1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:

2 “Kwan jo-Kohath ma gin bad jo-Lawi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod dhoutgi.

Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:

from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.

4 “Tij jo-Kohath e Hemb Romo en rito gik maler moloyo.

This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,

5 Ka udar kama ujote, to Harun kod yawuote nyaka donji ei hema mi gigol pasia kendo giumgo Sandug Muma.

So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;

6 Bangʼe gium nangani gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, kendo giyar suka marambulu bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.

and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.

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.

And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;

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 over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.

Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;

10 Bangʼe to nyaka giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kaachiel gi gige duto kendo gikete e sirni mitingʼego.

and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a 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.

And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,

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.

And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.

13 “Nyaka gigol buru oko e kendo mar misango mar mula bangʼe gipedh suka maralik e wiye.

Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;

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 put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.

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.

So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in 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.”

But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.

17 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

18 “Neuru ni dhout jo-Kohath ok ogol oko kuom jo-Lawi,

Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of 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.

This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;

20 To dhout jo-Kohath kik donji nikech dipo ka gigoyo wangʼ-gi kuom gik maler mi githo.”

but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.

This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:

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 shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance of 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.

and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,

27 Tijegi duto, bedni en tingʼo kata tich moro amora nyaka tim ka Harun kod yawuote ema oteloe. Unupog-gi tich monego gitim.

At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.

And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:

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 pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
