1 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 “Mubale batabani ba Kokasi abava mu kika ky’Abaleevi, ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
3 Mubabale nga muva ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano, abayinza okuyingira mu buweereza obw’okukola emirimu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 “Gino gye mirimu eginaakolwanga batabani ba Kokasi mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: nga gya kulabirira ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo.
This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
5 Olusiisira bwe lunaabanga lusitula, Alooni ne batabani be banaayingirangamu, ne batimbulula eggigi ery’olutimbe ne balibikka ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano.
And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, kuno ne babikkako olugoye olwa bbululu omuka, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7 “Ku mmeeza ey’Emigaati egy’Okulaga banaayaliirangako ekitambala ekya bbululu, ne bassaako amasowaane, n’ebijiiko ebinene, n’amabakuli, n’ejaagi omunaabeeranga ebiweebwayo ebyokunywa; n’emigaati egy’okulaga nagyo ginaabeeranga okwo.
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 covers to cover likewise: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 Banaayaliirangako ekitambaala ekimyufu ennyo, ne bakibikkako amaliba ga lukwata; ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
9 “Banaddiranga ekitambaala ekya bbululu ne bakibikka ku kikondo ky’ettaala kwe zinaayakiranga, n’ettabaaza zaako, n’ebikomola entambi n’ensuniya ez’ebisirinza, n’ejaagi ez’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni aganaakozesebwanga mu ttaala ezo.
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his intruments for snuffings, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
10 Ekikondo n’ebigenderako byonna binaasibibwanga mu maliba ga lukwata ne biteekebwa ku musituliro.
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 “Banaayaliiranga olugoye olwa bbululu ku kyoto ekya zaabu, okwo ne babikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
12 “Banaddiranga ebintu byonna ebinaakozesebwanga ku mirimu gy’obuweereza mu watukuvu ne babiteeka mu lugoye olwa bbululu ne babibikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne babiteeka ku misituliro gyabyo.
And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
13 Ekyoto banaakiggyangamu evvu ne bakibikkako olugoye olwa ffulungu;
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
14 ne balyoka bakissaako ebintu byonna ebikozesebwa mu mirimu gy’oku kyoto, nga mwe muli ensiniya ez’omuliro, n’ewuuma, n’ebijiiko n’ebibya. Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the forks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
15 “Alooni ne batabani be bwe banaamalanga okusibako awatukuvu ne byonna ebibeeramu, nga n’ekiseera ky’olusiisira okusitula mu lugendo kituuse; awo batabani ba Kokasi banajjanga ne babisitula, naye ekintu kyonna ekitukuvu tebakikwatangako, baleme okufa. Ebyo bye bintu eby’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu batabani ba Kokasi bye baneetikkanga.
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 “Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, y’anaabeeranga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’amafuta g’ettaala ag’omuzeeyituuni, n’obubaane obwakaloosa, n’ekiweebwayo eky’okulaga eky’emmere ey’empeke, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ag’okwawula. Era y’anaalabiriranga Eweema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, n’awatukuvu ne byonna ebikozesezebwamu.”
And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertains the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily food offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
18 “Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi.
Cut all of you not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
19 Ekyo munaakibakoleranga, bwe batyo bwe banaasembereranga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo balemenga okufa, naye basigalenga nga balamu. Alooni ne batabani be banaayingiranga mu watukuvu ne bagabira buli Mukokasi omulimu gwe n’ebyo by’aneetikkanga.
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 Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,

22 “Bala ne batabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.

From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall you number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
25 Baneetikkanga entimbe ez’omu Weema ya Mukama, y’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ebigibikkako, n’amaliba aga lukwata agabikkibwa kungulu kwayo, n’entimbe ez’omu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
26 n’entimbe ez’omu luggya olwebungulula Weema ya Mukama n’ekyoto, n’olutimbe lw’omulyango gw’oluggya, n’emiguwa, ne byonna ebinaakozesebwanga mu kuweereza okwo. Abagerusoni banaakolanga byonna ebineetaagibwanga okukola ku bintu ebyo.

This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
