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 Afei, wɔde abirekyie nwoma bɛkata nkatanimu no ho na wɔde ntoma tuntum akata abirekyie nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkawa no mu.

And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls and the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 Wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasane de abirekyie nhoma akata ntoma kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɛpono no mu.
and they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof.
9 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata kaneadua no, nkanea no, adaawa no, nkukuo apaawa no ne ngo toa no ho.
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof:
12 “Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma bibire kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyie nhoma asane akyekyere ho na wɔde to mpata a wɔde soa no so.
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 the frame.
13 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu nsõ no nyinaa firi afɔrebukyia no mu guo, na wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bibire kyekyere ho.
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
14 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔrebukyia no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntoma no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu, nsosɔmu, sofi, kyɛnsee kɛseɛ ne nneɛma a wɔkora mu nneɛma gu ntoma no so na wɔde abirekyie nhoma kata ne nyinaa so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde guo.
and they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the firepans, 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 put in the staves thereof.
15 “Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wɔnni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho te no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu. Kohat mma na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
16 “Aaron babarima Eleasa na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhwam, daa aduane a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no nyinaa so. Biribibiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
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, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the furniture thereof.
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 “Monntwa Kohatfoɔ abusuakuo no mfiri Lewifoɔ mu.
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
19 Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho te no a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn adeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
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 Sɛ wɔanyɛ saa a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ kronkronbea hɔ koraa. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛhunu nneɛma a ɛho te no na ɛrenkyɛre koraa wɔawuwu.”
but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
22 “Kan Gerson asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no,
Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;

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 Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adihɔ hɔ ɔfasuo no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa adihɔ hɔ ɛkwan no ano ne afɔrebukyia ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔrebukyia no, ntampehoma ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ, twe yeinom nyinaa.
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 shall be done with them: therein shall they serve.

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,
32 mpunan a wɔde yɛɛ adihɔ hɔ afasuo no ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ntampehoma ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadie ahodoɔ no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn edin nsa.
