Numbers 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
2 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light opposite to the candlestick.
“Pale avèk Aaron e di li: ‘Lè ou monte lanp yo, sèt lanp sa yo va bay limyè pa devan chandelye a.’”
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof opposite to the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Konsa, Aaron te fè sa. Li te monte lanp pa li a pa devan chandelye a, jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Men kòman mendèv chandelye a te ye; fèt avèk lò ki bat, soti nan baz li jis rive nan flè yo, li te yon travay ki bat. Selon modèl ke SENYÈ a te montre a Moïse la, konsa li te fè chandelye a.
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Pran Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo e fè yo vin pwòp.
7 And thus shall you do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
Se konsa ou va fè pou fè yo vin pwòp: flite dlo ki pirifye sou yo. Kite yo pase razwa sou tout kò yo e lave rad yo; epi yo va vin pwòp.
8 Then let them take a young bullock with his food offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shall you take for a sin offering.
Konsa, kite yo pran yon towo avèk ofrann sereyal li a, farin fen mele avèk lwil; epi yon dezyèm towo, ou va pran kòm yon ofrann peche.
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:
Alò, ou va prezante Levit yo devan Tant Asanble a. Ou va osi rasanble tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo.
10 And you shall bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
Ou va prezante Levit yo devan SENYÈ a. Fis Israël yo va poze men yo sou Levit yo,
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.
epi Aaron va prezante Levit yo devan SENYÈ a kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la, soti nan fis Israël yo, pou yo kapab kalifye pou fè sèvis SENYÈ a.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
“Alò, Levit yo va poze men yo sou tèt a towo yo, epi ou va ofri youn kòm yon ofrann peche, e lòt la kòm yon ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a pou fè ekspiyasyon pou Levit yo.
13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
Ou va fè Levit yo kanpe devan Aaron ak devan fis li yo pou prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la bay SENYÈ a.
14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Konsa, ou va separe Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo, e Levit yo va vin pou Mwen.
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.
“Epi apre sa, Levit yo kapab antre pou fè sèvis nan Tant Asanble a. Konsa, ou va netwaye yo e prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la;
16 For they are wholly given unto 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 unto me.
paske yo te vin pou Mwen nèt soti nan fis Israël yo. Mwen te pran yo pou Mwen menm nan plas a tout sila ki sòti nan vant yo, premye ne nan tout fis Israël yo.
17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I stroke every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
Paske tout gason premye ne pami fis Israël yo se pou Mwen, pami moun yo, ak pami bèt yo. Nan jou ke M te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, Mwen te sanktifye yo pou Mwen menm.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
Men Mwen te pran Levit yo nan plas a chak premye ne pami fis Israël yo.
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 nigh unto the sanctuary.
Mwen te bay Levit yo kòm yon kado bay Aaron ak fis li yo soti pami fis Israël yo, pou ranpli sèvis a fis Israël yo nan Tant Asanble a, e pou fè ekspiyasyon pou fis Israël yo, jis pou pa vin gen gwo epidemi pami fis Israël yo akoz ke yo vin pwoche toupre sanktyè a.”
20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
Konsa Moïse avèk Aaron, ak tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo te fè pou Levit yo. Selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse konsènan Levit yo, konsa fis Israël yo te fè yo.
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.
Levit yo tou, te pirifye yo menm de peche e te lave rad yo. Aaron te prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la devan SENYÈ a. Aaron, osi, te fè ekspiyasyon pou yo, pou fè yo vin pwòp.
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 unto them.
Epi apre Levit yo te antre pou fè sèvis pa yo nan Tant Asanble a, devan Aaron ak devan fis li yo: jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse konsènan Levit yo, se konsa yo te fè pou yo.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
24 This is it that belongs unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
“Sa se lòd ki aplike pou Levit yo: soti nan laj venn-senkan e plis, yo va antre pou fè sèvis nan travay a Tant Asanble a.
25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
Men nan laj a senkantan, yo va pran retrèt nan sèvis travay la. Yo p ap travay ankò.
26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do unto the Levites concerning their charge.
Sepandan, yo va asiste frè yo nan Tant Asanble a, pou kenbe devwa yo, men yo pa pou travay yo menm. Konsa ou va aji avèk Levit yo konsènan devwa yo.”
