Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Korero ki a Arona, mea atu ki a ia, Ka tahuna e koe nga rama, kia marama i nga rama e whitu te wahi i mua o taua turanga rama.
3 And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
I pera ano a Arona; i meinga e ia kia ka nga rama ki te wahi i mua o te turanga rama; i pera ia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
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.
A ko te mahinga tenei o te turanga rama, he mea patu te koura; ko tona take, ko ona puawai, he mea patu; ko tana hanga i te turanga rama rite tonu ki te tauira i whakakitea e Ihowa ki a Mohi.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
6 Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.
Tangohia nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, ka pure i a ratou.
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.
Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki a ratou, hei pure i a ratou: tauhiuhia ki a ratou he wai hei pure, kia heua o ratou tinana katoa, a me horoi e ratou o ratou kakahu, kia ma ai.
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.
Katahi ratou ka mau ki tetahi puru kuao, me tona whakahere totokore, ara te paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu; me tango ano e koe tetahi atu puru kuao hei whakahere hara.
9 Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tawhiu mai ai i te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira:
10 Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka popoki nga ringa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti:
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.
A me whakahere e Arona nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakahere poipoi ma nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho ratou hei mahi i te mahi a Ihowa.
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.
Na ka popoki nga ringa o nga Riwaiti ki runga ki nga matenga o nga puru: a me tuku tetahi e koe hei whakahere hara, tetahi hoki hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo nga Riwaiti.
13 And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.
Na ka whakatu koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Arona, ki te aroaro ano o ana tama, ka whakahere ai hei whakahere poipoi ki a Ihowa.
14 Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.
Na me momotu e koe nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, a maku nga Riwaiti.
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.
A, muri iho, ka haere nga Riwaiti ki roto, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a me pure ratou e koe, me whakahere hoki hei whakahere poipoi.
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.
Ka tukua rawatia mai hoki ratou ki ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: hei utu mo nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, ara mo nga matamua o nga tama katoa a Iharaira i tangohia ai ratou e ahau maku.
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.
Naku hoki nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga tangata me nga kararehe: no te ra i patua ai e ahau nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i a ratou maku.
18 And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,
Na ka tangohia nei e ahau nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
He mea hoatu naku nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, hei mahi i nga mahi a nga tama a Iharaira, i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamarie mo nga tama a Iharaira: kei pa te whiu ki nga tama a Iharaira, ina whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki te wahi tapu.
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.
Na, ko ta Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, pera tonu me nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti; i pera tonu nga tama a Iharaira ki a ratou.
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.
Na ka horohoroa nga Riwaiti, a ka horoia o ratou kakahu; a whakaherea ana ratou e Arona hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka whakamarie a Arona mo ratou hei pure mo ratou.
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.
A ka mutu tera, ka tomo nga Riwaiti ki te mahi i a ratou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aroaro o Arona, i te aroaro ano hoki o ana tama: pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti ra ratou i mea ai ki a ratou.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
I korero ana a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Ko te mea tenei ma nga Riwaiti; ka rua tekau ma rima o ratou tau, ka maha ake ranei, me tomo ratou ki te mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
25 And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:
Ka maha ake o ratou tau i te rima tekau, me whakamutu ta ratou mahi i nga mahi o reira, kaua ano hoki he mahi ma ratou i muri iho:
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.
Engari me minita tahi me o ratou tuakana i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tiaki i nga mea e tiakina ana, kaua hoki e mahi i tetahi mahi. Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, ina tiaki ratou.
