And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it;

6 Pea ʻe tuku ki ai ʻae kiliʻi pasia ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kofu lanumoana, pea ʻe ʻai ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.

and shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves [to it].

7 Pea ko e palepale ʻoe ma ʻoe ʻao tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae kofu lanumoana, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu louluo, pea mo e ngaahi tāpuni ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki; pea ʻe tuku ki ai ʻae ma ʻoe ʻao:

And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls, and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread shall be thereon.

And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to it].

And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-trays, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they perform its service;

15 Pea ka fakaʻosi ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻae fakapulonga ʻoe faletapu, pea mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē, pea ka hiki atu ʻae ʻapitanga; ʻe toki haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻo fata ia: kaeʻoua naʻa nau ala ki ha meʻa tapu, telia naʻa nau mate ai.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have the oversight of the oil for the light, and the fragrant incense, and the continual oblation, and the anointing oil, — the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its furniture.

17 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

18 “ʻOua naʻa mo vaheʻi ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻa Kohate mei he kau Livai:

Ye shall not cut off the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,

19 Ka ko eni ia te mou fai kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kenau moʻui, pea ʻikai mate, ʻoka nau ka haʻu ki he ngaahi meʻa toputapu: ʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻo tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻenau ngāue mo ʻenau kavenga:

but this shall ye do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they draw near 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 Ka ʻe ʻikai tenau hū atu ke mamata ʻoka ʻuʻufi ʻae ngaahi meʻa toputapu, telia naʻa nau mate.”

but they shall not go in and see for a moment the holy things, lest they die.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

22 Ke ke lau foki ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau;

Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, according to their fathers' houses, after their families.
