Numbers 4
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
2 “Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
“Gụọ ọnụ chọpụta, ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Kohat dị nʼebo Livayị dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
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.
Gụọ ndị ikom niile gbarala iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị tozuru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute.
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.
“Nke a bụ ọrụ dịrị ndị Kohat nʼụlọ nzute, ilekọta ihe ndị ahụ kachasị ịdị nsọ.
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.
Mgbe ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ ga-ebili ije ha, Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-eburu ụzọ banye nʼụlọ nzute ahụ wetuo akwa mgbochi ahụ, jiri ya kpuchie igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
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].
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-agbakwasị akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri nʼelu akwa mgbochi ahụ, sakwasịkwa akwa na-acha anụnụ anụnụ nʼelu ya, tinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi niile nʼoghere ha kwesiri ịdị.
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.
“Nʼelu tebul ahụ na-adị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ha ga-agbasa akwa anụnụ anụnụ tụkwasịkwa efere niile, ngaji niile, ọkwa niile na iko aja ihe ọṅụṅụ. Achịcha ahụ na-adịgide nʼelu ya ga-adịkwa ebe ọ dị.
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].
Ha ga-agbasakwa akwa uhie nʼelu ya, jiri akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri gbokwasịkwa nʼelu akwa uhie ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-etinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu tebul nʼime oghere o kwesiri ịdị.
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].
“Ọzọ, ha ga-eji akwa anụnụ anụnụ sachie ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nke na-enye ìhè, ya na oriọna ya niile, mkpa ya niile na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ ya niile na ite mmanụ ya niile, e ji awụnye ya mmanụ.
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.
Emesịa, ha ga-eji akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ya na ngwongwo ya niile, tụkwasị ya nʼelu ihe e ji ebu ya.
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.
“Ha ga-ejikwa akwa anụnụ anụnụ tụsaa nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ e jiri ọlaedo mee, werekwa akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ya, tinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu ya nʼoghere dị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
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.
“Ihe ndị ọzọ niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ ka ha ga-eji akwa anụnụ anụnụ kekọtaa, jirikwa akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ha, tụkwasị ha nʼelu ihe e ji ebu ha.
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.
“A ga-ekpopụ ntụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ, jiri akwa na-acha ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, sachie ebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ.
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].
Emesịa ha ga-atụkwasị ihe niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ nʼelu akwa ahụ, ihe dịka ite ịgụ ọkụ, na ndụdụ, na ihe ikpofu ntụ, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile. Akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri ka a ga-eji sachie ha niile. Ma nʼikpeazụ, mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu ya ka a ga-etinye nʼebe ha kwesiri ịdị.
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].
“Mgbe Erọn na ụmụ ya kpuchisịrị ụlọnsọ ahụ na ngwongwo niile nke ebe nsọ ahụ, dịka ndị Izrel niile na-ejikere ibili ije, mgbe ahụ ka ndị Kohat ga-abata buru ihe ndị a. Ma ha agaghị emetụ ihe nsọ ndị a aka ka ha ghara ịnwụ. Ọrụ ibu ihe ndị a niile dị nʼime ụlọ nzute dịrị Ndị Kohat.
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.”
“Elieza nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, ka ọrụ ndị a dị nʼaka: mmanụ e ji amụ ọkụ, na ihe nsure ọkụ e ji ụda dị iche iche na-esi isi ụtọ mee, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka a na-enye ụbọchị niile, na mmanụ nsọ ahụ. Nʼaka ya ka ọrụ metụtara nlekọta ụlọ nzute ahụ niile, ihe niile dị nʼime ya na ngwongwo nsọ ya dị iche iche dị.”
17 “Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
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.”
“Unu ekwekwala ka agbụrụ Kohat bụrụ ndị e bipụrụ site nʼebo Livayị.
Otu a ka unu ga-esi meso ha mmeso ime ka ha dịrị ndụ, ghara ịnwụ, mgbe ha bịara nso ihe ndị ahụ dịkarịsịrị nsọ, Erọn na ụmụ ya ga-esoro ha banye gosi onye ọ bụla nʼime ha ihe ha ga-ebu.
