< Numbers 4 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
« Kati na bana mibali ya Levi, tanga motango ya bakitani ya Keati kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
Tala mosala ya bato ya Keati kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani: kobatela biloko oyo eleki bule.
5 And when the camp moveth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
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 shall put on it the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staffs of it.
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 upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover with: and the continual bread shall be on it:
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 upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put in the staffs of it.
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 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all its oil vessels, by which they serve it:
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 they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
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 golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put to it its staffs:
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 instruments of ministry, by which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put them on a bar:
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 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it:
Sima na bango kolongola putulu ya moto wuta na etumbelo, bakotanda liputa ya langi ya motane na likolo na yango;
14 And they shall put upon it all its vessels, by which they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put to it its staffs.
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 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to move forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, in the sanctuary, and in its vessels.
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 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
« Bolongola te kati na Balevi lisanga ya mabota ya bato ya Keati.
19 But thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to 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 go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
Basengeli te kokota bango moko mpo na kotala Esika ya bule, ata mpo na tango moke; soki te bakokufa. »
21 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
« Tanga motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
Tala misala mpe mokumba ya bituka ya bana mibali ya Gerishoni:
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, its covering, and the covering of the badgers’ skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
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 hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
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 appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint to them in charge all their burdens.
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 is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the 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, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
Okotanga motango ya bato ya Merari, etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko;
30 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
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 around the court, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
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 is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the 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 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
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 upward even to fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
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 those that were numbered of them by their families were 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 that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand 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 those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
39 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
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 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were 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 that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD.
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 those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Merari kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
43 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
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 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were 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 those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand 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 those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
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 upward even to fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,
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 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty.
batangamaki; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mwambe na nkama mitano na tuku mwambe.
49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered by him, as the LORD 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.
