لاويّين 8

١ 1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

٢ 2 «أَحْضِرْ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ وَثِيَابَهُمْ وَدُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَثَوْرَ ذَبِيحَةِ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَالْكَبْشَيْنِ وَسَلَّ الْفَطِيرِ،

“Bring Aaron and his sons, and bring their (special clothes/clothes [that they will wear while they do the work of priests)], the oil for anointing them, the bull to be offered to cause them to become forgiven for the sins they have committed, the two rams [to be slaughtered], and the basket containing bread made without yeast.

٣ 3 وَاجْمَعْ سَائِرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ».

Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”

٤ 4 فَنَفَّذَ مُوسَى أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَاجْتَمَعَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ،

Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هَذَا مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ».

Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”

٦ 6 فَقَدَّمَ مُوسَى هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ وَغَسَّلَهُمْ بِمَاءٍ،

Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.

٧ 7 وَأَلْبَسَ هَرُونَ الْقَمِيصَ وَنَطَّقَهُ بِالْحِزَامِ، وَكَسَاهُ بِالْجُبَّةِ، وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّدَاءَ، وَنَطَّقَهُ بِحِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ وَشَدَّهُ بِهِ،

He/I put the special tunic/shirt on Aaron, tied the sash/waistband around him, put on him the special robe, and put on him the sacred vest/apron. He/I fastened the sacred vest/apron around him, using the skillfully woven sash.

٨ 8 وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ الصُّدْرَةَ، وَثَبَّتَ فِي الصُّدْرَةِ الْأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ،

He/I put the sacred pouch on his chest and put into it the two stones for him to use to find out what God wants.

٩ 9 وَوَضَعَ مُوسَى عَلَى رَأْسِ هَرُونَ الْعِمَامَةَ، وَعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهَا فَوْقَ الْجَبْهَةِ صَفِيحَةَ الذَّهَبِ، الإِكْلِيلَ الْمُقَدَّسَ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

Then he/I wrapped the turban around Aaron’s head, and fastened on the front of it the gold ornament, the object that showed that he was dedicated to God, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مُوسَى دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَمَسَحَ الْمَسْكِنَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهِ وَقَدَّسَهُ لِلرَّبِّ.

Then Moses/I took the olive oil and anointed the sacred tent and everything in it, and dedicated them [to Yahweh].

١١ 11 ثُمَّ رَشَّ مِنَ الدُّهْنِ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَمَسَحَ الْمَذْبَحَ وَجَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ وَحَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتَهُ لِتَقْدِيسِهَا،

He/I sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He/I anointed the altar and all the things used with it, and its huge washbasin and its stand, to dedicate them to Yahweh.

١٢ 12 وَصَبَّ مِنْ دُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ هَرُونَ وَمَسَحَهُ تَكْرِيساً لَهُ.

He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَ مُوسَى أَبْنَاءَ هَرُونَ وَأَلْبَسَهُمْ أَقْمِصَةً، وَنَطَّقَهُمْ بِأَحْزِمَةٍ، وَعَصَبَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمِ الْقَلانِسَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

Then he/I brought forward Aaron’s sons. He/I put tunics/shirts on them, tied sashes/waistbands around them, and wrapped turbans around their heads, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

١٤ 14 ثُمَّ أَتَى بِثَوْرِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، فَوَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ،

Then he/I brought the bull for the offering to cause people to be forgiven for the sins that have committed. Then Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull’s head.

١٥ 15 فَذَبَحَهُ مُوسَى، وَأَخَذَ الدَّمَ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَعَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ نَفْسِهِ لِيُقَدِّسَهُ. ثُمَّ صَبَّ بَقِيَّةَ الدَّمِ عِنْدَ قَاعِدَتِهِ، وَكَرَّسَهُ تَكْفِيراً عَنْهُ.

Then Moses/I slaughtered the bull, [caught some of its blood in a bowl], and with his/my finger put some of that blood on the projections at the corners of the altar, to purify the altar. He/I poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. By doing that, he/I caused it to be a suitable place for burning sacrifices for sin.

١٦ 16 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى شَحْمَ أَعْضَاءِ الثَّوْرِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَرَارَةَ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَشَحْمَهُمَا وَأَحْرَقَهَا كُلَّهَا عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

Moses/I took all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, including the liver and kidneys, and burned them on the altar.

١٧ 17 وَأَمَّا جِلْدُ الثَّوْرِ وَلَحْمُهُ وَفَرْثُهُ فَأَحْرَقَهَا بِنَارٍ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

He/I took the rest of the bull, including the hide and intestines, and burned them outside the camp, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ كَبْشَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، فَوَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ،

Then he/I brought the ram for the offering that would be completely burned [on the altar], and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

١٩ 19 فَذَبَحَهُ مُوسَى وَرَشَّ الدَّمَ عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ،

Then Moses/I slaughtered the ram and sprinkled its blood on all sides of the altar.

٢٠ 20 وَقَطَّعَ الْكَبْشَ إِلَى أَجْزَائِهِ، ثُمَّ أَحْرَقَ الرَّأْسَ وَالأَجْزَاءَ وَالشَّحْمَ.

