< Numbers 8 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, a e I aku ia ia, penei, I ka manawa e kuni ai oe i na kukui, e hoomalamalama na ipu ehiku imua o ka ipukukui.
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Pela no o Aarona i hana'i; kuni iho la ia i kona mau kukui imua o ka ipukukui, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, to the shaft thereof, to the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
A o keia hana o ka ipukukui, he gula i wiliia, mai kona kumu a hiki i kona mau pua, he hana i Wiliia: mamuli o ke kumuhoolike a Iehova i hoike ai ia Mose, pela no ia i hana'i i ka ipukukui.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
E lawe oe i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, a e huikala ia lakou.
7 And thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying on them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
Penei kau hana ana ia lakou, e huikala ai ia lakou: E kapipi i ka wai huikala maluna o lakou, a e amu lakou i ko lakou kino a pau, a e holoi lakou i ko lakou mau aahu, a e huikala ia lakou iho.
8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shall you take for a sin offering.
Alaila, e lawe lakou i ka bipikeikikane, me kana mohaiai, he palaoa i kawili pu ia me ka aila; a me kekahi bipikeikikane hou e ae i mohaihala.
9 And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina; a e hoakoakoa mai hoi oe i ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
10 And you shall bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands on the Levites:
A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o Iehova; a e kau aku na mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na Levi:
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
A e hoali aku o Aarona i na Levi io a ia nei, imua o Iehova, i mohaihoali o na mamo a Iseraela, i lilo ai lakou i poe e lawe i ka hana a Iehova.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bullocks: and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
A e kau aku na Levi i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na poo o na bipikane: a e kaumaha oe i kekahi i mohaihala, a i kekahi i mohaikuni na Iehova, i mea hookalahala no na Levi
13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to the LORD.
A e hoonoho oe i na Levi imua o Aarona, a imua o kana mau keiki, a e mohai aku ia lakou i mohai na Iehova.
14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Pela oe e hookaawale ai i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela; a e lilo na Levi no'u.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
A mahope iho, e komo na Levi e hana ma ka halelewa anaina; a e huikala oe ia lakou, a e mohai oe ia lakou i mohai.
16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.
No ka mea, ua lilo loa lakou no'u maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, i panai no ka poe hanau mua, no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, ua lawe au ia lakou no'u.
17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
No ka mea, no'u no na hiapo a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka ke kanaka, a me ka ka holoholona; i ka la a'u i luku ai na hanau mua a pau ma Aigupita, hoolaa iho la au ia lakou nei no'u.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
A ua lawe au i na Levi i panai no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service 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 near to the sanctuary.
A ua haawi aku au i na Levi i haawina no Aarona a no kana mau keiki, maiwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, e hana i ka hana a ka poe mamo a Iseraela ma ka halelewa anaina, a e hookalahala no na mamo a Iseraela, i ole e lukuia na mamo a Iseraela, i ka wa e hele mai ai na mamo a Iseraela a kokoke i ke keenakapu.
20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.
A o Mose me Aarona a me ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, hana aku la lakou i na Levi e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi; pela no i hana aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia lakou.
21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
A ua huikalaia na Levi, a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou aahu; a hoali aku o Aarona ia lakou i mohaihoali imua o Iehova, a hookalahala aku la o Aarona no lakou, i mea e huikala ai ia lakou.
22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
A mahope iho, komo aku la na Levi iloko e hana i ka lakou hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, imua o Aarona a imua o kana mau keiki: e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi, pela no lakou i hana aku ai ia lakou.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
24 This is it that belongs to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Eia ka mea no na Levi; mai ka iwakalua a me kumamalima o na makahiki a keu aku, e hele lakou iloko e hana i ka hana o ka halelewa o ke anaina:
25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
A mai ka makahiki he kanalima aku, e hoi lakou mai ka hana aku, aole lakou e hana hou aku.
26 But shall minister with their brothers in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites touching their charge.
Aka, e malama lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau ma ka halelewa anaina, e kiai ana i ka oihana, aole nae lakou e hana. Pela no oe e hana aku ai i na Levi no ka lakou oihana.
