2 “Mixlẽ Kohat ƒe viwo tso Levi ƒe viwo dome le woƒe towo kple ƒomewo nu.
Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
3 Mixlẽ ŋutsu siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe blaatɔ̃, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le Agbadɔ la me.
from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.

So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
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 put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and 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 over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
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 over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —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.
Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
10 Ekema woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ nuawo katã dzi, eye woatsɔ nubabla blibo la ada ɖe agbati aɖe dzi.
and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a 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.
And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in 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 utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
13 “Woalɔ dzowɔ le akɔblivɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woatsɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ atsyɔ na vɔsamlekpui la.
Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
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 put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
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.
So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
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.”
But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 “Kpɔ egbɔ be womeɖe Kohat ƒomea ɖa le Levi ƒe viwo dome o.
Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of 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.
This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto 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 enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
21 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
22 “Xlẽ Gerson ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome,
reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house 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 upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
24 “Gerson viwo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakɔ:
This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
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 shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance 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 of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,

At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.

And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
