Numbers 8
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.
loquere Aaroni et dices ad eum cum posueris septem lucernas contra eam partem quam candelabrum respicit lucere debebunt
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.
fecitque Aaron et inposuit lucernas super candelabrum ut praeceperat Dominus Mosi
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.
haec autem erat factura candelabri ex auro ductili tam medius stipes quam cuncta ex utroque calamorum latera nascebantur iuxta exemplum quod ostendit Dominus Mosi ita operatus est candelabrum
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
6 Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.
tolle Levitas de medio filiorum Israhel et purificabis eos
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.
iuxta hunc ritum aspergantur aqua lustrationis et radant omnes pilos carnis suae cumque laverint vestimenta sua et mundati fuerint
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.
tollant bovem de armentis et libamentum eius similam oleo conspersam bovem autem alterum de armento tu accipies pro peccato
9 And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:
et adplicabis Levitas coram tabernaculo foederis convocata omni multitudine filiorum Israhel
10 And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:
cumque Levitae fuerint coram Domino ponent filii Israhel manus suas super eos
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.
et offeret Aaron Levitas munus in conspectu Domini a filiis Israhel ut serviant in ministerio eius
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.
Levitae quoque ponent manus suas super capita boum e quibus unum facies pro peccato et alterum in holocaustum Domini ut depreceris pro eis
13 Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.
statuesque Levitas in conspectu Aaron et filiorum eius et consecrabis oblatos Domino
14 So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.
ac separabis de medio filiorum Israhel ut sint mei
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.
et postea ingrediantur tabernaculum foederis ut serviant mihi sicque purificabis et consecrabis eos in oblationem Domini quoniam dono donati sunt mihi a filiis Israhel
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.
pro primogenitis quae aperiunt omnem vulvam in Israhel accepi eos
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.
mea sunt omnia primogenita filiorum Israhel tam ex hominibus quam ex iumentis ex die quo percussi omnem primogenitum in terra Aegypti sanctificavi eos mihi
18 And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites.
et tuli Levitas pro cunctis primogenitis filiorum Israhel
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.
tradidique eos dono Aaroni et filiis eius de medio populi ut serviant mihi pro Israhel in tabernaculo foederis et orent pro eis ne sit in populo plaga si ausi fuerint accedere ad sanctuarium
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.
feceruntque Moses et Aaron et omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel super Levitas quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi
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.
purificatique sunt et laverunt vestimenta sua elevavitque eos Aaron in conspectu Domini et oravit pro eis
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.
ut purificati ingrederentur ad officia sua in tabernaculum foederis coram Aaron et filiis eius sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi de Levitis ita factum est
23 And the Lord said to Moses,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
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;
haec est lex Levitarum a viginti quinque annis et supra ingredientur ut ministrent in tabernaculo foederis
25 But after they are fifty years old, they are to give up their work and do no more;
cumque quinquagesimum annum aetatis impleverint servire cessabunt
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.
eruntque ministri fratrum suorum in tabernaculo foederis ut custodiant quae sibi fuerint commendata opera autem ipsa non faciant sic dispones Levitas in custodiis suis
