But the Levites [Descendants of United with] after the tribe of their fathers was not counted among them.
48 Kwa sababu BWANA alimwambia Musa,
For Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
49 “usiwahesabu wale wa kabila la Lawi wala kuwajumuisha kwenye jumla ya watu wa Israeli.
“Only the tribe of Levi [United with] you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel [God prevails];
50 Badala yake, waagize Walawi kuliangalia hema la amri za agano, na kuangalia mapambo ya hema na vyote vilivyomo. Walawi watalazimika kulibeba hema na lazima wayabebe mapambo ya hema. Lazima waliangalie hema na kuyatengeneza mazingira yake. Wataiangalia masikani na kuzitengeneza kambi zinazolizunguka.
but appoint the Levites [Descendants of United with] over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.
51 Kila hema litakapotakiwa kuhamishiwa eneo jingine, Walawi ndio watakaolipeleka pale. Na kila hema litakapotakiwa kusimamishwa, Walawi ndio watakao lisimamisha. Na mgeni yeyote atakayelisogelea hema lazima auawe.
When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
52 Wakati watu wa Israeli watakaposimamisha hema zao, kila mwanaume lazima awe karibu na bango la jeshi lake.
The children of Israel [God prevails] shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.
53 Hata hivyo Walawi lazima waweke hema zao kuizunguka hiyo masikani ya amri za agano ili kwamba hasira yangu isije ikawaka juu ya wana wa Israeli. Walawi lazima wailinde hiyo masikani ya amri za agano.”
But the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails]: and the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Wana wa Israeli walifanya yote haya. Walifanya yote ambayo BWANA aliagiza kupitia Musa.
Thus the children of Israel [God prevails] did. According to all that Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out], so they did.
