Brojevi 8
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Govori Aronu i reci mu: 'Kad budeš palio svjetionice, neka sedam svjetionica svijetli na prednjoj strani svijećnjaka.'”
“Speak to Aaron, and you have said to him: In your causing the lights to go up, the seven lights give light toward the front of the face of the lampstand.”
3 Aron i učini tako: smjesti svjetionice na prednju stranu svijećnjaka, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.
And Aaron does so; he has caused its lights to go up toward the front of the face of the lampstand, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
4 Svijećnjak bijaše skovan od zlata; skovan od svoga podnožja do svoje čaške. Svijećnjak je bio napravljen prema uzorku što ga je Jahve pokazao Mojsiju.
And this [is] the work of the lampstand: beaten work of gold; from its thigh to its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which YHWH showed Moses, so he has made the lampstand.
5 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Uzmi levite između Izraelaca i očisti ih!
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you have cleansed them.
7 Ovako s njima postupi da ih očistiš: poškropi ih vodom za okajavanje; a oni neka se obriju po svemu svome tijelu, neka operu svoju odjeću i bit će čisti.
And thus you do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle waters of atonement on them, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
8 Neka zatim uzmu jednog junca i prinosnicu od najboljeg brašna, zamiješena u ulju. A ti uzmi drugog junca za okajnicu.
and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, and you take a second bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering;
9 Dovedi onda levite pred Šator sastanka i skupi svu izraelsku zajednicu.
and you have brought the Levites near before the Tent of Meeting, and you have assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel,
10 Kad dovedeš levite pred Jahvu, neka Izraelci stave na njih svoje ruke.
and you have brought the Levites near before YHWH, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
11 Neka zatim Aron prinese levite, kao prikaznicu pred Jahvom, u ime Izraelaca. Tako će njihov posao biti da služe Jahvi.
and Aaron has waved the Levites [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, from the sons of Israel, and they have been [consecrated] for doing the service of YHWH.
12 Neka potom leviti stave svoje ruke juncima na glave; onda jednoga prinesi kao okajnicu, a drugoga kao paljenicu Jahvi, da se izvrši obred pomirenja nad levitima.
And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering to YHWH, to atone for the Levites.
13 Stavivši levite pred Arona i njegove sinove, prikaži ih Jahvi žrtvom prikaznicom.
And you have caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering to YHWH;
14 Odvoji tako levite između Izraelaca da budu moji.
and you have separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
15 Poslije toga, pošto ih očistiš i prineseš žrtvom prikaznicom, neka leviti uđu u službu Šatora sastanka.
and afterward the Levites come in to serve the Tent of Meeting, and you have cleansed them, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering.
16 Jer oni su između Izraelaca meni potpuno darovani; njih sam sebi uzeo namjesto svih koji otvaraju majčinu utrobu, svih izraelskih prvorođenaca.
For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who opens any womb—the firstborn of all; I have taken them for Myself from the sons of Israel;
17 Svako, naime, prvorođenče među Izraelcima, kako čedo tako i živinče, moje je; sebi sam ih posvetio onoga dana kad sam pobio svu prvorođenčad u zemlji egipatskoj.
for every firstborn among the sons of Israel [is] Mine, among man and among beast; in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
18 Tako sam uzeo levite namjesto svih izraelskih prvorođenaca.
and I take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
19 I predao sam levite između Izraelaca kao dar Aronu i njegovim sinovima da mjesto Izraelaca obavljaju službu u Šatoru sastanka; da nad njima obavljaju obred pomirenja, tako da kakva nedaća ne bi pogodila Izraelce što bi se približili Svetištu.”
And I give the Levites [as] gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel drawing near to the holy place.”
20 Mojsije, Aron i sva izraelska zajednica učine tako s levitima; kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju za levite, tako im Izraelci i učine.
And Moses does—Aaron also, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel—to the Levites according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so the sons of Israel have done to them.
21 Leviti se očiste i operu svoju odjeću; onda ih Aron prinese pred Jahvu žrtvom prikaznicom. Aron nad njima obavi obred pomirenja da ih očisti.
And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waves them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, and Aaron makes atonement for them to cleanse them,
22 Poslije toga uđu leviti u službu u Šator sastanka, u nazočnosti Arona i njegovih sinova. Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju za levite, tako su s njima i uradili.
and afterward the Levites have gone in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
23 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
24 “I ovo se tiče levita: od dvadeset i pet godina naviše neka leviti po redu preuzimaju službu u Šatoru sastanka.
“This [is] who [is] for the Levites: from a son of twenty-five years and upward he goes in to serve the host in the service of the Tent of Meeting,
25 A kad kome bude pedeset godina, neka istupi iz službe i neka više ne služi.
and from a son of fifty years he returns from the host of the service, and does not serve anymore,
26 Ali može pomagati svojoj braći u vršenju njihovih dužnosti u Šatoru sastanka, no sam ne mora vršiti službe. Tako postupi prema levitima za njihove dužnosti!”
and he has ministered with his brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and does not do service; thus you do to the Levites concerning their charge.”
