Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
“Lewwota keessaa gosa Qohaatotaa balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
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.
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
“Hojiin Qohaatonni wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼaniin wal qabatee dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti hojjetan kanaa dha.
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,
Yommuu qubanni deemuuf kaʼutti Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa ol galanii golgaa daʼeessu sana gad haa buusan; golgaa sanaanis taabota kakuu seeraatti haa haguugan.
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.
Waan kanattis gogaa duugame uffisanii huccuu bifti isaa guutumaan guutuutti cuquliisa taʼe irraan haa afan. Danqaraawwanis iddoo iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
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.
“Isaanis huccuu bifa cuquliisaa tokko minjaala Buddeena Ilaalchaatti uffisanii gabatee, caabii fi waciitii akkasumas okkotee ittiin dhibaayyuu dhiʼeessan isa irra haa kaaʼan; buddeenni yeroo hunda achii hin dhabamne sunis isa irra haa kaaʼamu.
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.
Huccuu bildiimaa isaan irra haa diriirsan; gogaa duugame itti haa uwwisan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
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.
“Huccuu bifti isaa cuquliisaa fuudhanii baattuu ibsaa kan ibsuuf tolchame ibsaa isaa wajjin, waan ittiin foʼaa ibsaa kutanii fi baattuu daaraa, meeshaawwan zayitii kanneen hojii kanaaf oolan hundas ittiin haa haguugan.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Ergasiis waan kanaa fi miʼa isaa hunda gogaa duugameen maranii wasaasaa ittiin waa baatan irra haa kaaʼan.
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.
“Huccuu biftii isaa cuquliisa taʼes iddoo aarsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetametti uffisanii gogaa duugame itti haa haguugan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
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.
“Meeshaawwan ittiin iddoo qulqulluu keessa tajaajilan hundas fuudhanii huccuu bifa cuquliisaatiin maranii gogaa duugameen haguuganii wasaasaa ittiin waa baatan irra haa kaaʼan.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
“Isaanis iddoo aarsaa irraa daaraa haranii huccuu diimaa dhiilgee itti haa uffisan.
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.
Ergasiis miʼa iddoo aarsaa ittiin tajaajilan hunda, baattuu ibiddaa, qabduuwwan foonii, meeshaa ittiin daaraa hammaaranii fi waciitii isa irra haa kaaʼan. Gogaa duugamee isa irraan haa afan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
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.
“Erga Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa meeshaawwan qulqulluu sanaa fi miʼa qulqulluu hunda haguuganii fixanii booddee yeroo qubanni sun godaanuuf kaʼutti Qohaatonni miʼa kana baachuudhaaf haa dhufan. Isaan garuu miʼa qulqulluu sana hin tuqin; yoo tuqan ni duʼuutii. Qohaatonni waan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa jiru hunda haa baatan.
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.”
“Eleʼaazaar ilmi Aroon lubichaa itti gaafatamaa zayitii ibsaa, ixaana urgaaʼaa, kennaa midhaanii kan yeroo baayʼee dhiʼeeffamuu fi zayitii ittiin dibanii haa taʼu. Inni dunkaana qulqulluu hundaa fi waan isa keessa jiru hundatti, miʼaa fi meeshaawwan isaa qulqulluuttis itti gaafatamaa haa taʼu.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
“Balbalawwan gosa Qohaatii Lewwota keessaa hin balleessinaa.
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.
Akka isaan yommuu wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼanitti dhiʼaatanitti, akka lubbuun jiraatan malee hin duuneef waan kana isaaniif godhaa: Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa iddoo qulqulluu seenanii waan tokkoon tokkoon namaa hojjetuu fi baatu haa qoqqoodan.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
Qohaatonni garuu akka hin duuneef yeroo xinnaaf illee wantoota qulqulluu ilaaluudhaaf ol seenuu hin qaban.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Waaqayyo Museen akkana jedhe;
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
“Geershoonotas maatii maatii isaanii fi balbala balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuu dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
“Tajaajilli balbalawwan Geershoonotaa hojii hojjechuu fi baʼaa baachuudhaan tajaajilan kanaa dha:
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,
Isaan golgaa dunkaana qulqulluu, dunkaana wal gaʼii, uffata isaa fi irra buusaa isaa kan gogaa duugame irraa hojjetame, golgaa balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii,
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
golgaawwan dallaa dunkaana qulqulluu fi iddoo aarsaatti naannaʼee jiru sanaa, golgaa balbala isaa, funyoo fi miʼa tajaajila kanaaf fayyadu hunda baatu. Geershoononni waan wantoota kanaan hojjetamuu qabu hunda haa hojjetan.
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.
Tajaajilli Geershoonotaa hundi baʼaa baachuus taʼu hojiin biraa ajaja Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa kennaniin haa adeemsifamu. Waan isaan baachuu qaban hundas akkuma itti gaafatama isaaniitti qoqoodaafii.
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.
Tajaajilli balbalawwan Geershoonotaa dunkaana wal gaʼiitti kennan kanaa dha. Hojiin isaaniis Iitaamaar ilma Aroon lubichaatiin haa qajeelfamu.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
“Meraarota balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
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.
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Wanni isaan yeroo hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjetanitti godhan kanaa dha: kunis tuggeewwan dunkaana qulqulluu, dagaleewwan isaa, utubootaa fi miillawwan isaanii,
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.
utuboota oobdiitti naannaʼanii jiran miillawwan isaanii wajjin, qofoowwan dunkaanaa, funyoowwan, miʼa isaanii hundaa fi wantoota hojii kanaaf fayyadan hunda baachuu dha. Isinis waan tokkoon tokkoon namaa baatu addaan baasaatii ramadaafii.
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.”
Tajaajilli balbalawwan Meraarotaa qajeelfama Iitaamaar ilma Aroon lubichaa jala dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti kennan kanaa dha.”
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,
Museen, Aroonii fi hooggantoonni waldaas Qohaatota balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼan.
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessaa sana keessa hojjechuuf dhufan hundi
36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
balbala balbalaan lakkaaʼamanii 2,750 turan.
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.
Kun lakkoobsa balbalawwan Qohaatota warra dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjechaa turanii ti. Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kennameetiin isaan lakkaaʼan.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Geershoononni balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼaman.
39 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter so as to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjechuuf dhufan hundi
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼamanii 2,630 turan.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Balbalawwan Geershoonotaa, warri hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjetan kanneen Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyootti lakkaaʼan hundi kanneenii dha.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Meraaronnis balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼaman.
43 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter to fulfill the rituals of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa tajaajiluu dhufan hundi
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
balbala balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼamanii 3,200 turan.
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.
Warri balbalawwan Meraarotaa keessaa lakkaaʼaman kanneen Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sanaatti lakkaaʼan kanneenii dha.
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,
Museen, Aroonii fi hooggantoonni Israaʼel Lewwota hunda balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼan.
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii tajaajilaa hojjechuu fi dunkaana wal gaʼii baachuu dhufanii
48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
lakkaaʼaman hundi 8,580 turan.
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.
Isaanis akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kennameetiin tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waan hojjechuu qabanitti ramadaman; wanni isaan baachuu qabanis isaanitti himame. Akkasiin isaan akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti lakkaaʼaman.
