1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 Volilio o ana’ i Kehàte boak’ amo nte-Levioo, amo hasavereña’eo naho amo anjomban-droae’eo,
“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3 ze telopolo taoñe pake limampolo taoñe; ze hene hizilik’ amy firimboñañey, hitoloñe amy kibohom-pamantañañey.
men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4 Zao ty ho fitoloña’ o ana’ i Kehàteo amy kibohom-pamantañañeio amo miava-do’eo:
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Naho hionjoñe i tobey, le homb’eo t’i Aharone naho o ana’eo hanjetse i lamba fañefetsey, hanaroña’e i vatam-pañinay
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 naho ho rakofa’ iareo holin-trozofisoitse naho ho lamahe’ iereo lamba manga ki’e ty ambone’e vaho hatsorofo’ iareo ama’e o bao’eo.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 Ho lamahe’ iereo lamba manga i rairai’ i mofom-piatrefañey, le hapoke ama’e o fanakeo naho o sadròo naho o soakazoo, o fitovy fañiliñañeo; hidoñe ama’e avao i mofo tsi-modoy.
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 Hilafiha’ iareo lamba mena mañabara vaho hirakofa’ iareo holin-trozofisoitse; le hatsorofo’ iareo ama’e o bao’eo.
And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 Ho rambese’ iareo ty lamba manga hanaroñañe i fitàn-jiron-kazavàñey, naho i jiro’e rey, o fiharatan-tsokotsoko’eo, o sadrom-baen’ afo’eo, naho o fitavona-menake famahanañ’ azeo.
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 Le haholonkolo’ iereo an-kolin-trozofisoitse ie naho o harao’e iabio, vaho hasampe ambone o bao-pitarazoañeo.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 Ho lamahe’ iareo lamba manga ka i kitrely volamenay naho ho rakofañe holin-trozofisoitse vaho hatsorofotse ama’e o bao’eo.
Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 Ho rambese’ iareo ze hene harao-pitoloñañe, o fitoloña’ iareo amy miavakeio, le ho kolopofañe añate lamba manga naho ho rakofañe holi-trozofisoitse vaho hajò ambone’ o bao fitarazoañeo.
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 Haveve’ iareo añe o lavenok’ amy kitreliio vaho handamiha’ iareo lamba malo-mavo.
Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14 Hapo’ iereo ambone’e ze hene haraotse fitoloña’ iareo ama’e: o endraendrao, o fitsipokeo, o sadròo, o fitovio, naho o hene harao’ i kitreliio: le ho rakofa’ iareo holi-trozofisoitse, vaho hatsorofotse ama’e o bao’eo.
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 Aa ie nihenefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo ty fandrakofañe o fanake miavakeo naho o finga miavake iabio, naho fa hionjoñe mb’eo i tobey le homb’eo o ana-dahi’ i Kehàteo hitarazo o rahao; fe tsy ho tsapae’ iereo o raha miavakeo tsy mone hivetrake. Irezay ro enta’ o ana’ i Kehàteo an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao.
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 Nafantok’ amy Elazare ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe ty mena’ i jiroy, naho i emboke mañitsey, naho i enga-mahakama boak’ àndroy, naho i mena-pañorizañey; aze ka ty lily amy kivohoy, ze am-po’e ao iaby, naho amy toe-miavakey rekets’ o hene fana’eo.
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 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18 Asoao tsy haitoañe amo nte-Levio ty fifokoa’ o hasavereña’ o nte-Kehàteoo.
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19 Zao ty hanoe’ areo ty am’ iereo soa te ho veloñe fa tsy hivetrake naho harinea’ iareo o raha miavakeo: Homb’eo t’i Aharone naho o ana’eo vaho ho tendrè’ iareo songa ami’ty fitoroña’e naho ty kilanka’e.
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 Fe tsy hizilik’ ao o nte-Kehàteo hisamba ty fandrakofañe o raha miavakeo tsy mone hihomake.
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the LORD said to Moses,
22 volilio ka o ana’ i Geresoneo ami’ty anjomban-droae’e naho o hasavereña’eo;
“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23 ie telopolo taoñe mañambone pake limampolo taoñe ty añiaha’o, ze hizilike hitoroñe, hitoloñe amy kibohom-pamantañañey ao.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24 Zao ty fitoloña’ o hasavereña’ i Geresoneo ami’ty fitoroñañe naho fijinian-kilankañe.
This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
25 Hendese’ iereo o lamba fañefe’ i kibohom-pamantañañeio rekets’ i rako’ey, naho i rako’e holin-trozofisoitse ambone’ey, naho ty lamba fañefe’ i lalan-kibohom-pamantañañey,
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 le o lamba miradorado an-kiririsao naho o lamba fañefe’ i lalam-bein-kiririsaio, i miarikatoke i kivohoy naho i kitreliiy naho o tali’eo naho ze hene haraom-pitoloña’ iareo vaho ze raha mioza amy rezay; izay ty ho fitoroña’e.
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 Am-palie’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo ze hene fitoroña’ o ana’ i Geresoneo, amy kilanka’ iareo iabiy naho amo fitoloña’ iareo iabio, vaho hene hitendrea’ areo o fitoloña’iareoo naho o kilanka’ iareoo.
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.

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.

As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,

31 Le inao ty hafantok’ am’ iereo ho kilanka’ iareo amy fitoroña’ iareo i kibohom-pamantañañeiy: o varamba i kivohoio naho o saka’eo, o anakòre’eo naho o vave’eo
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 naho o anakòreñe miarikatoke i kiririsaio rekets’ o vave’eo, o tsato’eo naho o tali’eo naho o hene harao’eo vaho ze harao-pitoloña’e iaby, le ho tolora’o ami’ty tahina’ ondaty ty anjara kilanka’e.
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.
