Numbers 4
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Ka iye àwọn ọmọ Kohati láàrín àwọn ọmọ Lefi nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn.
“Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
3 Ka gbogbo ọkùnrin láti ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún títí dé àádọ́ta ọdún gbogbo àwọn tó ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. These will be men who will work at the Sacred Tent.
4 “Wọ̀nyí ni iṣẹ́ ìsìn àwọn ọmọ Kohati nínú àgọ́ àjọ, láti tọ́jú àwọn ohun èlò mímọ́ jùlọ.
“The work of these descendants of Kohath will be [to take care of] the sacred items [that are used when the people worship] at the Sacred Tent.
5 Nígbà tí àgọ́ yóò bá tẹ̀síwájú, Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò wọ inú rẹ̀, wọn yóò sí aṣọ ìbòrí rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì fi bo àpótí ẹ̀rí.
When you Israelis move to another location, Aaron and his sons must enter the tent to take down the curtain that separates the Very Holy Place from the other part of the Sacred Tent. They must cover the sacred chest with that curtain.
6 Wọn yóò sì fi awọ ewúrẹ́ bò ó, lórí awọ ewúrẹ́ yìí ni wọn ó tẹ̀ bọ ààyè rẹ̀.
Then they must cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Over that they must spread a blue cloth. Then they must insert into the rings on the chest the poles [for carrying it].
7 “Lórí tábìlì àkàrà ìfihàn ni kí wọn ó na aṣọ aláró kan sí, kí wọn kí ó sì fi àwopọ̀kọ́ sórí rẹ̀, àti ṣíbí àti àwokòtò àti ìgò fún ọrẹ ohun mímu; àti àkàrà ìgbà gbogbo ní kí ó wà lórí rẹ̀.
“Then they must put a blue cloth over the table on which the priests put the sacred bread. On top of the cloth they must put the bowls [for incense], the pans, the other dishes, the jars for [the wine that will be] offered as a sacrifice, and the sacred bread.
8 Lórí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni wọn yóò da, wọn ó tún fi awọ ewúrẹ́ bò ó, wọn ó sì fi òpó rẹ̀ bọ ààyè rẹ̀.
Over all of this they must spread a scarlet/red cloth. Finally, they must put on top a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into the [rings at the corners of] the tables the poles [for carrying it].
9 “Kí wọn kí ó sì mú aṣọ aláwọ̀ aláró kan, kí wọn kí ó sì fi bo ọ̀pá fìtílà àti fìtílà rẹ̀, àti alumagaji rẹ̀, àti àwo alumagaji rẹ̀, àti gbogbo ohun èlò òróró rẹ̀, èyí tí wọ́n fi ń ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
“Then with another blue cloth they must cover the lampstand, the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the trays, and the special jars of [olive] oil [to burn in the lamps].
10 Kí wọn ó fi awọ ẹran yí fìtílà àti gbogbo ohun èlò rẹ, kí wọn kí ó sì gbé e lé orí férémù tí wọn yóò fi gbé e.
They must cover the lampstand and all the other items with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. They must place all these things on a frame for carrying them.
11 “Ní orí pẹpẹ wúrà ni kí wọn ó tẹ́ aṣọ aláró kan sí, wọn yóò sì fi awọ seali bò ó, kí wọ́n sì fi òpó rẹ̀ bọ ààyè rẹ̀.
“Then they must spread another blue cloth over the gold altar [which is used for burning] incense. Over this they must spread a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings of] that altar the poles for carrying it.
12 “Kí wọn kó gbogbo ohun èlò tí wọ́n ń lò fún iṣẹ́ ìsìn ní ibi mímọ́, kí wọn ó fi aṣọ aláwọ̀ búlúù yìí, kí wọn ó sì fi awọ seali bò ó, kí wọn ó sì fi gbé wọn ka orí férémù.
“They must take all the other items that are inside the Sacred Tent and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats, and place all that on a frame for carrying it.
13 “Kí wọn ó kó eérú kúrò lórí pẹpẹ idẹ, kí wọn ó sì tẹ́ aṣọ aláwọ̀ àlùkò lé e lórí.
“Then they must remove the ashes from the altar [on which they have burned sacrifices]. Then they must cover the altar with a purple cloth.
14 Nígbà náà ni kí wọn ó kó gbogbo ohun èlò fún iṣẹ́ ìsìn níbi pẹpẹ, títí dórí àwo iná, fọ́ọ̀kì ẹran, ọkọ́ eérú àti àwokòtò. Kí wọn ó fi awọ ewúrẹ́ bo gbogbo rẹ̀, kí wọn ó sì fi òpó rẹ̀ bọ ààyè rẹ̀.
Then they must spread on top of the cloth all the items used at the altar—the pans [for carrying the hot coals], the meat forks, the shovels, the bowls [for containing the blood to sprinkle on the people], and all the other containers. Then they must spread over all those things a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings at the sides of] the altar the poles [for carrying it].
