For the Lord had told Moses,

49 O tiia kaua e taua te iwi o Riwai, kaua ano e tirohia to ratou tokomaha i roto i nga tama a Iharaira:

“Only the family of Levi should not be numbered. Do not add their number among the sons of Israel.

50 E ngari me whakarite nga Riwaiti mo te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga, mo ona oko katoa, mo ona mea katoa hoki: ma ratou te tapenakara e amo, me ona oko katoa; a me mahi ki reira, me noho hoki ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara.

But have the Levites take care of the meeting tent of the Law, and all that is in it, and all that belongs to it. They will carry the meeting tent and all that goes in it. They will take care of it, and set up their tents around it.

51 A , ka maunu atu te tapenakara, ma nga Riwaiti e wahi iho; ka whakaturia ano hoki te tapenakara, ma nga Riwaiti e whakatu: a, ko te tangata ke e whakatata atu, ka whakamatea.

When the meeting tent is to be moved, the Levites will take it down. When the meeting tent is brought to a place to stay, the Levites will set it up. If anyone else comes near, he must be put to death.

52 M e whakatu ano o ratou teneti e nga tama a Iharaira ki tona puni, ki tona puni, ki tona kara, ki tona kara, puta noa i o ratou ope.

The people of Israel will set up their tents by their own groups and armies, each man by his own flag.

53 K o nga Riwaiti ia, me whakatu o ratou ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga, kei puta he riri ki te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira: a ma nga Riwaiti e tiaki te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga.

But the Levites will set up their tents around the meeting tent of the Law. Then no anger will come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must take care of the meeting tent of the Law.”

54 N a i pera nga tama a Iharaira; rite tonu ki ta Ihowa katoa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi ta ratou mahi.

So the people of Israel did this. They did everything the Lord had told Moses.
