Numbers 4
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
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;
Thathani inani lonke lamadodana kaKohathi avela phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, ngensendo zawo, ngezindlu zaboyise,
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.
kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, wonke ongena enkonzweni ukwenza umsebenzi wethente lenhlangano.
4 'This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of holies:
Lo ngumsebenzi wamadodana kaKohathi ethenteni lenhlangano: Izinto ezingcwelengcwele.
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;
Ekusukeni-ke kwenkamba uAroni lamadodana akhe bazakuza behlise iveyili lesembeso, basibekele umtshokotsho wobufakazi ngalo,
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.
bazabeka phezu kwawo izikhumba zikamantswane, bendlale phezu kwawo ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lonke, bafake imijabo yawo.
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,
Laphezu kwetafula lokubukisa bazakwendlala ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, babeke phezu kwalo imiganu, lenkezo zempepha, lezitsha, lenkezo zomnikelo wokunathwayo; lesinkwa esihlezi sikhona sizakuba phezu kwalo.
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,
Laphezu kwalezizinto bazakwendlala ilembu elibomvu, balembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
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;
Bazathatha-ke ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bembese uluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezibane zalo, lendlawu zalo, lemiganu yalo yomlotha, lezitsha zonke zalo zamafutha abasebenza ngazo kulo.
10 and they have put it and all its vessels unto a covering of badger skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
Njalo bazalufaka kanye lezinto zalo zonke esembesweni sezikhumba zikamantswane, bakugaxe egodweni.
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;
Laphezu kwelathi legolide bazakwendlala ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, balembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
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,
Njalo bazathatha yonke impahla yenkonzo, abakhonza ngayo endlini engcwele, bayifake elenjini eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bayembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bayigaxe egodweni.
13 and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread over it a garment of purple;
Njalo bazasusa umlotha elathini, bendlale phezu kwalo ilembu eliyibubende,
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:
babeke phezu kwalo zonke izinto zalo abakhonza ngazo kulo, izitsha zokuthwala umlilo, amafologwe enyama, lamafotsholo, lemiganu yokufafaza, zonke izinto zelathi; bendlale phezu kwalo isembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
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.
Lapho uAroni lamadodana akhe sebeqedile ukwembesa indlu engcwele lempahla zonke zendlu engcwele, ekususweni kwenkamba, emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohathi azakuza ukuthwala, kodwa kawayikuthinta into engcwele hlezi afe. Lezizinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohathi, ethenteni lenhlangano.
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.'
Ubongameli bukaEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi buzakuba ngamafutha esibane, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lomnikelo wokudla njalonjalo, lamafutha okugcoba; ububonisi ngethabhanekele lonke lakho konke okukilo, endlini engcwele lezitsheni zayo.
17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
18 'Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;
Lingaqumi insendo zesizwe samaKohathi zisuke phakathi kwamaLevi.
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,
Kodwa lokho kwenzeni kuwo, ukuze aphile angafi, ekusondeleni kwawo ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele; uAroni lamadodana akhe bazangena, bawamise lowo lalowo emsebenzini wakhe lemthwalweni wakhe;
20 and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, that they have died.'
kodwa kawayikungena ukubona lapho izinto ezingcwele zigoqelwa, hlezi afe.
21 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
22 'Take up the sum of the sons of Gershon also by the house of their fathers, by their families;
Thatha inani lonke lamadodana kaGerishoni lawo, ngezindlu zaboyise, ngensendo zawo,
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.
kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu uzababala; wonke ongena ukukhonza inkonzo, ukuthi enze umsebenzi ethenteni lenhlangano.
24 'This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve — and for burden,
Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamaGerishoni ukukhonza lemthwalweni;
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,
bazathwala-ke amakhetheni ethabhanekele, lethente lenhlangano, isembeso salo, lesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane eziphezu kwalo phezulu, lesilenge somnyango wethente lenhlangano,
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.
lamakhetheni eguma, lesilenge somnyango wesango leguma eliseduze lethabhanekele njalo eduze lelathi inhlangothi zonke, lentambo zazo, lempahla yonke yenkonzo yabo, lakho konke okwenzelwe bona; basebenze-ke.
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.
Njengokulaya kukaAroni lamadodana akhe uzakuba njalo umsebenzi wonke wamadodana amaGerishoni emthwalweni wabo wonke lenkonzweni yabo yonke. Uzawamisa ukugcina wonke umthwalo wabo.
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.
Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamadodana amaGerishoni ethenteni lenhlangano; ukugcinwa kwawo kuzakuba ngaphansi kwesandla sikaIthamari indodana kaAroni umpristi.
29 'The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers, thou dost number them;
Amadodana kaMerari uzawabala ngensendo zawo ngezindlu zaboyise,
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.
kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu uzababala, wonke ongena enkonzweni, ukusebenza umsebenzi wethente lenhlangano.
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,
Lalokhu yikugcinwa komthwalo wabo, njengokomsebenzi wabo wonke ethenteni lenhlangano: Amapulanka ethabhanekele, lemithando yalo, lensika zalo, lezisekelo zalo,
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.
lensika zeguma inhlangothi zonke, lezisekelo zazo, lezikhonkwane zazo, lezintambo zazo, lempahla yazo yonke, lomsebenzi wazo wonke. Njalo lizaziqamba ngamabizo impahla abafanele ukuzithwala.
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.'
Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamadodana kaMerari, ngokomsebenzi wonke wawo ethenteni lenhlangano, ngaphansi kwesandla sikaIthamari indodana kaAroni umpristi.
