Numbers 8
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
“Yi magana da Haruna, ka ce masa, ‘Sa’ad da za ka shisshirya fitilun nan bakwai, ka shirya su yadda za su fuskanci gaba domin haskensu yă haskaka ta gaba.’”
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Haka kuwa Haruna ya yi; ya shisshirya fitilun yadda za su fuskanci gaba a kan wurin ajiye fitilan, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
4 And this was the work of the candlestick: [it was] of beaten gold; from its base to its flowers was it beaten work; according to the form which Jehovah had shewn Moses, so had he made the candlestick.
Ga yadda aka yi wurin ajiye fitilan. An ƙera shi da zinariya daga gindinsa har zuwa sama inda ya buɗu. Aka ƙera wurin ajiye fitilan yadda Ubangiji ya nuna wa Musa.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, ka tsarkake su.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them water of purification from sin; and they shall pass the razor over all their flesh, and shall wash their garments, and make themselves clean.
Ga yadda za ka tsarkake su, ka yayyafa musu ruwan tsarkakewa; ka sa su aske jikunansu duka su kuma wanke tufafinsu, ta haka za su tsarkake kansu.
8 And they shall take a young bullock and its oblation of fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
Ka sa su ɗauki ɗan bijimi tare da lallausan garin hadaya, kwaɓaɓɓe da mai; sa’an nan, kai kuma ka ɗauki ɗan bijimi na biyu na hadaya don zunubi.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt gather together the whole assembly of the children of Israel.
Ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Tentin Sujada, ka kuma kira taron Isra’ilawa duka.
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before Jehovah; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
Za ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji, Isra’ilawa kuma za su ɗibiya musu hannuwansu.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Jehovah from the children of Israel, and they shall perform the service of Jehovah.
Haruna zai miƙa Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji a matsayin hadaya ta kaɗawa daga Isra’ilawa, saboda a shirya su domin aikin Ubangiji.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and thou shalt offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, to Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
“Bayan Lawiyawa sun ɗibiya hannuwansu a kan bijiman, sai ka yi amfani da ɗaya a matsayin hadaya don zunubi ga Ubangiji, ɗayan kuma domin hadaya ta ƙonawa, don yin kafara saboda Lawiyawa.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave-offering to Jehovah.
Ka kuma sa Lawiyawa su tsaya a gaban Haruna da’ya’yansa, sai ka miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa ga Ubangiji.
14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, that the Levites may be mine.
Da haka za ka keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, Lawiyawa za su zama nawa.
15 And afterwards shall the Levites come in to do the service of the tent of meeting. And thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them as a wave-offering.
“Bayan ka tsarkake Lawiyawa, ka kuma miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa, sai su zo su yi aikinsu a Tentin Sujada.
16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of every one that breaketh open the womb, instead of every firstborn among the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Gama dukansu an ba ni su daga cikin Isra’ilawa a maimakon dukan waɗanda suka fara buɗe mahaifa, wato, dukan’ya’yan farin Isra’ilawa. Na karɓi Lawiyawa su zama nawa.
17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both of man and beast; on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed them to myself.
Kowane ɗan farin haihuwa, ko mutum, ko dabba a Isra’ila, nawa ne. Sa’ad da na kashe’ya’yan fari a Masar, na keɓe’ya’yan fari na Isra’ilawa wa kaina.
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Na kuma ɗauki Lawiyawa a maimakon dukan’ya’yan fari maza a Isra’ila.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to perform the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel draw near to the sanctuary.
Cikin dukan Isra’ilawa, na ba da Lawiyawa kyauta ga Haruna da’ya’yansa, su yi hidima a Tentin Sujada a madadin Isra’ilawa, su kuma yi kafara dominsu saboda kada annoba ta bugi Isra’ilawa sa’ad da suka je kusa da wuri mai tsarki.”
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the assembly of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of Israel to them.
Musa, Haruna da kuma dukan taron Isra’ilawa, suka yi da Lawiyawa yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
21 And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their garments; and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Lawiyawa suka tsarkake kansu, suka kuma wanke tufafinsu. Sai Haruna ya miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa a gaban Ubangiji, ya kuma yi kafara saboda su don yă tsarkake su.
22 And afterwards the Levites came in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
Bayan haka, sai Lawiyawa suka zo don su yi aikinsu a Tentin Sujada, a ƙarƙashin Haruna da’ya’yansa. Suka yi da Lawiyawa kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
24 This is that which concerneth the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward shall he come to labour in the work of the service of the tent of meeting.
“Wannan ya shafi Lawiyawa ne, wato, mazan da suka kai shekara ashirin da biyar, ko fiye, za su zo su yi aiki a Tentin Sujada,
25 And from fifty years old he shall retire from the labour of the service, and shall serve no more;
amma in suka kai shekaru hamsin da haihuwa, dole su huta daga wannan aiki na yau da kullum, su kuma daina aiki.
26 but he shall minister with his brethren in the tent of meeting, and keep the charge, but he shall not serve [in] the service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites with regard to their charges.
Za su iya taimakon’yan’uwansu cikin tafiyar da ayyuka a Tentin Sujada, amma su kansu ba za su yi aikin ba. Haka fa za ka ba wa Lawiyawa aikinsu.”
