Numbers 4
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
« Kati na bana mibali ya Levi, tanga motango ya bakitani ya Keati kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Tanga motango ya mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, mpo ete baya kosala mosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
4 “This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, regarding the most holy things.
Tala mosala ya bato ya Keati kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani: kobatela biloko oyo eleki bule.
5 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in with his sons; and they shall take down the veil of the screen, cover the ark of the Testimony with it,
Tango bakolongola molako, Aron elongo na bana na ye ya mibali bakokota na kati, bakokitisa rido mpe bakozipa na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli.
6 put a covering of sealskin on it, spread a blue cloth over it, and put in its poles.
Na likolo na yango, bakotia bulangeti oyo esalema na poso ya nyama ya ebale, bakofinika liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakotia mabaya ya komemela Sanduku ya Litatoli.
7 “On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
Na likolo ya mesa ya bagato ya bule, bakotanda lisusu liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakotia na likolo na yango biloko oyo: basani ya mbele, bambeki, bakopo, milangi mpo na makabo ya masanga mpe bagato oyo bakobanda kobonza lokola makabo liboso na Ngai tango nyonso.
8 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
Bongo na likolo ya biloko yango, bakotanda liputa ya langi ya motane makasi, mpe bakozipa biloko wana nyonso na liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale. Mpe bakotia balate oyo ekosunga mpo na kotombola mpe komema mesa.
9 “They shall take a blue cloth and cover the lamp stand of the light, its lamps, its snuffers, its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.
Bakokamata liputa ya langi ya ble mpe bakofinika na yango etelemiselo ya minda elongo na minda na yango, biloko oyo balongolelaka makala na moto, basani mpo na putulu ya moto mpe basani ya mafuta, oyo basalelaka mosala na mesa.
10 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.
Bakosangisa na liboke moko, ezala elamba yango ya langi ya ble mpe biloko na yango nyonso, kati na liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale, mpe bakotia yango na likolo ya tsipoyi.
11 “On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
Bakotanda liputa ya langi ya ble na likolo ya etumbelo ya wolo mpe bakofinika bulangeti basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale; bongo bakotia balate na yango oyo ekosunga mpo na komema.
12 “They shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
Bakozwa biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango kati na Esika ya bule, bakotia yango kati na liputa ya langi ya ble, bakofinika yango bulangeti basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale; bongo bakotia yango na tsipoyi.
13 “They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
Sima na bango kolongola putulu ya moto wuta na etumbelo, bakotanda liputa ya langi ya motane na likolo na yango;
14 They shall put on it all its vessels with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins—all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
bongo bakotia na likolo na yango biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango na etumbelo: basani oyo batumbaka na yango ansa, bakanya, bapawu, basani ya minene mpe biloko nyonso oyo basalaka na yango na etumbelo; bongo bakotanda na likolo ya biloko oyo nyonso, liputa ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale, mpe bakotia balate ya etumbelo oyo ekosunga mpo na komema.
15 “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. The sons of Kohath shall carry these things belonging to the Tent of Meeting.
Soki balingi kolongola molako mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, bana mibali ya Keati bakoya komema soki kaka Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali basilisi kofinika Esika ya bule mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; kasi basengeli te kosimba Esika ya bule, noki te bakokufa. Yango wana nde misala ya bana mibali ya Keati kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
16 “The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”
Tala misala ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron: kolandela mafuta ya etelemiselo ya minda, ansa ya kozikisa, makabo ya mokolo na mokolo mpe mafuta ya epakolami; kokengela Mongombo mpe biloko na yango nyonso, ezala Esika ya bule to biloko na yango nyonso. »
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
18 “Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
« Bolongola te kati na Balevi lisanga ya mabota ya bato ya Keati.
19 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;
Tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala mpo na bango mpo ete bakufa te tango bakopusana pene ya biloko oyo eleki bule: yo, Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali, bokokota mpe bopesa na moko na moko kati na bango mosala oyo asengeli kosala to eloko oyo asengeli komema.
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
Basengeli te kokota bango moko mpo na kotala Esika ya bule, ata mpo na tango moke; soki te bakokufa. »
21 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
22 “Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
« Tanga motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda bituka mpe mabota na bango.
23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old: all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Okotanga mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino na tuku mitano, ba-oyo bakoki kosala mosala songolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
24 “This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
Tala misala mpe mokumba ya bituka ya bana mibali ya Gerishoni:
25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, the covering of sealskin that is on it, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
bakobanda komema batapi ya Mongombo mpe Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani elongo na elamba na yango, elamba ya makasi basala na poso ya nyama ya ebale mpo na kozipa na likolo, rido ya ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the gate of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.
batapi ya lopango, rido ya ekuke ya lopango, oyo ezingeli Mongombo mpe etumbelo, basinga na yango mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso. Bakosala mosala oyo etali biloko oyo.
27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all their responsibilities.
Mosala nyonso ya bato ya Gerishoni ekokambama na Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali: ezala mpo na komema biloko to mpo na kosala mosala; bokoyebisa bango mosala nyonso oyo bango basengeli kosala.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting. Their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Wana nde misala ya bituka ya bato ya Gerishoni kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Itamari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, nde akokamba misala na bango.
29 “As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
Okotanga motango ya bato ya Merari, etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko;
30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
okotanga mibali nyonso oyo bazali na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bakoki kosala mosala songolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
Tala biteni ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, oyo bakobanda komema: mabaya ya Mongombo, balate na yango, makonzi mpe makolo na yango,
32 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. You shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden to them by name.
makonzi oyo ezingeli lopango, makolo na yango, bapike na yango, basinga na yango, bisalelo na yango nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo esungaka mpo na kokangisa yango. Bokobenga moto moko na moko na kombo mpe bokopesa ye biloko oyo akobanda komema.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
Wana nde misala ya bituka ya bato ya Merari. Itamari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, nde akokamba misala na bango nyonso kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. »
34 Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
Moyize, Aron mpe bakambi ya lisanga ya Isalaele batangaki motango ya bato ya Keati, kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko.
35 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting.
Mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
36 Those who were counted of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty.
batangamaki kolanda etuka moko na moko: motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama sambo na tuku mitano.
37 These are those who were counted of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Wana nde motango ya bato nyonso oyo batangamaki kati na bituka ya bato ya Keati, ba-oyo bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki motango yango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
38 Those who were counted of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Gerishoni kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
39 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting,
mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
40 even those who were counted of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty.
batangamaki kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama motoba na tuku misato.
41 These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of Yahweh.
Wana nde motango ya bato ya Gerishoni oyo batangamaki mpe bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
42 Those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
Batangaki motango ya bato ya Merari kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
43 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting,

45 These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Wana nde motango ya bato oyo batangamaki kati na bituka ya bato ya Merari. Moyize mpe Aron batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
46 All those who were counted of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel counted, by their families and by their fathers’ houses,
Moyize, Aron mpe bakambi ya Isalaele batangaki motango ya Balevi nyonso, kolanda etuka moko na moko mpe libota moko na moko:
47 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,
mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda tuku misato kino tuku mitano, ba-oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kosala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
48 even those who were counted of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty.
batangamaki; motango na bango ezalaki nkoto mwambe na nkama mitano na tuku mwambe.
49 According to the commandment of Yahweh they were counted by Moses, everyone according to his service and according to his burden. Thus they were counted by him, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Moyize apesaki na Molevi moko na moko mosala mpe mokumba, kolanda mitindo ya Yawe. Batangaki bango kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na Moyize.
