Numbers 4
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
2 'Take up the sum of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;
“Werengani Akohati omwe ndi gawo limodzi la Alevi monga mwa mafuko awo ndi mabanja awo.
3 from a son of thirty years and upward, even till a son of fifty years, every one going in to the host, to do work in the tent of meeting.
Werengani amuna onse amene ali ndi zaka makumi atatu mpaka zaka makumi asanu amene amabwera kudzagwira ntchito mu tenti ya msonkhano.
4 'This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of holies:
“Ntchito ya Akohati mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi iyi: kusamalira zinthu zopatulika kwambiri.
5 that Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the vail of the hanging, and have covered with it the ark of the testimony;
Pamene anthu akusamuka pa msasa, Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna azilowa mu tenti ndi kuchotsa chinsalu chotchingira ndi kuphimba nacho bokosi la umboni.
6 and have put on it a covering of badger skin, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its staves.
Ndipo azikuta bokosilo ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyala pamwamba pake nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kuyika mitengo yonyamulira mʼmalo mwake.
7 'And on the table of the presence they spread a garment of blue, and have put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the libation, and the bread of continuity is on it,
“Pa tebulo pamene pamakhala buledi wa ansembe aziyalapo nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, ndipo aziyikapo mbale, mabeseni, zipande ndi mitsuko yoperekera nsembe yachakumwa. Aziyikaponso buledi wokhala pamenepo nthawi zonse.
8 and they have spread over them a garment of scarlet, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves,
Tsono pamwamba pa izi aziyalapo nsalu yofiira, ndi kuzikuta mʼzikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyika mitengo yonyamulira mʼmalo mwake.
9 and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the candlestick of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels wherewith they minister to it;
“Azitenga nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kukutira choyikapo nyale, pamodzi ndi nyale zake, zopanira zake, zotengera zake ndi mitsuko yonse yosungiramo mafuta.
10 and they have put it and all its vessels unto a covering of badger skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
Kenaka achikulunge pamodzi ndi zipangizo zake zonse mʼzikopa za akatumbu ndi kuchiyika pa chonyamulira chake.
11 'And on the golden altar they spread a garment of blue, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves;
“Pamwamba pa guwa la golide aziyalapo nsalu ya mtundu wa thambo ndi kukutira ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuyika mʼmalo mwake mitengo yonyamulira.
12 and have taken all the vessels of ministry wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and have put [them] unto a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of badger skin, and have put [them] on the bar,
“Azitenga zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito ku malo wopatulika, azizikulunga mʼnsalu ya mtundu wa thambo, azizikuta ndi zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika pa zonyamulira zake.
13 and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread over it a garment of purple;
“Azichotsa phulusa la pa guwa lansembe lamkuwa ndi kuyalapo nsalu yapepo pamwamba pake.
14 and have put on it all its vessels wherewith they minister about it, the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar, and have spread on it a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves:
Kenaka aziyikapo zipangizo zonse zogwiritsira ntchito potumikira pa guwa, kuphatikizapo miphika yowotchera nyama, mafoloko otengera nyama, zowolera phulusa ndi mbale zowazira magazi pa guwa lansembe ndipo pamwamba pake aziyalapo zikopa za akatumbu ndi kuziyika mʼzonyamulira zake.
15 'And Aaron hath finished — his sons also — covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, in the journeying of the camp, and afterwards do the sons of Kohath come in to bear [it], and they do not come unto the holy thing, that they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
“Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna akamaliza kukutira ziwiya za ku malo wopatulika ndi zipangizo zopatulika zonse, ndipo akakonzeka kusamuka pamalopo, Akohati abwere kudzazinyamula koma asagwire zinthu zopatulikazo. Akatero adzafa. Izi ndizo zinthu zimene Akohati ayenera kunyamula mu tenti ya msonkhano.
16 'And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-perfume, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary, and in its vessels.'
“Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe, aziyangʼanira mafuta a nyale, ndi lubani wa nsembe zofukiza, nsembe yaufa yoperekedwa nthawi zonse ndi mafuta odzozera. Aziyangʼaniranso chihema ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo, kuphatikizapo zida ndi ziwiya zonse zopatulika.”
17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Yehova anawuzanso Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
18 'Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;
“Onetsetsani kuti mabanja a fuko la Kohati asachotsedwe kwa Alevi.
19 but this do to them, and they have lived, and do not die in their drawing nigh the holy of holies: — Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and unto his burden,
Koma muziwachitira izi kuti asafe, akhalebe ndi moyo pamene ayandikira zinthu za ku malo wopatulika kwambiri: Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna azipita ku malo wopatulika ndi kumamupatsa munthu aliyense ntchito yake ndi zimene ayenera kunyamula.
20 and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, that they have died.'
