Hesabu 4
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
2 “Wahesabu Wakohathi walio sehemu ya Walawi kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
3 Wahesabu wanaume wote wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini wanaokuja kutumika katika kazi ya Hema la Kukutania.
from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
4 “Hii ndiyo kazi ya Wakohathi katika Hema la Kukutania: Watatunza vitu vilivyo vitakatifu sana.
This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —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.
So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein 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 put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
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 Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
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 wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.
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.
Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
10 Kisha watakisokotea pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote katika ngozi za pomboo na kukiweka kwenye jukwaa lake.
and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
11 “Juu ya madhabahu ya dhahabu watatandaza kitambaa cha buluu na kukifunika kwa ngozi za pomboo na kuweka mipiko yake mahali pake.
And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,
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 utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
13 “Wataondoa majivu kutoka madhabahu ya shaba na kutandaza kitambaa cha zambarau juu yake.
Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper 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 put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
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.
So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
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.”
But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
17 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 “Hakikisheni kwamba koo za kabila la Wakohathi hawatengwi kutoka Walawi.
Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of 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.
This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;
20 Lakini Wakohathi hawaruhusiwi kuingia ndani ili kuangalia vitu vitakatifu, hata kwa kitambo kidogo, la sivyo watakufa.”
but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
21 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
22 “Wahesabu pia Wagershoni kwa jamaa zao na koo zao.
reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by 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 upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
24 “Hii ndiyo huduma ya koo za Wagershoni wakati wanapofanya kazi na kubeba mizigo.
This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
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 bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance 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 of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,
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.
At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.
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, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Wahesabu Wamerari kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
30 Wahesabu wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao watakuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania.
from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in 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, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
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, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
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, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, —in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
34 Mose, Aroni na viongozi wa jumuiya wakawahesabu Wakohathi kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;
35 Wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,
from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
36 waliohesabiwa kwa koo zao, walikuwa 2,750.
and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be 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.
These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
38 Wagershoni walihesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;
39 Watu wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,
from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting:
40 waliohesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao, walikuwa 2,630.
yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, by their ancestral house, —were found to be—two thousand, and 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.
These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.
42 Wamerari walihesabiwa kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;
43 Wanaume wote kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini ambao walikuja kutumika katika Hema la Kukutania,

These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, —whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation of Moses.
46 Hivyo Mose, Aroni na viongozi wa Israeli waliwahesabu Walawi wote kwa koo zao na jamaa zao.
All they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;
47 Wanaume wote wenye umri kuanzia miaka thelathini hadi hamsini waliokuja kufanya kazi ya kuhudumu na kubeba Hema la Kukutania
from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,
48 walikuwa watu 8,580.
yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and 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 bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour and over his burden, —yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
