Numbers 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.'
Mitenena amin’ i Arona hoe: Raha mampirehitra ny jiro fito ianao, dia ataovy mahazava ny eo anoloan’ ny fanaovan-jiro izy.
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.
Dia nataon’ i Arona izany, fa nampirehetiny ny jiro mba hahazava ny eo anoloan’ ny fanaovan-jiro, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
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.
Ary izao no toetry ny fanaovan-jiro; volamena novoasana izy; hatramin’ ny faladiany sy ny voniny aza dia samy novoasana avokoa; araka ny endrika izay nasehon’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nanaovany ny fanaovan-jiro.
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
6 'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Alao ny Levita avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka diovy izy.
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.
Ary izao no hataonao aminy hanadiovana azy: Fafazo rano fanadiovana izy, ary asaovy haratany avokoa ny tenany rehetra, ary aoka hosasany ny fitafiany, ka dia hadio izy.
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.
Dia asaovy maka vantotr’ ombilahy iray izy mbamin’ ny fanatitra hohanina fombany, dia koba tsara toto voaharo diloilo; ary vantotr’ ombilahy iray koa no halainao ho fanatitra noho ny ota.
9 And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary vorio ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
10 And thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely hametraka ny tànany aminy;
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.
ary Arona dia hanatitra ny Levita eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho fanatitra ahevaheva avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba hanao ny fanompoana an’ i Jehovah izy.
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.
Ary ny Levita hametraka ny tànany amin’ ny lohan’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy roa; dia atero ny anankiray ho fanatitra noho ny ota, ary ny anankiray kosa ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah, hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny Levita.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
Ary apetraho eo anatrehan’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny Levita, ka atero ho fanatitra ahevaheva ho an’ i Jehovah izy.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine.
Ary ampiavaho amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita, dia ho Ahy izy.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hiditra ny Levita hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana. Dia hodiovinao toy izany izy ka haterinao ho fanatitra ahevaheva;
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.
fa efa nomena ho Ahy avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mihitsy izy; ho solon’ izay voalohan-teraka rehetra, dia izay lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, no nanalako azy ho Ahy.
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.
Fa Ahy ny voalohan-teraka rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na olona na biby fiompy; tamin’ ilay andro namelezako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta no nanamasinako azy ho Ahy.
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Ary efa nalaiko ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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.'
Ary nomeko ho an’ i Arona sy ny zanany mihitsy ny Levita, avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, hanao ny fanompoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana sy hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba tsy hisy areti-mandringana hanjo azy, raha manakaiky ny fitoerana masìna izy.
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.
Dia nataon’ i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, tamin’ ny Levita izany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ny amin’ ny Levita no nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely taminy.
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.
Dia nodiovin’ ny Levita ny tenany ho afaka ota, ary nosasany ny fitafiany; ary Arona nanatitra azy ho fanatitra ahevaheva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah sady nanao fanavotana ho azy hanadiovana azy.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niditra ny Levita hanao ny fihaonana teo anatrehan’ i Arona sy ny zanany; araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ny amin’ ny Levita no nataony taminy.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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;
Ny amin’ ny Levita dia izao: Hatramin’ ny dimy amby roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy no hanatona hilatsaka amin’ ny antokony hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana;
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more;
fa rehefa dimam-polo taona kosa izy, dia hiala amin’ ny antokon’ ny fanompoana ka tsy hanompo intsony;
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.'
kanefa mahazo manampy ny rahalahiny ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ihany izy mba hitandrina izay anjara-raharaha; fa tsy hanao fanompoana hafa izy. Izany no hataonao amin’ ny Levita ny amin’ ny anjara-raharahany.
