< Numbers 8 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
2 Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
»Govori Aronu in mu reci: ›Ko prižigaš svetilke, bo sedem svetilk dajalo svetlobo nasproti svečniku.‹«
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aron je storil tako. Prižgal je svetilke nasproti svečniku, kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu.
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.
To delo svečnika je bilo iz kovanega zlata, njegovo telo, do njegovih cvetov, je bilo kovano delo, glede na vzorec, ki ga je Gospod pokazal Mojzesu, tako je naredil svečnik.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
»Vzemi Lévijevce izmed Izraelovih otrok in jih očisti.
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.
Tako jim boš storil, da jih očistiš: nanje poškropi vodo očiščevanja in naj obrijejo vse svoje meso in naj si operejo oblačila in se tako očistijo.
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.
Potem naj vzamejo mladega bikca z njegovo jedilno daritvijo, torej fino moko, umešano z oljem in še enega mladega bikca boš vzel za daritev za greh.
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:
Lévijevce boš privedel pred šotorsko svetišče skupnosti in skupaj boš zbral celoten zbor Izraelovih otrok.
10 And you shall bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands on the Levites:
Lévijevce boš privedel pred Gospoda in Izraelovi otroci bodo svoje roke položili na Lévijevce.
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.
Aron bo daroval Lévijevce pred Gospodom za daritev Izraelovih otrok, da bodo lahko opravljali Gospodovo službo.
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.
Lévijevci bodo svoje roke položili na glave bikcev in enega boš daroval za daritev za greh, drugega pa za žgalno daritev Gospodu, da opraviš spravo za Lévijevce.
13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to the LORD.
Lévijevce boš postavil pred Arona in pred njegove sinove in jih daroval za daritev Gospodu.
14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Tako boš Lévijevce oddvojil izmed Izraelovih otrok in Lévijevci bodo moji.
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.
Potem bodo Lévijevci vstopili, da opravljajo službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in ti jih boš očistil in jih daroval kot dar.
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.
Kajti oni so v celoti dani meni izmed Izraelovih otrok namesto tistega, ki odpre vsako maternico, celo namesto prvorojenca izmed vseh Izraelovih otrok sem jih vzel k sebi.
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.
Kajti vsi prvorojenci izmed Izraelovih otrok so moji, tako človek in žival. Na dan, ko sem udaril vsakega prvorojenca v egiptovski deželi, sem jih posvetil zase.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
Lévijevce sem vzel za vse prvorojence izmed Izraelovih otrok.
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.
Izmed Izraelovih otrok sem dal Lévijevce kakor darilo Aronu in njegovim otrokom, da opravljajo službo Izraelovih otrok v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti in da opravijo spravo za Izraelove otroke, da tam ne bo nadloge med Izraelovimi otroki, ko se Izraelovi otroci približajo svetišču.«
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.
Mojzes, Aron in vsa skupnost Izraelovih otrok so Lévijevcem storili glede na vse, kar je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu glede Lévijevcev, tako so jim Izraelovi otroci storili.
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.
Lévijevci so bili očiščeni in oprali so svoja oblačila in Aron jih je daroval kakor daritev pred Gospodom in Aron je zanje opravil spravo, da jih očisti.
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.
Potem so Lévijevci vstopili, da opravljajo svojo službo v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti pred Aronom in pred njegovimi sinovi. Kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu glede Lévijevcev, tako so jim storili.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
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:
»To je to, kar pripada Lévijevcem: od petindvajset let stari in starejši bodo vstopili, da čakajo na službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti,
25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
in od starosti petdesetih let bodo prenehali čakati na njegovo služenje in ne bodo več služili,
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.
temveč bodo služili s svojimi brati v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, da pazijo na zadolžitev in ne bodo opravljali služenja. Tako boš storil Lévijevcem glede njihove zadolžitve.«
