Okubala 4
1 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
2 “Mubale batabani ba Kokasi abava mu kika ky’Abaleevi, ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
“Conduct a census of the male descendants of Kohath from among the Levites, by their clans and families.
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.
Count all the men who are thirty to fifty years old. These men must join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
4 “Gino gye mirimu eginaakolwanga batabani ba Kokasi mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: nga gya kulabirira ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo.
The descendants of Kohath must take care of the most holy things reserved for me in the tent of meeting.
5 Olusiisira bwe lunaabanga lusitula, Alooni ne batabani be banaayingirangamu, ne batimbulula eggigi ery’olutimbe ne balibikka ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano.
When the camp prepares to move forward, Aaron and his sons must go into the tent, take down the curtain that separates the most holy place from the holy place and cover the ark of the testimony with it.
6 Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, kuno ne babikkako olugoye olwa bbululu omuka, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
They must cover the ark with sea cow skins. They must spread a blue cloth over it. They must insert the poles to carry it.
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.
They are to spread a blue cloth on the table of the bread of the presence. On it they must put the dishes, spoons, bowls, and jars for pouring. Bread must always continue to be on the table.
8 Banaayaliirangako ekitambaala ekimyufu ennyo, ne bakibikkako amaliba ga lukwata; ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
They must cover them with a scarlet cloth and again with sea cow skins. They must insert poles to carry the table.
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.
They must take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand, along with its lamps, tongs, trays, and all the jars of oil for the lamps.
10 Ekikondo n’ebigenderako byonna binaasibibwanga mu maliba ga lukwata ne biteekebwa ku musituliro.
They must put the lampstand and all its accessories into a covering of sea cow skins, and they must put it on a carrying frame.
11 “Banaayaliiranga olugoye olwa bbululu ku kyoto ekya zaabu, okwo ne babikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.
They must spread a cloth of blue on the gold altar. They must cover it with a covering of sea cow skins, and then insert the carrying poles.
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.
They must take all the equipment for the work in the holy place and wrap it in a blue cloth. They must cover it with sea cow skins and put the equipment on the carrying frame.
13 Ekyoto banaakiggyangamu evvu ne bakibikkako olugoye olwa ffulungu;
They must remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth on the altar.
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.
They must put on the carrying frame all the equipment that they use in the work of the altar. These objects are the firepans, forks, shovels, bowls, and all the other equipment for the altar. They must cover the altar with sea cow skins and then insert the carrying poles.
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.
When Aaron and his sons have completely covered the holy place and all its equipment, and when the camp moves forward, then the descendants of Kohath must come to carry the holy place. If they touch the holy instruments, they must die. This is the work of the descendants of Kohath, to carry the furnishings in the tent of meeting.
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.”
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest oversees the care of the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil. He oversees the care of the entire tabernacle and all that is in it, the holy place and its equipment.”
17 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
18 “Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi.
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed 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.
Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
20 Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”
they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
21 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
22 “Bala ne batabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
“Conduct a census of the descendants of Gershon also, by their ancestor's families and by their clans.
23 Babale ng’otandikira ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano, abayinza okuyingira mu buweereza obw’okukola emirimu egya Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

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,
They must carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, its covering, the covering of sea cow skin that is on it, and the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Aaron and his sons must direct all the service of the descendants of the Gershonites, in everything that they transport, and in all their service. You must assign them to all their responsibilities.

31 Gino gye ginaabanga emirimu gyabwe egikwata ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: okusitula omudaala gwa Weema ya Mukama, n’embaawo zaayo, n’empagi n’ebibya mwe zituula,
