Ang Unang Pagsensos sa Israel
1Sa unang adlaw, sa ikaduhang bulan, sa ikaduhang tuig human mibiya ang mga Israelinhon gikan sa Ehipto, nakigsulti ang Ginoo kang Moises didto sa Tolda nga Tagboanan1:1 Tolda nga Tagboanan: nga mao usab ang Tolda nga Simbahan. Tan-awa ang Lista sa mga Pulong sa luyo. sa kamingawan sa Sinai. Miingon siya, 2“Esensus ninyo ang tibuok katilingban sa Israel sumala sa ilang mga tribo ug pamilya. Ilista ang mga ngalan sa tanang mga lalaki 3nga nagaedad ug 20 ka tuig pataas, nga may katakos sa pagpakiggira. Kamo ni Aaron ang mangunay sa pag-ihap sa matag tribo. 4Motabang kaninyo ang matag pangulo sa matag tribo.” 5-15Mao kini ang mga pangulo sa matag tribo nga motabang kaninyo:
16Mao kini sila ang mga pangulo sa matag tribo nga napili gikan sa katilingban sa Israel.
17-18Gipatigom ni Moises ug ni Aaron kauban niining mga pangulo ang tibuok katilingban niana mismong adlawa. Gipanglista nila ang tanang mga lalaki nga nagaedad ug 20 ka tuig pataas, sumala sa ilang mga tribo ug pamilya. 19Gihimo ni Moises kining pagpanglista didto sa kamingawan sa Sinai, sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kaniya.
20-43Mao kini ang gidaghanon sa mga lalaki nga nagaedad ug 20 ka tuig pataas, nga may katakos sa pagpakiggira, nga nalista sumala sa tribo ug pamilya:
44Mao kini ang gidaghanon sa mga lalaki nga naihap ni Moises ug ni Aaron ug sa 12 ka mga pangulo sa Israel. 45Ang kada usa kanila nalista sumala sa ilang pamilya. Nagaedad silag 20 ka tuig pataas, nga may katakos sa pagpakiggira. 46Sa kinatibuk-an, mikabat ug 603,550 ang ilang gidaghanon. 47Wala iapil niini ang mga kaliwat ni Levi. 48Kay miingon ang Ginoo kang Moises, 49“Ayaw iapil ang tribo ni Levi sa pag-ihap uban sa mga Israelinhon. 50Ihatag kanila ang responsibilidad sa pag-atiman sa Tolda nga Simbahan diin nahimutang ang Kasugoan ug ang tanang mga kagamitan niini. Sila ang modala sa Tolda ug sa tanang kagamitan niini. Kinahanglang atimanon nila ang Tolda ug magkampo sila libot niini. 51Kon ibalhin ang Tolda, sila ang mohipos niini ug mopatindog pagbalik. Si bisan kinsa nga dili kaliwat ni Levi nga moduol sa Tolda, pagapatyon. 52Magkampo ang matag tribo sa Israel sa dapit nga gitagana kanila ug magbutang ug ilang bandera. 53Apan ang mga kaliwat ni Levi kinahanglan magkampo libot sa Tolda diin nahimutang ang Kasugoan, aron dili ako masuko sa tibuok katilingban sa Israel. Ang mga kaliwat ni Levi mao ang responsable sa pag-atiman sa Tolda.”
54Gihimo sa mga Israelinhon ang tanan sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises.
The Census
1The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said: 2“Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one. 3You and Aaron are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more and able to serve in the army. 4One man from each tribe, each of them the head of his family, is to help you. 5These are the names of the men who are to assist you:
from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
6from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
7from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;
8from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;
9from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;
10from the sons of Joseph:
from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud;
from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
11from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;
12from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
13from Asher, Pagiel son of Okran;
14from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
15from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”
16These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes. They were the heads of the clans of Israel.
17Moses and Aaron took these men whose names had been specified, 18and they called the whole community together on the first day of the second month. The people registered their ancestry by their clans and families, and the men twenty years old or more were listed by name, one by one, 19as the Lord commanded Moses. And so he counted them in the Desert of Sinai:
20From the descendants of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families. 21The number from the tribe of Reuben was 46,500.
22From the descendants of Simeon:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were counted and listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families. 23The number from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300.
24From the descendants of Gad:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 25The number from the tribe of Gad was 45,650.
26From the descendants of Judah:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 27The number from the tribe of Judah was 74,600.
28From the descendants of Issachar:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 29The number from the tribe of Issachar was 54,400.
30From the descendants of Zebulun:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 31The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.
32From the sons of Joseph:
From the descendants of Ephraim:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 33The number from the tribe of Ephraim was 40,500.
34From the descendants of Manasseh:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 35The number from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200.
36From the descendants of Benjamin:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 37The number from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400.
38From the descendants of Dan:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 39The number from the tribe of Dan was 62,700.
40From the descendants of Asher:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 41The number from the tribe of Asher was 41,500.
42From the descendants of Naphtali:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 43The number from the tribe of Naphtali was 53,400.
44These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family. 45All the Israelites twenty years old or more who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families. 46The total number was 603,550.
47The ancestral tribe of the Levites, however, was not counted along with the others. 48The Lord had said to Moses: 49“You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites. 50Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant law—over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it. 51Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death. 52The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard. 53The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.”
54The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses.
