Nomery 4
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 Alao isa ny taranak’ i Kehata eo amin’ ny taranak’ i Levy, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
Let the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, be numbered by their families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
3 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao raharaha ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
4 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny taranak’ i Kehata ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia ny zavatra masìna indrindra:
And this is to be the work of the sons of Kohath in connection with the most holy things.
5 Ary raha hifindra ny toby, dia hiditra Arona sy ny zanany ka hampidina ny efitra lamba fanakonana; ary hasarony ny fiaran’ ny Vavolombelona’ izany;
When all the people go forward, Aaron is to go in with his sons, and take down the veil of the curtain, covering the ark of witness with it;
6 ary hodi-takasy no hataony sarona eo amboniny, ka lamba volon’ ondry manga tokam-bolo no hovelariny hasarony eo ambonin’ io, dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
And putting over it the leather cover and over that a blue cloth; and putting its rods in place.
7 Ary hamelatra lamba, volon’ ondry manga eo ambonin’ ny latabatry ny mofo aseho izy, ka hataony eo ny lovia sy ny lovia kely sy ny kapoaka ary ny fitoeran-divay ho fanidinana; ary ny mofo aseho dia hataony eo amboniny.
And on the table of the holy bread they are to put a blue cloth, and on it all the vessels, the spoons and the basins and the cups; and the holy bread with them;
8 Dia hovelarany lamba jaky eo amboniny izy, ka hosaronany amin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy izany; dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
And over them they are to put a red cloth, covering it with a leather cover, and putting its rods in their places.
9 Dia haka lamba volon’ ondry manga izy, ka hasarony ny fanaovan-jiro fanazavana sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony sy ny hetin-jirony sy ny fitoeran-davenon-jirony ary ny fitoeran-diloilo rehetra eo, izay anaovana ny fanompoam-pivavahana;
And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:
10 ary ireo sy ny fanaka rehetra momba azy dia hataony ao anatin’ ny sarona hodi-takasy ka hatainginy eo ambonin’ ny filanjana azy.
All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame.
11 Ary hamelatra lamba manga eo ambonin’ ny alitara volamena izy, dia hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, ary hataony eo aminy ny baony;
On the gold altar they are to put a blue cloth, covering it with a leather cover; and they are to put its rods in their places.
12 dia halainy ny fanaka rehetra enti-manompo, dia izay fanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, ka hataony ao anaty lamba volon’ ondry manga ka hosaronany sarona hodi-takasy, dia hatainginy eo ambonin’ ny filanjana azy.
All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.
13 Dia hanaisotra ny lavenona amin’ ny alitara izy ka hamelatra lamba volomparasy eo amboniny.
And they are to take away the burned waste from the altar, and put a purple cloth on it;
14 Ary hapetrany eo amboniny avokoa ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, izay fanaovana fanompoan-pivavahana eo, dia ny fitondran’ afony sy ny fitrebiny sy ny sotron’ afony ary ny loviany famafazana, dia ny fanaka rehetra momba ny alitara; ary hovelarany sarona hodi-takasy eo amboniny izy, dia hataony eo aminy ny baony.
Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.
15 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny manarona ny fitoerana masìna sy ny fanaka rehetra momba azy, ka efa hifindra ny toby, dia vao izay no ho avy ny zanak’ i Kehata hitondra azy; fa tsy hikasika ny fitoerana masìna izy, fandrao maty. Izany zavatra momba ny trano-lay fihaonana izany no ho anjara entan’ ny taranak’ i Kehata.
And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.
16 Ary ny raharahan’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, dia ny diloilo hatao fanazavana sy ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona sy ny fanatitra hohanina fanao isan’ andro ary ny diloilo fanosorana, dia ny raharaha rehetra amin’ ny tabernakely sy izay rehetra ao anatiny amin’ ny fitoerana masìna sy ny fanaka momba azy.
And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.
17 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
18 Ataovy izay tsy hahafongotra ny fokon’ ny Kehatita tsy ho amin’ ny Levita:
Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;
19 fa izao no hataonareo aminy, mba ho velona izy ka tsy ho faty, raha manatona ny zavatra masìna indrindra: Arona ny ny zanany ihany no hahazo miditra ka hanendry azy rehetra samy ho amin’ ny fanompoany avy sy amin’ ny entany avy;
But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;
20 fa izy dia tsy hiditra hijery ny fitoerana masìna, na dia indray mipi-maso akory aza, fandrao maty.
