BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni. Akasema,
2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;
Fanya sensa ya uzao waume wa Kohathi kutoka kwa Walawi, kwa kufuata jamaa na na familia za koo.
3 from a son of thirty years and upward, even until a son of fifty years, everyone going in to the host, to do work in the Tent of Meeting.
Uwahesabu wanaume ambao wana umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini. Hawa wataungana na kundi linalotumika kutoa huduma kwenye hema ya kukutania.
4 This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting [for] the most holy things:
Uzao wa Kohathi watalinda vile vitu vitakatifu zaidi vilivyohifadhiwa kwa ajili yangu katika hema ya kukutania.
5 when Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the veil of the hanging, and have covered the Ark of the Testimony with it,
Wakati kambi inapojiandaa kusonga mbele, Haruni na wanawe lazima waende hemani, kulishusha pazia linalotenganisha mahali patakatifu na kulifunika sanduku la ushuhuda kwa pazia hilo. Watalifunika hilo sanduku kwa ngozi za pomboo.
6 then they have put a covering of tachash skin on it, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its poles.
Watatandika juu yake nguo za rangi ya samawi. Watachomeka hiyo miti ya kubebea.
7 And they spread a garment of blue over the table of the presence, and have put the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the drink-offering on it, and the bread of continuity is on it,
Watatandika nguo ya rangi ya samawi kwenye meza ya mikate ya wonyesho. Juu yake wataweka sahani, vijiko, mabakuli na vikombe vya kumiminia. Mikate itakuwepo daima mezani.
8 and they have spread a garment of scarlet over them, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles,
Wataifunika na nguo ya rangi nyekundu na ngozi za pomboo. na kuweka miti ya kubebea.
9 and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the lampstand of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels with which they minister to it;
Watachukua nguo ya rangi ya samawi na kukifunika kinara, pamoja na taa zake, na koleo zake, na sahani zake na vikombe vyake vya kuwekea mafuta ya taa.
10 and they have put it and all its vessels into a covering of tachash skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
Wataweka kinara na vifaa vyake vikiwa vimefunikwa na ngozi ya pomboo, na wataweka kwenye miti ya kukibebea.
11 And they spread a garment of blue over the golden altar, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles,
Watafunika na nguo ya samawi katika madhabau ya dhahabu. Wataifunika na ngozi za pomboo, na kuweka ile miti ya kubebea.
12 and have taken all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the holy place, and have put [them] into a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of tachash skin, and have put [them] on the bar,
Watavichukua vyombo vyote vya kazi takatifu na kuvizonga kwenye hiyo nguo ya rangi ya samawi. Watavifunika na ngozi za pomboo na kuviweka hivyo vyombo kwenye miti ya kubebea.
13 and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread a garment of purple over it,
Watayaondoa majivu kwenye madhabahu na kutandika nguo ya rangi ya zambarau juu yake.
14 and have put on it all its vessels with which they minister on it—the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar—and have spread a covering of tachash skin on it, and have placed its poles.
Watavieka kwenye miti ya kubebea vyombo vyote wanavyovitumia kwa kazi ya madhabahuni. Vyombo hivi ni vyetezo, majembe, mabakuli na vitu vingine vya madhabahuni. Wataifuniks madhabahu na ngozi za pomboo na kuweka ile miti ya kubebea.
15 And Aaron has finished—his sons also—covering the holy place, and all the vessels of the holy place, in the journeying of the camp, and afterward the sons of Kohath come in to carry [it], and they do not come to the holy thing, lest they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
Wakati Haruni na wanawe walipokuwa wamekamilisha kupafunika mahali patakatifu na vyombo vyote, na kambi itakapoanza kuendelea mbele, ndipo wana wa Kohathi watakapokuja kubeba vitu vya mahali patakatifu. Kama watagusa vyombo vitakatifu, lazima watakufa. Hii ni kazi ya wana wa uzao wa Kohathi, kubeba mapambo ya hema ya kukutania.
16 And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-incense, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary and in its vessels.”
Eliazari mwana wa Haruni kuhani atalinda na kusimamia mafuta ya taa, ubani mzuri, sadaka za mara kwa mara na mafuta ya upako. Atasimamia ulinzi wa hema lote na vyote vilivyomo, mahali patakatifu na vyombo vyake.”
17 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni. Akasema,
18 “You do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;
Usiruhusu kabila la Wakohathi kuondolewa kati ya Walawi.
19 but do this for them, and they have lived and do not die in their drawing near [to] the Holy of Holies: Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and to his burden,
Walinde waishi ili wasije wakafa, kwa kufanya hivi. Wanapokuwa wanasogelea
20 and they do not go in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, lest they have died.”
wasije wakaingia ndani ili kuona eneo takatifu hata kwa kitambo, vinginevyo watakufa. Bali Haruni na wanawe wanaweza kuingia, ndipo Haruni na Wanawe watakapowapangia Wakohathi kazi maalumu ya kufanya, kwa kila mmoj.”
21 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa tena, Akasema, “Fanya sensa kwa wana Gerishoni pia, kwa kufuata familia za mababu zao, koo zao.
22 “Also take a census of the sons of Gershon by the house of their fathers, by their families;
Uwahesabu wale wenye umri wa mika thelathini hadi miaka hamsini.
23 from a son of thirty years and upward, until a son of fifty years, you number them—everyone who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the Tent of Meeting.
Uwahesabu wote ili waje kuungana na wale wanaotumika katika hema ya kukutania.
24 This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve and for burden:
Hii ndiyo itakuwa kazi ya koo za Gerishoni, wanapotumikia na wanachobeba.
25 and they have carried the curtains of the Dwelling Place, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of the tachash [skin] which [is] on it above, and the veil at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Watabeba pazia la masikani, hema la kukutania, na vifunikio vyake, vifuniko vya ngozi ya pomboo ambvyo viko juu yake, na pazia kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
26 and the hangings of the court, and the veil at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the Dwelling Place, and by the altar all around, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them—and they have served.
Watabeba pazia la ua, pazia la kwenye mlango wa ua, ambao uko karibu na maskani karibu na madhabahu, kamba zake na vifaa vyote vya utumishi wake. Chochote kinachotakiwa kufanywa kutokana na vitu hivi, wao ndio watakaofanya.
