Nomery 4
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
2 Alao isa ny taranak’ i Kehata eo amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
“Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi [United with], by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
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.
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service, to do the work in 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 is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, 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;
When the camp moves forward, Aaron [Light-bringer] shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, 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.
and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in 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.
“On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
8 Dia hovelarany lamba jaky eo amboniny izy, ka hosaronany amin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy izany; dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its 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 shall take a blue cloth, and cover the menorah ·lamp· of the light, and its menorah ·lamp· candles, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all its oil utensils, with which they minister to 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.
They shall put it and all its utensils within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.
11 Ary hamelatra lamba manga eo ambonin’ ny alitara volamena izy, dia hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, ary hataony eo aminy ny baony;
“On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its 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 shall take all the utensils of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
13 Dia hanaisotra ny lavenona amin’ ny alitara izy ka hamelatra lamba volomparasy eo amboniny.
“They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on 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.
They shall put on it all its utensils, with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its 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 [Light-bringer] 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. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in 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.
“The duty of Eleazar [Help of God] the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] 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 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
18 Ataovy izay tsy hahafongotra ny fokon’ ny Kehatita tsy ho amin’ ny Levita:
“Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites [Descendants of United with];
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;
but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;
20 fa izy dia tsy hiditra hijery ny fitoerana masìna, na dia indray mipi-maso akory aza, fandrao maty.
but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
21 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
22 Alao isa koa ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony avy;
“Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
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.
you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
24 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita hanompoany sy hitondrany entana:
“This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
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 shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it, and the screen for the door of 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.
and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.
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.
Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons shall supervise all the work of the sons of the Gershonites, transporting loads and serving, and you shall assign them who is to do what job and its responsibilities.
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 families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] 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 shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
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.
you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who enters on the service, to do 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 of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
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 pillars of the court around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name you shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden.
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 families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest.”
34 Ary Mosesy sy Arona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana nandamina ny taranaky ny Kehatita, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany avy,
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] and the princes of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
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.
from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting.
36 Ary izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia dimam-polo amby fiton-jato sy roa arivo.
Those who were counted of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty.
37 Ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny Kehatita, dia izay rehetra manao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
These are those who were counted of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] counted according to the order given by Adonai through Moses [Drawn out].
38 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
Those who were counted of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
39 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra amin’ ny antokony hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana
from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting,
40 izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany, dia telo-polo amby enin-jato sy roa arivo.
even those who were counted of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty.
41 Ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Gersona, izay rehetra manao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.
These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] counted according to the order given by Adonai.
42 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
Those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
43 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,
from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting,
44 izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia roan-jato sy telo arivo;
even those who were counted of them by their families, were three thousand two hundred.
45 ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] counted according to the order given by Adonai through Moses [Drawn out].
46 Ny tontalin’ ny taranak’ i Levy izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin’ ny lohan’ ny Isiraely, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
All those who were counted of the Levites [Descendants of United with], whom Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] and the princes of Israel [God prevails] counted, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
47 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra hanao raharaha amin’ ny fanompoana sy ny fitondrana entana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,
48 izay nalamina taminy dia valo-polo amby diman-jato sy valo arivo.
even those who were counted of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty.
49 Araka ny didin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy no nandaminany azy samy ho amin’ ny fanompoany avy sy ny anjara-entany avy ary ny zavatra nalamina araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
According to the words Adonai enjoined, they were counted by Moses [Drawn out], everyone according to his service, and according to his burden. Thus were they counted by him, as Adonai ordered Moses [Drawn out].
