1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Mixlẽ Kohat ƒe viwo tso Levi ƒe viwo dome le woƒe towo kple ƒomewo nu.
Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
3 Mixlẽ ŋutsu siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe blaatɔ̃, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le Agbadɔ la me.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
4 “Esiawoe nye Kohat ƒe viwo ƒe dɔ le agbadɔ la me: nu kɔkɔetɔwo dzi kpɔkpɔ.
And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.
5 Ne asaɖa la le hoho ge la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo age ɖe Agbadɔ la me gbã. Woaɖe xɔmetsovɔ la, eye woatsɔe atsyɔ nubablaɖaka la dzi.
When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;
6 Emegbe la, woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ xɔmetsovɔ la dzi, atsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ atsyɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la dzi, eye woatsɔ nubablaɖakakɔkpoawo aƒo ɖe eƒe gagodoeawo me.
And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.
7 “Le esia megbe la, woatsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ la akeke ɖe ŋkumeɖobolo la ƒe kplɔ̃ la dzi, eye woatsɔ agbawo, gatsiwo, trewo kple kpluwo kple abolo la ada ɖe avɔ la dzi.
And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;
8 Woakeke avɔ dzĩtɔ ɖe nu siawo dzi, eye woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ la dzi azɔ. Emegbe la, woatsɔ kplɔ̃kɔkpoawo ade kplɔ̃ la ƒe gagodoeawo me.
And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.
9 “Nu si woagawɔ azɔe nye woatsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ atsyɔ akaɖiti la, akaɖigbɛawo, ɖovulãnuwo, nutɔgbawo kple amigoe la dzi.
And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:
10 Ekema woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ nuawo katã dzi, eye woatsɔ nubabla blibo la ada ɖe agbati aɖe dzi.
All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame.
11 “Azɔ la, woatsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ atsyɔ sikavɔsamlekpui la dzi, atsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ eya hã dzi, eye woatsɔ kpoawo aƒo ɖe gagodoeawo me le vɔsamlekpui la ŋu.
On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.
12 “Ekema woabla nu bubu siwo katã asusɔ ɖe agbadɔ la me la ɖe avɔ blɔtɔ aɖe me, atsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ eya hã dzi, eye woada nubabla la ɖe agbati dzi.
All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.
13 “Woalɔ dzowɔ le akɔblivɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woatsɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ atsyɔ na vɔsamlekpui la.
And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;
14 Woatsɔ nu siwo katã ŋu dɔ wowɔna le vɔsamlekpui la dzi la ada ɖe avɔ la dzi. Nu siawoe nye afilɔnuwo, gaflowo, sofiwo, zewo kple vɔsamlekpui la dzi nu bubuawo katã, eye woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ wo dzi. Woatsɔ nukɔkpoawo ade woƒe gagodoeawo me.
Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.
15 “Ne Aron kple via ŋutsuwo wu agbadodo kple nu kɔkɔeawo kple wo ŋunuwo katã nu vɔ, eye ameha la le klalo be yeaho adzo la, Kohat ƒe viwo ava akɔ agbawo. Ke womekpɔ mɔ aka asi nu kɔkɔeawo ŋu o, be womagaku o. Kohat ƒe viwo akɔ nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me.
And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.
16 “Nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu, Eleazar, ƒe dɔdeasie nye wòakpɔ akaɖimemiwo, dzudzɔdonu ʋeʋĩwo, gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuvɔsa kple ami sisi la dzi. Kpuie ko la, eƒe dɔe nye wòakpɔ Agbadɔ blibo la kple nu siwo katã le eme la dzi.”
And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.
17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
18 “Kpɔ egbɔ be womeɖe Kohat ƒomea ɖa le Levi ƒe viwo dome o.
Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;
19 Be woanɔ agbe, eye womaku o, ne wote ɖe nu kɔkɔewo ŋu la, miwɔ nu siawo na wo: Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ayi ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòade dɔ si ame sia ame awɔ kple nu sia nu si wòakɔ la asi nɛ.
But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;
20 Ne womekplɔ Kohat ƒe viŋutsuwo yi o la, mele be woage ɖe agbadɔ la me o; ne menye nenema o la, woakpɔ nu kɔkɔeawo le afi ma, eye woaku.”
But they themselves are not to go in to see the holy place, even for a minute, for fear of death.
21 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord said to Moses,
22 “Xlẽ Gerson ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome,
Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
23 ame siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃, eye wodze na dɔ kɔkɔe la wɔwɔ le agbadɔ la me.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
24 “Gerson viwo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakɔ:
This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.
25 Nɔƒe la ƒe xɔmetsovɔ, agbadɔ la ŋutɔ kple kpɔ si ƒo xlãe, gbɔ̃gbalẽ si wotsɔ gbã agbadɔ la kple avɔ si le eƒe mɔnu.
They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;
26 Woawoe akɔ kpɔ si ƒo xlã nɔƒe la ŋu vɔwo, agbonuvɔ si le nɔƒe si ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la kple agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ƒe vɔsamlekpui la, kawo kple wo ŋu nu bubuawo katã. Woawo ƒe dɔ wònye be woakɔ nu siawo.
And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.
27 Aron alo via ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ate ŋu ade dɔ siawo asi na Gerson ƒe viwo,
From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Azɔ la, xlẽ Merari ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome, ŋutsu siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe blaatɔ̃, eye wodze na dɔwɔwɔ le Agbadɔ la me.

Every one from thirty to fifty years old who is able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
31 Esiae nye woƒe dɔdeasi si woawɔ le agbadɔ la ŋuti dɔwo wɔwɔ me: woakɔ ʋuƒowo, gamedetiawo, sɔtiawo kple woƒe afɔwo,
And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;
32 nɔƒe la ƒe kpɔ ƒe sɔtiwo kple zɔwo, tsyotiwo, kawo kple nu sia nu si ku ɖe wo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ kple wo dzadzraɖo ŋu. De dɔ asi na ame sia ame wotɔxɛtɔxɛe.
And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.
