Kwan 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The LORD 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 to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
3 Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as the LORD 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.
This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The LORD 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.
You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse 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.
Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 Kel jo-Lawi e nyim Hemb Romo kendo ichok oganda duto mar dhood Israel.
You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Nyaka ikel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo jo-Israel nyaka oyie lwetgi kuomgi.
You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay 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 shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
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.
The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Ket jo-Lawi ochungʼ e nyim Harun kod yawuote bangʼe ichiwgi kaka misango mifwayo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
14 Ma e kaka onego iwal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko mondo obed maga.
Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
15 “Bangʼ ka isepwodho jo-Lawi kendo ichiwogi kaka misango mifwayo, to nyaka gibi mondo gitim tijgi e Hemb Romo.
"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall 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 to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to 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 man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 Bende aseketo jo-Lawi duto obedo e lo yawuowi makayo e Israel.
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.”
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do 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 come near to the sanctuary."
20 Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto notimone jo-Lawi gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did 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.
The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; 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.
After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
The LORD 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 belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
25 to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, 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 shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."
