< Resansman 4 >

1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 -Fè resansman tout pitit gason moun Keyat yo, nan branch fanmi Levi a, dapre fanmi yo, dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
“Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
3 Pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. These will be men who will work at the Sacred Tent.
4 Men travay pitit gason Keyat yo va fè nan Tant Randevou a, kote yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a.
“The work of these descendants of Kohath will be [to take care of] the sacred items [that are used when the people worship] at the Sacred Tent.
5 Lè lè a rive pou pèp la ranmase zafè yo pou yo deplase, Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va antre nan kay Bondye a, y'a desann rido ki devan Bwat Kontra a, y'a kouvri bwat la ak li.
When you Israelis move to another location, Aaron and his sons must enter the tent to take down the curtain that separates the Very Holy Place from the other part of the Sacred Tent. They must cover the sacred chest with that curtain.
6 Y'a mete yon premye gwo nap an po bazann sou li, epi y'a kouvri l' ak yon dezyèm nap an twal ble. Apre sa, y'a pase manch pou pote bwat la nan gwo bag yo.
Then they must cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Over that they must spread a blue cloth. Then they must insert into the rings on the chest the poles [for carrying it].
7 Y'a kouvri tab pou pen yo ofri bay Bondye a ak yon dra ble. Y'a mete asyèt, tas, kafetyè ak bòl yo sèvi nan sèvis pou mwen yo sou li. Pen yo ofri bay Seyè a va toujou rete sou li tou.
“Then they must put a blue cloth over the table on which the priests put the sacred bread. On top of the cloth they must put the bowls [for incense], the pans, the other dishes, the jars for [the wine that will be] offered as a sacrifice, and the sacred bread.
8 Y'a voye yon dra wouj sou li, y'a kouvri tout ak yon nap fèt ak po bazann, epi y'a pase manch pou pote tab la nan gwo bag yo.
Over all of this they must spread a scarlet/red cloth. Finally, they must put on top a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into the [rings at the corners of] the tables the poles [for carrying it].
9 Y'a pran yon dra tou ble, y'a kouvri gwo lanp sèt branch lan ak tout ti lanp li yo, pensèt li yo, plat li yo ak veso pou lwil yo.
“Then with another blue cloth they must cover the lampstand, the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the trays, and the special jars of [olive] oil [to burn in the lamps].
10 Y'a vlope yo ansanm nan yon nap an po bazann, epi y'a mete l' sou yon branka pou pote l'.
They must cover the lampstand and all the other items with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. They must place all these things on a frame for carrying them.
11 Apre sa, y'a mete yon dra ble sou lotèl an lò a, y'a kouvri l' nèt ak yon nap an po bazann, epi y'a pase manch pou pote lotèl la nan bag yo.
“Then they must spread another blue cloth over the gold altar [which is used for burning] incense. Over this they must spread a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings of] that altar the poles for carrying it.
12 Y'a pran tout bagay yo sèvi nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, y'a mete yo nan yon dra ble, y'a vlope yo nan yon nap an po bazann, epi y'a mete yo sou yon branka pou pote yo.
“They must take all the other items that are inside the Sacred Tent and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats, and place all that on a frame for carrying it.
13 Y'a wete sann ki sou lotèl la, epi y'a kouvri lotèl la ak yon dra wouj.
“Then they must remove the ashes from the altar [on which they have burned sacrifices]. Then they must cover the altar with a purple cloth.
14 Y'a pran tout bagay ki mache ak lotèl la: recho, pèl, fouchèt, plat pou resevwa sann, y'a mete yo sou lotèl la. Apre sa, y'a kouvri l' ak yon nap an po bazann, epi y'a pase manch pou pote lotèl la.
Then they must spread on top of the cloth all the items used at the altar—the pans [for carrying the hot coals], the meat forks, the shovels, the bowls [for containing the blood to sprinkle on the people], and all the other containers. Then they must spread over all those things a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings at the sides of] the altar the poles [for carrying it].
15 Lè lè a va rive pou pèp la leve lamach, lè Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va fin kouvri tout mèb ki nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, ansanm ak tout bagay ki mache ak yo a, se lè sa a gason moun Keyat yo va vin pran mèb yo pou pote yo. Moun Keyat yo pa gen dwa manyen bagay yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Si yo fè sa, y'ap mouri. Se tout reskonsablite moun Keyat yo sa, lè y'ap deplase Tant Randevou a.
“Then Aaron and his sons have finished covering all these sacred things, the Israeli people will be ready to move [to a new location]. The descendants of Kohath must come and carry all the sacred things to [the next place] where you Israelis will set up your tents. But the descendants of Kohath must not touch any of these sacred items, because they will [immediately] die [if they touch them]. They are the ones who will carry these things, [but they must not touch them].
16 Eleaza, pitit gason Arawon, prèt la, va reskonsab kontwole lwil lanp yo, lansan santi bon an, pen yo toujou ofri bay Seyè a ak lwil pou mete moun apa a. Wi, l'a kontwole tout kay Bondye a nèt ak tou sa ki ladan l', menm kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a ak bagay ki ladan l' yo.
