2 Mo lau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai,
“Conduct a census of the male descendants of Kohath from among the Levites, by their clans and families.
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.
Count all the men who are thirty to fifty years old. These men must join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.

The descendants of Kohath must take care of the most holy things reserved for me in the tent of meeting.
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 prepares to move forward, Aaron and his sons must go into the tent, take down the curtain that separates the most holy place from the holy place 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.

They are to spread a blue cloth on the table of the bread of the presence. On it they must put the dishes, spoons, bowls, and jars for pouring. Bread must always continue to be on the table.
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.
They must cover them with a scarlet cloth and again with sea cow skins. They must insert poles to carry the table.

They must remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on the altar.
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.

Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e kavenga ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
When Aaron and his sons have completely covered the holy place and all its equipment, and when the camp moves forward, then the descendants of Kohath must come to carry the holy place. If they touch the holy instruments, they must die. This is the work of the descendants of Kohath, to carry the furnishings 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.
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest oversees the care of the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil. He oversees the care of the entire tabernacle and all that is in it, the holy place and its equipment.”
17 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
18 “ʻOua naʻa mo vaheʻi ʻae faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻa Kohate mei he kau Livai:
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed 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:
Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
20 Ka ʻe ʻikai tenau hū atu ke mamata ʻoka ʻuʻufi ʻae ngaahi meʻa toputapu, telia naʻa nau mate.”
they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
21 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
22 Ke ke lau foki ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Kesoni, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngaahi fānau;
“Conduct a census of the descendants of Gershon also, by their ancestor's families and by their clans.
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.

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 must carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, its covering, the covering of sea cow skin that is on it, and the curtains for the entrance to 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.
They must carry the curtains of the court, the curtain for the doorway of the court's gate, which is near the tabernacle and near the altar, their ropes, and all the instruments for their service. Whatever should be done with these things, they must do it.
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.

You must count the descendants of Merari by their clans, and order them by their ancestor's families,
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.
