Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Gụọ ọnụ chọpụta, ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Kohat dị nʼebo Livayị dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3 Gụọ ndị ikom niile gbarala iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị tozuru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute.
men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4 “Nke a bụ ọrụ dịrị ndị Kohat nʼụlọ nzute, ilekọta ihe ndị ahụ kachasị ịdị nsọ.
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Mgbe ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ ga-ebili ije ha, Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-eburu ụzọ banye nʼụlọ nzute ahụ wetuo akwa mgbochi ahụ, jiri ya kpuchie igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-agbakwasị akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri nʼelu akwa mgbochi ahụ, sakwasịkwa akwa na-acha anụnụ anụnụ nʼelu ya, tinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi niile nʼoghere ha kwesiri ịdị.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 “Nʼelu tebul ahụ na-adị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ha ga-agbasa akwa anụnụ anụnụ tụkwasịkwa efere niile, ngaji niile, ọkwa niile na iko aja ihe ọṅụṅụ. Achịcha ahụ na-adịgide nʼelu ya ga-adịkwa ebe ọ dị.
Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.
8 Ha ga-agbasakwa akwa uhie nʼelu ya, jiri akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri gbokwasịkwa nʼelu akwa uhie ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-etinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu tebul nʼime oghere o kwesiri ịdị.
And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 “Ọzọ, ha ga-eji akwa anụnụ anụnụ sachie ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nke na-enye ìhè, ya na oriọna ya niile, mkpa ya niile na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ ya niile na ite mmanụ ya niile, e ji awụnye ya mmanụ.
They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
10 Emesịa, ha ga-eji akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ya na ngwongwo ya niile, tụkwasị ya nʼelu ihe e ji ebu ya.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 “Ha ga-ejikwa akwa anụnụ anụnụ tụsaa nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ e jiri ọlaedo mee, werekwa akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ya, tinyekwa mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu ya nʼoghere dị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 “Ihe ndị ọzọ niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe nsọ ahụ ka ha ga-eji akwa anụnụ anụnụ kekọtaa, jirikwa akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ha, tụkwasị ha nʼelu ihe e ji ebu ha.
They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
13 “A ga-ekpopụ ntụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ, jiri akwa na-acha ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, sachie ebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ.
Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14 Emesịa ha ga-atụkwasị ihe niile e ji eje ozi nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ nʼelu akwa ahụ, ihe dịka ite ịgụ ọkụ, na ndụdụ, na ihe ikpofu ntụ, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile. Akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri ka a ga-eji sachie ha niile. Ma nʼikpeazụ, mkpọrọ osisi e ji ebu ya ka a ga-etinye nʼebe ha kwesiri ịdị.
and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.
15 “Mgbe Erọn na ụmụ ya kpuchisịrị ụlọnsọ ahụ na ngwongwo niile nke ebe nsọ ahụ, dịka ndị Izrel niile na-ejikere ibili ije, mgbe ahụ ka ndị Kohat ga-abata buru ihe ndị a. Ma ha agaghị emetụ ihe nsọ ndị a aka ka ha ghara ịnwụ. Ọrụ ibu ihe ndị a niile dị nʼime ụlọ nzute dịrị Ndị Kohat.
When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
16 “Elieza nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, ka ọrụ ndị a dị nʼaka: mmanụ e ji amụ ọkụ, na ihe nsure ọkụ e ji ụda dị iche iche na-esi isi ụtọ mee, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka a na-enye ụbọchị niile, na mmanụ nsọ ahụ. Nʼaka ya ka ọrụ metụtara nlekọta ụlọ nzute ahụ niile, ihe niile dị nʼime ya na ngwongwo nsọ ya dị iche iche dị.”
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
17 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18 “Unu ekwekwala ka agbụrụ Kohat bụrụ ndị e bipụrụ site nʼebo Livayị.
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19 Otu a ka unu ga-esi meso ha mmeso ime ka ha dịrị ndụ, ghara ịnwụ, mgbe ha bịara nso ihe ndị ahụ dịkarịsịrị nsọ, Erọn na ụmụ ya ga-esoro ha banye gosi onye ọ bụla nʼime ha ihe ha ga-ebu.
In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
20 Ma ndị Kohat ekwesighị ịbanye ilekwasị ihe nsọ ndị ahụ anya, ka ha ghara ịnwụ.”
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21 Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And the LORD said to Moses,
22 “Gụọ ọnụ chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Geshọn, dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23 Mata ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ole ha dị, ndị kwesiri ịrụ ọrụ nʼụlọ nzute, ndị gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24 “Ihe ga-abụ ọrụ ndị ikwu Geshọn ga-abụ ije ozi na ibu ibu.
This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
25 Ha ga-ebu akwa mgbochi ebe obibi ahụ na nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, tinyere akwa e ji sachie ya na akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri e ji mee elu ụlọ ya na akwa mgbochi dị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
26 Ha ga-ebukwa akwa mgbochi niile e ji gechie ogige ahụ, akwa e ji gechie ọnụ ụzọ ama ogige gbara ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọ nzute ahụ gburugburu, ụdọ ya niile na ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi.
the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.
27 Ọrụ ha niile, maọbụ ibu ihe ma ọ bụkwanụ ịrụ ọrụ ọzọ, ga-abụ site na ntụziaka Erọn na ụmụ ya. Ị ga-ekenye ha ọrụ dịrị ha nʼihe niile bụ ihe ha ga-ebu.
All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.
28 Nke a bụ ọrụ dịịrị ikwu Geshọn nʼụlọ nzute. Ha ga-anọ nʼokpuru Itama, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, onye bụ onyeisi ha.
This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Gụọ, chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Merari dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
30 Chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ole ha dị, ndị gbara iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị toruru ịrụ ọrụ nʼụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31 Ije ozi ha dịka o si metụta ọrụ ụlọ nzute bụ ibu mbudo ụlọ nzute ahụ niile, osisi ntụbichi ya niile, ogidi osisi na ụkwụ ya niile;
This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,

and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
33 Nke a bụ ọrụ dịịrị ndị agbụrụ Merari mgbe ha na-aga ozi ha nʼụlọ nzute. Ha ga-anọ nʼokpuru Itama, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, onye bụ onyeisi ha.”
This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