“Aaron’s son Eleazar will have the work of taking care of the [olive] oil for the lamps, the nice-smelling incense, the grain which will be burned on the altar each day, and the [olive] oil for anointing [the priests]. Eleazar is the one who will supervise the work that is done at the Sacred Tent and the men who take care of everything that is in it.”
17 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
“Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
18 -Pa kite anyen rive moun fanmi Keyat yo ki pou ta fè yo disparèt nan mitan moun Levi yo.
“When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent [to take them to another location], Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent [at any other time] and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.”
19 Men sa pou nou fè pou yo pa mouri, pou yo ka viv, lè y'ap pwoche bò bagay ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va antre anvan epi y'a bay chak moun travay pa yo, y'a di yo sa pou yo pote.
20 Men, moun Keyat yo pa janm gen dwa antre al gade lè y'ap vlope bagay ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Si yo fè sa, y'ap mouri.
21 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
22 -Fè resansman tout pitit gason moun Gèchon yo tou, dapre fanmi yo, dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
“Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
23 Pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
24 Men travay moun Gèchon yo, men sa pou yo pote:
“This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
25 lèz twal ki sèvi pou moute kay Bondye a ansanm ak gwo tant ki kouvri kay Bondye a, kouvèti fèt ak po bazann ki anwo tant lan, seri rido ki fèmen pòt Tant Randevou a,
They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
26 rido galeri ki kouvri tant lan ak lotèl la nèt, rido ki fèmen galeri a, kòd yo ak tout lòt bagay ki mache ak bagay sa yo. Se yo ki pou fè tout travay ki gen rapò ak bagay sa yo.
They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes [that fasten the curtains]. They must also do the packing and loading of these things.
27 Moun Gèchon yo va travay sou lòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Y'a fè tout travay yo, y'a pote tou sa yo gen pou yo pote. Y'a reskonsab tou sa y'ap pote a.
Aaron and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry.
28 Sa se tout reskonsablite moun Gèchon yo nan travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a. Se Itama, pitit gason Arawon, prèt la, ki va kontwole tou sa y'ap fè.
Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
29 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -W'a fè resansman tout pitit gason moun Merari yo, dapre fanmi yo, dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
30 W'a pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
31 Se yo menm k'ap reskonsab pote ankadreman, travès, poto ak sipò kay Bondye yo,
Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts [that hold up the curtains], and the bases.
32 poto, sipò, pikèt ak kòd pou galeri ki fè wonn tant lan, avèk tout bagay ki sèvi ak yo, ansanm ak tout zouti y'ap bezwen pou fè travay yo. Y'a bay chak moun non bagay la reskonsab pou l' pote a.
They must also carry the posts for [the curtains that form the walls of] the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes [to fasten the curtains]. Tell each man what things he must carry.
33 Se tout reskonsablite moun Merari yo sa nan travay yo gen pou fè nan Tant Randevou a. Se Itama, pitit Arawon, prèt la, ki va ba yo sa pou yo fè.
Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
34 Dapre lòd Seyè a te bay la, Moyiz, Arawon ak chèf pèp Izrayèl yo te fè resansman gason nan fanmi Keyat yo, dapre fanmi yo ak dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted the descendants of Kohath, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
35 Yo pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
36 Yo jwenn demil sètsansenkant (2.750) gason antou nan
The total was 2,750 men.
37 tout fanmi Keyat yo. Se moun sa yo ki te la pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a. Se yo menm Moyiz ak Arawon te konte dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la.
They were the descendants of Kohath who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
38 Apre sa, yo fè resansman gason nan fanmi Gèchon yo, dapre fanmi yo ak dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
They/We also counted the descendants of Gershon, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
39 Yo pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
40 Yo jwenn demil sisantran (2.630) gason
The total was 2,630 men.
41 nan tout fanmi Gèchon yo. Se moun sa yo ki te la pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a. Se yo menm Moyiz ak Arawon te konte dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la.
They were the descendants of Gershon who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded.
42 Apre sa, yo fè resansman gason nan fanmi Merari yo, dapre fanmi yo ak dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
They/We also counted the descendants of Merari, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
43 Yo pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
44 Yo jwenn twamil desan (3.200) gason
The total was 3,200 men.
45 nan tout fanmi Merari yo. Se moun sa yo ki te la pou fè travay ki gen pou fèt nan Tant Randevou a. Se yo menm Moyiz ak Arawon te konte dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la.
They were the descendants of Merari who [were able to] work. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
46 Se konsa Moyiz ak Arawon ak chèf pèp Izrayèl yo te fè resansman branch fanmi Levi yo, dapre fanmi yo ak dapre branch fanmi zansèt yo.
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted all the descendants of Levi, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
47 Yo te pran non tout gason, depi sa ki gen trantan jouk sa ki gen senkantan, tou sa ki gen laj pou fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a, osinon k'ap pote l' lè y'ap deplase.
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old. They were ones who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent and who carried the tent and everything that was connected with it.
48 Yo jwenn antou witmil senksankatreven (8.580) gason.
The total was 8,580 men.
49 Se konsa, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp la, yo pran non chak gason moun Levi yo ak travay pou yo fè ak sa pou yo pote. Se Seyè a menm ki te bay Moyiz lòd fè resansman sa a.
They/We completed the counting [of all the descendants of Levi], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me. And they/we told each man what work he was to do and what things he must carry [when they moved to a new location].
