameeyaan.

and will keep all the things that belong to the meeting tent. They will take care of the duties for the people of Israel as they work around the meeting tent.

9 O o adigu waa inaad reer Laawi siisaa Haaruun iyo wiilashiisaba, oo iyaga dhammaantood waa la siiyey reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.

You will give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are all given to him from among the people of Israel.

10 O o waa inaad Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa doorataa, oo iyagu waa inay dhawraan wadaadnimadooda, oo shisheeyihii u soo dhowaadana waa in la dilaa.

Set apart Aaron and his sons to do the work of religious leaders. But if anyone comes near who is not a religious leader, he must be put to death.”

11 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

The Lord said to Moses,

12 O o bal eeg, anna waxaan reer Laawi kala dhex baxay reer binu Israa'iil intii aan ka qaadan lahaa curadyada reer binu Israa'iil ee maxalka furta oo dhan, oo reer Laawi waxay ahaanayaan kuwaygii,

“See, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of every first-born among the people of Israel. The Levites will be Mine.

13 w aayo, curadyada oo dhan anigaa iska leh. Maalintii aan curadyadii Masar oo dhan wada laayay ayaan quduus ka wada dhigtay curadyada reer binu Israa'iil, dad iyo duunyoba, oo iyagu kuwaygay ahaanayaan, waayo, aniga ayaa Rabbiga ah.

For all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I killed all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I set apart for My own all the first-born in Israel, both man and animal. They will be Mine. I am the Lord.” The Levites Are Numbered

There are 273 first-born of the sons of Israel, who are more in number than the Levites. You must pay the price for each of them.

Take five pieces of silver for each, by the weight of silver agreed upon for the meeting tent.

48 O o tiradooda dheeraadka ah lacagta lagu madax furtay waa inaad Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa siisaa.

Give the money, the price of those who are more in number than the Levites, to Aaron and his sons.”

49 M arkaasaa Muuse lacagtii ka qaaday kuwii ka sii badnaa kuwii lagu madax furtay reer Laawi.

So Moses took the money to pay for those who were more in number than the Levites.

He took the money from the first-born sons of Israel, by the weight agreed upon for the meeting tent. He took 1, 365 pieces of silver.

51 O o Muuse lacagtii madaxfurashada ahayd wuxuu u dhiibay Haaruun iyo wiilashiisii, siduu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray.
