Hesabu 4
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 “Wahesabu Wakohathi walio sehemu ya Walawi kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
Take the sum of the sons of Kehath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by their divisions,
3 Wahesabu wanaume wote wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini wanaokuja kutumika katika kazi ya Hema la Kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that are fitted for the service, to do work at the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 “Hii ndiyo kazi ya Wakohathi katika Hema la Kukutania: Watatunza vitu vilivyo vitakatifu sana.
This shall be the service of the sons of Kehath at the tabernacle of the congregation: 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.
And Aaron shall come with his sons, when the camp setteth forward, and they shall take down the vail of the separation, and cover therewith the ark of the testimony;
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 they shall put over it a covering of badgers' skins, and they shall spread over all a cloth wholly of blue [woollen yarn], and they shall put in its staves.
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 over the table of the showbread shall they spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the tubes, and the staves of the covering; and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 Juu ya hivyo vitu watatandaza kitambaa chekundu na kufunika kwa ngozi za pomboo na kuweka mipiko yake mahali pake.
And they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put in its staves.
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 shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the lighting, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuff-dishes, and all the oil-vessels thereof, wherewith they minister by it:
10 Kisha watakisokotea pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote katika ngozi za pomboo na kukiweka kwenye jukwaa lake.
And they shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of badgers' skins, and they shall put it upon a barrow.
11 “Juu ya madhabahu ya dhahabu watatandaza kitambaa cha buluu na kukifunika kwa ngozi za pomboo na kuweka mipiko yake mahali pake.
And over the golden altar shall they spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put in its staves.
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.
And they shall take all the vessels of the service, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins; and they shall put them on a barrow.
13 “Wataondoa majivu kutoka madhabahu ya shaba na kutandaza kitambaa cha zambarau juu yake.
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread over it a cloth of purple;
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.
And they shall put upon it all its vessels, wherewith they minister upon it, the fire-pans, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread over it a covering of badgers' skins, and put in its staves.
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 when Aaron and his sons have thus made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward: then shall, after that, the sons of Kehath come to carry it; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die; these are the things which the sons of Kehath are to carry at the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 under the supervision of Elazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the lighting, and the incense of spices, and the daily meat-offering, and the anointing-oil; the supervision of all the tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its vessels.
17 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 “Hakikisheni kwamba koo za kabila la Wakohathi hawatengwi kutoka Walawi.
Do ye not cause the tribe of the families of the Kehathites to 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 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 Lakini Wakohathi hawaruhusiwi kuingia ndani ili kuangalia vitu vitakatifu, hata kwa kitambo kidogo, la sivyo watakufa.”
That they may not go in to see when the holy things are covered, and die.
21 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
22 “Wahesabu pia Wagershoni kwa jamaa zao na koo zao.
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, by their divisions, after their families;
23 Wahesabu wanaume wote wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao huja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that are fitted for the service, to do work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
24 “Hii ndiyo huduma ya koo za Wagershoni wakati wanapofanya kazi na kubeba mizigo.
This shall be the service of the families of the Gershunites, to serve, and to carry:
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 shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and of the tent of the congregation, its covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is over it above, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
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 of the court, and the hanging 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 vessels of their service; and all that is delivered to them shall they perform.
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.
By the order of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershunites, in all their carrying, and in all their service: and ye shall designate unto them in charge all which they have to carry.
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 service of the families of the sons of the Gershunites at the tabernacle of the congregation; their charge shall be under the supervision of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Wahesabu Wamerari kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
The sons of Merari, shalt thou number after their families, by their divisions;
30 Wahesabu wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao watakuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, even until fifty years old, shalt thou number them, every one that is fitted for the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
31 Huu ndio wajibu wao wanapofanya huduma katika Hema la Kukutania: kubeba miimo ya Maskani, mataruma yake, nguzo na vitako,
And this is what is confided to them to carry, regarding all their service at the tabernacle of the congregation: The boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
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 court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and all which belongeth thereto; and by name shall ye designate [to them] the vessels which are confided to them to carry.
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 service of the families of the sons of Merari, regarding all their service, at the tabernacle of the congregation, under the supervision of Ithamar the son of Aaron, the priest.
