< Numbers 8 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.
E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, a e I aku ia ia, penei, I ka manawa e kuni ai oe i na kukui, e hoomalamalama na ipu ehiku imua o ka ipukukui.
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.
Pela no o Aarona i hana'i; kuni iho la ia i kona mau kukui imua o ka ipukukui, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
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.
A o keia hana o ka ipukukui, he gula i wiliia, mai kona kumu a hiki i kona mau pua, he hana i Wiliia: mamuli o ke kumuhoolike a Iehova i hoike ai ia Mose, pela no ia i hana'i i ka ipukukui.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
6 Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.
E lawe oe i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, a e huikala ia lakou.
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.
Penei kau hana ana ia lakou, e huikala ai ia lakou: E kapipi i ka wai huikala maluna o lakou, a e amu lakou i ko lakou kino a pau, a e holoi lakou i ko lakou mau aahu, a e huikala ia lakou iho.
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.
Alaila, e lawe lakou i ka bipikeikikane, me kana mohaiai, he palaoa i kawili pu ia me ka aila; a me kekahi bipikeikikane hou e ae i mohaihala.
9 And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:
A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina; a e hoakoakoa mai hoi oe i ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
10 And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:
A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o Iehova; a e kau aku na mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na Levi:
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.
A e hoali aku o Aarona i na Levi io a ia nei, imua o Iehova, i mohaihoali o na mamo a Iseraela, i lilo ai lakou i poe e lawe i ka hana a Iehova.
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.
A e kau aku na Levi i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na poo o na bipikane: a e kaumaha oe i kekahi i mohaihala, a i kekahi i mohaikuni na Iehova, i mea hookalahala no na Levi
13 Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.
A e hoonoho oe i na Levi imua o Aarona, a imua o kana mau keiki, a e mohai aku ia lakou i mohai na Iehova.
14 So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.
Pela oe e hookaawale ai i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela; a e lilo na Levi no'u.
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.
A mahope iho, e komo na Levi e hana ma ka halelewa anaina; a e huikala oe ia lakou, a e mohai oe ia lakou i mohai.
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.
No ka mea, ua lilo loa lakou no'u maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, i panai no ka poe hanau mua, no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, ua lawe au ia lakou no'u.
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.
No ka mea, no'u no na hiapo a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka ke kanaka, a me ka ka holoholona; i ka la a'u i luku ai na hanau mua a pau ma Aigupita, hoolaa iho la au ia lakou nei no'u.
18 And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites.
A ua lawe au i na Levi i panai no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
A ua haawi aku au i na Levi i haawina no Aarona a no kana mau keiki, maiwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, e hana i ka hana a ka poe mamo a Iseraela ma ka halelewa anaina, a e hookalahala no na mamo a Iseraela, i ole e lukuia na mamo a Iseraela, i ka wa e hele mai ai na mamo a Iseraela a kokoke i ke keenakapu.
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.
A o Mose me Aarona a me ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, hana aku la lakou i na Levi e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi; pela no i hana aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia lakou.
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.
A ua huikalaia na Levi, a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou aahu; a hoali aku o Aarona ia lakou i mohaihoali imua o Iehova, a hookalahala aku la o Aarona no lakou, i mea e huikala ai ia lakou.
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.
A mahope iho, komo aku la na Levi iloko e hana i ka lakou hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, imua o Aarona a imua o kana mau keiki: e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi, pela no lakou i hana aku ai ia lakou.
23 And the Lord said to Moses,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
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;
Eia ka mea no na Levi; mai ka iwakalua a me kumamalima o na makahiki a keu aku, e hele lakou iloko e hana i ka hana o ka halelewa o ke anaina:
25 But after they are fifty years old, they are to give up their work and do no more;
A mai ka makahiki he kanalima aku, e hoi lakou mai ka hana aku, aole lakou e hana hou aku.
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.
Aka, e malama lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau ma ka halelewa anaina, e kiai ana i ka oihana, aole nae lakou e hana. Pela no oe e hana aku ai i na Levi no ka lakou oihana.
