Nomery 4
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 Alao isa ny taranak’ i Kehata eo amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao raharaha ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny taranak’ i Kehata ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia ny zavatra masìna indrindra:
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Ary raha hifindra ny toby, dia hiditra Arona sy ny zanany ka hampidina ny efitra lamba fanakonana; ary hasarony ny fiaran’ ny Vavolombelona’ izany;
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 ary hodi-takasy no hataony sarona eo amboniny, ka lamba volon’ ondry manga tokam-bolo no hovelariny hasarony eo ambonin’ io, dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 Ary hamelatra lamba, volon’ ondry manga eo ambonin’ ny latabatry ny mofo aseho izy, ka hataony eo ny lovia sy ny lovia kely sy ny kapoaka ary ny fitoeran-divay ho fanidinana; ary ny mofo aseho dia hataony eo amboniny.
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 Dia hovelarany lamba jaky eo amboniny izy, ka hosaronany amin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy izany; dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 Dia haka lamba volon’ ondry manga izy, ka hasarony ny fanaovan-jiro fanazavana sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony sy ny hetin-jirony sy ny fitoeran-davenon-jirony ary ny fitoeran-diloilo rehetra eo, izay anaovana ny fanompoam-pivavahana;
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 ary ireo sy ny fanaka rehetra momba azy dia hataony ao anatin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy ka hatainginy eo ambonin’ ny filanjana azy.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 Ary hamelatra lamba manga eo ambonin’ ny alitara volamena izy, dia hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, ary hataony eo aminy ny baony;
Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 dia halainy ny fanaka rehetra enti-manompo, dia izay fanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, ka hataony ao anaty lamba volon’ ondry manga ka hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, dia hatainginy eo ambonin’ ny filanjana azy.
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 Dia hanaisotra ny lavenona amin’ ny alitara izy ka hamelatra lamba volomparasy eo amboniny.
Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14 Ary hapetrany eo amboniny avokoa ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, izay fanaovana fanompoan-pivavahana eo, dia ny fitondran’ afony sy ny fitrebiny sy ny sotron’ afony ary ny loviany famafazana, dia ny fanaka rehetra momba ny alitara; ary hovelarany sarona hodi-takasy eo amboniny izy, dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
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 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny manarona ny fitoerana masìna sy ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, ka efa hifindra ny toby, dia vao izay no ho avy ny zanak’ i Kehata hitondra azy; fa tsy hikasika ny fitoerana masìna izy, fandrao maty. Izany zavatra momba ny trano-lay fihaonana izany no ho anjara entan’ ny taranak’ i Kehata.
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 Ary ny raharahan’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, dia ny diloilo hatao fanazavana sy ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona sy ny fanatitra hohanina fanao isan’ andro ary ny diloilo fanosorana, dia ny raharaha rehetra amin’ ny tabernakely sy izay rehetra ao anatiny amin’ ny fitoerana masìna sy ny fanaka momba azy.
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 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18 Ataovy izay tsy hahafongotra ny fokon’ ny Kehatita tsy ho amin’ ny Levita:
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19 fa izao no hataonareo aminy, mba ho velona izy ka tsy ho faty, raha manatona ny zavatra masìna indrindra: Arona ny ny zanany ihany no hahazo miditra ka hanendry azy rehetra samy ho amin’ ny fanompoany avy sy amin’ ny entany avy;
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 fa izy dia tsy hiditra hijery ny fitoerana masìna, na dia indray mipi-maso akory aza, fandrao maty.
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the LORD said to Moses,
22 Alao isa koa ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony avy;
“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23 ny hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona no halaminao, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita hanompoany sy hitondrany entana:
This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
25 ny ambain’ ny tabernakely sy ny trano-lay fihaonana sy ny firakony sy ny sarona hodi-takasy izay eo amboniny, ary ny varavarana lamba amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
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 ary ny fefy lamban’ ny kianja sy ny vavahady lamba amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja, izay manodidina ny tabernakely sy ny alitara, ary ny kofehiny mbamin’ ny fiasana rehetra momba azy; ary izay rehetra hatao amin’ ireo no ho fanompoany.
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 Araka ny tenin’ i Arona sy ny zanany no hanaovan’ ny Gersonita ny fanompoany amin’ ny entany rehetra sy ny fanompoany rehetra; ary hatolotrao azy ho anjara-raharahany ny zavatra rehetra izay ho entiny.
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 Izany no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary ny ho mpifehy azy amin’ izany anjara-raharahany izany dia Itamara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona.
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 Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, dia araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany no handaminanao azy;
As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
30 ny hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona no halaminao, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31 Ary izao no ho anjara-raharahany ny amin’ ny entana araka ny fanompoany rehetra ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana: ny zana-kazo amin’ ny tabernakely sy ny barany sy ny andriny sy ny faladiany,
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,
32 sy ny tsangantsangan’ ny kianja manodidina sy ny faladiany sy ny tsimany rehetra ary ny kofehy momba ny fiasana rehetra sy ny zavatra rehetra enti-manao fanompoana ao; ary araka ny anarany avy no handaminanareo ny fanaka izay anjarany ho entina.
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 Izany no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, araka ny fanompoany rehetra ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, ary Itamara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, no ho mpifehy azy.
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.”
34 Ary Mosesy sy Arona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana nandamina ny taranaky ny Kehatita, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany avy,
So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
35 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra tamin’ ny antokony hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
