Kwan 4
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Kwan jo-Kohath ma gin bad jo-Lawi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod dhoutgi.
“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3 Kwan chwo duto mahikgi chakore piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro tiyo e Hemb Romo.
men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4 “Tij jo-Kohath e Hemb Romo en rito gik maler moloyo.
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Ka udar kama ujote, to Harun kod yawuote nyaka donji ei hema mi gigol pasia kendo giumgo Sandug Muma.
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 Bangʼe gium nangani gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, kendo giyar suka marambulu bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 “Nyaka gipedh mesa manie Nyim Nyasaye gi kitamba marambulu, bangʼe giket sende e wiye, gi dise kod bakunde, gi njage mar chiwo misango miolo piny; bende gine ni makati man kanyo seche duto kik rum.
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.
8 Nyaka gipedh nanga ewi gigi duto kendo giumgi gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 “Nyaka gikaw nanga marambulu kendo gium rachungi taya ma en kar keto gima chiwo ler, kaachiel gi techene, gi gima ingʼadogo otambi kod odheru, kod njage duto mikanoe mo.
They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
10 Bangʼe to nyaka giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kaachiel gi gige duto kendo gikete e sirni mitingʼego.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 “Nyaka gipedh nanga marambulu ewi kendo mar misango mar dhahabu bangʼe giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kendo giket sirni mitingʼego kuonde mowinjore.
Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 “Nyaka gikaw gik moko duto motiyogo e tij dolo e kama ler mar lemo, kendo gibogi gi suka marambulu, kod piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, bangʼe giketgi e sirni mitingʼego oliero liero.
They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
13 “Nyaka gigol buru oko e kendo mar misango mar mula bangʼe gipedh suka maralik e wiye.
Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14 Bangʼ mano giniket gik michiemogo mag dolo e kar kendo mar misango, kaachiel gi gige chiedo, uma mar chwoyo ringʼo, opawo kod bakunde mikirogo remo. Nyaka gipedh raum mar piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe e wiye kendo giket sirni mitingʼego kuonde mowinjore.
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.
15 “Bangʼ ka Harun gi yawuote osetieko umo gik maler mitiyogo kod gik maler duto mamoko, kendo ka kambi oseikore mar wuok, to jo-Kohath koro nyaka bi mondo oti tij tingʼo. Kik gimul gik maler, nimar ka gitimo kamano to ginitho. Jo-Kohath nyaka tingʼ gigo mantiere ei Hemb Romo.
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 “Eliazar wuod Harun, jadolo, nochungʼne mo mar taya, ubani mangʼwe ngʼar, chiwo mar cham michiwo kinde ka kinde, kod mor pwodhruok. Nyaka obed jarit mar kar lemo duto kod gik moko duto manie iye, kaachiel gi gik maler molosego kod gik moko duto mokan kanyo.”
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
17 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18 “Neuru ni dhout jo-Kohath ok ogol oko kuom jo-Lawi,
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19 mondo omi gibed mangima kendo kik githo ka gibiro machiegni gi gik maler moloyo. Timnegiuru kama: Harun gi yawuote mondo odhi ei kama ler mar lemo kendo gimi ngʼato ka ngʼato tije kod gima onego otingʼ.
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.
20 To dhout jo-Kohath kik donji nikech dipo ka gigoyo wangʼ-gi kuom gik maler mi githo.”
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD said to Moses,
22 “Kwan joka Gershon kaluwore gi anywolagi kod dhoutgi.
“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23 Kwan chwo duto mahikgi en piero adek nyaka piero abich, ma gin joma obiro konyo tich mar Hemb Romo.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24 “Ma e tich ma joka Gershon biro timo ka gitiyo kendo ka gitingʼo misigo:
This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
25 Gibiro tingʼo pasia moumgo kar lemo, Hemb Romo, gik moumego kod piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nam moumgo wiye, moumgo dhoranga Hemb Romo,
They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
26 pasia mag laru molworo kar lemo kod kendo mar misango, pasia mar dhorangach, tonde kod gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo. Joka Gershon nyaka ti tije duto madwarore mondo oti kanyo.
the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.
27 Tijegi duto, bedni en tingʼo kata tich moro amora nyaka tim ka Harun kod yawuote ema oteloe. Unupog-gi tich monego gitim.
All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.
28 Ma e tich ma dhout Gershon onego tim e Hemb Romo. Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo ema notelne tijegi.
This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Kwan jo-Merari kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
30 Kwan joma chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro konyo e tich mar Hemb Romo.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31 Ma e tich ma gibiro tiyo e Hemb Romo: ginitingʼ yiende moten-go kar lemo, fito mage, sirni kod mise,
This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,
32 kaachiel gi sirni molworo laru man-gi mise, sigingi mag hema, tonde, gi gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka mi gik monego otingʼ.
and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
33 Ma e tich ma dhood Merari onego ti e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo.”
This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
34 Musa, Harun kod jotend oganda mar jo-Israel nokwano jo-Kohath kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
35 Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e tij Hemb Romo,

At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
