Ebyo bye bintu eby’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu batabani ba Kokasi bye baneetikkanga.
“When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. The sons of Kohath shall carry these things belonging to the Tent of Meeting.
16 “Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, y’anaabeeranga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’amafuta g’ettaala ag’omuzeeyituuni, n’obubaane obwakaloosa, n’ekiweebwayo eky’okulaga eky’emmere ey’empeke, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ag’okwawula. Era y’anaalabiriranga Eweema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, n’awatukuvu ne byonna ebikozesezebwamu.”
“The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”
17 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
18 “Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi.
“Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
19 Ekyo munaakibakoleranga, bwe batyo bwe banaasembereranga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo balemenga okufa, naye basigalenga nga balamu. Alooni ne batabani be banaayingiranga mu watukuvu ne bagabira buli Mukokasi omulimu gwe n’ebyo by’aneetikkanga.
but do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone to his service and to his burden;
20 Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”
but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”

25 Baneetikkanga entimbe ez’omu Weema ya Mukama, y’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ebigibikkako, n’amaliba aga lukwata agabikkibwa kungulu kwayo, n’entimbe ez’omu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
