This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
5 Wakati kambi inapojiandaa kusonga mbele, Haruni na wanawe lazima waende hemani, kulishusha pazia linalotenganisha mahali patakatifu na kulifunika sanduku la ushuhuda kwa pazia hilo. Watalifunika hilo sanduku kwa ngozi za pomboo.

Kama watagusa vyombo vitakatifu, lazima watakufa. Hii ni kazi ya wana wa uzao wa Kohathi, kubeba mapambo ya hema ya kukutania.
And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped the Sanctuary and its vessels at the dismantling of the camp, then the sons of Kohath shall enter, so as to carry what has been wrapped.

“Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
19 Walinde waishi ili wasije wakafa, kwa kufanya hivi. Wanapokuwa wanasogelea
But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall enter, and they shall assign the work of each one, and they shall determine what each one ought to carry.
20 wasije wakaingia ndani ili kuona eneo takatifu hata kwa kitambo, vinginevyo watakufa. Bali Haruni na wanawe wanaweza kuingia, ndipo Haruni na Wanawe watakapowapangia Wakohathi kazi maalumu ya kufanya, kwa kila mmoj.”
Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
