Numbers 8
1 The Lord told Moses,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
2 “Tell Aaron, ‘When you place the seven lamps on the lampstand, make sure they shine towards the front.’”
“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 So that's what Aaron did. He placed the lamps facing towards the front of the lampstand, as the Lord had ordered Moses.
Elane da amo sia: nababeba: le, gamali ea ba: le gaidi amodili gamali ea baiga amoi ilia midadi amoga bugi.
4 The lampstand was made of hammered gold from its base to the flower decorations on the top, in accordance with the design that the Lord had shown Moses.
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 The Lord told Moses,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
6 “Separate the Levites from the other Israelites and purify them.
“Dia Lifai dunu amo Isala: ili dunu eno amoga afafama. Amola ilia ledo doga: ma: ne agoane hamoma.
7 This is how you will purify them. Sprinkle on them the water of purification. They are to shave off all the hair from their bodies and wash their clothes so they will be clean.
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 Have them bring a young bull with its grain offering of the best flour mixed with olive oil, and you are to bring a second young bull as a sin offering.
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 Take the Levites and have them stand in front of the Tent of Meeting and have all the Israelites gather there.
Amasea, Isala: ili dunu huluane gilisima: ne sia: ma. Amola Lifai dunu amo Na Abula Diasu midadi leloma: ne sia: ma.
10 When you bring the Levites to the Lord the Israelites are to place their hands upon them.
Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia lobo Lifai dunu ilia dialuma da: iya ligisima: mu.
11 Aaron shall present the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the Israelites so that they can do the Lord's work.
Amasea, Lifai dunu da Nama hahawane iasu, Na hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne, Elane da ili momogili gagale ilegema: mu.
12 The Levites are to place their hands on the heads of the bulls. One is to be sacrificed as a sin offering to the Lord, and the other as a burnt offering to set the Levites right with the Lord.
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 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and present them to the Lord as a wave offering.
Dia Lifai dunu amo Nama noga: idafa fi hamoma: ne momogili gagale ilegema. Amola Elane amola ea mano ilima ouligima: ne ilegema.
14 This is how you are to separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to me.
Lifai dunu ilia da Na fidafa esaloma: ne, Isala: ili fi ilima mogima.
15 They can come and serve at the Tent of Meeting once you've purified them and presented them as a wave offering.
Di da Lifai dunu ledo hamedei esaloma: ne ilegei dagosea, ilia da Na Abula diasu amo ganodini hawa: hamomu defele ba: mu.
16 The Levites have been completely given over to me by the Israelites. I have accepted them as mine in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
Na da Lifai dunu amo Isala: ili mano magobo huluane ilia sogebi lama: ne ilegei dagoi. Ili da Na: fawane.
17 Every firstborn male in Israel belongs to me, both human and animal. I reserved them for myself at the time when I killed all the firstborn in Egypt.
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 I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
Be wali Na da Isala: ili mano magobo mae lale, Lifai fi dunu huluane Na: fawane esaloma: ne ilegele laha.
19 Of all the Israelites, the Levites are a gift from me to Aaron and his sons to serve the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, and on their behalf to set them right, so that nothing bad will happen to them when they come to the 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 Moses, Aaron, and all the Israelites did everything that the Lord had ordered Moses that they should do regarding 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 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering to the Lord. Aaron also presented the sacrifice to make them right with the Lord so they would be clean.
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 Afterwards the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting under the direction of Aaron and his sons. They followed all the instructions regarding the Levites that the Lord had given to Moses.
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 The Lord told Moses,
Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
24 “This rule applies to the Levites. Those twenty-five or older shall serve at the Tent of Meeting.
“Lifai dunu da ode 25 baligisia, Na Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamoma: mu.
25 However, once they reach the age of fifty they need to retire from the work and won't serve any longer.
E da ode 50 gidigisia, ea hawa: hamosu fisima: mu.
26 They can still help their fellow Levites in their assignments, but they are not to do the actual work themselves. These are the arrangements in the case of the Levites.”
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.”
