Numbers 8
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
アロンに告て之に言へ汝燈火を燃す時は七の燈盞をして均く燈臺の前を照さしむべし
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
アロンすなはち然なし燈火を燈臺の前の方にむけて燃せりヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如し
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.
燈臺の作法は是のごとし是は槌にて椎て作れる者即ちその臺座よりその花まで槌にて椎て作れる者なりモーセ、ヱホバの己に示したまへる式樣にてらしてこの燈臺を作れり
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取てこれを潔めよ
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.
汝かく彼らに爲て之を潔むべし即ち罪を潔むる水を彼等に灑ぎかけ彼等にその身をことごとく剃しめその衣服を洗はしめて之を潔め
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.
而して彼等に若き牡牛一匹と麥粉に油を和たる者を取しめよ汝また別に若き牡牛を罪祭のために取べし
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.
斯て汝レビ人を集會の幕屋の前に携きたりてイスラエルの子孫の全會を集め
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before Jehovah; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
而してレビ人をヱホバの前に進ましめてイスラエルの子孫に其手をレビ人の上に按しむべし
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.
而してイスラエルの子孫の爲にレビ人を搖祭となしてヱホバの前に献ぐべし是彼らをしてヱホバの勤務を爲しめんためなり
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.
斯て汝レビ人にその手をかの牛の頭に按しめその一を燔祭となしてヱホバに献げ之をもてレビ人のために贖罪をなすべし
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave-offering to Jehovah.
即ちレビ人をアロンとその子等の前に立しめ之を搖祭となしてヱホバに献ぐべし
14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, that the Levites may be mine.
汝レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より區分ちレビ人をしてわが所屬とならしむべし
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.
斯て後レビ人は入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし汝かれらを潔め之を献げて搖祭となすべし
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.
彼らはイスラエルの子孫の中よりして我に献げらるる者なりイスラエルの子孫の中なる始に生れたる者すなはちその首出子の代に我かれらを取なり
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.
イスラエルの子孫の中の首出子は人たるも獣たるも凡てわが所屬となるべし其は我エジプトの地において首出子を盡く撃ころしたる時に彼等を聖者となして我に屬せしめたればなり
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
是をもて我イスラエルの子孫の中の一切の首出子の代にレビ人を取なり
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.
我イスラエルの子孫の中よりレビ人を取て之をアロンとその子等に與へ之をして集合の幕屋においてイスラエルの子孫に代てその役事を爲しめまたイスラエルの子孫のために贖罪をなさしめん是イスラエルの子孫が聖所に近く時にイスラエルの子孫の中に災害の起ざらんためなり
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.
モーセとアロンおよびイスラエルの子孫の全會衆ヱホバがレビ人の事につきてモーセに命じたまへる所に悉くしたがひてレビ人におこなへり即ちイスラエルの子孫かくの如く彼等に行ひたり
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.
レビ人是に於てその身を潔め衣服を洗ひたればアロンかれらをヱホバの前に献て搖祭となしアロンまた彼らのために贖罪をなして之を潔めたり
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.
斯て後レビ人は集會の幕屋に入てアロンとその子等の前にてその役事を爲り彼等はレビ人の事につきてヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる所に循ひて斯のごとく之を行ひたり
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
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.
レビ人は斯なすべし即ち二十五歳以上の者は軍団に入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし
25 And from fifty years old he shall retire from the labour of the service, and shall serve no more;
然ど五十歳よりは軍団を退きて休み重て役事をなすべからず
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.
唯集會の幕屋においてその兄弟等をつかさどり且伺ひ守ることを勤むべし役事を爲すべからず汝レビ人をしてその職務をなさしむるには斯のごとくなすべし
