Nomery 4
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
2 Alao isa ny taranak’ i Kehata eo amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
“Conduct a census of the male descendants of Kohath from 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.
Count all the men who are thirty to fifty years old. These men must join the company to serve 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:
The descendants of Kohath must take care of the most holy things reserved for me in the tent of meeting.
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 prepares to move forward, Aaron and his sons must go into the tent, take down the curtain that separates the most holy place from the holy place 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 must cover the ark with sea cow skins. They must spread a blue cloth over it. They must insert the poles to carry it.
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.
They are to spread a blue cloth on the table of the bread of the presence. On it they must put the dishes, spoons, bowls, and jars for pouring. Bread must always continue to be on the table.
8 Dia hovelarany lamba jaky eo amboniny izy, ka hosaronany amin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy izany; dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
They must cover them with a scarlet cloth and again with sea cow skins. They must insert poles to carry the table.
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 must take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand, along with its lamps, tongs, trays, and all the jars of oil for the lamps.
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 must put the lampstand and all its accessories into a covering of sea cow skins, and they must put it on a carrying frame.
11 Ary hamelatra lamba manga eo ambonin’ ny alitara volamena izy, dia hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, ary hataony eo aminy ny baony;
They must spread a cloth of blue on the gold altar. They must cover it with a covering of sea cow skins, and then insert the carrying 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 must take all the equipment for the work in the holy place and wrap it in a blue cloth. They must cover it with sea cow skins and put the equipment on the carrying frame.
13 Dia hanaisotra ny lavenona amin’ ny alitara izy ka hamelatra lamba volomparasy eo amboniny.
They must remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on the altar.
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 must put on the carrying frame all the equipment that they use in the work of the altar. These objects are the firepans, forks, shovels, bowls, and all the other equipment for the altar. They must cover the altar with sea cow skins and then insert the carrying 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 completely covered the holy place and all its equipment, and when the camp moves forward, then the descendants of Kohath must come to carry the holy place. If they touch the holy instruments, they must die. This is the work of the descendants of Kohath, to carry the furnishings 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.
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest oversees the care of the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil. He oversees the care of the entire tabernacle and all that is in it, the holy place and its equipment.”
17 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
18 Ataovy izay tsy hahafongotra ny fokon’ ny Kehatita tsy ho amin’ ny Levita:
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed 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;
Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
20 fa izy dia tsy hiditra hijery ny fitoerana masìna, na dia indray mipi-maso akory aza, fandrao maty.
they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
21 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
22 Alao isa koa ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony avy;
“Conduct a census of the descendants of Gershon also, by their ancestor's families and by their 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.
Count those who are thirty years old to fifty years old. Count all of them who will join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
24 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita hanompoany sy hitondrany entana:
This is the work of the clans of the Gershonites, when they serve and what they carry.
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 must carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, its covering, the covering of sea cow skin that is on it, and 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.
They must carry the curtains of the court, the curtain for the doorway of the court's gate, which is near the tabernacle and near the altar, their ropes, and all the instruments for their service. Whatever should be done with these things, they must do it.
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 and his sons must direct all the service of the descendants of the Gershonites, in everything that they transport, and in all their service. You must assign them to all their 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 clans of the descendants of the Gershonites for the tent of meeting. Ithamar son of Aaron the priest must lead them in their service.
29 Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, dia araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany no handaminanao azy;
You must count the descendants of Merari by their clans, and order them by their ancestor's 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 years old and older up to fifty years old. Count everyone who is going to join the company and serve in 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 their responsibility and their work in all their service for the tent of meeting. They must care for the framing of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts, and 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.
along with the posts of the courtyard around the tabernacle, their sockets, pegs, and their ropes, with all their hardware. List by name the articles they must 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 clans of the descendants of Merari, what they are to do for 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,
Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the descendants of the Kohathites by the clans of their ancestor's 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.
They counted them from thirty years old and older up to fifty years old. They counted everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
36 Ary izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia dimam-polo amby fiton-jato sy roa arivo.
They counted 2,750 men by their clans.
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.
Moses and Aaron counted all the men in the clans and families of the Kohathites who serve in the tent of meeting. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
38 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
The descendants of Gershon were counted in their clans, by their ancestor's families,
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 to fifty years old, everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
40 izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany, dia telo-polo amby enin-jato sy roa arivo.
All the men, counted by their clans and their ancestor's families, numbered 2,630.
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.
Moses and Aaron counted the clans of the descendants of Gershon who would serve in the tent of meeting. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
42 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
The descendants of Merari were counted in their clans by their ancestor's families,
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 to fifty years old, everyone who would join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
44 izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia roan-jato sy telo arivo;
All the men, counted by their clans and their ancestor's families, numbered 3,200.
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.
Moses and Aaron counted all these men, the descendants of Merari. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
46 Ny tontalin’ ny taranak’ i Levy izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin’ ny lohan’ ny Isiraely, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel counted all the Levites by their clans in their ancestral families
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 to fifty years old. They counted everyone who would do work in the tabernacle, and who would carry and care for the items in the tent of meeting.
48 izay nalamina taminy dia valo-polo amby diman-jato sy valo arivo.
They counted 8,580 men.
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.
At Yahweh's command, Moses counted each man, keeping count of each by the type of work he was assigned to do. He counted each man by the kind of responsibility he would bear. In doing this, they obeyed what Yahweh had commanded them to do through Moses.