But they themselves are not to go in to see the holy place, even for a minute, for fear of death.
21 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord said to Moses,
22 Alao isa koa ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fianakaviany sy ny fokony avy;
Let the sons of Gershon be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
23 ny hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona no halaminao, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
24 Izao no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita hanompoany sy hitondrany entana:
This is to be the work of the Gershonites, the things they are to do and take up.
25 ny ambain’ ny tabernakely sy ny trano-lay fihaonana sy ny firakony sy ny sarona hodi-takasy izay eo amboniny, ary ny varavarana lamba amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;
26 ary ny fefy lamban’ ny kianja sy ny vavahady lamba amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja, izay manodidina ny tabernakely sy ny alitara, ary ny kofehiny mbamin’ ny fiasana rehetra momba azy; ary izay rehetra hatao amin’ ireo no ho fanompoany.
And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, with the cords and all the things used for them; whatever is necessary for these, they are to do.
27 Araka ny tenin’ i Arona sy ny zanany no hanaovan’ ny Gersonita ny fanompoany amin’ ny entany rehetra sy ny fanompoany rehetra; ary hatolotrao azy ho anjara-raharahany ny zavatra rehetra izay ho entiny.
From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.
28 Izany no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny Gersonita ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary ny ho mpifehy azy amin’ izany anjara-raharahany izany dia Itamara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona.
This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, dia araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany no handaminanao azy;
The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
30 ny hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona no halaminao, dia izay rehetra miditra amin’ ny antokony hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana.
Every one from thirty to fifty years old who is able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
31 Ary izao no ho anjara-raharahany ny amin’ ny entana araka ny fanompoany rehetra ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana: ny zana-kazo amin’ ny tabernakely sy ny barany sy ny andriny sy ny faladiany,
And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;
32 sy ny tsangantsangan’ ny kianja manodidina sy ny faladiany sy ny tsimany rehetra ary ny kofehy momba ny fiasana rehetra sy ny zavatra rehetra enti-manao fanompoana ao; ary araka ny anarany avy no handaminanareo ny fanaka izay anjarany ho entina.
And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.
33 Izany no ho fanompoan’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, araka ny fanompoany rehetra ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, ary Itamara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, no ho mpifehy azy.
This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
34 Ary Mosesy sy Arona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana nandamina ny taranaky ny Kehatita, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany avy,
So Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people took in hand the numbering of the sons of the Kohathites, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;
35 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra tamin’ ny antokony hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
Numbering all those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting;
36 Ary izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia dimam-polo amby fiton-jato sy roa arivo.
And the number of all these was two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
37 Ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny Kehatita, dia izay rehetra manao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
38 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany,
And those of the sons of Gershon who were numbered by families,

Who were numbered by families in the order of their fathers' houses, were two thousand, six hundred and thirty.
41 Ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Gersona, izay rehetra manao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah.
This is the number of the sons of Gershon who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
42 Ary izay nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
And those of the sons of Merari who were numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,
43 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra tamin’ ny antokony, hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
All those from thirty to fifty years old who did the work in the Tent of meeting,
44 izay nalamina taminy, araka ny fokony, dia roan-jato sy telo arivo;
Who were numbered by families, were three thousand, two hundred.
45 ireo no nalamina tamin’ ny fokon’ ny taranak’ i Merary, izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona araka ny didin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
This is the number of the sons of Merari, numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.
46 Ny tontalin’ ny taranak’ i Levy izay nalamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin’ ny lohan’ ny Isiraely, araka ny fokony sy ny fianakaviany
And all the Levites who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the chiefs of the people, by families, in the order of their fathers' houses,
47 hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona ka hatramin’ ny dimam-polo taona, dia izay rehetra niditra hanao raharaha amin’ ny fanompoana sy ny fitondrana entana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana,
Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,
48 izay nalamina taminy dia valo-polo amby diman-jato sy valo arivo.
Came to eight thousand, five hundred and eighty.
49 Araka ny didin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy no nandaminany azy samy ho amin’ ny fanompoany avy sy ny anjara-entany avy ary ny zavatra nalamina araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
At the order of the Lord they were numbered by Moses, every one in relation to his work and to his part in the transport; so they were numbered by Moses at the order of the Lord.