Ma ndị Kohat ekwesighị ịbanye ilekwasị ihe nsọ ndị ahụ anya, ka ha ghara ịnwụ.”
21 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
22 “Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
“Gụọ ọnụ chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Geshọn, dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
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.
Mata ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ole ha dị, ndị kwesiri ịrụ ọrụ nʼụlọ nzute, ndị gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise.
24 “This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
“Ihe ga-abụ ọrụ ndị ikwu Geshọn ga-abụ ije ozi na ibu ibu.
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.
Ha ga-ebu akwa mgbochi ebe obibi ahụ na nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, tinyere akwa e ji sachie ya na akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri e ji mee elu ụlọ ya na akwa mgbochi dị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
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.
Ha ga-ebukwa akwa mgbochi niile e ji gechie ogige ahụ, akwa e ji gechie ọnụ ụzọ ama ogige gbara ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọ nzute ahụ gburugburu, ụdọ ya niile na ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi.
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.
Ọrụ ha niile, maọbụ ibu ihe ma ọ bụkwanụ ịrụ ọrụ ọzọ, ga-abụ site na ntụziaka Erọn na ụmụ ya. Ị ga-ekenye ha ọrụ dịrị ha nʼihe niile bụ ihe ha ga-ebu.
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.
Nke a bụ ọrụ dịịrị ikwu Geshọn nʼụlọ nzute. Ha ga-anọ nʼokpuru Itama, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, onye bụ onyeisi ha.
29 Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
“Gụọ, chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Merari dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
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.
Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ole ha dị, ndị gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị toruru ịrụ ọrụ nʼụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ije ozi ha dịka o si metụta ọrụ ụlọ nzute bụ ibu mbudo ụlọ nzute ahụ niile, osisi ntụbichi ya niile, ogidi osisi na ụkwụ ya niile;
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.
tinyere ogidi osisi niile dị ogige ahụ gburugburu na ụkwụ ha niile, ǹtu niile, ụdọ ha niile na ngwongwo ndị ọzọ e ji arụ ọrụ metụtara ihe ndị a ha ga-ebu. Kenye nwoke ọbụla ọrụ nke ya. Kpọ onye ahụ aha nye ya ọrụ nke ya.
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.”
Nke a bụ ọrụ dịịrị ndị agbụrụ Merari mgbe ha na-aga ozi ha nʼụlọ nzute. Ha ga-anọ nʼokpuru Itama, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, onye bụ onyeisi ha.”
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.
Ya mere, Mosis na Erọn na ndị ndu nzukọ ụmụ Izrel gụrụ ma chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Kohat, dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
35 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Ndị ikom niile gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị toruru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute ahụ
36 The total was 2,750 men.
dịka ikwu ha si dị bụ puku abụọ na narị asaa na iri ise.
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.
Ndị a niile bụ ndị si nʼikwu Kohat ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọ nzute. Mosis na Erọn gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
38 They/We also counted the descendants of Gershon, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
A gụrụ ụmụ Geshọn ọnụ dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
39 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Ndị ikom niile gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị toruru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute,
40 The total was 2,630 men.
dịka ikwu ha si dị bụ puku abụọ na narị isii na iri atọ.
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.
Ndị a niile bụ ndị si nʼikwu Geshọn ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọ nzute. Mosis na Erọn gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
42 They/We also counted the descendants of Merari, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
A gụrụ ụmụ Merari ọnụ dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
43 They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
Ndị ikom niile gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise ndị toruru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute
44 The total was 3,200 men.
dịka ikwu ha si dị bụ puku atọ na narị abụọ.
45 They were the descendants of Merari who [were able to] work. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Ndị a niile bụ ndị si nʼikwu Merari ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọ nzute. Mosis na Erọn gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
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.
Otu a ka Mosis na Erọn na ndị ndu ụmụ Izrel si gụọ ndị Livayị niile ọnụ dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
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.
Ndị ikom niile gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị toruru ije ozi na ibu ụlọ nzute ahụ
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].
Dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere site nʼaka Mosis si dị, e kenyere onye ọbụla ọrụ ya ma gwa ya ihe o kwesiri ibu. A gụrụ ha ọnụ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
