Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai.
1Pea ko eni foki ʻae ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo ʻElone mo Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.
2And these the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone; ko Natapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama.
3These the names of the sons of Aaron the priests that were anointed, and whose hands were filled and consecrated, to do the functions of priesthood.
3Pea ko e hingoa ia ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone naʻe fakanofo ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻakinautolu naʻa ne fakatapui ke ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
4Now Nadab and Abiu died, without children, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the desert of Sinai: and Eleazar and Ithamar performed the priestly office in the presence of Aaron their father.
4Pea naʻe mate ʻa Natapi mo ʻApiu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi heʻena ʻomi ʻae afi kehe ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau: pea ko ʻEliesa mo ʻItama naʻa na ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko ʻena tamai.
5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
5¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
6Bring the tribe of Levi, and make them stand in the sight of Aaron the priest to minister to him, and let them watch,
6“Ke ke fakaofi mai ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, pea fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki koeʻuhi kenau ngāue kiate ia.
7And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,
7Pea tenau tokanga ki heʻene ngāue, mo e ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
8And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.
8Pea tenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mo e ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke fai ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
9And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,
9Pea te ke foaki ʻae kau Livai kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha: kuo foaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kiate ia mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
10To Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered by the children of Israel. But thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The stranger that approacheth to minister, shall be put to death.
10Pea te ke fakanofo ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, pea tenau fai ʻenau ngāue fakataulaʻeiki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”
11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
11Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
12I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
12“Pea ko au, vakai, Ko au kuo ʻomi ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē kuo ne toʻo ʻae manāva ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko ia ai, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻae kau Livai;
13For every firstborn is mine: since I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt: I have sanctified to myself whatsoever is firstborn in Israel both of man and beast, they are mine: I am the Lord.
13Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē; he ko e ʻaho ne u taaʻi ai ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ne u fakatapui ai kiate au ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻae tangata mo e manu; Ko au ko Sihova ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu.”
14And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
14¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻo pehē,
15Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and upward.
15Ke ke lau ʻae fānau ʻa Livai ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina, ke ke lau fakaʻaufuli ʻakinautolu.
16Moses numbered them as the Lord had commanded.
16Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau kiate ia.
17And there were found sons of Levi by their names, Gerson and Caath and Merari.
17Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Livai; ko Kesoni, mo Kohate, mo Melali.
18The sons of Gerson: Lebni and Semei.
18Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Lipinai, mo Simi.
19The sons of Caath: Amram, and Jesaar, Hebron and Oziel:
19Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko ʻAmilami, mo ʻIsa, mo Hepeloni, mo ʻUsili.
20The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi.
20Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Mali, mo Musi. Pea ko e ngaahi fānau ʻoe kau Livai ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
21Of Gerson were two families, the Lebnites, and the Semeites:
21Pea naʻe ʻia Kesoni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Lipinai, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Simi; pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni ʻakinautolu ni.
22Of which were numbered, people of the male sex from one month and upward, seven thousand five hundred.
22Ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko fitu afe ma toko nimangeau.
23These shall pitch behind the tabernacle on the west,
23Pea ʻe nofo kituʻa ʻi he fale fehikitaki ki he potu lulunga ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni.
24Under their prince Eliasaph the son of Lael.
24Pea ko ʻIliasafi ko e foha ʻo Laeli, ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae kau Kesoni.
25And their charge shall be in the tabernacle of the covenant:
25Pea ko e ngāue ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e faletapu, pea mo e fale fehikitaki, mo hono pulonga, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
26The tabernacle itself and the cover thereof, the hanging that is drawn before the doors of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the curtains of the court: the hanging also that is hanged in the entry of the court of the tabernacle, and whatsoever belongeth to the rite of the altar, the cords of the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof.
26Pea mo e ngaahi puipui ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe lotoʻā, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale fehikitaki, pea ʻoku takatakai ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi maea ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi ai.
27Of the kindred of Caath come the families of the Amramites and Jesaarites and Hebronites and Ozielites. These are the families of the Caathites reckoned up by their names:
27¶ Pea naʻe ʻia Kohate ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻAmilami, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻIsa, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Hepeloni, pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau ʻUsili, pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate ʻakinautolu ni.
