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 do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone 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 sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
21 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
The LORD 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;
