And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

2 “Mixlẽ Kohat ƒe viwo tso Levi ƒe viwo dome le woƒe towo kple ƒomewo nu.

Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

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.

4 “Esiawoe nye Kohat ƒe viwo ƒe dɔ le agbadɔ la me: nu kɔkɔetɔwo dzi kpɔkpɔ.

This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about 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.

And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony 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 shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.

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 upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover likewise: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

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 they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.

9 “Nu si woagawɔ azɔe nye woatsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ atsyɔ akaɖiti la, akaɖigbɛawo, ɖovulãnuwo, nutɔgbawo kple amigoe la dzi.

And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his intruments for snuffings, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:

10 Ekema woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ nuawo katã dzi, eye woatsɔ nubabla blibo la ada ɖe agbati aɖe dzi.

And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.

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.

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 the staves thereof:

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.

And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith 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:

13 “Woalɔ dzowɔ le akɔblivɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woatsɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ atsyɔ na vɔsamlekpui la.

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

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.

And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the forks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

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 when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set 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.

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 to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertains the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily food offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,

18 “Kpɔ egbɔ be womeɖe Kohat ƒomea ɖa le Levi ƒe viwo dome o.

Cut all of you not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites 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 thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:

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 shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

21 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

22 “Xlẽ Gerson ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome,

Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;

23 ame siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃, eye wodze na dɔ kɔkɔe la wɔwɔ le agbadɔ la me.

From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall you number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

24 “Gerson viwo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakɔ:

This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:

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.

And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his 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,

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 of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.

27 Aron alo via ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ate ŋu ade dɔ siawo asi na Gerson ƒe viwo,

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 all of you shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

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.

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.

As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;

From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shall you number them, every one that enters into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.

31 Esiae nye woƒe dɔdeasi si woawɔ le agbadɔ la ŋuti dɔwo wɔwɔ me: woakɔ ʋuƒowo, gamedetiawo, sɔtiawo kple woƒe afɔwo,

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 the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,

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 court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name all of you shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
