Numbers 8
1 The Lord told Moses,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
2 “Tell Aaron, ‘When you place the seven lamps on the lampstand, make sure they shine towards the front.’”
“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 So that's what Aaron did. He placed the lamps facing towards the front of the lampstand, as the Lord had ordered 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 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.
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 The Lord told Moses,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
6 “Separate the Levites from the other Israelites and purify them.
“Keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, ka tsarkake su.
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.
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 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.
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 Take the Levites and have them stand in front of the Tent of Meeting and have all the Israelites gather there.
Ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Tentin Sujada, ka kuma kira taron Isra’ilawa duka.
10 When you bring the Levites to the Lord the Israelites are to place their hands upon them.
Za ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji, Isra’ilawa kuma za su ɗibiya musu hannuwansu.
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.
Haruna zai miƙa Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji a matsayin hadaya ta kaɗawa daga Isra’ilawa, saboda a shirya su domin aikin Ubangiji.
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.
“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 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and present them to the Lord as a wave offering.
Ka kuma sa Lawiyawa su tsaya a gaban Haruna da’ya’yansa, sai ka miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa ga Ubangiji.
14 This is how you are to separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to me.
Da haka za ka keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, Lawiyawa za su zama nawa.
15 They can come and serve at the Tent of Meeting once you've purified them and presented 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 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.
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 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.
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 I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
Na kuma ɗauki Lawiyawa a maimakon dukan’ya’yan fari maza a Isra’ila.
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.”
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 Moses, Aaron, and all the Israelites did everything that the Lord had ordered Moses that they should do regarding the Levites.
Musa, Haruna da kuma dukan taron Isra’ilawa, suka yi da Lawiyawa yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
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.
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 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.
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 The Lord told Moses,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
24 “This rule applies to the Levites. Those twenty-five or older shall serve at 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 However, once they reach the age of fifty they need to retire from the work and won't serve any longer.
amma in suka kai shekaru hamsin da haihuwa, dole su huta daga wannan aiki na yau da kullum, su kuma daina aiki.
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.”
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.”
