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:

Do ye not cause the tribe of the families of the Kehathites to be cut off 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.”
