Hesabu 4
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Wahesabu Wakohathi walio sehemu ya Walawi kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
3 Wahesabu wanaume wote wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini wanaokuja kutumika katika kazi ya Hema la Kukutania.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
4 “Hii ndiyo kazi ya Wakohathi katika Hema la Kukutania: Watatunza vitu vilivyo vitakatifu sana.
And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.
5 Wakati kambi inapohamishwa, Aroni na wanawe wataingia ndani na kushusha lile pazia la kuzuilia na kufunika nalo Sanduku la Ushuhuda.
When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;
6 Kisha watafunika juu yake na ngozi za pomboo, na kutandaza juu yake kitambaa cha rangi ya buluu iliyokolea na kuingiza mipiko mahali pake.
And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.
7 “Juu ya meza ya mikate ya Wonyesho watatandaza kitambaa cha buluu na waweke sahani juu yake, masinia, bakuli na magudulia kwa ajili ya sadaka za kinywaji; mkate ule ambao upo hapa daima utabaki juu yake.
And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;
8 Juu ya hivyo vitu watatandaza kitambaa chekundu na kufunika kwa ngozi za pomboo na kuweka mipiko yake mahali pake.
And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.
9 “Watachukua kitambaa cha buluu na kufunika kinara cha taa kilicho kwa ajili ya nuru, pamoja na taa zake, mikasi yake, sinia zake, magudulia yake yote yaliyotumika kuwekea mafuta.
And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:
10 Kisha watakisokotea pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote katika ngozi za pomboo na kukiweka kwenye jukwaa lake.
All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame.
11 “Juu ya madhabahu ya dhahabu watatandaza kitambaa cha buluu na kukifunika kwa ngozi za pomboo na kuweka mipiko yake mahali pake.
On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.
12 “Watavichukua vyombo vyote vinavyotumika kuhudumia mahali patakatifu, watavisokotea kwenye kitambaa cha buluu na kufunika kwa ngozi za pomboo, na kuviweka juu ya miti ya kuchukulia.
All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.
13 “Wataondoa majivu kutoka madhabahu ya shaba na kutandaza kitambaa cha zambarau juu yake.
And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;
14 Kisha wataweka vyombo vyote juu yake vinavyotumika kwa kuhudumia madhabahuni pamoja na vyombo vya kutolea moto, nyuma, miiko na mabakuli ya kunyunyizia. Juu yake watatandaza ngozi za pomboo ya kufunika, na kuweka mipiko mahali pake.
Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.
15 “Baada ya Aroni na wanawe kumaliza kazi ya kufunika samani takatifu na vyombo vyake vyote, watu watakapokuwa tayari kungʼoa kambi, Wakohathi watakuja kufanya kazi ya kubeba. Lakini wasije wakagusa vitu vitakatifu la sivyo watakufa. Wakohathi ndio watakaobeba vile vitu vilivyomo katika Hema la Kukutania.
And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.
16 “Eleazari mwana wa Aroni, kuhani, ndiye atakayesimamia mafuta kwa ajili ya taa, uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, sadaka za kila siku za nafaka na mafuta ya upako. Ndiye atakayekuwa msimamizi wa maskani yote ya Bwana na kila kitu kilichomo ndani mwake pamoja na samani takatifu na vyombo vyake.”
And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.
17 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
18 “Hakikisheni kwamba koo za kabila la Wakohathi hawatengwi kutoka Walawi.
Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;
19 Ili wapate kuishi wala wasife wanapokaribia vitu vitakatifu sana, uwafanyie hivi: Aroni na wanawe watakwenda mahali patakatifu na kumgawia kila mtu kazi yake, na kwamba ni nini atakachochukua.
But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;
20 Lakini Wakohathi hawaruhusiwi kuingia ndani ili kuangalia vitu vitakatifu, hata kwa kitambo kidogo, la sivyo watakufa.”
But they themselves are not to go in to see the holy place, even for a minute, for fear of death.
