Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light towarde the forefront of the Candlesticke.
-Pale ak Arawon. W'a di l' konsa: Lè l'ap fè moute sèt ti lanp yo sou pye gwo lanp sèt branch lan, ranje yo yon jan pou yo klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
3 And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Arawon swiv lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la: li fè moute ti lanp yo pou yo ka klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
4 And this was the worke of the Candlesticke, euen of golde beaten out with the hammer, both the shafte, and the flowres thereof was beaten out with the hammer: according to the paterne, which the Lord had shewed Moses, so made he the Candlesticke.
Men ki jan gwo lanp lan te fèt: tout kò a nèt te fèt ak pi bon lò ki genyen. Yo te fè depi pye gwo lanp lan jouk flè yo nan yon sèl gwo moso lò, dapre modèl Seyè a te fè Moyiz wè nan vizyon an.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
6 Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.
-Wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la. Mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
7 And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinckle water of purification vpon them, and let them shaue all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shalbe cleane.
Men ki jan w'a fè l': W'a pran nan dlo pou wete peche a, w'a voye l' sou yo. Apre sa, y'a koupe cheve ak pwal sou tout kò yo nèt, epi y'a lave rad ki sou yo. Se konsa y'a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
8 Then they shall take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo va pran yon jenn ti towo ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden ki pou mache avè l' la, ki vle di ti gout farin frans melanje ak lwil. Ou menm, w'a pran yon dezyèm ti towo tou jenn pou ou touye pou repare sa yo fè ki mal.
9 Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
Apre sa, w'a fè moun Levi yo pwoche dèvan pòt Tant Randevou a, epi w'a fè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo sanble.
10 Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
Y'a poze men yo sou tèt moun Levi yo.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lord.
Lèfini, Arawon va pran moun Levi yo, l'a vire yo adwat, l'a vire yo agoch devan mwen menm, Seyè a, tankou yon ofrann espesyal moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap fè m' pou moun Levi yo ka fè sèvis mwen.
12 And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo va poze men yo sou tèt ti towo bèf yo, w'a ofri yonn pou mande padon pou peche yo, w'a ofri lòt la pou yo boule nèt pou mwen. Se konsa y'a fè sèvis pou mande m' gras pou moun Levi yo.
13 And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.
Mete moun Levi yo apa tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m'. Mete yo sou zòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo.
14 Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.
W'a wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, konsa moun Levi yo va pou mwen nèt ale.
15 And afterwarde shall the Leuites goe in, to serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purifie them and offer them, as a shake offering.
Lè w'a fin mete moun Levi yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, lè w'a fin vire yo adwat agoch devan m', tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m', y'a gen dwa pwoche vin fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a.
16 For they are freely giuen vnto me from among the children of Israel, for such as open any wombe: for all the first borne of the children of Israel haue I taken them vnto me.
N'a wete yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, n'a fè m' kado yo nèt. Mwen va pran yo pou mwen nan plas tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
17 For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.
Paske, tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak tout premye ti mal bèt yo fè se pou mwen yo ye. Depi jou mwen te touye tout premye pitit moun peyi Lejip yo, wi depi jou sa a mwen mete premye pitit nou yo apa pou mwen.
18 And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,
Koulye a, mwen pran moun Levi yo nan plas premye pitit moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
19 And haue giuen the Leuites as a gift vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come neere vnto the Sanctuarie.
Mwen pran moun Levi yo tankou yon kado moun yo fè m', mwen renmèt yo nan men Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo pou yo fè travay moun Izrayèl yo gen pou yo fè nan Tant Randevou a, pou mande Bondye gras pou pèp la. Konsa, okenn malè p'ap rive tonbe sou pèp la paske yo p'ap janm bezwen pwoche twò pre kote ki apa nèt pou mwen nan tanp lan.
20 Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.
Se konsa, Moyiz, Arawon ak tout pèp Izrayèl la mete moun Levi yo apa nèt pou Seyè a, jan li te bay Moyiz lòd la. Wi, yo te fè tou sa pou yo te fè pou moun Levi yo.
21 So the Leuites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offred them as a shake offring before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purifie them.
Moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou peye pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal, yo lave rad ki sou yo. Arawon mete yo apa devan Seyè a, li vire yo adwat agoch devan Seyè a tankou yon kado espesyal pou Bondye, epi li fè sèvis pou mande gras pou yo te ka nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye.
22 And after that, went the Leuites in to doe their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sonnes: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so they did vnto them.
Apre sa, moun Levi yo antre al fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a sou lòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Se konsa pèp la te fè pou moun Levi yo tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ankò, li di l' konsa:
24 This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
-Sa mwen pral di ou la a, se pou moun Levi yo: Depi yo rive laj vennsenkan y'a fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
25 And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:
Lè y'a gen senkantan, y'a pran retrèt yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò nan tant lan.
26 But they shall minister with their brethre in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe things committed to their charge, but they shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites touching their charges.
Men, y'a gen dwa ede moun Levi parèy yo nan nenpòt travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a. Men yo menm poutèt pa yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò. Se konsa w'a bay moun Levi yo travay pou yo fè.
