Amanani 4
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
2 Thathani inani lonke lamadodana kaKohathi avela phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, ngensendo zawo, ngezindlu zaboyise,
'Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
3 kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, wonke ongena enkonzweni ukwenza umsebenzi wethente lenhlangano.
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tent of meeting.
4 Lo ngumsebenzi wamadodana kaKohathi ethenteni lenhlangano: Izinto ezingcwelengcwele.
This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
5 Ekusukeni-ke kwenkamba uAroni lamadodana akhe bazakuza behlise iveyili lesembeso, basibekele umtshokotsho wobufakazi ngalo,
when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it;
6 bazabeka phezu kwawo izikhumba zikamantswane, bendlale phezu kwawo ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lonke, bafake imijabo yawo.
and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.
7 Laphezu kwetafula lokubukisa bazakwendlala ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, babeke phezu kwalo imiganu, lenkezo zempepha, lezitsha, lenkezo zomnikelo wokunathwayo; lesinkwa esihlezi sikhona sizakuba phezu kwalo.
And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the pans, and the bowls, and the jars wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall remain thereon.
8 Laphezu kwalezizinto bazakwendlala ilembu elibomvu, balembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.
9 Bazathatha-ke ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bembese uluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezibane zalo, lendlawu zalo, lemiganu yalo yomlotha, lezitsha zonke zalo zamafutha abasebenza ngazo kulo.
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it.
10 Njalo bazalufaka kanye lezinto zalo zonke esembesweni sezikhumba zikamantswane, bakugaxe egodweni.
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 Laphezu kwelathi legolide bazakwendlala ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, balembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.
12 Njalo bazathatha yonke impahla yenkonzo, abakhonza ngayo endlini engcwele, bayifake elenjini eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bayembese ngesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bayigaxe egodweni.
And they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on a bar.
13 Njalo bazasusa umlotha elathini, bendlale phezu kwalo ilembu eliyibubende,
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon.
14 babeke phezu kwalo zonke izinto zalo abakhonza ngazo kulo, izitsha zokuthwala umlilo, amafologwe enyama, lamafotsholo, lemiganu yokufafaza, zonke izinto zelathi; bendlale phezu kwalo isembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane, bafake imijabo yalo.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and set the staves thereof.
15 Lapho uAroni lamadodana akhe sebeqedile ukwembesa indlu engcwele lempahla zonke zendlu engcwele, ekususweni kwenkamba, emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohathi azakuza ukuthwala, kodwa kawayikuthinta into engcwele hlezi afe. Lezizinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohathi, ethenteni lenhlangano.
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the holy furniture, and all the holy vessels, as the camp is to set forward — after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
16 Ubongameli bukaEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi buzakuba ngamafutha esibane, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lomnikelo wokudla njalonjalo, lamafutha okugcoba; ububonisi ngethabhanekele lonke lakho konke okukilo, endlini engcwele lezitsheni zayo.
And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil: he shall have the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, whether it be the sanctuary, or the furniture thereof.'
17 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 Lingaqumi insendo zesizwe samaKohathi zisuke phakathi kwamaLevi.
'Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
19 Kodwa lokho kwenzeni kuwo, ukuze aphile angafi, ekusondeleni kwawo ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele; uAroni lamadodana akhe bazangena, bawamise lowo lalowo emsebenzini wakhe lemthwalweni wakhe;
but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden;
20 kodwa kawayikungena ukubona lapho izinto ezingcwele zigoqelwa, hlezi afe.
but they shall not go in to see the holy things as they are being covered, lest they die.'
21 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses saying:
22 Thatha inani lonke lamadodana kaGerishoni lawo, ngezindlu zaboyise, ngensendo zawo,
'Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;
23 kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu uzababala; wonke ongena ukukhonza inkonzo, ukuthi enze umsebenzi ethenteni lenhlangano.
from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them: all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do service in the tent of meeting.
24 Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamaGerishoni ukukhonza lemthwalweni;
This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
25 bazathwala-ke amakhetheni ethabhanekele, lethente lenhlangano, isembeso salo, lesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane eziphezu kwalo phezulu, lesilenge somnyango wethente lenhlangano,
they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting;
26 lamakhetheni eguma, lesilenge somnyango wesango leguma eliseduze lethabhanekele njalo eduze lelathi inhlangothi zonke, lentambo zazo, lempahla yonke yenkonzo yabo, lakho konke okwenzelwe bona; basebenze-ke.
and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatsoever there may be to do with them, therein shall they serve.
27 Njengokulaya kukaAroni lamadodana akhe uzakuba njalo umsebenzi wonke wamadodana amaGerishoni emthwalweni wabo wonke lenkonzweni yabo yonke. Uzawamisa ukugcina wonke umthwalo wabo.
At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden.
28 Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamadodana amaGerishoni ethenteni lenhlangano; ukugcinwa kwawo kuzakuba ngaphansi kwesandla sikaIthamari indodana kaAroni umpristi.
This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting; and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Amadodana kaMerari uzawabala ngensendo zawo ngezindlu zaboyise,
As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers' houses;
30 kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu uzababala, wonke ongena enkonzweni, ukusebenza umsebenzi wethente lenhlangano.
from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.
31 Lalokhu yikugcinwa komthwalo wabo, njengokomsebenzi wabo wonke ethenteni lenhlangano: Amapulanka ethabhanekele, lemithando yalo, lensika zalo, lezisekelo zalo,
And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof;
32 lensika zeguma inhlangothi zonke, lezisekelo zazo, lezikhonkwane zazo, lezintambo zazo, lempahla yazo yonke, lomsebenzi wazo wonke. Njalo lizaziqamba ngamabizo impahla abafanele ukuzithwala.
and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, even all their appurtenance, and all that pertaineth to their service; and by name ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden.
33 Lo ngumsebenzi wensendo zamadodana kaMerari, ngokomsebenzi wonke wawo ethenteni lenhlangano, ngaphansi kwesandla sikaIthamari indodana kaAroni umpristi.
This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.'
