Hesabu 4
1 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni. Akasema,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
2 Fanya sensa ya uzao waume wa Kohathi kutoka kwa Walawi, kwa kufuata jamaa na na familia za koo.
Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families.
3 Uwahesabu wanaume ambao wana umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini. Hawa wataungana na kundi linalotumika kutoa huduma kwenye hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old, of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 Uzao wa Kohathi watalinda vile vitu vitakatifu zaidi vilivyohifadhiwa kwa ajili yangu katika hema ya kukutania.
This is the service of the sons of Caath:
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.
When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of the testimony in it,
6 Watatandika juu yake nguo za rangi ya samawi. Watachomeka hiyo miti ya kubebea.
And shall cover it again with a cover of violet skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the bars.
7 Watatandika nguo ya rangi ya samawi kwenye meza ya mikate ya wonyesho. Juu yake wataweka sahani, vijiko, mabakuli na vikombe vya kumiminia. Mikate itakuwepo daima mezani.
They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
8 Wataifunika na nguo ya rangi nyekundu na ngozi za pomboo. na kuweka miti ya kubebea.
And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet, which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
9 Watachukua nguo ya rangi ya samawi na kukifunika kinara, pamoja na taa zake, na koleo zake, na sahani zake na vikombe vyake vya kuwekea mafuta ya taa.
They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps:
10 Wataweka kinara na vifaa vyake vikiwa vimefunikwa na ngozi ya pomboo, na wataweka kwenye miti ya kukibebea.
And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins and put in the bars.
11 Watafunika na nguo ya samawi katika madhabau ya dhahabu. Wataifunika na ngozi za pomboo, na kuweka ile miti ya kubebea.
And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
12 Watavichukua vyombo vyote vya kazi takatifu na kuvizonga kwenye hiyo nguo ya rangi ya samawi. Watavifunika na ngozi za pomboo na kuviweka hivyo vyombo kwenye miti ya kubebea.
All the vessels wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
13 Watayaondoa majivu kwenye madhabahu na kutandika nguo ya rangi ya zambarau juu yake.
They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes, and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
14 Watavieka kwenye miti ya kubebea vyombo vyote wanavyovitumia kwa kazi ya madhabahuni. Vyombo hivi ni vyetezo, majembe, mabakuli na vitu vingine vya madhabahuni. Wataifuniks madhabahu na ngozi za pomboo na kuweka ile miti ya kubebea.
And shall put it with all the vessels that they use in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks, pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
15 Wakati Haruni na wanawe walipokuwa wamekamilisha kupafunika mahali patakatifu na vyombo vyote, na kambi itakapoanza kuendelea mbele, ndipo wana wa Kohathi watakapokuja kubeba vitu vya mahali patakatifu. 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 up the sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
16 Eliazari mwana wa Haruni kuhani atalinda na kusimamia mafuta ya taa, ubani mzuri, sadaka za mara kwa mara na mafuta ya upako. Atasimamia ulinzi wa hema lote na vyote vilivyomo, mahali patakatifu na vyombo vyake.”
And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels that are in the sanctuary.
17 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni. Akasema,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18 Usiruhusu kabila la Wakohathi kuondolewa kati ya Walawi.
Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:
19 Walinde waishi ili wasije wakafa, kwa kufanya hivi. Wanapokuwa wanasogelea
But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man is 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 not others by any curiosity see the things that are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.
21 BWANA akanena na Musa tena, Akasema, “Fanya sensa kwa wana Gerishoni pia, kwa kufuata familia za mababu zao, koo zao.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
22 Uwahesabu wale wenye umri wa mika thelathini hadi miaka hamsini.
Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their houses and families and kindreds.
23 Uwahesabu wote ili waje kuungana na wale wanaotumika katika hema ya kukutania.
From thirty Sears old and upward, unto fifty years old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
24 Hii ndiyo itakuwa kazi ya koo za Gerishoni, wanapotumikia na wanachobeba.
This is the office of the family of the Gersonites:
25 Watabeba pazia la masikani, hema la kukutania, na vifunikio vyake, vifuniko vya ngozi ya pomboo ambvyo viko juu yake, na pazia kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,
26 Watabeba pazia la ua, pazia la kwenye mlango wa ua, ambao uko karibu na maskani karibu na madhabahu, kamba zake na vifaa vyote vya utumishi wake. Chochote kinachotakiwa kufanywa kutokana na vitu hivi, wao ndio watakaofanya.
