And they shall put over it a covering of badgers' skins, and they shall spread over all a cloth wholly of blue [woollen yarn], and they shall put in its staves.
7 “Pa tebulo pamene pamakhala buledi wa ansembe aziyalapo nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, ndipo aziyikapo mbale, mabeseni, zipande ndi mitsuko yoperekera nsembe yachakumwa. Aziyikaponso buledi wokhala pamenepo nthawi zonse.
And over the table of the showbread shall they spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the tubes, and the staves of the covering; and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 Tsono pamwamba pa izi aziyalapo nsalu yofiira, ndi kuzikuta mʼzikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyika mitengo yonyamulira mʼmalo mwake.
And they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put in its staves.

And they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers' skins, and they shall put it upon a barrow.

And over the golden altar shall they spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put in its staves.
12 “Azitenga zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito ku malo wopatulika, azizikulunga mʼnsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, azizikuta ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika pa zonyamulira zake.
And they shall take all the vessels of the service, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put them on a barrow.

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread over it a cloth of purple;
14 Kenaka aziyikapo zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito potumikira pa guwa, kuphatikizapo miphika yowotchera nyama, mafoloko otengera nyama, zowolera phulusa ndi mbale zowazira magazi pa guwa lansembe ndipo pamwamba pake aziyalapo zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika mʼzonyamulira zake.
And they shall put upon it all its vessels, wherewith they minister upon it, the fire-pans, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread over it a covering of badgers' skins, and put in its staves.

And when Aaron and his sons have thus made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward: then shall, after that, the sons of Kehath come to carry it; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die; these are the things which the sons of Kehath are to carry at the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 “Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe, aziyangʼanira mafuta a nyale, ndi lubani wa nsembe zofukiza, nsembe yaufa yoperekedwa nthawi zonse ndi mafuta odzozera. Aziyangʼaniranso chihema ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo, kuphatikizapo zida ndi ziwiya zonse zopatulika.”
And under the supervision of Elazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the lighting, and the incense of spices, and the daily meat-offering, and the anointing-oil; the supervision of all the tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its vessels.
17 Yehova anawuzanso Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 “Onetsetsani kuti mabanja a fuko la Kohati asachotsedwe kwa Alevi.
Do ye not cause the tribe of the families of the Kehathites to be cut off from among the Levites;
19 Koma muziwachitira izi kuti asafe, akhalebe ndi moyo pamene ayandikira zinthu za ku malo wopatulika kwambiri: Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna azipita ku malo wopatulika ndi kumamupatsa munthu aliyense ntchito yake ndi zimene ayenera kunyamula.
But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them, every one, to his service and to his burden;
20 Koma Akohati asalowe kukaona zinthu zopatulika, ngakhale kanthawi pangʼono, chifukwa akatero adzafa.”
That they may not go in to see when the holy things are covered, and die.
