Numbers 4
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 “Register the descendants of Kohath from the tribe of Levi, according to their family and father's line.
“Werengani Akohati omwe ndi gawo limodzi la Alevi monga mwa mafuko awo ndi mabanja awo.
3 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
Werengani amuna onse amene ali ndi zaka makumi atatu mpaka zaka makumi asanu amene amabwera kudzagwira ntchito mu tenti ya msonkhano.
4 This work that they are to do in the Tent of Meetings involves the things that are most holy.
“Ntchito ya Akohati mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi iyi: kusamalira zinthu zopatulika kwambiri.
5 Whenever you move camp, Aaron and his sons will go in, take down the veil, and place it over the Ark of the Testimony.
Pamene anthu akusamuka pa msasa, Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna azilowa mu tenti ndi kuchotsa chinsalu chotchingira ndi kuphimba nacho bokosi la umboni.
6 On top of this they are to put a fine leather covering, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and then insert its carrying poles.
Ndipo azikuta bokosilo ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyala pamwamba pake nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kuyika mitengo yonyamulira mʼmalo mwake.
7 Have them spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence as well, and put the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and jugs for the drink offering. The current bread offering is to stay on it.
“Pa tebulo pamene pamakhala buledi wa ansembe aziyalapo nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, ndipo aziyikapo mbale, mabeseni, zipande ndi mitsuko yoperekera nsembe yachakumwa. Aziyikaponso buledi wokhala pamenepo nthawi zonse.
8 Over everything they are to spread a crimson cloth, next a fine leather covering, and then insert its carrying poles.
Tsono pamwamba pa izi aziyalapo nsalu yofiira, ndi kuzikuta mʼzikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyika mitengo yonyamulira mʼmalo mwake.
9 Using a blue cloth, they are to cover the lampstand of light, together with its lamps, wick tongs, and trays, as well as the jars of olive oil used to fill them.
“Azitenga nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kukutira choyikapo nyale, pamodzi ndi nyale zake, zopanira zake, zotengera zake ndi mitsuko yonse yosungiramo mafuta.
10 Then have them wrap it together with all its utensils inside a fine leather covering and place it on the carrying frame.
Kenaka achikulunge pamodzi ndi zipangizo zake zonse mʼzikopa za akatumbu ndi kuchiyika pa chonyamulira chake.
11 They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with fine leather, and then insert its carrying poles.
“Pamwamba pa guwa la golide aziyalapo nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kukutira ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyika mʼmalo mwake mitengo yonyamulira.
12 They are to place all the utensils used for the service in the sanctuary in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and place them on the carrying frame.
“Azitenga zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito ku malo wopatulika, azizikulunga mʼnsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, azizikuta ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika pa zonyamulira zake.
13 Have them clean the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it,
“Azichotsa phulusa la pa guwa lansembe lamkuwa ndi kuyalapo nsalu yapepo pamwamba pake.
14 and put on it all the equipment used in the services on the altar: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. Spread over it a fine leather covering and then insert its carrying poles.
Kenaka aziyikapo zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito potumikira pa guwa, kuphatikizapo miphika yowotchera nyama, mafoloko otengera nyama, zowolera phulusa ndi mbale zowazira magazi pa guwa lansembe ndipo pamwamba pake aziyalapo zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika mʼzonyamulira zake.
15 Once Aaron and his sons have finished covering these holy things and all the equipment connected with them, when the camp is ready to move, the priests of the Kohath family are to come and carry them. But they are forbidden to touch anything holy, otherwise they'll die. These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting.
“Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna akamaliza kukutira ziwiya za ku malo wopatulika ndi zipangizo zopatulika zonse, ndipo akakonzeka kusamuka pamalopo, Akohati abwere kudzazinyamula koma asagwire zinthu zopatulikazo. Akatero adzafa. Izi ndizo zinthu zimene Akohati ayenera kunyamula mu tenti ya msonkhano.
16 Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, is to supervise obtaining olive oil for the lamps, the aromatic incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He is in charge of the whole Tabernacle and everything in it—all the holy things and equipment.”
“Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe, aziyangʼanira mafuta a nyale, ndi lubani wa nsembe zofukiza, nsembe yaufa yoperekedwa nthawi zonse ndi mafuta odzozera. Aziyangʼaniranso chihema ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo, kuphatikizapo zida ndi ziwiya zonse zopatulika.”
17 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Yehova anawuzanso Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
18 “Make sure the families of Kohath are not wiped out from the Levites.
“Onetsetsani kuti mabanja a fuko la Kohati asachotsedwe kwa Alevi.
19 This is what you have to do so that they'll live and won't die by getting too close to something holy. Aaron and his sons must go in and tell each of them what they have to do and what they have to carry.
Koma muziwachitira izi kuti asafe, akhalebe ndi moyo pamene ayandikira zinthu za ku malo wopatulika kwambiri: Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna azipita ku malo wopatulika ndi kumamupatsa munthu aliyense ntchito yake ndi zimene ayenera kunyamula.
20 But they must not to go in and look at the things that are most holy, even for just a moment, otherwise they'll die.”
Koma Akohati asalowe kukaona zinthu zopatulika, ngakhale kanthawi pangʼono, chifukwa akatero adzafa.”
21 The Lord told Moses,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
22 “Register the descendants of Gershon, according to their family and father's line
“Werenganso Ageresoni monga mwa mabanja ndi mafuko awo.

24 This is how the families of Gershon will serve in terms of working and carrying:
“Ntchito ya mafuko a Ageresoni pamene akugwira ntchito ndi kunyamula katundu ndi iyi:
25 Have them carry the Tabernacle curtains, the Tent of Meeting with its fine leather covering, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
Azinyamula makatani a ku chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, zokutira zake ndi zokutira kunja za zikopa za akatumbu, makatani a pa khomo la ku tenti ya msonkhano,

27 All that they do is to be under the supervision of Aaron and his sons—all their work and carrying assignments. You are to tell them all they are required to carry.
Ntchito yawo yonse, kaya kunyamula kapena kugwira ntchito zina, achite Ageresoni motsogozedwa ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna. Uwagawire ntchito zonse zimene akuyenera kugwira.
28 These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting, carried out under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

31 This is how they will serve in handling the Tent of Meeting: they are to carry the frames of the Tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and stands,
Ntchito yawo pamene azikatumikira mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi iyi: kunyamula matabwa a chihema, mitanda, mizati ndi matsinde,
32 the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their stands, tent pegs, and ropes, all their equipment and everything connected with their use. You are to tell them by name what they are responsible for carrying.
ndiponso mizati yozungulira bwalo ndi matsinde ake, zikhomo za chihema, zingwe ndi zipangizo zake zonse ndiponso zonse zokhudzana ndi ntchito yake. Uwuze munthu aliyense chomwe ayenera kuchita.
