The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 “Gụọ ọnụ chọpụta, ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Kohat dị nʼebo Livayị dịka ikwu ha na ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
“Register the descendants of Kohath from the tribe of Levi, according to their family and father's line.
3 Gụọ ndị ikom niile gbarala iri afọ atọ ruo iri afọ ise, ndị tozuru ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute.
Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
4 “Nke a bụ ọrụ dịrị ndị Kohat nʼụlọ nzute, ilekọta ihe ndị ahụ kachasị ịdị nsọ.
This work that they are to do in the Tent of Meetings involves the things that are most holy.
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 you move camp, Aaron and his sons will go in, take down the veil, and place it over the Ark of the Testimony.
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.
On top of this they are to put a fine leather covering, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and then insert its carrying 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.
Have them spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence as well, and put the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and jugs for the drink offering. The current bread offering is to stay 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.
Over everything they are to spread a crimson cloth, next a fine leather covering, and then insert its carrying 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.
Using a blue cloth, they are to cover the lampstand of light, together with its lamps, wick tongs, and trays, as well as the jars of olive oil used to fill them.
10 Emesịa, ha ga-eji akpụkpọ anụ ehi mmiri sachie ya na ngwongwo ya niile, tụkwasị ya nʼelu ihe e ji ebu ya.
Then have them wrap it together with all its utensils inside a fine leather covering and place 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.
They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with fine leather, and then insert its carrying 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 place all the utensils used for the service in the sanctuary in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and place 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.
Have them clean the ashes from the bronze altar and 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 put on it all the equipment used in the services on the altar: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. Spread over it a fine leather covering and then insert its carrying 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.
Once Aaron and his sons have finished covering these holy things and all the equipment connected with them, when the camp is ready to move, the priests of the Kohath family are to come and carry them. But they are forbidden to touch anything holy, otherwise they'll die. These are their responsibilities for moving 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, is to supervise obtaining olive oil for the lamps, the aromatic incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He is in charge of the whole Tabernacle and everything in it—all the holy things and equipment.”
17 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
18 “Unu ekwekwala ka agbụrụ Kohat bụrụ ndị e bipụrụ site nʼebo Livayị.
“Make sure the families of Kohath are not wiped out from 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.
This is what you have to do so that they'll live and won't die by getting too close to something holy. Aaron and his sons must go in and tell each of them what they have to do and what they have to carry.
20 Ma ndị Kohat ekwesighị ịbanye ilekwasị ihe nsọ ndị ahụ anya, ka ha ghara ịnwụ.”
But they must not to go in and look at the things that are most holy, even for just a moment, otherwise they'll die.”

All that they do is to be under the supervision of Aaron and his sons—all their work and carrying assignments. You are to tell them all they are required to carry.
