Numbers 4
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
2 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
« Kati na bana mibali ya Levi, tanga motango ya bakitani ya Keati kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
3 from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
Tanga motango ya mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, mpo ete baya kosala mosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,
Tala mosala ya bato ya Keati kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani: kobatela biloko oyo eleki bule.
5 So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
Tango bakolongola molako, Aron elongo na bana na ye ya mibali bakokota na kati, bakokitisa rido mpe bakozipa na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli.
6 and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
Na likolo na yango, bakotia bulangeti oyo esalema na poso ya nyama ya ebale, bakofinika liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakotia mabaya ya komemela Sanduku ya Litatoli.
7 And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
Na likolo ya mesa ya bagato ya bule, bakotanda lisusu liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakotia na likolo na yango biloko oyo: basani ya mbele, bambeki, bakopo, milangi mpo na makabo ya masanga mpe bagato oyo bakobanda kobonza lokola makabo liboso na Ngai tango nyonso.
8 and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.
Bongo na likolo ya biloko yango, bakotanda liputa ya langi ya motane makasi, mpe bakozipa biloko wana nyonso na liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale. Mpe bakotia balate oyo ekosunga mpo na kotombola mpe komema mesa.
9 Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
Bakokamata liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakofinika na yango etelemiselo ya minda elongo na minda na yango, biloko oyo balongolelaka makala na moto, basani mpo na putulu ya moto mpe basani ya mafuta, oyo basalelaka mosala na mesa.
10 and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
Bakosangisa na liboke moko, ezala elamba yango ya langi ya ble mpe biloko na yango nyonso, kati na liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale, mpe bakotia yango na likolo ya tsipoyi.
11 And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,
Bakotanda liputa ya langi ya ble na likolo ya etumbelo ya wolo mpe bakofinika bulangeti basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale; bongo bakotia balate na yango oyo ekosunga mpo na komema.
12 And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
Bakozwa biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango kati na Esika ya bule, bakotia yango kati na liputa ya langi ya ble, bakofinika yango bulangeti basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale; bongo bakotia yango na tsipoyi.
13 Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
Sima na bango kolongola putulu ya moto wuta na etumbelo, bakotanda liputa ya langi ya motane na likolo na yango;
14 and put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
bongo bakotia na likolo na yango biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango na etumbelo: basani oyo batumbaka na yango ansa, bakanya, bapawu, basani ya minene mpe biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango na etumbelo; bongo bakotanda na likolo ya biloko oyo nyonso, liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale, mpe bakotia balate ya etumbelo oyo ekosunga mpo na komema.
15 So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
Soki balingi kolongola molako mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, bana mibali ya Keati bakoya komema soki kaka Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali basilisi kofinika Esika ya bule mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; kasi basengeli te kosimba Esika ya bule, noki te bakokufa. Yango wana nde misala ya bana mibali ya Keati kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
16 But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
Tala misala ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron: kolandela mafuta ya etelemiselo ya minda, ansa ya kozikisa, makabo ya mokolo na mokolo mpe mafuta ya epakolami; kokengela Mongombo mpe biloko na yango nyonso, ezala Esika ya bule to biloko na yango nyonso. »
17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
18 Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.
« Bolongola te kati na Balevi lisanga ya mabota ya bato ya Keati.
19 This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;
Tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala mpo na bango mpo ete bakufa te tango bakopusana pene ya biloko oyo eleki bule: yo, Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali, bokokota mpe bopesa na moko na moko kati na bango mosala oyo asengeli kosala to eloko oyo asengeli komema.
20 but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
Basengeli te kokota bango moko mpo na kotala Esika ya bule, ata mpo na tango moke; soki te bakokufa. »
21 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
22 reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by their families;
« Tanga motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
23 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
Okotanga mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino na tuku mitano, ba-oyo bakoki kosala mosala songolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
24 This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
Tala misala mpe mokumba ya bituka ya bana mibali ya Gerishoni:
25 they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
bakobanda komema batapi ya Mongombo mpe Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani elongo na elamba na yango, elamba ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale mpo na kozipa na likolo, rido ya ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,
batapi ya lopango, rido ya ekuke ya lopango, oyo ezingeli Mongombo mpe etumbelo, basinga na yango mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso. Bakosala mosala oyo etali biloko oyo.
27 At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.
Mosala nyonso ya bato ya Gerishoni ekokambama na Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali: ezala mpo na komema biloko to mpo na kosala mosala; bokoyebisa bango mosala nyonso oyo bango basengeli kosala.
28 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
Wana nde misala ya bituka ya bato ya Gerishoni kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Itamari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, nde akokamba misala na bango.
29 As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
Okotanga motango ya bato ya Merari, etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko;
30 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting,
okotanga mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bakoki kosala mosala songolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
31 And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
Tala biteni ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, oyo bakobanda komema: mabaya ya Mongombo, balate na yango, makonzi mpe makolo na yango,
32 and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
makonzi oyo ezingeli lopango, makolo na yango, bapike na yango, basinga na yango, bisalelo na yango nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo esungaka mpo na kokangisa yango. Bokobenga moto moko na moko na kombo mpe bokopesa ye biloko oyo akobanda komema.
33 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, —in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
Wana nde misala ya bituka ya bato ya Merari. Itamari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, nde akokamba misala na bango nyonso kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. »
34 Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;
Moyize, Aron mpe bakambi ya lisanga ya Isalaele batangaki motango ya bato ya Keati, kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko.
35 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
Mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
36 and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
batangamaki kolanda etuka moko na moko: motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama sambo na tuku mitano.
37 These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
Wana nde motango ya bato nyonso oyo batangamaki kati na bituka ya bato ya Keati, ba-oyo bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki motango yango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
38 And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
39 from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting:
mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
40 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, by their ancestral house, —were found to be—two thousand, and six hundred, and thirty.
batangamaki kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama motoba na tuku misato.
41 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.
Wana nde motango ya bato ya Gerishoni oyo batangamaki mpe bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
42 And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Merari kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
43 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, —all that might enter the host to labour in the tent of meeting;
mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
44 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be—three thousand and two hundred.
batangamaki kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto misato na nkama mibale.
45 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, —whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation of Moses.
Wana nde motango ya bato oyo batangamaki kati na bituka ya bato ya Merari. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
46 All they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;
Moyize, Aron mpe bakambi ya Isalaele batangaki motango ya Balevi nyonso, kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
47 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,
mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
48 yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and five hundred, and eighty.
batangamaki; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mwambe na nkama mitano na tuku mwambe.
49 At the bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour and over his burden, —yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
Moyize apesaki na Molevi moko na moko mosala mpe mokumba, kolanda mitindo ya Yawe. Batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na Moyize.
