1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
“Thĩinĩ wa Alawii-rĩ, tarai rũhonge rwa Akohathu kũringana na mbarĩ ciao na nyũmba ciao.
3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
Mũtare arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, [about] the most holy things:
“Ũyũ nĩguo wĩra wa Akohathu thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo: wĩra wao nĩ kũmenyerera indo iria theru mũno.
5 when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it,
Rĩrĩa kambĩ ĩgũthaama-rĩ, Harũni na ariũ ake marĩtoonyaga thĩinĩ wa hema ĩyo makaruta gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa kũhakania na makahumbĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira nakĩo.
6 and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
Ningĩ marĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu mũtheri igũrũ rĩacio, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
7 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 the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall be thereon:
“Nao maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa metha ya mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova, na mamĩigĩrĩre thaani, na thaani, nene na mbakũri, na ndigithũ cia magongona ma kũnyuuo; na mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩigagwo hau hĩndĩ ciothe ĩikare o hau igũrũ.
8 and they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof.
Macooke maigĩrĩre gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa gakarakũ igũrũ rĩa indo icio na ningĩ mahumbĩre gĩtambaya kĩu na njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya kũrĩkuua handũ hayo.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
“Ningĩ moe gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, mahumbĩre mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa marĩa mamũrĩkaga, hamwe na matawa maguo, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na thaani cia mũrarĩ wa ndaambĩ, na ndigithũ cia gwĩkĩrwo maguta ma matawa macio.
10 and they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the frame.
Ningĩ makũnje mũtĩ ũcio na indo ciaguo ciothe ciohetwo na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na macigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in the staves thereof:
“Nĩ maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona gĩa thahabu, na makĩhumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na matoonyie mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
12 and they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
“Ningĩ moe indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wa handũ-harĩa-haamũre, macikũnje na gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa bururu, macihumbĩre na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo, na maciigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa gĩkuui gĩacio.
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
“Ningĩ nĩ marute mũhu kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ gĩa gĩcango, na maare gĩtambaya kĩa rangi wa ndathi igũrũ rĩakĩo.
14 and they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the firepans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and put in the staves thereof.
Ningĩ maigĩrĩre indo ciothe iria ihũthagĩrwo gũtungata kĩgongona-inĩ, nacio nĩ hamwe na ngĩo cia mwaki, na njibe, na icakũri, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria. Igũrũ rĩakĩo nĩ maare gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo na matoonyie mĩtĩ ya gũgĩkuua handũ hayo.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
“Thuutha wa Harũni na ariũ ake kũrĩĩkia kũhumbĩra indo ciothe theru o na indo ciothe nyamũre, na rĩrĩa andũ a kambĩ mehaarĩria gũthaama-rĩ, ariũ a Akohathu nao moke makuue indo icio. No matikanahutie indo icio nyamũre matigakue. Akohathu acio nĩo magaakuua indo iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
16 And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, the sanctuary, and the furniture thereof.
“Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra maguta ma gwakia tawa, na ũbumba ũrĩa ũnungaga wega, na mũtu ũrĩa ũrutagwo hĩndĩ ciothe, o na maguta marĩa maitanagĩrĩrio. Nĩwe ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre ĩrĩ yothe na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo, nĩcio indo iria nyamũre ciĩkĩrĩtwo kuo, na indo cia wĩra.”
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
“Menyererai mbarĩ cia mũhĩrĩga wa Akohathu matikaneherio kuuma kũrĩ Alawii.
19 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;
Nĩguo matũũre muoyo na matikae gũkua rĩrĩa mangĩkuhĩrĩria indo iria theru mũno-rĩ, mekagĩrei ũũ: Harũni na ariũ ake nĩo marĩtoonyaga handũ harĩa hatheru, na makagaĩra o mũndũ wĩra wake na kĩrĩa egũkuua.
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.
No ariũ a Kohathu matikanatoonye thĩinĩ kuona indo iria theru o na hanini, nĩguo matigaakue.”
21 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
22 Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
“Tara Agerishoni o nao kũringana na nyũmba ciao na mbarĩ ciao.
23 from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
Ũtare arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
“Ũyũ nĩguo ũtungata wa mbarĩ cia Agerishoni rĩrĩa mekũruta wĩra na gũkuua mĩrigo:
25 they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting,
Nĩo marĩkuuaga itambaya cia gũcuurio cia Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo cia kũmĩhumbĩra, o na gĩthii kĩa njũũa cia pomboo cia kũmĩhumbĩra na igũrũ, na itambaya cia gũcuurio cia itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatsoever shall be done with them: therein shall they serve.
na itambaya cia gũcuurio iria cia kũirigĩra nja ĩrĩa ĩthiũrũrũkĩirie Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre na kĩgongona, na gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio gĩa itoonyero-inĩ, na mĩhĩndo na indo ciothe itũmagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wayo. Agerishoni acio nĩo marĩrutaga wĩra wothe ũrĩa wagĩrĩire kũrutwo na indo icio.
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 ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden.
Ũtungata wao wothe, ũrĩ wa gũkuua mĩrigo kana wa kũruta wĩra ũngĩ, ũrĩĩrutagwo ũtongoretio nĩ Harũni na ariũ ake. Nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩmagayagĩra wĩra wao wa kĩrĩa gĩothe marĩkuuaga.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Ũcio nĩguo ũtungata wa mbarĩ ya Agerishoni Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Wĩra wao ũrĩĩrutagwo ũtongoretio nĩ Ithamaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
“Tara Amerari kũringana na mbarĩ na nyũmba ciao.
30 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.
Tara arũme othe a ũkũrũ wa kuuma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ nginya mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano arĩa mokaga gũtungata wĩra-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof,
Ũyũ nĩguo wĩra wao ũrĩa marĩrutaga magĩtungata Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo: wĩra wao nĩ gũkuuaga buremu cia Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre, na mĩgĩĩko yayo, na itugĩ na itina ciacio,
