"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;
50 Okopesa na bato ya libota ya Levi mokumba ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpe ya bisalelo na yango nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaka kati na Mongombo. Bango bakozwa mokumba ya komemaka yango elongo na bisalelo na yango mpe bakovanda zingazinga na yango.
but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall camp around it.
51 Tango nyonso Mongombo ekolongwa na esika moko mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, Balevi nde bakolongola yango; mpe tango ekotelema, bango mpe kaka nde bakotelemisa yango. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pembeni na yango asengeli kokufa.
When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.

The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.
53 Kasi bato ya libota ya Levi bakotelemisa bandako na bango ya kapo zingazinga ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpo ete kanda makasi ya Yawe ekoka kokweya likolo ya lisanga ya bana ya Isalaele te. Bato ya libota ya Levi nde bakosala mosala ya kobatela Mongombo ya Litatoli. »
But the Levites shall camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."
