Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
2 Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him, Whenever you shall set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
アロンに告て之に言へ汝燈火を燃す時は七の燈盞をして均く燈臺の前を照さしむべし
3 And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
アロンすなはち然なし燈火を燈臺の前の方にむけて燃せりヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如し
4 And this [is] the construction of the candlestick: [it is] solid, golden—its stem, and its lilies—all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
燈臺の作法は是のごとし是は槌にて椎て作れる者即ちその臺座よりその花まで槌にて椎て作れる者なりモーセ、ヱホバの己に示したまへる式樣にてらしてこの燈臺を作れり
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
6 Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and you shall purify them.
レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取てこれを潔めよ
7 And thus shall you perform their purification: you shall sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean.
汝かく彼らに爲て之を潔むべし即ち罪を潔むる水を彼等に灑ぎかけ彼等にその身をことごとく剃しめその衣服を洗はしめて之を潔め
8 And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and you shall take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
而して彼等に若き牡牛一匹と麥粉に油を和たる者を取しめよ汝また別に若き牡牛を罪祭のために取べし
9 And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and you shall assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
斯て汝レビ人を集會の幕屋の前に携きたりてイスラエルの子孫の全會を集め
10 And you shall bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
而してレビ人をヱホバの前に進ましめてイスラエルの子孫に其手をレビ人の上に按しむべし
11 And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord.
而してイスラエルの子孫の爲にレビ人を搖祭となしてヱホバの前に献ぐべし是彼らをしてヱホバの勤務を爲しめんためなり
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and you shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.
斯て汝レビ人にその手をかの牛の頭に按しめその一を燔祭となしてヱホバに献げ之をもてレビ人のために贖罪をなすべし
13 And you shall set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and you shall give them as a gift before the Lord.
即ちレビ人をアロンとその子等の前に立しめ之を搖祭となしてヱホバに献ぐべし
14 And you shall separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
汝レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より區分ちレビ人をしてわが所屬とならしむべし
15 And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and you shall purify them, and present them before the Lord.
斯て後レビ人は入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし汝かれらを潔め之を献げて搖祭となすべし
16 For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel that open every womb.
彼らはイスラエルの子孫の中よりして我に献げらるる者なりイスラエルの子孫の中なる始に生れたる者すなはちその首出子の代に我かれらを取なり
17 For every firstborn among the children of Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
イスラエルの子孫の中の首出子は人たるも獣たるも凡てわが所屬となるべし其は我エジプトの地において首出子を盡く撃ころしたる時に彼等を聖者となして我に屬せしめたればなり
18 And I took the Levites in the place of every firstborn among the children of Israel.
是をもて我イスラエルの子孫の中の一切の首出子の代にレビ人を取なり
19 And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw near to the holy things.
我イスラエルの子孫の中よりレビ人を取て之をアロンとその子等に與へ之をして集合の幕屋においてイスラエルの子孫に代てその役事を爲しめまたイスラエルの子孫のために贖罪をなさしめん是イスラエルの子孫が聖所に近く時にイスラエルの子孫の中に災害の起ざらんためなり
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
モーセとアロンおよびイスラエルの子孫の全會衆ヱホバがレビ人の事につきてモーセに命じたまへる所に悉くしたがひてレビ人におこなへり即ちイスラエルの子孫かくの如く彼等に行ひたり
21 So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
レビ人是に於てその身を潔め衣服を洗ひたればアロンかれらをヱホバの前に献て搖祭となしアロンまた彼らのために贖罪をなして之を潔めたり
22 And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
斯て後レビ人は集會の幕屋に入てアロンとその子等の前にてその役事を爲り彼等はレビ人の事につきてヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる所に循ひて斯のごとく之を行ひたり
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
24 This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness.
レビ人は斯なすべし即ち二十五歳以上の者は軍団に入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし
25 And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
然ど五十歳よりは軍団を退きて休み重て役事をなすべからず
26 And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shall you do to the Levites in their charges.
唯集會の幕屋においてその兄弟等をつかさどり且伺ひ守ることを勤むべし役事を爲すべからず汝レビ人をしてその職務をなさしむるには斯のごとくなすべし
