4 Hete kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk kathoungpounge hno hoi kâkuen lah Kohath casaknaw e thaw lah ao.
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Roenae koehoi a kampuen awh tangkuem vah, Aron hoi a capa a tho vaiteh, hmuen kathoung lukkareiim yap e hah a la vaiteh lawkpanuesaknae thingkong hah a ramuk han.
Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
6 Hahoi phaivuen hoi a ramuk vaiteh, kamthim hni hoi bout a ramuk han. Hahoi a tâphai hah a hrawt han.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 Caboi dawk kamthim hni a phai vaiteh, tongben, pacen, awi nahane kawlungnaw hoi, vaiyei hruek vaiteh.
Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.

and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.

When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
16 Hahoi vaihma Aron capa Eleazar capa a tawk hane kawi teh, paang hane satui hoi hmuitui pout laipalah, tavai poenae, awi e satui hoi lukkareiim thung kaawm e hnonaw pueng, hmuen kathoung hoi hnopainaw ring hanelah ao telah a ti.

In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.

But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”

“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
