Batabani ba Kokasi

Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, (A)“Mubale batabani ba Kokasi abava mu kika ky’Abaleevi, ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri. (B)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 ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

(C)“Gino gye mirimu eginaakolwanga batabani ba Kokasi: nga gya kulabirira ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo. (D)Olusiisira bwe lunaabanga lusitula, Alooni ne batabani be banaayingiranga mu Weema ya Mukama, ne batimbulula eggigi ery’olutimbe ne balibikka ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano. (E)Okwo banaabikkangako amaliba ga lukwata, kuno ne babikkako olugoye olwa bbululu omuka, ne balyoka basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.

(F)“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. Banaayaliirangako ekitambaala ekimyufu ennyo, ne bakibikkako amaliba ga lukwata; ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyayo.

(G)“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 Ekikondo n’ebigenderako byonna binaasibibwanga mu maliba ga lukwata ne biteekebwa ku musituliro.

11 (H)“Banaayaliiranga olugoye olwa bbululu ku kyoto ekya zaabu, okwo ne babikkako amaliba ga lukwata, ne basonsekamu emisituliro gyakyo.

12 “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 (I)Ekyoto banaakiggyangamu evvu ne bakibikkako olugoye olwa ffulungu; 14 (J)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 (K)“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 ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu batabani ba Kokasi bye baneetikkanga.

16 (L)“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 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, 18 “Mwegendereze ab’omu mpya z’ennyumba z’Abakokasi baleme okukutulwa ku kika ky’Abaleevi. 19 (M)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 (N)Naye Abakokasi tebaayingirenga munda kutunula ku bintu ebitukuvu, wadde n’eddakiika emu, balemenga okufa.”

Batabani ba Gerusoni

21 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, 22 “Bala ne batabani ba Gerusoni ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri. 23 (O)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 ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

24 “Gino gye mirimu eginaakolebwanga ab’omu mpya z’Abagerusoni mu kuweereza era ne mu kwetikka emigugu: 25 (P)Baneetikkanga entimbe ez’omu Weema ya Mukama, y’Eweema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ebigibikkako, n’amaliba aga lukwata agabikkibwa kungulu kwayo, n’entimbe ez’omu mulyango gwa Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, 26 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 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 (Q)Obwo bwe buweereza bwa batabani ba Gerusoni nga bukwata ku Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Bye banaakolanga binaalabirirwanga Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.

Batabani ba Merali

29 (R)“Batabani ba Merali nabo babale ng’empya zaabwe n’ennyumba z’abakadde baabwe bwe ziri. 30 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 ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. 31 (S)Gino gye ginaabanga emirimu gyabwe egikwata ku Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu: Okusitula omudaala gwa Weema ya Mukama, n’embaawo zaayo, n’empagi n’ebibya mwe zituula, 32 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 Egyo gye ginaabanga emirimu gy’omu mpya z’abaana ba Merali nga bali mu buweereza bwabwe obwa Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakulemberwa Isamaali mutabani wa Alooni kabona.”

The Kohathites

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “Take a census(A) of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families. Count(B) all the men from thirty to fifty years of age(C) who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.

“This is the work(D) of the Kohathites(E) at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things.(F) When the camp is to move,(G) Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain(H) and put it over the ark of the covenant law.(I) Then they are to cover the curtain with a durable leather,[a](J) spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles(K) in place.

“Over the table of the Presence(L) they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings;(M) the bread that is continually there(N) is to remain on it. They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles(O) in place.

“They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays,(P) and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it. 10 Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.(Q)

11 “Over the gold altar(R) they are to spread a blue cloth and cover that with the durable leather and put the poles(S) in place.

12 “They are to take all the articles(T) used for ministering in the sanctuary, wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with the durable leather and put them on a carrying frame.(U)

13 “They are to remove the ashes(V) from the bronze altar(W) and spread a purple cloth over it. 14 Then they are to place on it all the utensils(X) used for ministering at the altar, including the firepans,(Y) meat forks,(Z) shovels(AA) and sprinkling bowls.(AB) Over it they are to spread a covering of the durable leather and put the poles(AC) in place.

15 “After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move,(AD) only then are the Kohathites(AE) to come and do the carrying.(AF) But they must not touch the holy things(AG) or they will die.(AH) The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the tent of meeting.

16 “Eleazar(AI) son of Aaron, the priest, is to have charge of the oil for the light,(AJ) the fragrant incense,(AK) the regular grain offering(AL) and the anointing oil. He is to be in charge of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and articles.”

17 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 18 “See that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites. 19 So that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things,(AM) do this for them: Aaron and his sons(AN) are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry.(AO) 20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look(AP) at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”

The Gershonites

21 The Lord said to Moses, 22 “Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans. 23 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age(AQ) who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.

24 “This is the service of the Gershonite clans in their carrying and their other work: 25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle,(AR) that is, the tent of meeting,(AS) its covering(AT) and its outer covering of durable leather, the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting, 26 the curtains of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar,(AU) the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard,(AV) the ropes and all the equipment(AW) used in the service of the tent. The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things. 27 All their service, whether carrying or doing other work, is to be done under the direction of Aaron and his sons.(AX) You shall assign to them as their responsibility(AY) all they are to carry. 28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans(AZ) at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar(BA) son of Aaron, the priest.

The Merarites

29 “Count(BB) the Merarites by their clans and families.(BC) 30 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting. 31 As part of all their service at the tent, they are to carry the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts and bases,(BD) 32 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, ropes,(BE) all their equipment and everything related to their use. Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry. 33 This is the service of the Merarite clans as they work at the tent of meeting under the direction of Ithamar(BF) son of Aaron, the priest.”