28All of the male sex from one month and upward, eight thousand six hundred: they shall have the guard of the sanctuary,
28Ko e lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko valu afe ma toko onongeau, kuo nau fai ki he ngāue ʻoe faletapu.
29And shall camp on the south side.
29Ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate tenau nofo ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
30And their prince shall be Elisaphan the son of Oziel:
30Pea ko ʻElisefani ko e foha ʻo ʻUsili ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kohate.
31And they shall keep the ark, and the table and the candlestick, the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary, wherewith they minister, and the veil, and all the furniture of this kind.
31Pea ko e meʻa kenau tauhi, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e palepale, mo e tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, mo e ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu ʻaia kuo nau ngāueʻaki, pea mo e puipui, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai.
32And the prince of the princes of the Levites, Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over them that watch for the guard of the sanctuary.
32Pea ko ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki ko e pule ia ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe kau Livai, pea ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu.
33And of Merari are the families of the Moholites, and Musites, reckoned up by their names:
33¶ Pea naʻe ʻia Melali ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Mali, mo e faʻahinga ʻoe kau Musi: pea ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali ʻakinautolu ni.
34All of the male kind from one month and upward, six thousand two hundred.
34Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻoe kakai tangata kotoa pē, mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ono afe ma toko uangeau.
35Their prince Suriel the son of Abihaiel: they shall camp on the north side.
35Pea ko Suleli ko e foha ʻo ʻEpieli ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe fale ʻoe tamai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Melali: ko kinautolu ni, ʻe nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
36Under their custody shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars and their sockets, and all things that pertain to this kind of service:
36Pea ʻoku ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ʻae ngaahi laupapa ʻoe fale fehikitaki, mo hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, mo hono ngaahi pou, mo hono ngaahi tuʻunga pou, pea mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻi ai.
37And the pillars of the court round about with their sockets, and the pins with their cords.
37Pea mo e ngaahi ʻotu pou ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻunga, mo honau ngaahi tutuki, mo honau ngaahi maea.
38Before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is to say on the east side, shall Moses and Aaron camp, with their sons, having the custody of the sanctuary, in the midst of the children of Israel. What stranger soever cometh unto it, shall be put to death.
38¶ Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ki he potu hahake, ʻio, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he potu hahake, ko Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha, ke tauhi ai ʻae ngāue ʻoe faletapu ki he ngāue ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ko e muli ʻoku haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
39All the Levites, that Moses and Aaron numbered according to the precept of the Lord, by their families, of the male kind from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
39Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi he kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko e toko ua mano ma toko ua afe.
40And the Lord said to Moses: Number the firstborn of the male sex of the children of Israel, from one month and upward, and thou shalt take the sum of them.
40¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke lau ʻae ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, pea ke lau honau hingoa.
41And thou shalt take the Levites to me for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattle for all the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel:
41Pea ke ʻave ʻae kau Livai moʻoku, (Ko au ko Sihova) ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai, ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
42Moses reckoned up, as the Lord had commanded, the firstborn of the children of Israel:
42Pea naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia.
43And the males by their names, from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
43Pea ko e ʻuluaki tama tangata kotoa pē ʻi he lau ʻa honau hingoa mei hono taha māhina ʻo fai hake, ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko ua mano, mo e toko ua afe, mo e toko uangeau, mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu.
44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:
44¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
45Take the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
45“ʻAve ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi hē fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea mo e fanga manu ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻenau fanga manu pea ko e kau Livai ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu: Ko au ko Sihova.
46But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of the Levites,
46Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, ʻe huhuʻi ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko tolu ʻoe ʻuluaki tama ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu kuo tokolahi hake ʻi he kau Livai;
47Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
47Ke ke ʻave ʻa e sikeli ʻe nima maʻanautolu taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki he sikeli ʻoe faletapu: (koe sikeli ko e kela ʻe uofulu:)
48And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.
48Pea te ke ʻatu ʻae paʻanga, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha.”
49Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,
49Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae paʻanga huhuʻi ʻokinautolu naʻe tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe huhuʻi ʻe he kau Livai:
50For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,
50Naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko e sikeli ʻe afe ma tolungeau ma onongofulu ma nima, ʻo fakatatau mo e sikeli ʻoe faletapu:
51And gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
51Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
