Numbers 8
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
2 “Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’”
Kaži Aronu i reci mu: kad zapališ žiške, sedam žižaka neka svijetli sprijed na svijetnjaku.
3 And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
I uèini Aron tako, i zapali žiške da svijetle sprijed na svijetnjaku, kao što Gospod zapovjedi Mojsiju.
4 This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.
A svijetnjak bješe skovan od zlata, i stupac mu i cvijeæe skovano; po prilici koju pokaza Gospod Mojsiju tako bješe naèinio svijetnjak.
5 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
6 “Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
Uzmi Levite izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, i oèisti ih.
7 This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
A uèini im ovo da ih oèistiš: pokropi ih vodom oèišæenja, a oni neka obriju sve tijelo svoje i operu haljine svoje, i oèistiæe se.
8 Then have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.
Potom neka uzmu tele s darom uz njega, bijelim brašnom pomiješanim s uljem; i drugo tele uzmi za grijeh.
9 Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel.
Pa dovedi Levite pred šator od sastanka, i sazovi sav zbor sinova Izrailjevijeh.
10 You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.
I dovedi Levite pred Gospoda, i neka metnu sinovi Izrailjevi ruke svoje na Levite.
11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD.
I Aron neka prinese Levite Gospodu za prinos od sinova Izrailjevijeh da vrše službu Gospodu.
12 And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.
A Leviti neka metnu ruke svoje na glave teocima, pa prinesi jedno tele za grijeh a drugo na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu da se oèiste Leviti.
13 You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.
I postavi Levite pred Aronom i sinovima njegovijem, i prinesi ih za prinos Gospodu.
14 In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.
I odvoj Levite izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh da budu moji Leviti.
15 After you have cleansed them and presented them as a wave offering, they may come to serve at the Tent of Meeting.
A poslije neka doðu Leviti da služe u šatoru od sastanka, kad ih oèistiš i prineseš za prinos.
16 For the Levites have been wholly given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself in place of all who come first from the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.
Jer su meni dani izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh; za sve što otvora matericu, za sve prvence izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh uzeh njih.
17 For every firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set them apart for Myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.
Jer je moj svaki prvenac meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem i od ljudi i od stoke; onaj dan kad pobih sve prvence u zemlji Misirskoj, posvetio sam ih sebi.
18 But I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
A Levite uzeh za sve prvence sinova Izrailjevijeh.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites, to perform the service for the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting and to make atonement on their behalf, so that no plague will come against the Israelites when they approach the sanctuary.”
I dadoh Levite na dar Aronu i sinovima njegovijem izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, da služe mjesto sinova Izrailjevijeh u šatoru od sastanka, i da budu otkup za sinove Izrailjeve, da ne bi dolazio pomor na sinove Izrailjeve, kad bi pristupali k svetinji sinovi Izrailjevi.
20 So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.
I uèini Mojsije i Aron i sav zbor sinova Izrailjevijeh Levitima sve što zapovjedi Gospod Mojsiju za Levite, tako im uèiniše sinovi Izrailjevi.
21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.
I oèistiše se Leviti, i opraše haljine svoje, i prinese ih Aron za prinos pred Gospodom, i oèisti ih Aron da bi bili èisti.
22 After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
I onda tek pristupiše Leviti da vrše službu svoju u šatoru od sastanka pred Aronom i pred sinovima njegovijem; kao što zapovjedi Gospod Mojsiju za Levite, tako im uèiniše.
23 And the LORD said to Moses,
I opet reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years of age or older shall enter to perform the service in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
I ovo je za Levite: od dvadeset i pet godina i više neka stupaju u službu da služe u šatoru od sastanka.
25 But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.
A kad kome bude pedeset godina, neka izlazi iz te službe i više neka ne služi.
26 After that, they may assist their brothers in fulfilling their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves are not to do the work. This is how you are to assign responsibilities to the Levites.”
Ali neka služi braæi svojoj u šatoru od sastanka radeæi što treba raditi, a sam neka ne vrši službe. Tako uèini Levitima za poslove njihove.
