Tauanga 4
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
2 Taua nga tama a Kohata, i roto i nga tama a Riwai, tenei hapu, tenei hapu o ratou, i nga whare o o ratou matua,
“Conduct a census of the male descendants of Kohath from among the Levites, by their clans and families.
3 Nga mea e toru tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, a tae noa ki nga mea e rima tekau o ratou tau, nga mea katoa e uru ana ki te mahi, ki te mea i nga mea o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
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 Ko te mahi tenei ma nga tama a Kohata i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ko nga mea tino tapu:
The descendants of Kohath must take care of the most holy things reserved for me in the tent of meeting.
5 A ka maunu te puni, me haere a Arona ki roto, ratou ko ana tama, ka tuku i te arai hipoki ki raro, a ka hipoki iho ki te aaka o te whakaaturanga:
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 Na ka maka iho te hipoki ki runga, ara nga hiako pateri, a ka uhi iho i tetahi kakahu ki runga, he mea puru katoa, ka kuhu i nga amo.
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 Me uhi ano ki te kakahu puru te tepu taro aroaro, ka whakatakoto ai i nga rihi ki runga, me nga koko, me nga peihana, me nga kapu hei ringihanga: hei runga ano hoki te taro pumau takoto ai:
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 Ka uhi ki te kakahu ngangana, ka hipoki ai ki te hiako pateri hei hipoki mo runga, ka kuhu i ona amo.
They must cover them with a scarlet cloth and again with sea cow skins. They must insert poles to carry the table.
9 Na ka mau ratou ki tetahi kakahu puru, ka hipoki ai i te turanga whakamarama, i ona rama hoki, i ona kuku, i ona oko ngarahu, i ona oko hinu katoa, i nga mea e minita ai ratou ki reira:
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 Ka hoatu ai me ona mea katoa ki roto ki te takai, hei te mea hiako pateri, ka whakaeke ai ki runga ki te amo.
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 A me uhi iho e ratou he kakahu puru ki runga ki te aata koura, ka hipoki ai ki tetahi hipoki hiako pateri, ka kuhu ai i ona amo:
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 Na ka mau ki nga mea e minita ai ratou i te wahi tapu, ka hoatu ki roto ki te kakahu puru, ka hipoki ki tetahi hipoki hiako pateri, ka whakaeke ki te amo:
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 Na ka tahi atu ratou i nga pungarehu o te aata, ka hipoki ai ki te kakahu papaura:
They must remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on the altar.
14 Me whakatakoto ano ki runga ona oko katoa e minita ai ratou ki reira, nga tahu kakara, nga marau kikokiko, nga koko pungarehu, nga peihana, nga mea katoa o te aata; ka hipoki ai ki te hipoki hiako pateri, ka kuhu ai i ona amo.
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 A ka oti i a Arona ratou ko ana tama te hipoki te wahi tapu, me nga mea katoa o te wahi tapu, ina tata te puni te maunu; ka mutu, na ka haere mai nga tama a Kohata ki te kauhoa: otiia kaua ratou e pa ki tetahi mea tapu kei mate ratou. Ko enei ng a mea a nga tama a Kohata e mau ai o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
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 A, ko ta Ereatara, ko ta te tama a te tohunga, a Arona, e whakaaro ai, ko te hinu mo te whakamarama, ko te whakakakara reka, ko te whakahere totokore o tenei ra, o tenei ra, ko te hinu whakawahi, me te tirotiro i te tapenakara katoa, i nga mea k atoa hoki o reira, i te wahi tapu, i ona mea hoki.
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 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
18 Kei hatepea atu e koutou te iwi o nga hapu o nga Kohati i roto i nga Riwaiti:
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed from among the Levites.
19 Engari ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai ki a ratou, kia ora ai ratou, kei mate, ina whakatata ki nga mea tino tapu: me haere a Arona ratou ko ana tama ki roto, ka whakarite ai i a ratou ki tana mahi, ki tana mahi, ki tana amohanga, ki tana amohanga:
Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
20 Otiia kaua ratou e haere ki roto ki te matakitaki i te wahi tapu ahakoa he wa poto, kei mate ratou.
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 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
22 Taua hoki nga tama a Kerehona, i nga whare o o ratou matua, i o ratou hapu:
“Conduct a census of the descendants of Gershon also, by their ancestor's families and by their clans.
23 Ko nga mea e toru tekau, he maha atu ranei nga tau, a tae noa ki nga mea e rima tekau o ratou tau, au e tatau ai; ko nga mea katoa hoki e uru ana ki te mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
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 Ko te mahi tenei ma nga hapu o nga Kerehoni, ko te mahi, ko te amo:
This is the work of the clans of the Gershonites, when they serve and what they carry.
25 Ma ratou hoki e amo nga pa o te tapenakara, te tapenakara hoki o te whakaminenga, tona hipoki, me te hipoki hiako pateri i waho ake, me te pa o te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga;
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 Me nga pa o te marae, me te pa mo te whatitoka o te kuwaha o te marae, o tera i te tapenakara, i te aata a tawhio noa, me nga aho, me nga mea katoa mo te mahinga o aua mea, me nga mea katoa i hanga mo aua mea: ko ta ratou mahi tena.
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 Kei a Arona ratou ko ana tama te tikanga mo nga mahi katoa a nga tama a nga Kerehoni, mo a ratou amohanga katoa, mo a ratou mahi katoa: ma koutou hoki e whakarite ki a ratou te tikanga mo nga mea katoa e amo ai ratou.
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 Ko te mahi tenei ma nga hapu o nga tama a Kerehona i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a, ko nga tikanga ma ratou kei a Itamara tama a te tohunga, a Arona.
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 Ko nga tama a Merari, me tatau ratou e koe i o ratou hapu, i nga whare o o ratou matua;
You must count the descendants of Merari by their clans, and order them by their ancestor's families,
30 Ko nga mea e toru tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, a tae noa ki nga mea e rima tekau o ratou tau, au e tatau ai, ko nga tangata katoa e uru ana ki te mahi, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
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 A ko te tikanga ano tenei mo ta ratou e amo ai, i a ratou mahinga katoa i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; ko nga papa o te tapenakara, me ona kaho, me ona pou, me ona turanga pou;
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 Me nga pou o te marae a tawhio noa, me nga turanga pou, me nga titi, me nga aho, me nga mea katoa o aua mea, me nga mea katoa o ena mahinga: me tatau a ingoa nga mea kei a ratou nei te tikanga mo te amo.
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 Ko te mahi tenei a nga hapu o nga tama a Merari, i a ratou mahinga katoa i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i raro i te ringa o Itamara tama a te tohunga, a Arona.
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.”
