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.
1Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
2Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone; ko Natapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama.
2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
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.
3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
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.
4And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
5And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
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.
6'Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
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.
7And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
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.
8And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
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.
9And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given unto him from the children of Israel.
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.”
10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, that they may keep their priesthood; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.'
11Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
11And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
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;
12'And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine;
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.”
13for all the first-born are Mine: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto Me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast, Mine they shall be: I am the LORD.'
14¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻo pehē,
14And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying:
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.
15'Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.'
16Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fekau kiate ia.
16And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
17Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Livai; ko Kesoni, mo Kohate, mo Melali.
17And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

20And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.

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.
22Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court — which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar, round about—and the cords of it, even whatsoever pertaineth to the service thereof.

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.
40And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
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.”
41And thou shalt take the Levites for Me, even the LORD, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.'

43And all the first-born males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
44And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
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.
45'Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be Mine, even the LORD'S.
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;
46And as for the redemption of the two hundred and three score and thirteen of the first-born of the children of Israel, that are over and above the number of the Levites,
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:)
47thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them — the shekel is twenty gerahs.
48Pea te ke ʻatu ʻae paʻanga, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha.”
48And thou shalt give the money wherewith they that remain over of them are redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons.'
49Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae paʻanga huhuʻi ʻokinautolu naʻe tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe huhuʻi ʻe he kau Livai:
49And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites;
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:
50from the first-born of the children of Israel took he the money: a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
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.
51And Moses gave the redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
