1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

'Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
3 Mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki he tau, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tent of meeting.
4 Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu.
This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
5 Pea ʻoka hiki atu ʻae ʻapitanga, ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha, kenau vete hifo ʻae fakapulonga, ʻo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava:
when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the 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 sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.
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 showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the pans, and the bowls, and the jars wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall remain thereon.
8 Pea tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kofu kulaʻahoʻaho, pea ʻe toe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe ʻai ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.
9 Pea tenau ʻave ʻae kofu lanumoana, ʻo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae tuʻunga maama, mo hono ngaahi foʻi maama, mo hono ngaahi hikofi, mo e ngaahi tukuʻanga ʻoe maama helekosi, pea mo e ipu lolo kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ki ai:
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it.
10 Pea tenau tuku ia mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea ʻe tuku ia ki ha fata.
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon a bar.

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.

And they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on a bar.

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon.
14 Pea tenau tuku ki ai hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ki ai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi huhu, pea mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga; pea tenau ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kiliʻi pasia, pea tuku ki ai hono ʻakau haʻamo.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and set the staves thereof.
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. Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e kavenga ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the holy furniture, and all the holy vessels, as the camp is to set forward — after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
16 Pea ko e ngāue ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e lolo ki he maama, pea mo e meʻa namu kakala, pea mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻoe ʻaho, pea mo e lolo ʻoe fakanofo, pea mo e pule ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai, ʻi he faletapu, pea mo hono ngaahi nāunau ʻo ia.
And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil: he shall have the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, whether it be the sanctuary, or the furniture thereof.'
17 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 “ʻOua naʻa mo vaheʻi ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻa Kohate mei he kau Livai:
'Cut ye not off the tribe of 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 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 Ka ʻe ʻikai tenau hū atu ke mamata ʻoka ʻuʻufi ʻae ngaahi meʻa toputapu, telia naʻa nau mate.”
but they shall not go in to see the holy things as they are being covered, lest they die.'
21 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
And the LORD spoke unto 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 the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;
23 Ke ke lau ʻakinautolu mei he tolungofulu taʻu ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu; ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
25 Pea tenau fua ʻae ngaahi puipui ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko hono fakapulonga, pea mo e ʻuʻufi kiliʻi pasia ʻoku ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia, pea mo e puipui ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai,
they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting;
26 Pea mo e ngaahi puipui ʻoe lotoʻā, pea mo e puipui ke matapā ʻaki ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe lotoʻā, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale fehikitaki pea ʻoku takatakai ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi maea, pea mo e nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ʻenau tauhi, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ngaohi maʻanautolu: ʻe pehē ʻenau tauhi.
and the hangings of the court, and the screen 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 instruments of their service, and whatsoever there may be to do with them, therein shall they serve.
27 ʻE ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, mo ʻenau kavenga kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau tauhi kotoa pē: pea te mou tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinautolu ʻenau kavenga kotoa pē.
At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden.
28 Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea ʻe puleʻi ʻenau ngāue ʻe ʻItama ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.

29 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ke ke lau ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai;
As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers' houses;
30 Ke ke lau ʻakinautolu mei he tolungofulu taʻu, ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hū ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof;

and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, even all their appurtenance, and all that pertaineth to their service; and by name ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden.
33 Pea ko e ngāue eni ʻae fānau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he pule ʻa ʻItama ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.
