But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not counted among them.

48 Fa Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

49 Ny firenen’ ny Levita ihany no aza alamina, ary aza mba alaina isa miaraka amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely;

“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

50 fa tendreo izy hitandrina ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona sy ny fanaka rehetra ary ny zavatra rehetra izay momba azy; fa izy no hitondra ny tabernakely sy ny zavatra rehetra momba azy sady hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao; ary manodidina ny tabernakely no hitobiany.

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 encamp around it.

51 Ary raha hafindra ny tabernakely, dia ny Levita no hangorona azy; ary raha haorina ny tabernakely, dia ny Levita no hanangana azy; fa raha olon-kafa no manakaiky, dia hatao maty izy.

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 stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

52 Dia hitoby ny Zanak’ Isiraely, samy eo amin’ ny tobiny avy, ary samy eo amin’ ny fanevany ary, araka ny antokony.

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 Fa ny Levita kosa hitoby manodidina ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona, mba tsy hisy fahatezerana hahatratra ny fiangonan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary ny Levita hitandrina ny anjara raharaha momba ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona.

But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

54 Dia nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataony.

Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.