He/I cut the ram into pieces and washed the inner parts and hind legs. Then he/I put the head, the fat, and the other parts of the ram on the altar. As it burned, the aroma of the smoke was pleasing to Yahweh. It was an offering to Yahweh that was burned, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا أَمْعَاؤُهُ وَأَكَارِعُهُ فَقَدْ غَسَلَهَا بِمَاءٍ. وَأَحْرَقَ مُوسَى كُلَّ الْكَبْشِ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، فَكَانَ مُحْرَقَةً لِرِضَى الرَّبِّ وَسُرُورِهِ. وَقُودٌ هُوَ لِلرَّبِّ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَ الْكَبْشَ الثَّانِي، كَبْشَ التَّكْرِيسِ، فَوَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ،

Then he/I brought the other ram, the one for consecrating the priests, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

٢٣ 23 فَذَبَحَهُ مُوسَى، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ دَمِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى شَحْمَةِ أُذْنِ هَرُونَ الْيُمْنَى، وَعَلَى إِبْهَامِ يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَإِبْهَامِ رِجْلِهِ الْيُمْنَى.

Moses/I slaughtered that ram, [drained some of its blood in a bowl], and put some of that blood on the lobes of the right ears, the thumbs of the right hands, and the big toes of the right feet of Aaron and his sons [to indicate that what they listened to and what they did and where they went should be directed by Yahweh].

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ مُوسَى أَبْنَاءَ هَرُونَ وَوَضَعَ مِنَ الدَّمِ عَلَى شَحْمِ آذَانِهِمِ الْيُمْنَى، وَعَلَى أَبَاهِمِ أَيْدِيهِمِ الْيُمْنَى، وَعَلَى أَبَاهِمِ أَرْجُلِهِمِ الْيُمْنَى، وَرَشَّ بَقِيَّةَ الدَّمِ عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ.

٢٥ 25 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شَحْمَ الأَلْيَةِ وَكُلَّ شَحْمِ الأَعْضَاءِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ وَالْمَرَارَةَ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَشَحْمَهُمَا وَالسَّاقَ الْيُمْنَى،

He/I picked up all the fat of the ram, its fat tail, the fat that covered the inner parts, including the fat that covered the liver and kidneys, and the right thigh of the ram.

٢٦ 26 وَأَخَذَ مِنْ سَلِّ الْفَطِيرِ الَّذِي فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ قُرْصَ فَطِيرٍ وَاحِداً، وَكَعْكَةً وَاحِدَةً مَعْجُونَةً بِزَيْتٍ وَرِقَاقَةً، وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى الشَّحْمِ وَعَلَى السَّاقِ الْيُمْنَى،

Then from the basket containing the bread that was made without yeast, the bread which had been dedicated to Yahweh, he/I picked up one loaf of bread [made without olive oil], and one loaf that was [made by mixing the flour] with olive oil, and one wafer. He/I put those on top of the portions of fat, and put them into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they lifted them up in the presence of Yahweh [to indicate that it was an offering that belonged to him].

٢٧ 27 وَوَضَعَهَا جَمِيعاً عَلَى كَفَّيْ هَرُونَ وَأَكُفِّ أَبْنَائِهِ لِيُرَجِّحُوهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

٢٨ 28 ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا مُوسَى عَنْ أَكُفِّهِمْ وَأَحْرَقَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، فَكَانَتْ قُرْبَانَ تَكْرِيسٍ لِرِضَى الرَّبِّ وَسُرُورِهِ. إِنَّهَا مُحْرَقَةٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

Then Moses/I took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar. That was the offering that was burned to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. And the aroma while it burned was pleasing to Yahweh.

٢٩ 29 وَتَنَاوَلَ مُوسَى صَدْرَ كَبْشِ التَّكْرِيسِ وَرَجَّحَهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَكَانَ الصَّدْرُ نَصِيبَ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

Moses/I also took the breast of the second ram and lifted it up, as Yahweh had commanded. The breast was Moses’/my share of the ram that was sacrificed to dedicate the priests.

٣٠ 30 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مُوسَى بَعْضَ دُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَبَعْضَ الدَّمِ الَّذِي عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَرَشَّهَا عَلَى هَرُونَ وَثِيَابِهِ، وَعَلَى أَبْنَاءِ هَرُونَ وَثِيَابِهِمْ، فَقَدَّسَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مَعَ مَلابِسِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ.

Then Moses/I took some of the olive oil for anointing [Aaron and his sons], and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. By doing that, he/I consecrated Aaron and his sons and their clothes.

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ: «اطْبُخُوا اللَّحْمَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَكُلُوهُ هُنَاكَ مَعَ خُبْزِ سَلِّ التَّكْرِيسِ، كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ أَلّا يَأْكُلَهُ سِوَى هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat [of the second ram] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket, like I told you to do.

٣٢ 32 وَمَا تَبَقَّى مِنَ اللَّحْمِ وَالْخُبْزِ تُحْرِقُونَهُ بِنَارٍ.

Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.

٣٣ 33 وَلا تُفَارِقُوا مَدْخَلَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، إِلَى يَوْمِ اكْتِمَالِ تَكْرِيسِكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُكَرِّسُكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

The time for you to be set apart as priests will be seven days, so do not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days.

٣٤ 34 إِنَّ مَا جَرَى الْيَوْمَ هُوَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ تَكْفِيراً عَنْكُمْ.

What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.

٣٥ 35 فَامْكُثُوا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، عَامِلِينَ شَعَائِرَ الرَّبِّ، فَلا تَمُوتُوا لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا أَوْصَيْتُ بِهِ».

You must stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days and seven nights and do what Yahweh requires, in order that you will not die [because of disobeying him. I am telling you that] because that is what Yahweh has commanded me to tell you.”

٣٦ 36 فَنَفَّذَ هَروُنُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى.

So Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell them.
