Numbers 4

1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,

2 Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

“Mubale batabani ba Kokasi abava mu kika ky’Abaleevi, ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.

3 All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

Mubabale nga muva ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano, abayinza okuyingira mu buweereza obw’okukola emirimu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

4 And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.

“Gino gye mirimu eginaakolwanga batabani ba Kokasi mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: nga gya kulabirira ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo.

5 When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;

Olusiisira bwe lunaabanga lusitula, Alooni ne batabani be banaayingirangamu, ne batimbulula eggigi ery’olutimbe ne balibikka ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano.

6 And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.

Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, kuno ne babikkako olugoye olwa bbululu omuka, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.

7 And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;

“Ku mmeeza ey’Emigaati egy’Okulaga banaayaliirangako ekitambala ekya bbululu, ne bassaako amasowaane, n’ebijiiko ebinene, n’amabakuli, n’ejaagi omunaabeeranga ebiweebwayo ebyokunywa; n’emigaati egy’okulaga nagyo ginaabeeranga okwo.

8 And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.

Banaayaliirangako ekitambaala ekimyufu ennyo, ne bakibikkako amaliba ga lukwata; ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.

9 And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:

“Banaddiranga ekitambaala ekya bbululu ne bakibikka ku kikondo ky’ettaala kwe zinaayakiranga, n’ettabaaza zaako, n’ebikomola entambi n’ensuniya ez’ebisirinza, n’ejaagi ez’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni aganaakozesebwanga mu ttaala ezo.

10 All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame.

Ekikondo n’ebigenderako byonna binaasibibwanga mu maliba ga lukwata ne biteekebwa ku musituliro.

11 On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.

“Banaayaliiranga olugoye olwa bbululu ku kyoto ekya zaabu, okwo ne babikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.

12 All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.

“Banaddiranga ebintu byonna ebinaakozesebwanga ku mirimu gy’obuweereza mu watukuvu ne babiteeka mu lugoye olwa bbululu ne babibikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne babiteeka ku misituliro gyabyo.

13 And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;

Ekyoto banaakiggyangamu evvu ne bakibikkako olugoye olwa ffulungu;

14 Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.

ne balyoka bakissaako ebintu byonna ebikozesebwa mu mirimu gy’oku kyoto, nga mwe muli ensiniya ez’omuliro, n’ewuuma, n’ebijiiko n’ebibya. Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.

15 And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

“Alooni ne batabani be bwe banaamalanga okusibako awatukuvu ne byonna ebibeeramu, nga n’ekiseera ky’olusiisira okusitula mu lugendo kituuse; awo batabani ba Kokasi banajjanga ne babisitula, naye ekintu kyonna ekitukuvu tebakikwatangako, baleme okufa. Ebyo bye bintu eby’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu batabani ba Kokasi bye baneetikkanga.

16 And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

“Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, y’anaabeeranga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’amafuta g’ettaala ag’omuzeeyituuni, n’obubaane obwakaloosa, n’ekiweebwayo eky’okulaga eky’emmere ey’empeke, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ag’okwawula. Era y’anaalabiriranga Eweema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, n’awatukuvu ne byonna ebikozesezebwamu.”

17 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,

18 Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

“Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi.

19 But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;

Ekyo munaakibakoleranga, bwe batyo bwe banaasembereranga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo balemenga okufa, naye basigalenga nga balamu. Alooni ne batabani be banaayingiranga mu watukuvu ne bagabira buli Mukokasi omulimu gwe n’ebyo by’aneetikkanga.

20 But they themselves are not to go in to see the holy place, even for a minute, for fear of death.

Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”

21 And the Lord said to Moses,

Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,

22 Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

“Bala ne batabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.

23 All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

Babale ng’otandikira ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano, abayinza okuyingira mu buweereza obw’okukola emirimu egya Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

24 This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.

“Gino gye mirimu eginaakolebwanga ab’omu mpya z’Abagerusoni mu kuweereza era ne mu kwetikka emigugu:

25 They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;

Baneetikkanga entimbe ez’omu Weema ya Mukama, y’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ebigibikkako, n’amaliba aga lukwata agabikkibwa kungulu kwayo, n’entimbe ez’omu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,

26 And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.

n’entimbe ez’omu luggya olwebungulula Weema ya Mukama n’ekyoto, n’olutimbe lw’omulyango gw’oluggya, n’emiguwa, ne byonna ebinaakozesebwanga mu kuweereza okwo. Abagerusoni banaakolanga byonna ebineetaagibwanga okukola ku bintu ebyo.

27 From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

Mu kuweereza kwonna okw’Abagerusoni, oba mu kwetikka oba mu kukola emirimu egy’engeri endala, Alooni ne batabani be, be banaabalagiranga. Abagerusoni ojjanga kubakwasa obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna ku ebyo bye baneetikkanga.

28 This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

Obwo bwe buweereza bwa batabani ba Gerusoni nga bukwata ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Bye banaakolanga binaalabirirwanga Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.

29 The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

“Batabani ba Merali nabo babale ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.

30 Every one from thirty to fifty years old who is able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

Babale ng’otandikira ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano, abayinza okuyingira mu buweereza obw’okukola emirimu egya Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

31 And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;

Gino gye ginaabanga emirimu gyabwe egikwata ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: okusitula omudaala gwa Weema ya Mukama, n’embaawo zaayo, n’empagi n’ebibya mwe zituula,

32 And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.

awamu n’empagi ezeebungulula oluggya n’ebibya byazo mwe zituula, n’enkondo z’eweema, n’emiguwa, ne byonna ebyetaagibwa okukozesebwa ku mirimu egyo. Buli musajja onoomutegeezanga amannya g’ebintu byennyini by’ajjanga okwetikka.

33 This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

Egyo gye ginaabanga emirimu gy’omu mpya z’abaana ba Merali nga bali mu buweereza bwabwe obwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakulemberwa Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.”

34 So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

Awo Musa ne Alooni n’abakulembeze b’abantu ne babala batabani b’Abakokasi ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.

35 Numbering all those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting;

Ne bababala nga batandikira ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku myaka amakumi ataano, abajja okuweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,

36 And the number of all these was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.

nga bababala ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali; baawera enkumi bbiri mu lusanvu mu amakumi ataano.

37 This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogw’abo abaali mu mpya z’Abakokasi abaaweerezanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.

38 And those of the sons of Gershon who were numbered by families,

Batabani ba Gerusoni nabo baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.

39 All those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting,

Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abaaweerezanga mu mirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,

40 Who were numbered by families in the order of their fathers' houses, were two thousand, six hundred and thirty.

baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali, ne bawera enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga mu amakumi asatu.

41 This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogwa batabani ba Gerusoni abaali mu mpya za Abagerusoni abaaweerezanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.

42 And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

Batabani ba Merali baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.

43 All those from thirty to fifty years old who did the work in the Tent of meeting,

Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abajja okuweereza mu mirimu gy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,

44 Who were numbered by families, were three thousand, two hundred.

abaabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali baali bawera enkumi ssatu mu ebikumi bibiri.

45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogwabalibwa ogw’omu mpya za batabani ba Merali. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.

46 And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,

Bwe batyo Musa ne Alooni n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ne babala Abaleevi bonna mu mpya zaabwe ne mu nnyumba z’abakadde baabwe.

47 Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,

Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abajja okuweereza mu mirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,

48 Came to eight thousand, five hundred and eighty.

abaabalibwa baawera kanaana mu ebikumi bitaano mu kinaana.

49 At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.

Buli musajja yaweebwa omulimu ogw’okukola n’ategeezebwa ky’aneetikka, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa. Bwe batyo bonna ne babalibwa nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
