< Numbers 4 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
2 Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households;
“Thĩinĩ wa Alawii-rĩ, tarai rũhonge rwa Akohathu kũringana na mbarĩ ciao na nyũmba ciao.
3 from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness.
Mũtare arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
4 And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy.
“Ũyũ nĩguo wĩra wa Akohathu thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo: wĩra wao nĩ kũmenyerera indo iria theru mũno.
5 And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony.
Rĩrĩa kambĩ ĩgũthaama-rĩ, Harũni na ariũ ake marĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa hema ĩyo makaruta gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa kũhakania na makahumbĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira nakĩo.
6 And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through [the rings].
Ningĩ marĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu mũtheri igũrũ rĩacio, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
7 And they shall put on the table set forth for show-bread a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it.
“Nao maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa metha ya mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova, na mamĩigĩrĩre thaani, na thaani, nene na mbakũri, na ndigithũ cia magongona ma kũnyuuo; na mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo hau hĩndĩ ciothe ĩikare o hau igũrũ.
8 And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it.
Macooke maigĩrĩre gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa gakarakũ igũrũ rĩa indo icio na ningĩ mahumbĩre gĩtambaya kĩu na njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
9 And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister.
“Ningĩ moe gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, mahumbĩre mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa marĩa mamũrĩkaga, hamwe na matawa maguo, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na thaani cia mũrarĩ wa ndaambĩ, na ndigithũ cia gwĩkĩrwo maguta ma matawa macio.
10 And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers.
Ningĩ makũnje mũtĩ ũcio na indo ciaguo ciothe ciohetwo na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na macigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
11 And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves.
“Nĩ maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona gĩa thahabu, na makĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
12 And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves.
“Ningĩ moe indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, macikũnje na gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, macihumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maciigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
13 And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple.
“Ningĩ nĩ marute mũhu kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ gĩa gĩcango, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa ndathi igũrũ rĩakĩo.
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars.
Ningĩ maigĩrĩre indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo gũtungata kĩgongona-inĩ, nacio nĩ hamwe na ngĩo cia mwaki, na njibe, na icakũri, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria. Igũrũ rĩakĩo nĩ maare gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
15 And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.
“Thuutha wa Harũni na ariũ ake kũrĩĩkia kũhumbĩra indo ciothe theru o na indo ciothe nyamũre, na rĩrĩa andũ a kambĩ mehaarĩria gũthaama-rĩ, ariũ a Akohathu nao moke makuue indo icio. No matikanahutie indo icio nyamũre matigakue. Akohathu acio nĩo magaakuua indo iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
16 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.
“Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra maguta ma gwakia tawa, na ũbumba ũrĩa ũnungaga wega, na mũtu ũrĩa ũrutagwo hĩndĩ ciothe, o na maguta marĩa maitanagĩrĩrio. Nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre ĩrĩ yothe na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo, nĩcio indo iria nyamũre ciĩkĩrĩtwo kuo, na indo cia wĩra.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
18 You shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites.
“Menyererai mbarĩ cia mũhĩrĩga wa Akohathu matikaneherio kuuma kũrĩ Alawii.
19 This do you to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing.
Nĩguo matũũre muoyo na matikae gũkua rĩrĩa mangĩkuhĩrĩria indo iria theru mũno-rĩ, mekagĩrei ũũ: Harũni na ariũ ake nĩo marĩtoonyaga handũ harĩa hatheru, na makagaĩra o mũndũ wĩra wake na kĩrĩa egũkuua.
20 And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die.
No ariũ a Kohathu matikanatoonye thĩinĩ kuona indo iria theru o na hanini, nĩguo matigaakue.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
22 Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families.
“Tara Agerishoni o nao kũringana na nyũmba ciao na mbarĩ ciao.
23 Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until the age of fifty, every one that goes in to minister, to do his business in the tabernacle of witness.
Ũtare arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
24 This [is] the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear.
“Ũyũ nĩguo ũtungata wa mbarĩ cia Agerishoni rĩrĩa mekũruta wĩra na gũkuua mĩrigo:
25 And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness.

28 This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

29 The sons of Merari according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, take you the number of them.
“Tara Amerari kũringana na mbarĩ na nyũmba ciao.
30 Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until fifty years old, every one that goes in to perform the services of the tabernacle of witness.
Tara arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
31 And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and [there shall be] their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle.
