< Numbers 4 >

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
2 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
“Lewwota keessaa gosa Qohaatotaa balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
3 from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,
“Hojiin Qohaatonni wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼaniin wal qabatee dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti hojjetan kanaa dha.
5 So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
Yommuu qubanni deemuuf kaʼutti Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa ol galanii golgaa daʼeessu sana gad haa buusan; golgaa sanaanis taabota kakuu seeraatti haa haguugan.
6 and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
Waan kanattis gogaa duugame uffisanii huccuu bifti isaa guutumaan guutuutti cuquliisa taʼe irraan haa afan. Danqaraawwanis iddoo iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
7 And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
“Isaanis huccuu bifa cuquliisaa tokko minjaala Buddeena Ilaalchaatti uffisanii gabatee, caabii fi waciitii akkasumas okkotee ittiin dhibaayyuu dhiʼeessan isa irra haa kaaʼan; buddeenni yeroo hunda achii hin dhabamne sunis isa irra haa kaaʼamu.
8 and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.
Huccuu bildiimaa isaan irra haa diriirsan; gogaa duugame itti haa uwwisan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
9 Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
“Huccuu bifti isaa cuquliisaa fuudhanii baattuu ibsaa kan ibsuuf tolchame ibsaa isaa wajjin, waan ittiin foʼaa ibsaa kutanii fi baattuu daaraa, meeshaawwan zayitii kanneen hojii kanaaf oolan hundas ittiin haa haguugan.
10 and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
Ergasiis waan kanaa fi miʼa isaa hunda gogaa duugameen maranii wasaasaa ittiin waa baatan irra haa kaaʼan.
11 And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,
“Huccuu biftii isaa cuquliisa taʼes iddoo aarsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetametti uffisanii gogaa duugame itti haa haguugan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
12 And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
“Meeshaawwan ittiin iddoo qulqulluu keessa tajaajilan hundas fuudhanii huccuu bifa cuquliisaatiin maranii gogaa duugameen haguuganii wasaasaa ittiin waa baatan irra haa kaaʼan.
13 Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
“Isaanis iddoo aarsaa irraa daaraa haranii huccuu diimaa dhiilgee itti haa uffisan.
14 and put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
Ergasiis miʼa iddoo aarsaa ittiin tajaajilan hunda, baattuu ibiddaa, qabduuwwan foonii, meeshaa ittiin daaraa hammaaranii fi waciitii isa irra haa kaaʼan. Gogaa duugamee isa irraan haa afan; danqaraawwan isaas iddoo isaanii keessa haa galchan.
15 So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
“Erga Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa meeshaawwan qulqulluu sanaa fi miʼa qulqulluu hunda haguuganii fixanii booddee yeroo qubanni sun godaanuuf kaʼutti Qohaatonni miʼa kana baachuudhaaf haa dhufan. Isaan garuu miʼa qulqulluu sana hin tuqin; yoo tuqan ni duʼuutii. Qohaatonni waan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa jiru hunda haa baatan.
16 But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
“Eleʼaazaar ilmi Aroon lubichaa itti gaafatamaa zayitii ibsaa, ixaana urgaaʼaa, kennaa midhaanii kan yeroo baayʼee dhiʼeeffamuu fi zayitii ittiin dibanii haa taʼu. Inni dunkaana qulqulluu hundaa fi waan isa keessa jiru hundatti, miʼaa fi meeshaawwan isaa qulqulluuttis itti gaafatamaa haa taʼu.”
17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
18 Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.
“Balbalawwan gosa Qohaatii Lewwota keessaa hin balleessinaa.
19 This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;
Akka isaan yommuu wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼanitti dhiʼaatanitti, akka lubbuun jiraatan malee hin duuneef waan kana isaaniif godhaa: Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa iddoo qulqulluu seenanii waan tokkoon tokkoon namaa hojjetuu fi baatu haa qoqqoodan.
20 but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
Qohaatonni garuu akka hin duuneef yeroo xinnaaf illee wantoota qulqulluu ilaaluudhaaf ol seenuu hin qaban.”
