< Numbers 8 >

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.'
“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: he lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Inaramid ni Aaron daytoy. Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti kandelero a manglawag ti sangoanan daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
4 And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the LORD had shown 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 unto Moses, saying:
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
6 'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Alaem dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket dalusam ida.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
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 Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take 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 present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanan iti tabernakulo, ken ummongem ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
10 And thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
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 before the LORD for a wave-offering from the children of Israel, that they may be to do the service of the LORD.
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 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
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 before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti imatang ni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki, ken itag-aymo ida a kas daton kaniak.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine.
Iti daytoy a wagas, masapul nga isinam dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kukuakto dagiti Levita.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
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 For they are wholly given unto Me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto Me.
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 first-born among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for 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 instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Innalak dagiti Levita kadagiti tattao ti Israel imbes a dagiti amin nga inauna nga annak.
19 And I have given the Levites — they are given to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, through the children of Israel coming nigh unto the 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 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites; according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
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 the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a sacred gift before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse 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 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
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 unto Moses, saying:
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
24 'This is that which pertaineth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the tent of meeting;
“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 from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more;
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 but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, but they shall do no manner of service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.'
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.”
