Lakini wanaume toka uzao wa Lawi hawakuhesabiwa,
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Kwa sababu BWANA alimwambia Musa,
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel.
“usiwahesabu wale wa kabila la Lawi wala kuwajumuisha kwenye jumla ya watu wa Israeli.
50 But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all its vessels, and whatever pertains to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles. And they shall be for the ministry, and they shall encamp all around the tabernacle.
Badala yake, waagize Walawi kuliangalia hema la amri za agano, na kuangalia mapambo ya hema na vyote vilivyomo. Walawi watalazimika kulibeba hema na lazima wayabebe mapambo ya hema. Lazima waliangalie hema na kuyatengeneza mazingira yake. Wataiangalia masikani na kuzitengeneza kambi zinazolizunguka.
51 When you would depart, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle. When you are to make camp, they shall set it up. Any outsider who will approach it shall be killed.
Kila hema litakapotakiwa kuhamishiwa eneo jingine, Walawi ndio watakaolipeleka pale. Na kila hema litakapotakiwa kusimamishwa, Walawi ndio watakao lisimamisha. Na mgeni yeyote atakayelisogelea hema lazima auawe.
52 Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army.
Wakati watu wa Israeli watakaposimamisha hema zao, kila mwanaume lazima awe karibu na bango la jeshi lake.
53 Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony.”
Hata hivyo Walawi lazima waweke hema zao kuizunguka hiyo masikani ya amri za agano ili kwamba hasira yangu isije ikawaka juu ya wana wa Israeli. Walawi lazima wailinde hiyo masikani ya amri za agano.”
54 Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.
Wana wa Israeli walifanya yote haya. Walifanya yote ambayo BWANA aliagiza kupitia Musa.