21 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
22 “Wahesabu pia Wagershoni kwa jamaa zao na koo zao.
Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
23 Wahesabu wanaume wote wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao huja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
24 “Hii ndiyo huduma ya koo za Wagershoni wakati wanapofanya kazi na kubeba mizigo.
This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.
25 Watabeba mapazia ya maskani. Hema la Kukutania, kifuniko chake na kifuniko cha nje cha ngozi za pomboo, mapazia ya maingilio ya Hema la Kukutania,
They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;
26 mapazia ya ua unaozunguka Maskani na madhabahu, pazia la maingilio, kamba na vifaa vyote vinavyotumika katika huduma yake. Wagershoni watafanya yote yatakiwayo kufanyika na vitu hivi.
And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.
27 Utumishi wao wote ukiwa ni kuchukua au wa kufanya kazi nyingine, utafanyika chini ya maelekezo ya Aroni na wanawe. Mtawapangia kama wajibu wao yote watakayoyafanya.
From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.
28 Hii ndiyo huduma ya koo za Wagershoni katika Hema la Kukutania. Wajibu wao utakuwa chini ya maelekezo ya Ithamari mwana wa kuhani Aroni.
This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Wahesabu Wamerari kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
30 Wahesabu wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao watakuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania.
Every one from thirty to fifty years old who is able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
31 Huu ndio wajibu wao wanapofanya huduma katika Hema la Kukutania: kubeba miimo ya Maskani, mataruma yake, nguzo na vitako,
And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;
32 nguzo za ua unaozunguka pamoja na vitako vyake, vigingi vya hema, kamba, vifaa vyake vyote na kila kitu kinachohusiana na matumizi yake. Kila mtu mpangie vitu maalum vya kubeba.
And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.
33 Huu ndio utumishi wa koo za Merari kama watakavyofanya kazi katika Hema la Kukutania, chini ya maelekezo ya Ithamari mwana wa kuhani, Aroni.”
This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
34 Mose, Aroni na viongozi wa jumuiya wakawahesabu Wakohathi kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
35 Wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,
Numbering all those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting;
36 waliohesabiwa kwa koo zao, walikuwa 2,750.
And the number of all these was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
37 Hii ilikuwa ndiyo jumla ya wote wale wa koo za Wakohathi ambao walitumika katika Hema la Kukutania. Mose na Aroni waliwahesabu kufuatana na amri ya Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
38 Wagershoni walihesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
And those of the sons of Gershon who were numbered by families,
39 Watu wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,
All those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting,
40 waliohesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao, walikuwa 2,630.
Who were numbered by families in the order of their fathers' houses, were two thousand, six hundred and thirty.
41 Hii ilikuwa ndiyo jumla ya wale wa koo za Gershoni ambao walitumika katika Hema la Kukutania. Mose na Aroni waliwahesabu kufuatana na amri ya Bwana.
This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
42 Wamerari walihesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,
43 Wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,
All those from thirty to fifty years old who did the work in the Tent of meeting,
44 waliohesabiwa kwa koo zao, walikuwa 3,200.
Who were numbered by families, were three thousand, two hundred.
45 Hii ilikuwa ndiyo jumla ya wale wa koo za Wamerari. Mose na Aroni waliwahesabu kufuatia amri ya Bwana kupitia kwa Mose.
This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
46 Hivyo Mose, Aroni na viongozi wa Israeli waliwahesabu Walawi wote kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,
47 Wanaume wote wenye umri kuanzia miaka thelathini hadi hamsini waliokuja kufanya kazi ya kuhudumu na kubeba Hema la Kukutania
Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,
48 walikuwa watu 8,580.
Came to eight thousand, five hundred and eighty.
49 Kwa amri ya Bwana kupitia Mose, kila mmoja aligawiwa kazi yake na kuambiwa kitu cha kubeba. Hivyo ndivyo walivyohesabiwa kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.
