< Numbers 4 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
2 “Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
“Lifai fi Gouha: de, amo ilia fi huluane amola sosogo fi huluane gilisili, afae afae idima.
3 Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. These will be men who will work at the Sacred Tent.
Dunu huluane da lalelegele, ode30baligi be ode50 hame baligi, amola ilia da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu amo ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: sea, amo dedema.
4 “The work of these descendants of Kohath will be [to take care of] the sacred items [that are used when the people worship] at the Sacred Tent.
Ilia hawa: hamosu da hadigidafa liligi ouligimusa: gala.”
5 When you Israelis move to another location, Aaron and his sons must enter the tent to take down the curtain that separates the Very Holy Place from the other part of the Sacred Tent. They must cover the sacred chest with that curtain.
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Fisisu fisili, logoga masunu eso da doaga: sea, Elane amola egefelali da Na Abula Diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, abula amo da Sema Gagili midadi diala amo fadegale, amoga Sema Gagili dedeboma: ne sia: ma.
6 Then they must cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Over that they must spread a blue cloth. Then they must insert into the rings on the chest the poles [for carrying it].
Ilia da bulamagau gadofo noga: i amoga dedebole, amola amo da: iya haisewe abula ligisilalu, gaguli ahoasu ifa salima: mu.
7 “Then they must put a blue cloth over the table on which the priests put the sacred bread. On top of the cloth they must put the bowls [for incense], the pans, the other dishes, the jars for [the wine that will be] offered as a sacrifice, and the sacred bread.
Ilia da Godema agi imunusa: fafai amo da: iya haisewe abula fadegale gale ligisimu. Amo da: iya ilia da ofodo, gabusiga: manoma ofodo, iasu faigelei amola ganagu amo ganodini ilia waini iaha, amo huluane ligisimu. Amo fafai da: iya, eso huluane mae fisili dilia da agi ligisi dialoma: ma.
8 Over all of this they must spread a scarlet/red cloth. Finally, they must put on top a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into the [rings at the corners of] the tables the poles [for carrying it].
Amo huluane da: iya, ilia da yoi abula fadegale gale ligisilalu, bulamagau gadofo noga: i amoga dedebole, gaguli ahoasu ifa amo ilia salasu ganodini salimu.
9 “Then with another blue cloth they must cover the lampstand, the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the trays, and the special jars of [olive] oil [to burn in the lamps].
Ilia da haisewe abula lale, gamali bugisu bai, gamali, nasu dida, beanoi ofodo amola olife susuligi ofodo huluane amo dedebomu.
10 They must cover the lampstand and all the other items with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. They must place all these things on a frame for carrying them.
Ilia da amo liligi huluane bulamagau gadofo abenai noga: i amo ganodini sosone la: la: gili aloi da: iya ligisimu.
11 “Then they must spread another blue cloth over the gold altar [which is used for burning] incense. Over this they must spread a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings of] that altar the poles for carrying it.
Amasea, ilia da gouliga hamoi oloda, amo da: iya haisewe abula amoga dedebomu amola bulamagau gadofoga dedebomu. Amola amo gaguli masa: ne, gaguli ahoasu ifa amo salimu.
12 “They must take all the other items that are inside the Sacred Tent and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats, and place all that on a frame for carrying it.
Ilia da Hadigi Malei Sesei hawa: hamosu liligi huluane lale, haisewe abula amoga la: la: gili, bulamagau gadofo abenai noga: i amoga dedebomu. Amasea, ilia da amo liligi gaguli ahoasu fafai amoga ligisimu.
13 “Then they must remove the ashes from the altar [on which they have burned sacrifices]. Then they must cover the altar with a purple cloth.
Ilia da sefe amola nasubu oloda da: iya diala amo gasa: le gale amola oloda da: iya ogaiya: i abula fadegale amoga dedebomu.
14 Then they must spread on top of the cloth all the items used at the altar—the pans [for carrying the hot coals], the meat forks, the shovels, the bowls [for containing the blood to sprinkle on the people], and all the other containers. Then they must spread over all those things a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings at the sides of] the altar the poles [for carrying it].
Ilia da amo da: iya, oloda hawa: hamosu liligi huluane ligisimu. Amo da lalu ofodo, ma: go, safala amola faigelei huluane. Amasea, ilia da amo huluane bulamagau gadofo amoga dedebole, gaguli ahoasu ifa salimu.
15 “Then Aaron and his sons have finished covering all these sacred things, the Israeli people will be ready to move [to a new location]. The descendants of Kohath must come and carry all the sacred things to [the next place] where you Israelis will set up your tents. But the descendants of Kohath must not touch any of these sacred items, because they will [immediately] die [if they touch them]. They are the ones who will carry these things, [but they must not touch them].
Fisisu fisili masunu eso da doaga: sea, Elane amola egefelali da hadigi liligi huluane dedeboi dagoiba: le fawane, Gouha: de fi dunu da amo liligi gaguli masunusa: misunu da defea. Be Gouha: de fi dunu da amo hadigi liligi digili ba: mu da sema bagade. Agoane hamosea, ilia da bogomu. Isala: ili dunu da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu eno sogega gaguli ahoasea, Gouha: de fi dunu ilia hawa: hamosu da agoaiwane gala.
