⁴⁹“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

⁴⁹Nur la tribon de Levi ne prikalkulu, kaj ne metu ilian nombron mezen de la Izraelidoj.

⁵⁰but appoint the Levites 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.

⁵⁰Sed vi komisiu al la Levidoj la tabernaklon de atesto kaj cxiujn gxiajn objektojn, kaj cxion, kio apartenas al gxi; ili portadu la tabernaklon kaj cxiujn gxiajn objektojn, kaj ili priservu gxin, kaj cxirkaux la tabernaklo ili starigu siajn tendojn.

⁵¹When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

⁵¹Kaj kiam la tabernaklo devos forlasi sian lokon, tiam la Levidoj gxin levu; kaj kiam la tabernaklo devos resti sur loko, tiam la Levidoj gxin starigu; sed se laiko alproksimigxos, li estu mortigita.

⁵²The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

⁵²Kaj la Izraelidoj arangxos sin cxiu en sia tendaro kaj cxiu apud sia standardo, laux siaj tacxmentoj.

⁵³But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

⁵³Sed la Levidoj starigu siajn tendojn cxirkaux la tabernaklo de atesto, por ke ne trafu kolero la komunumon de la Izraelidoj; kaj la Levidoj plenumos la gardadon de la tabernaklo de atesto.

⁵⁴Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.

⁵⁴Kaj tiel faris la Izraelidoj; konforme al cxio, kion la Eternulo ordonis al Moseo, tiel ili faris.
