4 “Kohat mma no dwumadi ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronne no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy.

And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony.
6 Afei, wɔde abirekyi nhoma bɛkata nkataanim no ho na wɔde ntama tuntum akata abirekyi nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkaa no mu.
And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through [the rings].

And they shall put on the table set forth for show-bread a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it.

And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it.
9 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata kaneadua no, akanea no, adabaw no, nkuku apampaa no ne ngo tumpan no ho.
And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister.
10 Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso wɔde abirekyi nhoma a ɛyɛ den bɛkata ho na wɔde nea wɔakyekyere no nyinaa abegu ɔpon no so.
And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers.
11 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka no so na wɔsan de abirekyi nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔremuka no mu.
And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves.

And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves.

And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple.
14 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔremuka no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntama no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu, adinam, sofi, ne nkankyee a wɔde nsu a wɔde pete gu mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde abirekyi nhoma kata ne nyinaa so na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde gu.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars.
15 “Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafo bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wonni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho tew no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wobewuwu. Ɛsɛ sɛ Kohat mmabarima no soa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no.
And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.
16 “Aaron babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhuam, daa aduan a wɔde bɔ afɔre, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no nyinaa so. Biribiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
18 “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔrentwa Kohatfo abusuakuw no mfi Lewifo mu.
You shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites.
19 Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho tew no a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn ade a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
This do you to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing.
20 Ɛnsɛ sɛ Kohatfo no kɔ hɔ kɔhwɛ akronkronne no koraa, na wɔanwuwu.”
And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die.
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22 “Kan Gerson asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no,
Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families.

25 Wɔbɛsoa ntama a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, Ahyiae Ntamadan no ankasa ne nea ɛkata ho, abirekyi nhoma nkuruso ne ntama a ɛsɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no.
And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness.

And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and [there shall be] their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle.
32 mpuran a wɔde yɛɛ adiwo hɔ afasu no ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ntampehama ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadi ahorow no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn din no nsa.
And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and [there shall be] their sockets, and [they shall bear] the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take you their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them.
