Números 4

Ngā Mahi a ngā Tama o Kohata

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, i mea: 2 "Taua ngā tama a Kohata, i roto i ngā tama a Rīwai, tēnei hapū, tēnei hapū o rātou, i ngā whare o ō rātou mātua, 3 ngā mea e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, ngā mea katoa e uru ana ki te mahi, ki te mea i ngā mea o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga.

4 "Ko te mahi tēnei mā ngā tama a Kohata i roto i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ko ngā mea tino tapu. 5 Ā, ka maunu te puni, me haere a Ārona ki roto, rātou ko āna tama, ka tuku i te ārai hīpoki ki raro, ā, ka hīpoki iho ki te āka o te whakaaturanga. 6 Nā, ka makā iho te hīpoki ki runga, arā ngā hiako pateri, ā, ka uhi iho i tētahi kākahu ki runga, he mea purū katoa, ka kuhu i ngā amo.

7 "Me uhi anō ki te kākahu purū te tēpu taro aroaro, ka whakatakoto ai i ngā rīhi ki runga, me ngā koko, me ngā peihana, me ngā kapu hei ringihanga; hei runga anō hoki te taro pūmau takoto ai. 8 Ka uhi ki te kākahu ngangana, ka hīpoki ai ki te hiako pateri hei hīpoki mō runga, ka kuhu i ōna amo.

9 "Nā, ka mau rātou ki tētahi kākahu purū, ka hīpoki ai i te tūranga whakamārama, i ōna rama hoki, i ōna kuku, i ōna oko ngārahu, i ōna oko hinu katoa, i ngā mea e minita ai rātou ki reira. 10 Ka hoatu ai me ōna mea katoa ki roto ki te tākai, hei te mea hiako pateri, ka whakaeke ai ki runga ki te amo.

11 "Ā, me uhi iho e rātou he kākahu purū ki runga ki te āta kōura, ka hīpoki ai ki tētahi hīpoki hiako pateri, ka kuhu ai i ōna amo.

12 "Nā, ka mau ki ngā mea e minita ai rātou i te wāhi tapu, ka hoatu ki roto ki te kākahu purū, ka hīpoki ki tētahi hīpoki hiako pateri, ka whakaeke ki te amo.

13 "Nā, ka tahi atu rātou i ngā pungarehu o te āta, ka hīpoki ai ki te kākahu pāpura. 14 Me whakatakoto anō ki runga ōna oko katoa e minita ai rātou ki reira, ngā tahu kakara, ngā mārau kikokiko, ngā koko pungarehu, ngā peihana, ngā mea katoa o te āta; ka hīpoki ai ki te hīpoki hiako pateri, ka kuhu ai i ōna amo.

15 "Ā, ka oti i a Ārona rātou ko āna tama te hīpoki te wāhi tapu, me ngā mea katoa o te wāhi tapu, ina tata te puni te maunu; ka mutu, nā, ka haere mai ngā tama a Kohata ki te kauhoa. Otiia, kaua rātou e pā ki tētahi mea tapu kei mate rātou. Ko ēnei ngā mea a ngā tama a Kohata e mau ai o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga.

16 "Ā, ko tā Ereātara, ko tā te tama a te tohunga, a Ārona, e whakaaro ai, ko te hinu mō te whakamārama, ko te whakakakara reka, ko te whakahere totokore o tēnei rā, o tēnei rā, ko te hinu whakawahi, me te tirotiro i te tapenākara katoa, i ngā mea katoa hoki o reira, i te wāhi tapu, i ōna mea hoki.

17 "I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, i mea: 18 Kei hātepea atu e koutou te iwi o ngā hapū o ngā Kohati i roto i ngā Rīwaiti. 19 Engari, ko tēnei tā koutou e mea ai ki a rātou, kia ora ai rātou, kei mate, ina whakatata ki ngā mea tino tapu: me haere a Ārona rātou ko āna tama ki roto, ka whakarite ai i a rātou ki tāna mahi, ki tāna mahi, ki tāna amohanga, ki tāna amohanga. 20 Otiia, kaua rātou e haere ki roto ki te mātakitaki i te wāhi tapu ahakoa he wā poto, kei mate rātou."

Ngā Mahi a ngā Tama o Kerehona

21 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 22 "Taua hoki ngā tama a Kerehona, i ngā whare o ō rātou mātua, i ō rātou hapū. 23 Ko ngā mea e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ngā tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, āu e tatau ai; ko ngā mea katoa hoki e uru ana ki te mahi i ngā mahi o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga.

