Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk,
2 Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
“Fahk nu sel Aaron lah pacl se el filiya lam itkosr fin nien lam uh, elan oakiya tuh in tolak acn meet.”
3 And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
Aaron el oru oana, ac oakiya lam uh tuh kalem kac in tolak mutun nien lam uh.
4 And this [is] the construction of the candlestick: [it is] solid, golden—its stem, and its lilies—all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Orekla nien lam uh ke gold tuktuki, lucngi na nwe ten, fal nu ke lumah se su LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
6 Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them.
“Srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel ngia, ac aknasnasyalosla
7 And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean.
in ouiya se inge: sroksrokunulosyak ke kof in aknasnas, ac sap elos in resaela manolos nufon, ac ohlla nuknuk lalos uh. Na elos ac fah nasnasla.
8 And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
Na elos fah eis soko cow mukul fusr, ac lupan flao karyak ke oil in olive ma eneneyuk nu ke mwe kisa wheat; ac kom fah eis soko pac cow mukul nu ke mwe kisa ke ma koluk.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Toko kom orani mwet Israel nukewa ac sap mwet Levi in tuyak ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, su pa acn nga muta we.
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
Na mwet Israel elos fah filiya paolos fin sifen mwet Levi uh,
11 And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord.
ac Aaron el fah kisakunma mwet Levi uh nu sik oana sie mwe sang sriyukla sin mwet Israel uh, tuh elos in oru orekma luk.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.
Na mwet Levi fah filiya paolos fin sifen cow mukul lukwa; soko ac fah mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac ma soko ngia nu ke mwe kisa firir. Ouiya se inge in orek ke alu in aknasnas lun mwet Levi.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and thou shalt give them as a gift before the Lord.
“Kisakunma mwet Levi uh oana sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sik, ac sang tuh Aaron ac wen natul in liyalosyang.
14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
In lumah se inge kom fah srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel saya, na elos fah ma nutik.
15 And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify them, and present them before the Lord.
Tukun kom aknasnasyela ac kisakunla mwet Levi uh, elos ac fah fal in orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
16 For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel that open every womb.
Nga eisalos in aolla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel, ac elos ma na nutik.
17 For every first-born among the children of Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
Ke nga tuh onela wounse nukewa nutin mwet Egypt uh, nga tuh akmutalye wen se ma matu oemeet in kais sie sou in Israel, ac wounsien kosro nukewa, tuh in ma nutik sifacna.
18 And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children of Israel.
Inge nga eis mwet Levi in aolla wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel,
19 And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw nigh to the holy things.
ac nga sang kunal Aaron ac wen natul elos in liyaung mwet Levi oana sie mwe kite sin mwet Israel, tuh elos fah orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal nu sin mwet Israel, ac in loango mwet Israel liki ongoiya ma ac ku in sonolos elos fin tuku apkuranla nu ke Acn Mutal.”
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
Ouinge Moses, Aaron ac mwet Israel nukewa kisakunla mwet Levi, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
21 So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
Mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna ac ohlla nuknuk lalos, ac Aaron el kisakunulos oana sie mwe kite sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD. El oayapa oru alu in aknasnas nu selos.
22 And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Mwet Israel akfalye ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan oru ke mwet Levi. Ouinge mwet Levi elos fal in oru orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye koko lal Aaron ac wen natul.
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
24 This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness.
“Kais sie mwet Levi su yac longoul limekosryak matwa, ac fah oru orekma kunal in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik,
25 And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
na el ac mongla liki orekma kunal ke el sun yac lumngaul matwa.
26 And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shalt thou do to the Levites in their charges.
Tukun pacl sacn, el ku in kasru mwet Levi wial in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu el tia ku in sifacna orekma. Pa inge ma kom ac oakiya nu ke kulansap lun mwet Levi.”