16 “Aaron’s son Eleazar will have the work of taking care of the [olive] oil for the lamps, the nice-smelling incense, the grain which will be burned on the altar each day, and the [olive] oil for anointing [the priests]. Eleazar is the one who will supervise the work that is done at the Sacred Tent and the men who take care of everything that is in it.”
Elia: isa (Elane, gobele salasu dunu amo ea mano) da Abula Diasu huluane, gamali ea susuligi, gabusiga: manoma, gala: ine iasu, ilegesu susuligi amola liligi huluane Abula Diasu ganodini Hina Godema ilegei amo huluane ouligimu.
17 “Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Hina Gode da Mousese amola Elane elama amane sia: i,
18 “When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent [to take them to another location], Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent [at any other time] and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.”
“Gouha: de fi dunu da bogosa: besa: le, ilia da hadigidafa hamoi liligi amo gadenene mae misa: ne sia: ma. Be amo hou ilima mae doaga: ma: ne, Elane amola egefelali da Abula Diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, dunu afae afae ea hawa: hamosu ilegele sia: mu.
Be Gouha: de fi dunu da Abula diasu golili sa: ili, gobele salasu dunu ilia da amo hadigidafa liligi gaguli masa: ne momagelalebe ba: sea, ilia da bogomu.
21 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
22 “Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
“Lifai fi Gesione amo ilia fi amola sosogo fi gilisili idima.
23 Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
Amola dunu huluane da lalelegele, ode 30baligi be ode 50hame baligi, amola ilia da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: sea, amo dedema.
24 “This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
Ilia hawa: hamosu da hagudu dedei liligi amo gaguli masa: ne, sia: ma.
25 They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Abula Diasu amola ea ganodini dedebosu liligi; ea gadili dedebosu liligi; bulamagau gadofo noga: i gadodili diala amola Abula Diasu logo holei ga: su abula,
26 They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes [that fasten the curtains]. They must also do the packing and loading of these things.
gagoi amo da Abula Diasu amola oloda sisiga: i amo ea abula amola efe, amola gagoi logo holei ga: su abula amola amo liligi huluane amola disisu liligi huluane. Ilia amo hawa: huluane hamoma: ne ilegema.
27 Aaron and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry.
Mousese amola Elane da Gesione fi ilima amo hou ilia noga: le ouligisu hamoma: ne ilegei.
28 Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
Gesione ilia hawa: hamosu Abula Diasu ganodini da agoaiwane galu. Idama (Gobele salasu dunu Elane egefe) da ilia hawa: hamosu ouligimu.”
29 Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Lifai fi Milalai amo ilia fi amola sosogo fi gilisili idima.
30 Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
Amola dunu huluane da lalelegele, ode30 baligi be ode50hame baligisa, amola ilia da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: sea, amo dedema.
31 Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts [that hold up the curtains], and the bases.
Ilia hawa: hamosu da hagudu dedei liligi gaguli masa: ne, ilegema. Abula Diasu gagumusa: ifa, golasu ifa, golasu ifa ilia bai, amola Abula Diasu ea bai.
32 They must also carry the posts for [the curtains that form the walls of] the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes [to fasten the curtains]. Tell each man what things he must carry.
Abula Diasu ea sisiga: su gagoi ifa, ifa bai, duni bugisu huluane, efe amola liligi huluane amoga ilia da Abula Diasu amola gagoi gagusu. Milalai fi dunu afae afae hi liligi gaguli masa: ne ilegema.”
33 Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
Milalai fi dunu ilia Abula Diasu ouligisu hou da agoaiwane gala. Idama (gobele salasu dunu, Elane egefe) da ilia hawa: hamosu ouligima: mu.”
34 So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted the descendants of Kohath, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
Hina Gode da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Mousese, Elane amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da Lifai fi udiana (Gouha: de, Gesione amola Milalai) amo ilia dunu idi. Ilia da fi huluane amola sosogo fi huluane gilisili idi. Dunu huluane da lalelegele, ode 30baligi be ode 50hame baligi, amo da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: loba, ilia da idili dedei. Idi da agoane ba: i. Fi Idi Gouha: de 2,750 Gesione 2,630 Milalai 3,200 Idi huluane 8,580
35 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
36 The total was 2,750 men.
37 They were the descendants of Kohath who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
38 They/We also counted the descendants of Gershon, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
39 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
40 The total was 2,630 men.
41 They were the descendants of Gershon who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded.
42 They/We also counted the descendants of Merari, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
43 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
44 The total was 3,200 men.
45 They were the descendants of Merari who [were able to] work. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
46 So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted all the descendants of Levi, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
47 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old. They were ones who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent and who carried the tent and everything that was connected with it.
48 The total was 8,580 men.
49 They/We completed the counting [of all the descendants of Levi], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me. And they/we told each man what work he was to do and what things he must carry [when they moved to a new location].
Hina Gode da Mousesema hamoma: ne sia: i amo defele ilia dunu huluanedafa afae afae idili dedei. Amola Hina Gode da Mousesema hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ilia da dunu huluanedafa afae afae, amoma hi hawa: hamosu amola liligi gaguli masa: ne olelei dagoi.
