Kwan 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And YHWH speaks 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 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 Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
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 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 [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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Wal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko kendo pwodhgi gibed maler.
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you have cleansed them.
7 Kipwodhogi, to itim kama: Kwo pi mipwodhogigo kuomgi; bangʼe giliel yie dendgi duto kendo giluok lepgi, eka gibed joma opwodhi.
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 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 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 Kel jo-Lawi e nyim Hemb Romo kendo ichok oganda duto mar dhood Israel.
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 Nyaka ikel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo jo-Israel nyaka oyie lwetgi kuomgi.
and you have brought the Levites near before YHWH, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on 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 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 “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 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 Ket jo-Lawi ochungʼ e nyim Harun kod yawuote bangʼe ichiwgi kaka misango mifwayo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
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 Ma e kaka onego iwal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko mondo obed maga.
and you have separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
15 “Bangʼ ka isepwodho jo-Lawi kendo ichiwogi kaka misango mifwayo, to nyaka gibi mondo gitim tijgi e Hemb Romo.
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 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 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 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 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 Bende aseketo jo-Lawi duto obedo e lo yawuowi makayo e Israel.
and I take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons 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 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 Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto notimone jo-Lawi gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
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 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 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 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 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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And YHWH speaks 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] 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 to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
and from a son of fifty years he returns from the host of the service, and does not serve anymore,
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.”
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.”
