Numbers 4
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
2 “Conduct a census of the male descendants of Kohath from among the Levites, by their clans and families.
“Kwan jo-Kohath ma gin bad jo-Lawi kaluwore gi gwengegi kod dhoutgi.
3 Count all the men who are thirty to fifty years old. These men must join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi chakore piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro tiyo e Hemb Romo.
4 The descendants of Kohath must take care of the most holy things reserved for me in the tent of meeting.
“Tij jo-Kohath e Hemb Romo en rito gik maler moloyo.
5 When the camp prepares to move forward, Aaron and his sons must go into the tent, take down the curtain that separates the most holy place from the holy place and cover the ark of the testimony with it.
Ka udar kama ujote, to Harun kod yawuote nyaka donji ei hema mi gigol pasia kendo giumgo Sandug Muma.
6 They must cover the ark with sea cow skins. They must spread a blue cloth over it. They must insert the poles to carry it.
Bangʼe gium nangani gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe, kendo giyar suka marambulu bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
7 They are to spread a blue cloth on the table of the bread of the presence. On it they must put the dishes, spoons, bowls, and jars for pouring. Bread must always continue to be on the table.
“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 They must cover them with a scarlet cloth and again with sea cow skins. They must insert poles to carry the table.
Nyaka gipedh nanga ewi gigi duto kendo giumgi gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe bangʼe giket sirni mitingʼego.
9 They must take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand, along with its lamps, tongs, trays, and all the jars of oil for 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 put the lampstand and all its accessories into a covering of sea cow skins, and they must put it on a carrying frame.
Bangʼe to nyaka giume gi piende monyongʼ mayom mag le mag nembe kaachiel gi gige duto kendo gikete e sirni mitingʼego.
11 They must spread a cloth of blue on the gold altar. They must cover it with a covering of sea cow skins, and then insert the carrying poles.
“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 equipment for the work in the holy place and wrap it in a blue cloth. They must cover it with sea cow skins and put the equipment on the carrying frame.
“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 They must remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on the altar.
“Nyaka gigol buru oko e kendo mar misango mar mula bangʼe gipedh suka maralik e wiye.
14 They must put on the carrying frame all the equipment that they use in the work of the altar. These objects are the firepans, forks, shovels, bowls, and all the other equipment for the altar. They must cover the altar with sea cow skins and then insert the carrying poles.
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 When Aaron and his sons have completely covered the holy place and all its equipment, and when the camp moves forward, then the descendants of Kohath must come to carry the holy place. If they touch the holy instruments, they must die. This is the work of the descendants of Kohath, to carry the furnishings in the tent of meeting.
“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 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest oversees the care of the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil. He oversees the care of the entire tabernacle and all that is in it, the holy place and its equipment.”
“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 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,
18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed from among the Levites.
“Neuru ni dhout jo-Kohath ok ogol oko kuom jo-Lawi,
19 Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
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.
20 they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
To dhout jo-Kohath kik donji nikech dipo ka gigoyo wangʼ-gi kuom gik maler mi githo.”
21 Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
22 “Conduct a census of the descendants of Gershon also, by their ancestor's families and by their clans.
“Kwan joka Gershon kaluwore gi anywolagi kod dhoutgi.
23 Count those who are thirty years old to fifty years old. Count all of them who will join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
Kwan chwo duto mahikgi en piero adek nyaka piero abich, ma gin joma obiro konyo tich mar Hemb Romo.
24 This is the work of the clans of the Gershonites, when they serve and what they carry.
“Ma e tich ma joka Gershon biro timo ka gitiyo kendo ka gitingʼo misigo:
25 They must carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, its covering, the covering of sea cow skin that is on it, and the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting.
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 carry the curtains of the court, the curtain for the doorway of the court's gate, which is near the tabernacle and near the altar, their ropes, and all the instruments for their service. Whatever should be done with these things, they must do it.
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 must direct all the service of the descendants of the Gershonites, in everything that they transport, and in all their service. You must assign them to all their responsibilities.
Tijegi duto, bedni en tingʼo kata tich moro amora nyaka tim ka Harun kod yawuote ema oteloe. Unupog-gi tich monego gitim.
28 This is the service of the clans of the descendants of the Gershonites for the tent of meeting. Ithamar son of Aaron the priest must lead them in their service.
Ma e tich ma dhout Gershon onego tim e Hemb Romo. Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo ema notelne tijegi.
29 You must count the descendants of Merari by their clans, and order them by their ancestor's families,
“Kwan jo-Merari kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
30 from thirty years old and older up to fifty years old. Count everyone who is going to join the company and serve in the tent of meeting.
Kwan joma chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mabiro konyo e tich mar Hemb Romo.
31 This is their responsibility and their work in all their service for the tent of meeting. They must care for the framing of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts, and sockets,
Ma e tich ma gibiro tiyo e Hemb Romo: ginitingʼ yiende moten-go kar lemo, fito mage, sirni kod mise,
32 along with the posts of the courtyard around the tabernacle, their sockets, pegs, and their ropes, with all their hardware. List by name the articles they 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 This is the service of the clans of the descendants of Merari, what they are to do for the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
Ma e tich ma dhood Merari onego ti e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Ithamar wuod Harun jadolo.”
34 Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the descendants of the Kohathites by the clans of their ancestor's families.
Musa, Harun kod jotend oganda mar jo-Israel nokwano jo-Kohath kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
35 They counted them from thirty years old and older up to fifty years old. They counted everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e tij Hemb Romo,
36 They counted 2,750 men by their clans.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia abiriyo gi piero abich.
37 Moses and Aaron counted all the men in the clans and families of the Kohathites who serve in the tent of meeting. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
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 The descendants of Gershon were counted in their clans, by their ancestor's families,
Jo-Gershon nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
39 from thirty to fifty years old, everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tich e Hemb Romo,
40 All the men, counted by their clans and their ancestor's families, numbered 2,630.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi, ne romo ji alufu ariyo mia auchiel gi piero adek.
41 Moses and Aaron counted the clans of the descendants of Gershon who would serve in the tent of meeting. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
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 The descendants of Merari were counted in their clans by their ancestor's families,
Jo-Merari nokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
43 from thirty to fifty years old, everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero adek gabich mane obiro chiwo kony e tich mar Hemb Romo,
44 All the men, counted by their clans and their ancestor's families, numbered 3,200.
kokwan kaluwore gi dhoutgi ne romo ji alufu adek gi mia ariyo.
45 Moses and Aaron counted all these men, the descendants of Merari. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
Ma e kar kwan joka Merari duto. Musa kod Harun nokwanogi kaluwore gi chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo kokalo kuom Musa.
46 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel counted all the Levites by their clans in their ancestral families
Omiyo Musa, Harun kod jotend Israel nokwano jo-Lawi duto kaluwore gi dhoutgi kod anywolagi.
47 from thirty to fifty years old. They counted everyone who would do work in the tabernacle, and who would carry and care for the items in the tent of meeting.
Chwo duto mahikgi piero adek nyaka piero abich mane obiro tiyo e Hemb Romo
48 They counted 8,580 men.
ne romo ji alufu aboro mia abich gi piero aboro.
49 At Yahweh's command, Moses counted each man, keeping count of each by the type of work he was assigned to do. He counted each man by the kind of responsibility he would bear. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
Kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye mane omiyo Musa, ngʼato ka ngʼato nomi tije. Kuom mano nokwan-gi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
