Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families.
“Mubale batabani ba Kokasi abava mu kika ky’Abaleevi, ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
3 From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old, of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
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.
4 This is the service of the sons of Caath:
“Gino gye mirimu eginaakolwanga batabani ba Kokasi mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: nga gya kulabirira ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo.
5 When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of the testimony in it,
Olusiisira bwe lunaabanga lusitula, Alooni ne batabani be banaayingirangamu, ne batimbulula eggigi ery’olutimbe ne balibikka ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano.
6 And shall cover it again with a cover of violet skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the bars.
Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, kuno ne babikkako olugoye olwa bbululu omuka, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
7 They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
“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.
8 And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet, which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
Banaayaliirangako ekitambaala ekimyufu ennyo, ne bakibikkako amaliba ga lukwata; ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.
9 They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps:
“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.
10 And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins and put in the bars.
Ekikondo n’ebigenderako byonna binaasibibwanga mu maliba ga lukwata ne biteekebwa ku musituliro.
11 And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
“Banaayaliiranga olugoye olwa bbululu ku kyoto ekya zaabu, okwo ne babikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.
12 All the vessels wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
“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.
13 They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes, and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
Ekyoto banaakiggyangamu evvu ne bakibikkako olugoye olwa ffulungu;
14 And shall put it with all the vessels that they use in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks, pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
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.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped up the sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
“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.
16 And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels that are in the sanctuary.
“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.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
18 Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:
“Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi.
19 But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man is to carry.
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.
20 Let not others by any curiosity see the things that are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.
Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
22 Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their houses and families and kindreds.
“Bala ne batabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
23 From thirty Sears old and upward, unto fifty years old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
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.
24 This is the office of the family of the Gersonites:
“Gino gye mirimu eginaakolebwanga ab’omu mpya z’Abagerusoni mu kuweereza era ne mu kwetikka emigugu:
25 To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,
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,
26 The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords and the vessels of the ministry,
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.
27 The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.
Mu kuweereza kwonna okw’Abagerusoni, oba mu kwetikka oba mu kukola emirimu egy’engeri endala, Alooni ne batabani be, be banaabalagiranga. Abagerusoni ojjanga kubakwasa obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna ku ebyo bye baneetikkanga.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gersonites in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Obwo bwe buweereza bwa batabani ba Gerusoni nga bukwata ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Bye banaakolanga binaalabirirwanga Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.
29 Thou shalt reckon up the sons of Merari also by the families and houses of their fathers,
“Batabani ba Merali nabo babale ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri.
30 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the office of their ministry, and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
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.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof, the pillars and their sockets,
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,
32 The pillars also of the court round about, with their sockets and pins and cords. They shall receive by account all the vessels and furniture, and so shall carry them.
awamu n’empagi ezeebungulula oluggya n’ebibya byazo mwe zituula, n’enkondo z’eweema, n’emiguwa, ne byonna ebyetaagibwa okukozesebwa ku mirimu egyo. Buli musajja onoomutegeezanga amannya g’ebintu byennyini by’ajjanga okwetikka.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry in the tabernacle of the covenant: and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Egyo gye ginaabanga emirimu gy’omu mpya z’abaana ba Merali nga bali mu buweereza bwabwe obwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakulemberwa Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.”
34 So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their fathers,
Awo Musa ne Alooni n’abakulembeze b’abantu ne babala batabani b’Abakokasi ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.
35 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
Ne bababala nga batandikira ku basajja ab’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku myaka amakumi ataano, abajja okuweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
36 And they were found two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
nga bababala ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali; baawera enkumi bbiri mu lusanvu mu amakumi ataano.
37 This is the number of the people of Caath that go in to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogw’abo abaali mu mpya z’Abakokasi abaaweerezanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
38 The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
Batabani ba Gerusoni nabo baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.
39 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abaaweerezanga mu mirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
40 And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.
baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali, ne bawera enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga mu amakumi asatu.
41 This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogwa batabani ba Gerusoni abaali mu mpya za Abagerusoni abaaweerezanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
Batabani ba Merali baabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe zaali.
43 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to fulfill the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abajja okuweereza mu mirimu gy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
44 And they were found three thousand two hundred.
abaabalibwa ng’empya zaabwe bwe zaali baali bawera enkumi ssatu mu ebikumi bibiri.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Ogwo gwe gwali omuwendo gwonna ogwabalibwa ogw’omu mpya za batabani ba Merali. Musa ne Alooni baababala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
46 All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
Bwe batyo Musa ne Alooni n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ne babala Abaleevi bonna mu mpya zaabwe ne mu nnyumba z’abakadde baabwe.
47 From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
Abasajja bonna okuva ku b’emyaka amakumi asatu egy’obukulu okutuuka ku b’emyaka amakumi ataano abajja okuweereza mu mirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
48 Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
abaabalibwa baawera kanaana mu ebikumi bitaano mu kinaana.
49 Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him.
Buli musajja yaweebwa omulimu ogw’okukola n’ategeezebwa ky’aneetikka, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa. Bwe batyo bonna ne babalibwa nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