Koma Akohati asalowe kukaona zinthu zopatulika, ngakhale kanthawi pangʼono, chifukwa akatero adzafa.”
21 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
22 'Take up the sum of the sons of Gershon also by the house of their fathers, by their families;
“Werenganso Ageresoni monga mwa mabanja ndi mafuko awo.
23 from a son of thirty years and upward, till a son of fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the tent of meeting.
Uwerenge amuna onse a zaka makumi atatu mpaka a zaka makumi asanu zakubadwa amene amabwera kudzatumikira ku tenti ya msonkhano.
24 'This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve — and for burden,
“Ntchito ya mafuko a Ageresoni pamene akugwira ntchito ndi kunyamula katundu ndi iyi:
25 and they have borne the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of the badger [skin] which [is] on it above, and the vail at the opening of the tent of meeting,
Azinyamula makatani a ku chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, zokutira zake ndi zokutira kunja za zikopa za akatumbu, makatani a pa khomo la ku tenti ya msonkhano,
26 and the hangings of the court, and the vail at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them — and they have served.
makatani wotchingira bwalo lozungulira chihema ndi guwa, katani ya pa khomo, zingwe ndi zida zonse zimene zimagwiritsidwa ntchito mʼchihema. Ageresoni azichita zonse zofunika kuchitika ndi zinthu zimenezi.
27 'By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of the sons of the Gershonite in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye have laid a charge on them concerning the charge of all their burden.
Ntchito yawo yonse, kaya kunyamula kapena kugwira ntchito zina, achite Ageresoni motsogozedwa ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna. Uwagawire ntchito zonse zimene akuyenera kugwira.
28 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonite in the tent of meeting; and their charge [is] under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
Iyi ndiye ntchito ya fuko la Ageresoni ku tenti ya msonkhano. Ntchito zawo zichitike motsogozedwa ndi Itamara mwana wa wansembe Aaroni.
29 'The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers, thou dost number them;
“Werenga Amerari monga mwa mafuko awo ndi mabanja awo.
30 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to the host, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
Werenga amuna onse a zaka makumi atatu mpaka zaka makumi asanu zakubadwa amene akatumikire mu tenti ya msonkhano.
31 'And this [is] the charge of their burden, of all their service in the tent of meeting; the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
Ntchito yawo pamene azikatumikira mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi iyi: kunyamula matabwa a chihema, mitanda, mizati ndi matsinde,
32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, of all their vessels, and of all their service; and by name ye do number the vessels of the charge of their burden.
ndiponso mizati yozungulira bwalo ndi matsinde ake, zikhomo za chihema, zingwe ndi zipangizo zake zonse ndiponso zonse zokhudzana ndi ntchito yake. Uwuze munthu aliyense chomwe ayenera kuchita.
33 'This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, for all their service, in the tent of meeting, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.'
Iyi ndiyo ntchito ya mafuko a Amerari pamene akugwira ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano motsogozedwa ndi Itamara mwana wa wansembe Aaroni.”
34 And Moses numbereth — Aaron also, and the princes of the company — the sons of the Kohathite, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,
Mose, Aaroni ndi atsogoleri a magulu a anthu anawerenga Akohati monga mwa mafuko ndi mabanja awo.
35 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting,
Aamuna onse a zaka makumi atatu mpaka makumi asanu amene anabwera kudzagwira ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano,
36 and their numbered ones, by their families, are two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
atawawerenga mwa mafuko awo, anali 2,750.
37 These [are] those numbered of the families of the Kohathite, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses.
Ichi chinali chiwerengero cha mafuko a Akohati onse omwe ankatumikira mu tenti ya msonkhano. Mose ndi Aaroni anawawerenga monga mwa lamulo la Yehova.
38 And those numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

Ichi ndicho chinali chiwerengero cha mabanja a Amerari. Mose ndi Aaroni anawawerenga monga momwe Yehova anawalamulira kudzera mwa Mose.
46 All those numbered, whom Moses numbered — Aaron also, and the princes of Israel — of the Levites, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,
Kotero Mose, Aaroni ndi atsogoleri a Israeli anawerenga Alevi onse monga mwa mafuko ndi mabanja awo.
47 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to do the work of the service, even the service of burden in the tent of meeting,
Aamuna onse a zaka makumi atatu mpaka zaka makumi asanu omwe anabwera kudzagwira ntchito yonyamula zinthu ku tenti ya msonkhano
48 even their numbered ones are eight thousand and five hundred and eighty;
analipo 8,580.
49 by the command of Jehovah hath [one] numbered them, by the hand of Moses, each man by his service, and by his burden, with his numbered ones, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Aliyense anamupatsa ntchito ndi kumuwuza choti anyamule monga mwa lamulo la Yehova kudzera mwa Mose. Anawawerenga chomwechi potsata zimene Yehova analamula Mose.
