Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
2 Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the leaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.
“Kasaom ni Aaron. Ibagam kenkuana, 'Masapul a dagiti pito a pagsilawan ket lawaganda ti sangoanan iti kandelero no sindiam dagitoy.'”
3 And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Inaramid ni Aaron daytoy. Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti kandelero a manglawag ti sangoanan daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
4 Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Naaramid ti kandelero iti kastoy a wagas: impakita ni Yahweh ti pagtuladan iti daytoy kenni Moises: napitpit a balitok manipud iti puonna inggana iti tuktokna, nga addaan kadagiti napitpit a kopa a kasla sabsabong.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
6 Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,
“Alaem dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket dalusam ida.
7 According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed,
Aramidem daytoy a kas panangdalus kadakuada: Iwarsim kadakuada ti danum a pangdalus. Pakuskosam kadakuada ti entero a bagida, labaanda dagiti pagan-anayda, ket iti kastoy a wagas madalusan ti bagbagida.
8 They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering:
Kalpasanna, pangalaem ida iti kalakian a baka ken daton a trigo a naaramid nga arina a nagamay iti lana. Pangalaem ida iti sabali a kalakian a baka a kas daton gapu iti basol.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanan iti tabernakulo, ken ummongem ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
10 And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, Siak ni Yahweh. Masapul nga ipatay dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti im-imada kadagiti Levita.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.
Masapul nga idaton ni Aaron dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, idatagna ida a kasla nakatag-ayda ti nangato iti sangoananna, iti biang dagiti tattao ti Israel. Masapul nga aramidenna daytoy tapno mapagserbiandak dagiti Levita.
12 The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.
Masapul nga ikabil dagiti Levita dagiti imada kadagiti ulo dagiti kalakian a baka. Masapul a mangidatonka iti maysa a kalakian a baka para iti daton gapu iti basol ken ti sabali a kalakian a baka para iti daton a maipuor a para kaniak, a pangabbong ti basol dagiti Levita.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord,
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti imatang ni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki, ken itag-aymo ida a kas daton kaniak.
14 And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.
Iti daytoy a wagas, masapul nga isinam dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kukuakto dagiti Levita.
15 And afterwards they shall enter into the tabernacle of the covenant, to serve me. And thus shalt thou purify and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: for as a gift they were given me by the children of Israel.
Kalpasan dayta, masapul a sumrek dagiti Levita nga agserbi iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Masapul a dalusam ida. Masapul nga itag-aymo ida kaniak a kas daton.
16 I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,
Aramidem daytoy, gapu ta kukuak laeng ida manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel. Isuda ti mangsukat iti tunggal anak a lalaki a manglukat ti aanakan, dagiti inauna dagiti amin a kaputotan ti Israel. Innalak dagiti Levita para kaniak.
17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:
Kukuak amin nga inauna manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel, dagiti tattao ken dagiti ay-ayup. Iti aldaw nga innalak dagiti bibiag dagiti inauna nga annak idiay daga ti Egipto, inlasinko ida para kaniak.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel:
Innalak dagiti Levita kadagiti tattao ti Israel imbes a dagiti amin nga inauna nga annak.
19 And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary.
Intedko dagiti Levita a kas sagut kenni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki. Innalak ida kadagiti tattao iti Israel a mangaramid ti trabaho dagiti tattao ti Israel iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Intedko ida a mangsubbot kadagiti basbasol dagiti tattao ti Israel tapno awan ti dididgra a mangdangran kadagiti tattao no umasidegda iti nasantoan a disso.”
20 And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:
Inaramid daytoy da Moises, Aaron ken ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao iti Israel kadagiti Levita. Inaramidda amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipapan kadagiti Levita. Inaramid daytoy dagiti tattao iti Israel kadakuada.
21 And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lard, and prayed for them,
Dinalusan dagiti Levita dagiti bagbagida manipud iti basol babaen iti pananglabada kadagiti pagan-anayda. Indatag ida ni Aaron a kas daton kenni Yahweh ken inaramidna ti pannakaabbong a maipaay kadakuada, tapno madalusanna ida.
22 That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.
Kalpasan dayta, simrek dagiti Levita tapno agtrabahoda iti uneg ti tabernakulo iti imatang da Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Sigun daytoy iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipanggep kadagiti Levita. Trinatoda amin dagiti Levita iti kastoy a wagas.
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
24 This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
“Amin dagitoy ket para kadagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo ket lima nga agpangato. Masapul a makitiponda kadagiti dadduma a kakaduada nga agserbi iti uneg iti tabernakulo.
25 And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:
Masapul a sumardengdan nga agserserbi iti kastoy a wagas iti tawen a lima pulo. Iti dayta a tawen, saandan a masapul nga agserbi pay.
26 And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.
Mabalinda a tulongan dagiti kakabsatda nga agtultuloy nga agtrabaho iti uneg iti tabernakulo, ngem saandan a rumbeng nga agserbi pay. Masapul nga idalanmo dagiti Levita kadagitoy amin a banbanag.”
