WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 En la época en que el Señor habló a Moisés en el monte Sinaí,
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 los hijos de Aarón eran: Nadab (el mayor), Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Todos ellos fueron ungidos para el sacerdocio, y dedicados para el servicio del santuario.
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.
4 Pero Nadab y Abiú murieron delante del Señor en el desierto del Sinaí, porque utilizaron un fuego diferente al que Dios les había indicado. Y como no tenían hijos, sólo quedaron Eleazar e Itamar para ayudar a su padre Aarón.
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.
5 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6 «Convoca a la tribu de Leví y preséntalos a Aarón, para que sean sus ayudantes.
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
7 Seguirán sus instrucciones y realizarán los deberes sagrados del santuario en lugar de todo el pueblo de Israel, al cual representan. Se encargarán de todos los suministros del santuario y de su mantenimiento.
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.

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.

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.”
11 Además el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12 «He aceptado a los levitas en sustitución de todos los primogénitos del pueblo de Israel. Los levitas me pertenecen
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,
13 a cambio de todos los primogénitos. Desde el día en que maté a todos los primogénitos de los egipcios, me he reservado para mí a todos los primogénitos de Israel, tanto de hombres como de animales. Son míos: Yo soy el Señor».
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.”
14 El Señor le habló de nuevo a Moisés en el desierto del Sinaí, diciéndole:
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 «Haz el censo de la tribu de Leví, indicando el clan a que pertenece cada persona; cuenta todos los hombres desde un mes de nacidos en adelante».
15 “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
