Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
4 Zao ty ho fitoloña’ o ana’ i Kehàteo amy kibohom-pamantañañeio amo miava-do’eo:

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 you move camp, Aaron and his sons will go in, take down the veil, and place it over the Ark of the Testimony.
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.
On top of this they are to put a fine leather covering, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and then insert its carrying 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.
Have them spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence as well, and put the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and jugs for the drink offering. The current bread offering is to stay on it.
8 Hilafiha’ iareo lamba mena mañabara vaho hirakofa’ iareo holin-trozofisoitse; le hatsorofo’ iareo ama’e o bao’eo.
Over everything they are to spread a crimson cloth, next a fine leather covering, and then insert its carrying 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.
Using a blue cloth, they are to cover the lampstand of light, together with its lamps, wick tongs, and trays, as well as the jars of olive oil used to fill them.

They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with fine leather, and then insert its carrying 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 place all the utensils used for the service in the sanctuary in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and place them on the carrying frame.
13 Haveve’ iareo añe o lavenok’ amy kitreliio vaho handamiha’ iareo lamba malo-mavo.
Have them clean the ashes from the bronze altar and 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 put on it all the equipment used in the services on the altar: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. Spread over it a fine leather covering and then insert its carrying 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.
Once Aaron and his sons have finished covering these holy things and all the equipment connected with them, when the camp is ready to move, the priests of the Kohath family are to come and carry them. But they are forbidden to touch anything holy, otherwise they'll die. These are their responsibilities for moving 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, is to supervise obtaining olive oil for the lamps, the aromatic incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He is in charge of the whole Tabernacle and everything in it—all the holy things and equipment.”
17 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
18 Asoao tsy haitoañe amo nte-Levio ty fifokoa’ o hasavereña’ o nte-Kehàteoo.
“Make sure the families of Kohath are not wiped out from 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.
This is what you have to do so that they'll live and won't die by getting too close to something holy. Aaron and his sons must go in and tell each of them what they have to do and what they have to carry.
20 Fe tsy hizilik’ ao o nte-Kehàteo hisamba ty fandrakofañe o raha miavakeo tsy mone hihomake.
But they must not to go in and look at the things that are most holy, even for just a moment, otherwise they'll die.”