The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords and the vessels of the ministry,
27 Haruni na wanawe ndio watakaongoza utumishi wa uzao wa Wagerishoni, kwa vitu vyote vile vya kusafirisha, na katika utumishi wao wote. Lazima uwagawie majukumu yao yote.
The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.
28 Huu ndio utumishi wa koo za uzao wa wana wa Wagerishoni katka hema ya kukutania. Ithamari mwana wa Haruni kuhani atawaongoza katika utumishi.
This is the service of the family of the Gersonites in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Utawahesabu uzao wa Merari kwa koo zao, na uwapange katika familia za mabau zao,
Thou shalt reckon up the sons of Merari also by the families and houses of their fathers,
30 kuanzia wenye umri wa miaka thelatini hadi miaka hamsini. Umuhesabu kila atakayeungana na kundi lenye utumishi katika hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the office of their ministry, and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
31 Huu ndio wajibu na kazi yao katika utumishi wao kwenye hema ya kukutania. Watazilinda mbao za maskani, mataluma yake, nguzo na makalishio yake,
These are their burdens: They shall carry the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof, the pillars and their sockets,
32 pamoja na nguzo za ua zinazozunguka masikani, makalishio yake, vigingi na kamba zake, na vifaa vinginevya ujenzi. Waorodheshe kwa majina na majukumu yao.
The pillars also of the court round about, with their sockets and pins and cords. They shall receive by account all the vessels and furniture, and so shall carry them.
33 Huu ndio utumishi wa koo za uzao wa Merari, ambao wanatakiwa kufanya katika hema ya kukutania, chini ya uongozi wa Ithmari mwana wa Haruni kuhani.”
This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry in the tabernacle of the covenant: and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 Musa na Haruni na viongozi wa watu waliwahesabu wana wa uzao wa Wakohathi kwa kufuata koo za familia za mababu zao.
So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their fathers,
35 Waliwahesabu wale wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini. Walimhesabu kila mmoja aliyepaswa kuungana na kundi linalotoa huduma ya utumishi kwenye hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
36 Waliwahesabu wanaume 2, 750 kwa kufuata koo zao.
And they were found two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 Musa na Haruni waliwahesabu wanaume wote kutoka koo na familia za Wakohathi ambao hutumika kwenye hema ya kukutania. Walifanya hivi kwa kumtii BWANA aliyewaagiza kupitia kwa Musa.
This is the number of the people of Caath that go in to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 Uzao wa Gerishoni walihesabiwa kufuata koo na familia za mababu zao,
The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
39 kuanzia umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini, kwa kila mmoja aliyetakiwa kuungana na watu wanaotoa huduma kwenye hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
40 Wanaume wote waliohesabiwa kufuata koo na familia za mababu zao walikuwa 2, 630.
And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41 Musa na Haruni walizihesabu koo za uzao wa Gerishoni ambao watatumika kwenye hema ya kukutania. Walifanya hivi ili kutii ambacho BWANA aliwaamuru kufanya kuptia kwa Musa.
This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
42 Uzao wa Merari walihesabiwa kwa koo kupitia familia za mababu zao,
The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
43 kuanzia wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini, kila anayepaswa kuungana na watu wanaotumika kwenye hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to fulfill the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
44 Wanaume wote waliohesabiwa kupitia koo za familia za mababu zao walikuwa 3. 200.
And they were found three thousand two hundred.
45 Musa na Haruni waliwahesabu wanaume hawa, uzao wa Merari. Kw kufanya hivi walitii amri ya BWANA aliyowaaagiza kufanya kupitia kwa Musa.
This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 Kwa hiyo Musa na Haruni na viongozi wa Israeli waliwahesabu Walawi wote kw kufuata koo na familia za mababu zao
All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
47 kuanzia wenye umri wa miaka thelathini hadi miaka hamsini. walimhesabu kila aliyepaswa kufanya kazi kwenye masikani, na kila aliyepaswa kubeba na kulinda vitu vya kwenye hema ya kukutania.
From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
48 Waliwahesabu wanaume 8, 580.
Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 Kwa agizo la BWANA, Musa alimhesabu kila mwanamume na kutunza kumbukumbu ya kazi ambayo kila mmoja anaweza kufanya. Kwa hivyo, walitii kile ambacho BWANA alikuwa amewaagiza kufanya kupitia kwa Musa.
Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him.