15 “Lẹ́yìn tí Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ti parí bíbo ibi mímọ́ àti gbogbo ohun èlò ibi mímọ́, nígbà tí àgọ́ bá sì ṣetán láti tẹ̀síwájú, kí àwọn ọmọ Kohati bọ́ síwájú láti gbé e, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fọwọ́ kan ohun mímọ́ kankan, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ wọn ó kú. Àwọn ọmọ Kohati ni yóò gbé gbogbo ohun tó wà nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
“Then Aaron and his sons have finished covering all these sacred things, the Israeli people will be ready to move [to a new location]. The descendants of Kohath must come and carry all the sacred things to [the next place] where you Israelis will set up your tents. But the descendants of Kohath must not touch any of these sacred items, because they will [immediately] die [if they touch them]. They are the ones who will carry these things, [but they must not touch them].
16 “Iṣẹ́ Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni tí í ṣe àlùfáà ni ṣíṣe àbojútó òróró fìtílà, tùràrí dídùn, ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ ìgbà gbogbo àti òróró ìtasórí. Kí ó jẹ́ alábojútó gbogbo ohun tó jẹ mọ́ àgọ́ àti gbogbo ohun tó wà nínú rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun èlò ibi mímọ́.”
“Aaron’s son Eleazar will have the work of taking care of the [olive] oil for the lamps, the nice-smelling incense, the grain which will be burned on the altar each day, and the [olive] oil for anointing [the priests]. Eleazar is the one who will supervise the work that is done at the Sacred Tent and the men who take care of everything that is in it.”
17 Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
“Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
18 “Rí i pé a kò gé ẹ̀yà Kohati kúrò lára àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
“When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent [to take them to another location], Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent [at any other time] and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.”
19 Nítorí kí wọ́n lè yè, kí wọ́n má ba à kú nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ tòsí àwọn ohun mímọ́ jùlọ: Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ni kí ó wọ ibi mímọ́ láti pín iṣẹ́ oníkálùkù àti àwọn ohun tí wọn yóò gbé.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Kohati kò gbọdọ̀ wọlé láti wo àwọn ohun mímọ́, bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìṣẹ́jú kan, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò kú.”
21 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
22 “Tún ka iye àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn.
“Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
23 Ka gbogbo ọkùnrin láti ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún títí dé àádọ́ta ọdún, gbogbo àwọn tó ń wá ṣiṣẹ́ ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
24 “Èyí ni iṣẹ́ ìsìn ìdílé àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni, bí wọ́n ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ àti ní ẹrù rírù.
“This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
25 Àwọn ni yóò máa ru àwọn aṣọ títa ti àgọ́, ti àgọ́ ìpàdé àti ìbòrí rẹ̀, àti awọ ewúrẹ́ tí a fi bò ó, aṣọ títa ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé,
They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
26 aṣọ títa ti àgbàlá tó yí àgọ́ àti pẹpẹ ká, aṣọ títa ti ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé sí àgbàlá, okùn àti àwọn ohun èlò iṣẹ́ ìsìn, àti ohun gbogbo tí à ń lò fún wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn ó máa sìn. Àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni ni yóò ṣe gbogbo ohun tó bá yẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes [that fasten the curtains]. They must also do the packing and loading of these things.
27 Gbogbo iṣẹ́ ìsìn àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni yálà ni iṣẹ́ ṣíṣe tàbí ní ẹrù rírù ni, Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ni yóò máa darí wọn; ìwọ ni kí o sì yàn ẹrù tí oníkálùkù yóò rù fún un.
Aaron and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry.
28 Èyí ni iṣẹ́ ìdílé àwọn Gerṣoni ni àgọ́ ìpàdé Itamari, ọmọ Aaroni tí í ṣe àlùfáà ni yóò sì jẹ alábojútó iṣẹ́ wọn.
Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
29 “Ka iye àwọn ọmọ Merari nípa ilé baba wọn àti ìdílé wọn.
Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
30 Ka gbogbo ọkùnrin láti ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún títí dé àádọ́ta ọdún, gbogbo àwọn tó ń wá ṣiṣẹ́ ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
31 Iṣẹ́ tí wọn yóò sì máa ṣe nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé nìyìí: gbígbẹ́ àwọn férémù àgọ́, pákó ìdábùú rẹ̀, òpó àti ihò òpó rẹ̀,
Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts [that hold up the curtains], and the bases.
32 pẹ̀lú gbogbo òpó tó yí àgbàlá ká àti ohun èlò tó jẹ mọ́ lílò wọn, kí o sì yan ohun tí oníkálùkù yóò rù fún un.
They must also carry the posts for [the curtains that form the walls of] the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes [to fasten the curtains]. Tell each man what things he must carry.
33 Èyí ni iṣẹ́ ìsìn ìdílé àwọn ọmọ Merari, bí wọn yóò ti máa ṣiṣẹ́ ní àgọ́ ìpàdé lábẹ́ àkóso Itamari ọmọ Aaroni tí í ṣe àlùfáà.”
Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
34 Mose àti Aaroni pẹ̀lú àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn ka àwọn ọmọ Kohati nípa ìdílé àti ilé baba wọn.
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted the descendants of Kohath, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
