The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Porro Levitæ per gyrum tabernaculi figent tentoria, ne fiat indignatio super multitudinem filiorum Israël, et excubabunt in custodiis tabernaculi testimonii.
Septuagint (Swete)
οἱ δὲ Λευεῖται παρεμβαλέτωσαν ἐναντίον Κυρίου κύκλῳ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἁμάρτημα ἐν υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ. καὶ φυλάξουσιν οἱ Λευεῖται αὐτοὶ τὴν φυλακὴν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
Hebrew (WLC)
וְהַלְוִיִּ֞ם יַחֲנ֤וּ סָבִיב֙ לְמִשְׁכַּ֣ן הָעֵדֻ֔ת וְלֹֽא יִהְיֶ֣ה קֶ֔צֶף עַל עֲדַ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשָׁמְרוּ֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם אֶת מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת מִשְׁכַּ֥ן הָעֵדֽוּת

Haydock's commentary

Watch. Lest any thing should offer any indecency to the tabernacle, and thus provoke God's indignation. (Haydock)
