Numbers 4
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
2 “Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
“Kwan jo-Kohath ma gin bad jo-Lawi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod dhoutgi.
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.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi chakore piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro tiyo e Hemb Romo.
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.
“Tij jo-Kohath e Hemb Romo en rito gik maler moloyo.
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.
Ka udar kama ujote, to Harun kod yawuote nyaka donji ei hema mi gigol pasia kendo giumgo Sandug Muma.
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].
Bangʼe gium nangani gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, kendo giyar suka marambulu bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
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.
“Nyaka gipedh mesa manie Nyim Nyasaye gi kitamba marambulu, bangʼe giket sende e wiye, gi dise kod bakunde, gi njage mar chiwo misango miolo piny; bende gine ni makati man kanyo seche duto kik rum.
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].
Nyaka gipedh nanga ewi gigi duto kendo giumgi gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
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].
“Nyaka gikaw nanga marambulu kendo gium rachungi taya ma en kar keto gima chiwo ler, kaachiel gi techene, gi gima ingʼadogo otambi kod odheru, kod njage duto mikanoe mo.
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.
Bangʼe to nyaka giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kaachiel gi gige duto kendo gikete e sirni mitingʼego.
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.
“Nyaka gipedh nanga marambulu ewi kendo mar misango mar dhahabu bangʼe giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kendo giket sirni mitingʼego kuonde mowinjore.
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.
“Nyaka gikaw gik moko duto motiyogo e tij dolo e kama ler mar lemo, kendo gibogi gi suka marambulu, kod piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, bangʼe giketgi e sirni mitingʼego oliero liero.
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.
“Nyaka gigol buru oko e kendo mar misango mar mula bangʼe gipedh suka maralik e wiye.
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].
Bangʼ mano giniket gik michiemogo mag dolo e kar kendo mar misango, kaachiel gi gige chiedo, uma mar chwoyo ringʼo, opawo kod bakunde mikirogo remo. Nyaka gipedh raum mar piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe e wiye kendo giket sirni mitingʼego kuonde mowinjore.
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].
“Bangʼ ka Harun gi yawuote osetieko umo gik maler mitiyogo kod gik maler duto mamoko, kendo ka kambi oseikore mar wuok, to jo-Kohath koro nyaka bi mondo oti tij tingʼo. Kik gimul gik maler, nimar ka gitimo kamano to ginitho. Jo-Kohath nyaka tingʼ gigo mantiere ei Hemb Romo.
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.”
“Eliazar wuod Harun, jadolo, nochungʼne mo mar taya, ubani mangʼwe ngʼar, chiwo mar cham michiwo kinde ka kinde, kod mor pwodhruok. Nyaka obed jarit mar kar lemo duto kod gik moko duto manie iye, kaachiel gi gik maler molosego kod gik moko duto mokan kanyo.”
17 “Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
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.”
“Neuru ni dhout jo-Kohath ok ogol oko kuom jo-Lawi,
mondo omi gibed mangima kendo kik githo ka gibiro machiegni gi gik maler moloyo. Timnegiuru kama: Harun gi yawuote mondo odhi ei kama ler mar lemo kendo gimi ngʼato ka ngʼato tije kod gima onego otingʼ.
To dhout jo-Kohath kik donji nikech dipo ka gigoyo wangʼ-gi kuom gik maler mi githo.”
21 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
22 “Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
“Kwan joka Gershon kaluwore gi anywolagi kod dhoutgi.
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.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi en piero adek nyaka piero abich, ma gin joma obiro konyo tich mar Hemb Romo.
24 “This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
“Ma e tich ma joka Gershon biro timo ka gitiyo kendo ka gitingʼo misigo:
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.
Gibiro tingʼo pasia moumgo kar lemo, Hemb Romo, gik moumego kod piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nam moumgo wiye, moumgo dhoranga Hemb Romo,
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.
pasia mag laru molworo kar lemo kod kendo mar misango, pasia mar dhorangach, tonde kod gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo. Joka Gershon nyaka ti tije duto madwarore mondo oti kanyo.
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.
Tijegi duto, bedni en tingʼo kata tich moro amora nyaka tim ka Harun kod yawuote ema oteloe. Unupog-gi tich monego gitim.
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.
Ma e tich ma dhout Gershon onego tim e Hemb Romo. Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo ema notelne tijegi.
29 Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
“Kwan jo-Merari kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
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.
Kwan joma chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro konyo e tich mar Hemb Romo.
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.
Ma e tich ma gibiro tiyo e Hemb Romo: ginitingʼ yiende moten-go kar lemo, fito mage, sirni kod mise,
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.
kaachiel gi sirni molworo laru man-gi mise, sigingi mag hema, tonde, gi gik moko duto mitiyogo kanyo kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka mi gik monego otingʼ.
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.”
Ma e tich ma dhood Merari onego ti e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo.”
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.
Musa, Harun kod jotend oganda mar jo-Israel nokwano jo-Kohath kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
35 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e tij Hemb Romo,
36 The total was 2,750 men.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia abiriyo gi piero abich.
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.
Mano e kar romb jogo duto mane oa e dhout jo-Kohath mane otiyo e Hemb Romo. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ogolo kokalo kuom Musa.
38 They/We also counted the descendants of Gershon, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
Jo-Gershon nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
39 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tich e Hemb Romo,
40 The total was 2,630 men.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia auchiel gi piero adek.
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.
Mano e kar romb jogo mane oa e dhout anywola mar Gershon mane otiyo e Hemb Romo. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye.
42 They/We also counted the descendants of Merari, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
Jo-Merari nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
43 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero adek gabich mane obiro chiwo kony e tich mar Hemb Romo,
44 The total was 3,200 men.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi ne romo ji alufu adek gi mia ariyo.
45 They were the descendants of Merari who [were able to] work. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Ma e kar kwan joka Merari duto. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo kokalo kuom Musa.
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.
Omiyo Musa, Harun kod jotend Israel nokwano jo-Lawi duto kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
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.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e Hemb Romo
48 The total was 8,580 men.
ne romo ji alufu aboro mia abich gi piero aboro.
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].
Kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye mane omiyo Musa, ngʼato ka ngʼato nomi tije. Kuom mano nokwan-gi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
