Kwan 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
2 “Wuo gi Harun kendo iwachne kama: ‘Ka iketo teyni abiriyo kuonde mowinjore, to nyaka ler margi meny nyim rachung taya.’”
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3 Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
4 Ma e kaka rachung taya nolosi: Nolose gi dhahabu mothedhi chakre e bwoye nyaka wiye malo. Rachung taya nolosi mana kaka ranyisi mane Jehova Nyasaye osenyiso Musa.
And this was the work of the candlestick: [it was] of beaten gold; from its base to its flowers was it beaten work; according to the form which Jehovah had shewn Moses, so had he made the candlestick.
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Wal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko kendo pwodhgi gibed maler.
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Kipwodhogi, to itim kama: Kwo pi mipwodhogigo kuomgi; bangʼe giliel yie dendgi duto kendo giluok lepgi, eka gibed joma opwodhi.
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them water of purification from sin; and they shall pass the razor over all their flesh, and shall wash their garments, and make themselves clean.
8 Nyisgi gikaw nyarwath kaachiel gi misango mar cham mar mogo mayom moru gi mo; bangʼe ikaw nyarwath matin mar ariyo kaka misango mar golo richo.
And they shall take a young bullock and its oblation of fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
9 Kel jo-Lawi e nyim Hemb Romo kendo ichok oganda duto mar dhood Israel.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt gather together the whole assembly of the children of Israel.
10 Nyaka ikel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo jo-Israel nyaka oyie lwetgi kuomgi.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before Jehovah; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
11 Harun nyaka kel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo koa kuom jo-Israel, mondo omi gibed moikore ne tij Jehova Nyasaye.
And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Jehovah from the children of Israel, and they shall perform the service of Jehovah.
12 “Bangʼ ka jo-Lawi oseketo lwetgi ewi rwedhigo, to chiw achiel kuomgi ne Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mar golo richo, to machielo chiw kaka misango miwangʼo pep mipwodhogo jo-Lawi mondo ngʼwon-nigi.
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and thou shalt offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, to Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Ket jo-Lawi ochungʼ e nyim Harun kod yawuote bangʼe ichiwgi kaka misango mifwayo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave-offering to Jehovah.
14 Ma e kaka onego iwal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko mondo obed maga.
And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, that the Levites may be mine.
15 “Bangʼ ka isepwodho jo-Lawi kendo ichiwogi kaka misango mifwayo, to nyaka gibi mondo gitim tijgi e Hemb Romo.
And afterwards shall the Levites come in to do the service of the tent of meeting. And thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them as a wave-offering.
16 Gin e jo-Israel manyaka chiw chuth ne an. Asekawogi kaka meka awuon e lo kayo ma en nyodo mokwongo ma wuowi mar ja-Israel.
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of every one that breaketh open the womb, instead of every firstborn among the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17 Nyathi moro amora ma wuowi mokwongo ma ja-Israel bed ni en dhano kata chiayo, en mara. Kane anego kayo duto man Misri, ne awalogi gibedo maga.
For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both of man and beast; on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed them to myself.
18 Bende aseketo jo-Lawi duto obedo e lo yawuowi makayo e Israel.
And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
19 Kuom jo-Israel duto, asechiwo jo-Lawi kaka mich ne Harun gi yawuote mondo giti tij lemo e Hemb Romo e lo jo-Israel kendo mondo gikelnegi resruok kuom masira manyalo mako jo-Israel ka gisudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo.”
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to perform the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel draw near to the sanctuary.
20 Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto notimone jo-Lawi gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
And Moses and Aaron, and all the assembly of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of Israel to them.
21 Jo-Lawi nopwodhore giwegi kendo negiluoko lepgi. Bangʼ mano Harun nochiwogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo mi notimonegi misango mondo opwodhgigo.
And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their garments; and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Bangʼ mano, jo-Lawi nobiro tiyo tijgi e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Harun kod yawuote. Negitimone jo-Lawi mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
And afterwards the Levites came in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
23 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Ma e kaka jo-Lawi biro tiyo: Joma chwo mahikgi piero ariyo gabich kata moloyo kanyo nobi mondo obed achiel kuom jotich e Hemb Romo,
This is that which concerneth the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward shall he come to labour in the work of the service of the tent of meeting.
25 to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
And from fifty years old he shall retire from the labour of the service, and shall serve no more;
26 Ginyalo konyo owetegi e tije mag Hemb Romo, to gin giwegi ok onego gimul tich moro amora. Ma e kaka ibiro pogo tije ne jo-Lawi.”
but he shall minister with his brethren in the tent of meeting, and keep the charge, but he shall not serve [in] the service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites with regard to their charges.
