Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
“Kwan jo-Kohath ma gin bad jo-Lawi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod dhoutgi.
3 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter so as to stand and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi chakore piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro tiyo e Hemb Romo.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
“Tij jo-Kohath e Hemb Romo en rito gik maler moloyo.
5 Aaron and his sons shall enter, when the camp is going to move, and they shall take down the veil, which hangs before the entrance, and they shall wrap the ark of the testimony in it,
Ka udar kama ujote, to Harun kod yawuote nyaka donji ei hema mi gigol pasia kendo giumgo Sandug Muma.
6 and they shall cover it further with a veil of violet skins, and they shall extend over it a cloth made entirely of hyacinth, and they shall draw in the bars.
Bangʼe gium nangani gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, kendo giyar suka marambulu bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
7 Likewise, they shall wrap the table of the presence in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall place with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls for pouring out libations; the bread shall be always on it.
“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.
8 And they shall extend over it a cloth of scarlet, which they shall further cover with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Nyaka gipedh nanga ewi gigi duto kendo giumgi gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
9 They shall take also a cloth of hyacinth, with which they shall cover the lampstand with the lamps, and its tongs, and the candle snuffers, and all the vessels of oil, which are necessary for the preparation of the lamps.
“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.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Bangʼe to nyaka giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kaachiel gi gige duto kendo gikete e sirni mitingʼego.
11 And certainly they shall wrap the golden altar in a hyacinth garment, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
“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.
12 All the vessels with which they minister in the Sanctuary they shall wrap in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
“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.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
“Nyaka gigol buru oko e kendo mar misango mar mula bangʼe gipedh suka maralik e wiye.
14 and they shall place it with all the vessels which they use in its ministry, that is, receptacles for fire, small hooks as well as forks, larger hooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
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.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped the Sanctuary and its vessels at the dismantling of the camp, then the sons of Kohath shall enter, so as to carry what has been wrapped. And they shall not touch the vessels of the Sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Kohath concerning the tabernacle of the covenant.
“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.
16 Over them shall be Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to whom belongs the care of the oil to prepare the lamps, and the incense compound, and the sacrifice, which is offered continually, and the oil of unction, and whatever pertains to the service of the tabernacle, and all the vessels that are in the Sanctuary.”
“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.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
“Neuru ni dhout jo-Kohath ok ogol oko kuom jo-Lawi,
19 But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall enter, and they shall assign the work of each one, and they shall determine what each one ought to carry.
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.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
To dhout jo-Kohath kik donji nikech dipo ka gigoyo wangʼ-gi kuom gik maler mi githo.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
“Kwan joka Gershon kaluwore gi anywolagi kod dhoutgi.
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi en piero adek nyaka piero abich, ma gin joma obiro konyo tich mar Hemb Romo.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
“Ma e tich ma joka Gershon biro timo ka gitiyo kendo ka gitingʼo misigo:
25 to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the veil over everything, and the violet tent, which hangs at the entrance of the tabernacle of the covenant,
Gibiro tingʼo pasia moumgo kar lemo, Hemb Romo, gik moumego kod piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nam moumgo wiye, moumgo dhoranga Hemb Romo,
26 the curtains of the atrium, and the veil at the entrance, which is before tabernacle. Everything that pertains to the altar, the cords, and the vessels of the ministry
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.
27 the sons of Gershon shall carry, under the orders of Aaron and his sons. And so shall each one know to which burden he ought to surrender.
Tijegi duto, bedni en tingʼo kata tich moro amora nyaka tim ka Harun kod yawuote ema oteloe. Unupog-gi tich monego gitim.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gershonites, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
Ma e tich ma dhout Gershon onego tim e Hemb Romo. Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo ema notelne tijegi.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
“Kwan jo-Merari kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
30 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years, of all who enter to the office of their ministry and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
Kwan joma chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro konyo e tich mar Hemb Romo.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Ma e tich ma gibiro tiyo e Hemb Romo: ginitingʼ yiende moten-go kar lemo, fito mage, sirni kod mise,
32 also the columns surrounding the atrium, with their bases and tent pegs and cords. They shall accept by number all the vessels and articles, and so shall they carry them.
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.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry for the tabernacle of the covenant. And they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.”
Ma e tich ma dhood Merari onego ti e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo.”
34 Therefore, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of the assembly, took a census of the sons of Kohath, by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Musa, Harun kod jotend oganda mar jo-Israel nokwano jo-Kohath kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e tij Hemb Romo,
36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia abiriyo gi piero abich.
37 This is the number of the people of Kohath, who enter the tabernacle of the covenant. These Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Mano e kar romb jogo duto mane oa e dhout jo-Kohath mane otiyo e Hemb Romo. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ogolo kokalo kuom Musa.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Jo-Gershon nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
39 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter so as to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tich e Hemb Romo,
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia auchiel gi piero adek.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Mano e kar romb jogo mane oa e dhout anywola mar Gershon mane otiyo e Hemb Romo. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Jo-Merari nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
43 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter to fulfill the rituals of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero adek gabich mane obiro chiwo kony e tich mar Hemb Romo,
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi ne romo ji alufu adek gi mia ariyo.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Ma e kar kwan joka Merari duto. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo kokalo kuom Musa.
46 All who were counted from the Levites, and whom, by name, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, counted by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Omiyo Musa, Harun kod jotend Israel nokwano jo-Lawi duto kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e Hemb Romo
48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
ne romo ji alufu aboro mia abich gi piero aboro.
49 Moses took a census of them, according to the word of the Lord, each one according to their office and their burdens, just as the Lord had instructed him.
Kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye mane omiyo Musa, ngʼato ka ngʼato nomi tije. Kuom mano nokwan-gi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