24 "Ko te mahi tēnei mā ngā hapū o ngā Kerehoni, ko te mahi, ko te amo. 25 Mā rātou hoki e amo ngā pā o te tapenākara, te tapenākara hoki o te whakaminenga, tōna hīpoki, me te hīpoki hiako pateri i waho ake, me te pā o te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; 26 me ngā pā o te marae, me te pā mō te whatitoka o te kūwaha o te marae, o tērā i te tapenākara, i te āta ā tawhio noa, me ngā aho, me ngā mea katoa mō te mahinga o aua mea, me ngā mea katoa i hangā mō aua mea; ko tā rātou mahi tēnā. 27 Kei a Ārona rātou ko āna tama te tikanga mō ngā mahi katoa a ngā tama a ngā Kerehoni, mō ā rātou amohanga katoa, mō ā rātou mahi katoa; mā koutou hoki e whakarite ki a rātou te tikanga mō ngā mea katoa e amo ai rātou. 28 Ko te mahi tēnei mā ngā hapū o ngā tama a Kerehona i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; ā, ko ngā tikanga mā rātou kei a Itamara tama a te tohunga, a Ārona."

Ngā Mahi a ngā Tama o Merari

29 "Ko ngā tama a Merari, me tatau rātou e koe i ō rātou hapū, i ngā whare o ō rātou mātua; 30 ko ngā mea e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, āu e tatau ai, ko ngā tāngata katoa e uru ana ki te mahi, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga. 31 Ā, ko te tikanga anō tēnei mō tā rātou e amo ai, i ā rātou mahinga katoa i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; ko ngā papa o te tapenākara, me ōna kaho, me ōna pou, me ōna tūranga pou; 32 me ngā pou o te marae ā tawhio noa, me ngā tūranga pou, me ngā titi, me ngā aho, me ngā mea katoa o aua mea, me ngā mea katoa o ēnā mahinga: me tatau ā-ingoa ngā mea kei a rātou nei te tikanga mō te amo. 33 Ko te mahi tēnei a ngā hapū o ngā tama a Merari, i ā rātou mahinga katoa i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, i raro i te ringa o Itamara tama a te tohunga, a Ārona."

Te Tauanga o ngā Rīwaiti

34 Nā, ka taua e Mohi rātou ko Ārona, ko ngā ariki o te whakaminenga, ngā tama a ngā Kohati, i ō rātou hapū, i ngā whare anō o ō rātou mātua, 35 ngā mea e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, ngā tāngata katoa i uru ki te mahi, ki te mahi i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga. 36 Ā, taua ake o rātou, i ō rātou hapū, e rua mano e whitu rau e rima tekau. 37 Ko ēnei i taua o ngā hapū o ngā Kohati, ko ngā tāngata hei mahi i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, i taua nei e Mohi rāua ko Ārona, pērā me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai, nā te ringa o Mohi.

42 Ā, taua ake o ngā hapū o ngā tama a Merari, i ō rātou hapū, i ngā whare o ō rātou mātua, 43 ngā mea hoki e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, ngā tāngata katoa i uru ki te mahi, hei mahi i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, 44 taua ake o rātou i ō rātou hapū, e toru mano e rua rau. 45 Ko ēnei i taua o ngā hapū o ngā tama a Merari, i taua nei e Mohi rāua ko Ārona, pērā me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai, nā te ringa o Mohi.

46 Ko ngā tāngata katoa o ngā Rīwaiti i taua, a Mohi rātou ko Ārona, ko ngā ariki o Īharaira i tatau ai, i ō rātou hapū, i ngā whare o ō rātou mātua, 47 ko ngā mea hoki e toru tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, ā tae noa ki ngā mea e rima tekau ō rātou tau, ko ngā tāngata katoa i uru ki te mahi i ngā mahi e mahia ana, ki te mahi hoki, ki te amoamo i roto i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; 48 taua ake o rātou e waru mano e rima rau e waru tekau. 49 Rite tonu ki tā Ihowā i whakahau ai te tauanga o rātou e te ringa o Mohi, tēnei, tēnei, me tāna mahi, me tāna amo.

Nā, poto ake rātou te tatau e ia, te pērā me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, 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. 4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things: 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, 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. 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: 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. 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: 10 and they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon the frame. 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: 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. 13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 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. 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. 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.

17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 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; 20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.

21 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 22 Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families; 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. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: 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, 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. 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. 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.

29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers’ houses; 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. 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, 32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses, 35 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting: 36 and those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers’ houses, 39 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting, 40 even those that were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah.

42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, 43 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting, 44 even those that were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 45 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses, 47 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting, 48 even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 49 According to the commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
