Numbers 4

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,

Mo lau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,

3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.

Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki he tau, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, [about] the most holy things:

Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu.

5 when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it:

Pea ʻoka hiki atu ʻae ʻapitanga, ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha, kenau vete hifo ʻae fakapulonga, ʻo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava:

6 and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.

Pea ʻe tuku ki ai ʻae kiliʻi pasia ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kofu lanumoana, pea ʻe ʻai ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.

7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups to pour out withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

Pea ko e palepale ʻoe ma ʻoe ʻao tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae kofu lanumoana, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu louluo, pea mo e ngaahi tāpuni ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki; pea ʻe tuku ki ai ʻae ma ʻoe ʻao:

8 and they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof.

Pea tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kofu kulaʻahoʻaho, pea ʻe toe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe ʻai ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.

9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:

Pea tenau ʻave ʻae kofu lanumoana, ʻo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae tuʻunga maama, mo hono ngaahi foʻi maama, mo hono ngaahi hikofi, mo e ngaahi tukuʻanga ʻoe maama helekosi, pea mo e ipu lolo kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ki ai:

10 and they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the frame.

Pea tenau tuku ia mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe tuku ia ki ha fata.

11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof:

Pea tenau faliki ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga koula ʻae kofu lanumoana, pea toe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe tuku ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.

12 and they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.

Pea tenau toʻo ai ʻae nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe ngāue, ʻaia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ʻi he faletapu, pea ʻe tuku ia ki ha kofu lanumoana, pea ʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae pulonga kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe tuku ia ki ha fata.

13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

Pea tenau ʻave ʻae efuefu mei he feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kofu paʻuhiʻuhi:

14 and they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the firepans, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and put in the staves thereof.

Pea tenau tuku ki ai hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ki ai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi huhu, pea mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga; pea tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea tuku ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.

15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.

Pea ka fakaʻosi ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻae fakapulonga ʻoe faletapu, pea mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē, pea ka hiki atu ʻae ʻapitanga; ʻe toki haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻo fata ia: kaeʻoua naʻa nau ala ki ha meʻa tapu, telia naʻa nau mate ai. Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e kavenga ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

16 And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the furniture thereof.

Pea ko e ngāue ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e lolo ki he maama, pea mo e meʻa namu kakala, pea mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻoe ʻaho, pea mo e lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea mo e pule ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai, ʻi he faletapu, pea mo hono ngaahi nāunau ʻo ia.

17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:

“ʻOua naʻa mo vaheʻi ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻa Kohate mei he kau Livai:

19 but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:

Ka ko eni ia te mou fai kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kenau moʻui, pea ʻikai mate, ʻoka nau ka haʻu ki he ngaahi meʻa toputapu: ʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻo tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻenau ngāue mo ʻenau kavenga:

20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.

Ka ʻe ʻikai tenau hū atu ke mamata ʻoka ʻuʻufi ʻae ngaahi meʻa toputapu, telia naʻa nau mate.”

21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

22 Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;

Ke ke lau foki ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau;

23 from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.

Ke ke lau ʻakinautolu mei he tolungofulu taʻu ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu; ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:

Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe kau Kesoni, ke tauhi, mo kavenga ʻaki:

25 they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting;

Pea tenau fua ʻae ngaahi puipui ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko hono fakapulonga, pea mo e ʻuʻufi kiliʻi pasia ʻoku ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai,

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatsoever shall be done with them, therein shall they serve.

Pea mo e ngaahi puipui ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo e puipui ke matapā ʻaki ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe lotoʻā, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale fehikitaki pea ʻoku takatakai ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi maea, pea mo e nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ʻenau tauhi, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ngaohi maʻanautolu: ʻe pehē ʻenau tauhi.

27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden.

‌ʻE ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, mo ʻenau kavenga kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau tauhi kotoa pē: pea te mou tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinautolu ʻenau kavenga kotoa pē.

28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea ʻe puleʻi ʻenau ngāue ʻe ʻItama ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.

29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ke ke lau ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai;

30 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.

Ke ke lau ʻakinautolu mei he tolungofulu taʻu, ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof;

Pea ko e fakahā eni ʻo ʻenau kavenga, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai; ko e ngaahi laupapa ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, pea mo hono ngaahi pou, pea mo hono ngaahi tuʻungaʻi pou,

32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden.

Pea mo e ngaahi ʻotu pou takatakai ʻoe lotoʻā, mo hono ngaahi tuʻungaʻi pou, mo hono ngaahi faʻo, mo hono ngaahi maea, fakataha mo honau nāunau kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau ngāue kotoa pē: pea te mo lau ʻi honau hingoa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe ngāue ʻo ʻenau kavenga.

33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae fānau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he pule ʻa ʻItama ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.

34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,

Pea naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau Kohate ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, pea mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,

35 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting:

Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue, ki he ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

36 and those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga ko e toko ua afe mo e toko fitungeau ma nimangofulu.

37 These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Ko kinautolu ni naʻe lau ʻoe fānau ʻoe kau Kohate, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, pea mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,

39 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting,

Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue, ki he ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai,

40 even those that were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.

‌ʻIo, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e toko ua afe mo e toko onongeau ma tolungofulu.

41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.

Ko kinautolu ni naʻe lau ʻi he fānau ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe ngofua ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.

42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻa Melali, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,

43 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting,

Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue, ki he ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai,

44 even those that were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and two hundred.

‌ʻIo, ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e toko tolu afe ma toko uangeau.

45 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Ko kinautolu ni naʻe lau ʻi he fānau ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ʻa ia, naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻa Mōsese.

46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,

Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone mo e houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, pea mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,

47 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,

Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fai fekau, pea mo e tauhi ʻoe kavenga ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai,

48 even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.

‌ʻIo, ko kinautolu naʻe lau ʻiate kinautolu, ko e toko valu afe, mo e toko nimangeau ma valungofulu.

49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ʻe he nima ʻo Mōsese, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo taki taha fakatatau ki heʻene ngāue, pea mo ʻene kavenga: naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene lau ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
