1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Thĩinĩ wa Alawii-rĩ, tarai rũhonge rwa Akohathu kũringana na mbarĩ ciao na nyũmba ciao.
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 “Ũyũ nĩguo wĩra wa Akohathu thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo: wĩra wao nĩ kũmenyerera indo iria theru mũno.
This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
5 Rĩrĩa kambĩ ĩgũthaama-rĩ, Harũni na ariũ ake marĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa hema ĩyo makaruta gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa kũhakania na makahumbĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira nakĩo.
And when the camp moveth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 Ningĩ marĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu mũtheri igũrũ rĩacio, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
And shall put on it the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staffs of it.
7 “Nao maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa metha ya mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova, na mamĩigĩrĩre thaani, na thaani, nene na mbakũri, na ndigithũ cia magongona ma kũnyuuo; na mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo hau hĩndĩ ciothe ĩikare o hau igũrũ.
And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover with: and the continual bread shall be on it:
8 Macooke maigĩrĩre gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa gakarakũ igũrũ rĩa indo icio na ningĩ mahumbĩre gĩtambaya kĩu na njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
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 staffs of it.
9 “Ningĩ moe gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, mahumbĩre mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa marĩa mamũrĩkaga, hamwe na matawa maguo, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na thaani cia mũrarĩ wa ndaambĩ, na ndigithũ cia gwĩkĩrwo maguta ma matawa macio.
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all its oil vessels, by which they serve it:
10 Ningĩ makũnje mũtĩ ũcio na indo ciaguo ciothe ciohetwo na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na macigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
And they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 “Nĩ maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona gĩa thahabu, na makĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
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 it its staffs:
12 “Ningĩ moe indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, macikũnje na gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, macihumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maciigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, by which 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 “Ningĩ nĩ marute mũhu kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ gĩa gĩcango, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa ndathi igũrũ rĩakĩo.
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it:
14 Ningĩ maigĩrĩre indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo gũtungata kĩgongona-inĩ, nacio nĩ hamwe na ngĩo cia mwaki, na njibe, na icakũri, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria. Igũrũ rĩakĩo nĩ maare gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
And they shall put upon it all its vessels, by which they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put to it its staffs.
15 “Thuutha wa Harũni na ariũ ake kũrĩĩkia kũhumbĩra indo ciothe theru o na indo ciothe nyamũre, na rĩrĩa andũ a kambĩ mehaarĩria gũthaama-rĩ, ariũ a Akohathu nao moke makuue indo icio. No matikanahutie indo icio nyamũre matigakue. Akohathu acio nĩo magaakuua indo iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to move 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 “Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra maguta ma gwakia tawa, na ũbumba ũrĩa ũnungaga wega, na mũtu ũrĩa ũrutagwo hĩndĩ ciothe, o na maguta marĩa maitanagĩrĩrio. Nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre ĩrĩ yothe na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo, nĩcio indo iria nyamũre ciĩkĩrĩtwo kuo, na indo cia wĩra.”
And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, in the sanctuary, and in its vessels.
17 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
18 “Menyererai mbarĩ cia mũhĩrĩga wa Akohathu matikaneherio kuuma kũrĩ Alawii.
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
19 Nĩguo matũũre muoyo na matikae gũkua rĩrĩa mangĩkuhĩrĩria indo iria theru mũno-rĩ, mekagĩrei ũũ: Harũni na ariũ ake nĩo marĩtoonyaga handũ harĩa hatheru, na makagaĩra o mũndũ wĩra wake na kĩrĩa egũkuua.
But thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
20 No ariũ a Kohathu matikanatoonye thĩinĩ kuona indo iria theru o na hanini, nĩguo matigaakue.”
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
22 “Tara Agerishoni o nao kũringana na nyũmba ciao na mbarĩ ciao.
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
23 Ũtare arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
24 “Ũyũ nĩguo ũtungata wa mbarĩ cia Agerishoni rĩrĩa mekũruta wĩra na gũkuua mĩrigo:
This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
25 Nĩo marĩkuuaga itambaya cia gũcuurio cia Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo cia kũmĩhumbĩra, o na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo cia kũmĩhumbĩra na igũrũ, na itambaya cia gũcuurio cia itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, its 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 na itambaya cia gũcuurio iria cia kũirigĩra nja ĩrĩa ĩthiũrũrũkĩirie Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre na kĩgongona, na gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa itoonyero-inĩ, na mĩhĩndo na indo ciothe itũmagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wayo. Agerishoni acio nĩo marĩrutaga wĩra wothe ũrĩa wagĩrĩire kũrutwo na indo icio.
And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
27 Ũtungata wao wothe, ũrĩ wa gũkuua mĩrigo kana wa kũruta wĩra ũngĩ, ũrĩĩrutagwo ũtongoretio nĩ Harũni na ariũ ake. Nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩmagayagĩra wĩra wao wa kĩrĩa gĩothe marĩkuuaga.
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 ye shall appoint to them in charge all their burdens.
28 Ũcio nĩguo ũtungata wa mbarĩ ya Agerishoni Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Wĩra wao ũrĩĩrutagwo ũtongoretio nĩ Ithamaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
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 “Tara Amerari kũringana na mbarĩ na nyũmba ciao.
As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
30 Tara arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
31 Ũyũ nĩguo wĩra wao ũrĩa marĩrutaga magĩtungata Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo: wĩra wao nĩ gũkuuaga buremu cia Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre, na mĩgĩĩko yayo, na itugĩ na itina ciacio,
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 its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
32 o ũndũ ũmwe na itugĩ iria ciirigĩte nja hamwe na itina ciacio, na higĩ cia hema na mĩhĩndo, na indo ciothe ciacio na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩkonainie na kũruta wĩra ũcio. Gayagĩra o mũndũ indo iria agĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkuua.
And the pillars around the court, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
