Numbers 8
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.
-Pale ak Arawon. W'a di l' konsa: Lè l'ap fè moute sèt ti lanp yo sou pye gwo lanp sèt branch lan, ranje yo yon jan pou yo klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
3 And Aaron did so; he put the lights in their places so that they gave light in front of the support, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
Arawon swiv lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la: li fè moute ti lanp yo pou yo ka klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
4 The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.
Men ki jan gwo lanp lan te fèt: tout kò a nèt te fèt ak pi bon lò ki genyen. Yo te fè depi pye gwo lanp lan jouk flè yo nan yon sèl gwo moso lò, dapre modèl Seyè a te fè Moyiz wè nan vizyon an.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
6 Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.
-Wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la. Mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
7 And this is how you are to make them clean: let the holy water which takes away sin be put on them, and let the hair all over their bodies be cut off with a sharp blade, and let their clothing be washed and their bodies made clean.
Men ki jan w'a fè l': W'a pran nan dlo pou wete peche a, w'a voye l' sou yo. Apre sa, y'a koupe cheve ak pwal sou tout kò yo nèt, epi y'a lave rad ki sou yo. Se konsa y'a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
8 Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo va pran yon jenn ti towo ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden ki pou mache avè l' la, ki vle di ti gout farin frans melanje ak lwil. Ou menm, w'a pran yon dezyèm ti towo tou jenn pou ou touye pou repare sa yo fè ki mal.
9 And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:
Apre sa, w'a fè moun Levi yo pwoche dèvan pòt Tant Randevou a, epi w'a fè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo sanble.
10 And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:
Y'a poze men yo sou tèt moun Levi yo.
11 And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.
Lèfini, Arawon va pran moun Levi yo, l'a vire yo adwat, l'a vire yo agoch devan mwen menm, Seyè a, tankou yon ofrann espesyal moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap fè m' pou moun Levi yo ka fè sèvis mwen.
12 And the Levites are to put their hands on the heads of the oxen, and one of the oxen is to be offered for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to the Lord to take away the sin of the Levites.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo va poze men yo sou tèt ti towo bèf yo, w'a ofri yonn pou mande padon pou peche yo, w'a ofri lòt la pou yo boule nèt pou mwen. Se konsa y'a fè sèvis pou mande m' gras pou moun Levi yo.
13 Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.
Mete moun Levi yo apa tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m'. Mete yo sou zòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo.
14 So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.
W'a wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, konsa moun Levi yo va pou mwen nèt ale.
15 After that, the Levites will go in to do whatever has to be done in the Tent of meeting; you are to make them clean and give them as a wave offering.
Lè w'a fin mete moun Levi yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, lè w'a fin vire yo adwat agoch devan m', tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m', y'a gen dwa pwoche vin fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a.
16 For they have been given to me from among the children of Israel; in place of every mother's first son, the first to come to birth in Israel, I have taken them for myself.
N'a wete yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, n'a fè m' kado yo nèt. Mwen va pran yo pou mwen nan plas tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
17 For every mother's first son among the children of Israel is mine, the first male birth of man or beast: on the day when I sent death on all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I made them mine.
Paske, tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak tout premye ti mal bèt yo fè se pou mwen yo ye. Depi jou mwen te touye tout premye pitit moun peyi Lejip yo, wi depi jou sa a mwen mete premye pitit nou yo apa pou mwen.
18 And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites.
Koulye a, mwen pran moun Levi yo nan plas premye pitit moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
19 And I have given them to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to undertake for them all the work of the Tent of meeting, and to take away sin from the children of Israel so that no evil may come on them when they come near the holy place.
Mwen pran moun Levi yo tankou yon kado moun yo fè m', mwen renmèt yo nan men Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo pou yo fè travay moun Izrayèl yo gen pou yo fè nan Tant Randevou a, pou mande Bondye gras pou pèp la. Konsa, okenn malè p'ap rive tonbe sou pèp la paske yo p'ap janm bezwen pwoche twò pre kote ki apa nèt pou mwen nan tanp lan.
20 All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.
Se konsa, Moyiz, Arawon ak tout pèp Izrayèl la mete moun Levi yo apa nèt pou Seyè a, jan li te bay Moyiz lòd la. Wi, yo te fè tou sa pou yo te fè pou moun Levi yo.
21 And the Levites were made clean from sin, and their clothing was washed, and Aaron gave them for a wave offering before the Lord; and Aaron took away their sin and made them clean.
Moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou peye pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal, yo lave rad ki sou yo. Arawon mete yo apa devan Seyè a, li vire yo adwat agoch devan Seyè a tankou yon kado espesyal pou Bondye, epi li fè sèvis pou mande gras pou yo te ka nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye.
22 And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo antre al fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a sou lòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Se konsa pèp la te fè pou moun Levi yo tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
23 And the Lord said to Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ankò, li di l' konsa:
24 This is the rule for the Levites: those of twenty-five years old and over are to go in and do the work of the Tent of meeting;
-Sa mwen pral di ou la a, se pou moun Levi yo: Depi yo rive laj vennsenkan y'a fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
25 But after they are fifty years old, they are to give up their work and do no more;
Lè y'a gen senkantan, y'a pran retrèt yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò nan tant lan.
26 But be with their brothers in the Tent of meeting, taking care of it but doing no work. This is what you are to do in connection with the Levites and their work.
Men, y'a gen dwa ede moun Levi parèy yo nan nenpòt travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a. Men yo menm poutèt pa yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò. Se konsa w'a bay moun Levi yo travay pou yo fè.