21 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Waaqayyo Museen akkana jedhe;
22 reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by their families;
“Geershoonotas maatii maatii isaanii fi balbala balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
23 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuu dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
24 This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
“Tajaajilli balbalawwan Geershoonotaa hojii hojjechuu fi baʼaa baachuudhaan tajaajilan kanaa dha:
25 they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
Isaan golgaa dunkaana qulqulluu, dunkaana wal gaʼii, uffata isaa fi irra buusaa isaa kan gogaa duugame irraa hojjetame, golgaa balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii,
26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,
golgaawwan dallaa dunkaana qulqulluu fi iddoo aarsaatti naannaʼee jiru sanaa, golgaa balbala isaa, funyoo fi miʼa tajaajila kanaaf fayyadu hunda baatu. Geershoononni waan wantoota kanaan hojjetamuu qabu hunda haa hojjetan.
27 At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.
Tajaajilli Geershoonotaa hundi baʼaa baachuus taʼu hojiin biraa ajaja Aroonii fi ilmaan isaa kennaniin haa adeemsifamu. Waan isaan baachuu qaban hundas akkuma itti gaafatama isaaniitti qoqoodaafii.
28 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
Tajaajilli balbalawwan Geershoonotaa dunkaana wal gaʼiitti kennan kanaa dha. Hojiin isaaniis Iitaamaar ilma Aroon lubichaatiin haa qajeelfamu.
29 As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
“Meraarota balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼi.
30 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting,
Dhiirota umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf dhufan hunda lakkaaʼi.
31 And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
Wanni isaan yeroo hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjetanitti godhan kanaa dha: kunis tuggeewwan dunkaana qulqulluu, dagaleewwan isaa, utubootaa fi miillawwan isaanii,
32 and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
utuboota oobdiitti naannaʼanii jiran miillawwan isaanii wajjin, qofoowwan dunkaanaa, funyoowwan, miʼa isaanii hundaa fi wantoota hojii kanaaf fayyadan hunda baachuu dha. Isinis waan tokkoon tokkoon namaa baatu addaan baasaatii ramadaafii.
33 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, —in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
Tajaajilli balbalawwan Meraarotaa qajeelfama Iitaamaar ilma Aroon lubichaa jala dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti kennan kanaa dha.”
34 Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;
Museen, Aroonii fi hooggantoonni waldaas Qohaatota balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼan.
35 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessaa sana keessa hojjechuuf dhufan hundi
36 and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
balbala balbalaan lakkaaʼamanii 2,750 turan.
37 These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
Kun lakkoobsa balbalawwan Qohaatota warra dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjechaa turanii ti. Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kennameetiin isaan lakkaaʼan.
38 And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;
Geershoononni balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼaman.
39 from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting:
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjechuuf dhufan hundi
40 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, by their ancestral house, —were found to be—two thousand, and six hundred, and thirty.
balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼamanii 2,630 turan.
41 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.
Balbalawwan Geershoonotaa, warri hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa hojjetan kanneen Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyootti lakkaaʼan hundi kanneenii dha.
42 And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;
Meraaronnis balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼaman.
43 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, —all that might enter the host to labour in the tent of meeting;
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa tajaajiluu dhufan hundi
44 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be—three thousand and two hundred.
balbala balbala isaaniitiin lakkaaʼamanii 3,200 turan.
45 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, —whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation of Moses.
Warri balbalawwan Meraarotaa keessaa lakkaaʼaman kanneen Musee fi Aroon akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kenname sanaatti lakkaaʼan kanneenii dha.
46 All they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;
Museen, Aroonii fi hooggantoonni Israaʼel Lewwota hunda balbala balbalaa fi maatii maatii isaaniitiin lakkaaʼan.
47 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,
Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa hamma shantamaa kanneen hojii tajaajilaa hojjechuu fi dunkaana wal gaʼii baachuu dhufanii
48 yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and five hundred, and eighty.
lakkaaʼaman hundi 8,580 turan.
49 At the bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour and over his burden, —yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
Isaanis akkuma ajaja Waaqayyoo kan karaa Museetiin kennameetiin tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waan hojjechuu qabanitti ramadaman; wanni isaan baachuu qabanis isaanitti himame. Akkasiin isaan akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti lakkaaʼaman.
