Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him: When you place the seven lamps, let the lampstand be set up on the south side. Therefore, give this instruction: that the lamps should look out from the region opposite the north, toward the table of the bread of the presence; they shall give light opposite that area, toward the area that the lampstand faces.”
“Elanema amane olelema. ‘E da gamali fesuale amo ilia baiga ligisisia, amo gamali ilia hadigi da midadi hadigima: ne, agoane bugima: ne sia: ma.’”
3 And Aaron did so, and he placed the lamps on the lampstand, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Elane da amo sia: nababeba: le, gamali ea ba: le gaidi amodili gamali ea baiga amoi ilia midadi amoga bugi.
4 Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand: it was of ductile gold, both the main shaft and all that originated from both sides of the branches. According to the example that the Lord revealed to Moses, so did he make the lampstand.
Gadodili asili ea baiga, gamali bai da gouli amo ha: maga dabagala: i agoane ba: i. Bai Hina Gode da amo hamosu ilegei Mousesema olelei.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you shall purify them
“Dia Lifai dunu amo Isala: ili dunu eno amoga afafama. Amola ilia ledo doga: ma: ne agoane hamoma.
7 according to this ritual: Let them be sprinkled with the water of illumination, and let them shave off all the hairs of their body. And when they have washed their garments and have been cleansed,
Ilia da: i hodo hinabo huluane waga: ma: ne amola abula huluane dodofema: ne sia: ma. Amasea, ilia da sema defele, ledo hamedei hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
8 they shall take an ox from the herd, with its libation of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil; then you shall receive another ox from the herd for sin.
Amasea, ilia da bulamagau gawali waha debe amola Gala: ine Iasu (falaua amola olife susuligi gilisi) amo lama: ne sia: ma. Amola di bulamagau gawali eno Wadela: i Hou Gogolema: ne Olofoma: ne Iasu hamoma: ne lama.
9 And you shall bring forward the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the sons of Israel.
Amasea, Isala: ili dunu huluane gilisima: ne sia: ma. Amola Lifai dunu amo Na Abula Diasu midadi leloma: ne sia: ma.
10 And when the Levites are before the Lord, the sons of Israel shall place their hands upon them.
Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia lobo Lifai dunu ilia dialuma da: iya ligisima: mu.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a gift in the sight of the Lord, from the sons of Israel, so that they may serve in his ministry.
Amasea, Lifai dunu da Nama hahawane iasu, Na hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne, Elane da ili momogili gagale ilegema: mu.
12 Likewise, the Levites shall place their hands upon the heads of the oxen; you shall make use of one of these for sin, and the other as a holocaust to the Lord, so that you may intercede for them.
Amasea, Lifai dunu da ilia lobo bulamagau aduna ela dialuma da: iya ligisimu. Ilia da bulamagau afae amo Wadela: i Hou Gogolema: ne Olofoma: ne Iasu hamoma: ne imunu amola eno da Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu hamoma: mu.
13 And you shall set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate those being offered to the Lord,
Dia Lifai dunu amo Nama noga: idafa fi hamoma: ne momogili gagale ilegema. Amola Elane amola ea mano ilima ouligima: ne ilegema.
14 and you shall separate them from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may be for me.
Lifai dunu ilia da Na fidafa esaloma: ne, Isala: ili fi ilima mogima.
15 And after this, they shall enter the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to serve me. And so shall you purify and consecrate them as an oblation to the Lord. For they were given to me as a gift from the sons of Israel.
Di da Lifai dunu ledo hamedei esaloma: ne ilegei dagosea, ilia da Na Abula diasu amo ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: mu.
16 I have accepted them in place of the firstborn which open every womb in Israel.
Na da Lifai dunu amo Isala: ili mano magobo huluane ilia sogebi lama: ne ilegei dagoi. Ili da Na: fawane.
17 For all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, as much from men as from beasts, are mine. From the day when I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified them to myself.
Na da Idibidi fi ilia mano magobo huluane fane legeloba, Na da Isala: ili dunu fi amola ohe fi mano magobo huluane Na: fawane esaloma: ne ilegei dagoi.
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Be wali Na da Isala: ili mano magobo mae lale, Lifai fi dunu huluane Na: fawane esaloma: ne ilegele laha.
19 And I have delivered them as a gift to Aaron and his sons, from the midst of the people, in order to serve me, for Israel, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and in order to pray for them, lest there be a scourge among the people, if they were to dare to approach to my Sanctuary.”
Amola Isala: ili dunu ilia da Lifai dunu huluane amo Elane amola ea mano ilima ima: ne, Na da ilegesa. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia hawa: hamosu Abula Diasu amo ganodini hamomu. Bai Isala: ili dunu eno da Hadigi Malei Sesei gadenene masea, ilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sa: besa: le, agoane hamosa.”
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel, accomplished all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.
Amaiba: le, Mousese, Elane amola Isala: ili dunu huluane da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, Lifai dunu momogili gagale ilegei.
21 And they were purified, and they washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and he prayed for them,
Lifai dunu da ilia da: i hano ulalu, ilia abula dodofei. Amasea, Elane da ili Hina Godema iasu noga: i ima: ne, momogili gagale ilegei. E amola ledo hamedei hamoma: ne hou ilima hamoi.
22 so that, having been purified, they might enter to their duties in the tabernacle of the covenant before Aaron and his sons. Just as the Lord had instructed Moses about the Levites, so was it done.
Isala: ili dunu da hou huluane Hina Gode da Mousesema hamoma: ne sia: i, amo huluane Lifai dunuma hamoi. Amaiba: le, Lifai dunu da Elane amola ea mano ilia ouligisu hagudu amo Abula Diasu hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne defele ba: i.
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
24 “This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years and above, they shall enter to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
“Lifai dunu da ode 25 baligisia, Na Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamoma: mu.
25 And when they will have completed the fiftieth year of age, they shall cease to serve.
E da ode 50 gidigisia, ea hawa: hamosu fisima: mu.
26 And they shall be the ministers of their brothers in the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to care for the things that have been commended to them, but not to perform the works themselves. So shall you assign the Levites in their duties.”
Amo ode fa: no, e da ea Lifai sama amo Abula Diasu ganodini fidimu da defea, be hisu da hame hamomu. Di da Lifai dunu ilia hawa: hamosu amo defele ouligima.”
