< Numbers 8 >

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, then shall the seven lamps give light toward the body of the candlestick.
“Kasaom ni Aaron. Ibagam kenkuana, 'Masapul a dagiti pito a pagsilawan ket lawaganda ti sangoanan iti kandelero no sindiam dagitoy.'”
3 And Aaron did so; toward the body of the candlestick did he light its lamps; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Inaramid ni Aaron daytoy. Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti kandelero a manglawag ti sangoanan daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
4 And this was the workmanship of the candlestick: It was of beaten gold, from the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so made he the candlestick.
Naaramid ti kandelero iti kastoy a wagas: impakita ni Yahweh ti pagtuladan iti daytoy kenni Moises: napitpit a balitok manipud iti puonna inggana iti tuktokna, nga addaan kadagiti napitpit a kopa a kasla sabsabong.
5 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
6 Take the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Alaem dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket dalusam ida.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle upon them water of purification, after they have let the razor pass over all their flesh, and then let them wash their clothes, and so shall they be clean.
Aramidem daytoy a kas panangdalus kadakuada: Iwarsim kadakuada ti danum a pangdalus. Pakuskosam kadakuada ti entero a bagida, labaanda dagiti pagan-anayda, ket iti kastoy a wagas madalusan ti bagbagida.
8 And they shall take a young bullock with his meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
Kalpasanna, pangalaem ida iti kalakian a baka ken daton a trigo a naaramid nga arina a nagamay iti lana. Pangalaem ida iti sabali a kalakian a baka a kas daton gapu iti basol.
9 And thou shalt bring near the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt assemble together the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanan iti tabernakulo, ken ummongem ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
10 And when thou hast brought near the Levites before the Lord, then shall the children of Israel lay their hands upon the Levites:
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, Siak ni Yahweh. Masapul nga ipatay dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti im-imada kadagiti Levita.
11 And Aaron shall make with the Levites a waving before the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may be ready to execute the service of the Lord.
Masapul nga idaton ni Aaron dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, idatagna ida a kasla nakatag-ayda ti nangato iti sangoananna, iti biang dagiti tattao ti Israel. Masapul nga aramidenna daytoy tapno mapagserbiandak dagiti Levita.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt prepare the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.
Masapul nga ikabil dagiti Levita dagiti imada kadagiti ulo dagiti kalakian a baka. Masapul a mangidatonka iti maysa a kalakian a baka para iti daton gapu iti basol ken ti sabali a kalakian a baka para iti daton a maipuor a para kaniak, a pangabbong ti basol dagiti Levita.
13 And thou shalt place the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and make with them a waving before the Lord.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti imatang ni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki, ken itag-aymo ida a kas daton kaniak.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Iti daytoy a wagas, masapul nga isinam dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kukuakto dagiti Levita.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: after thou shalt have cleansed them, and made with them a waving.
Kalpasan dayta, masapul a sumrek dagiti Levita nga agserbi iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Masapul a dalusam ida. Masapul nga itag-aymo ida kaniak a kas daton.
16 For they are wholly given unto me from the midst of the children of Israel: instead of every one that openeth the womb, of every first-born of the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Aramidem daytoy, gapu ta kukuak laeng ida manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel. Isuda ti mangsukat iti tunggal anak a lalaki a manglukat ti aanakan, dagiti inauna dagiti amin a kaputotan ti Israel. Innalak dagiti Levita para kaniak.
17 For mine are all the first-born of the children of Israel, both of man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt did I sanctify them unto myself.
Kukuak amin nga inauna manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel, dagiti tattao ken dagiti ay-ayup. Iti aldaw nga innalak dagiti bibiag dagiti inauna nga annak idiay daga ti Egipto, inlasinko ida para kaniak.
18 And I have taken the Levites, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Innalak dagiti Levita kadagiti tattao ti Israel imbes a dagiti amin nga inauna nga annak.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from the midst of 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.
Intedko dagiti Levita a kas sagut kenni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki. Innalak ida kadagiti tattao iti Israel a mangaramid ti trabaho dagiti tattao ti Israel iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Intedko ida a mangsubbot kadagiti basbasol dagiti tattao ti Israel tapno awan ti dididgra a mangdangran kadagiti tattao no umasidegda iti nasantoan a disso.”
20 And so did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites: according unto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
Inaramid daytoy da Moises, Aaron ken ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao iti Israel kadagiti Levita. Inaramidda amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipapan kadagiti Levita. Inaramid daytoy dagiti tattao iti Israel kadakuada.
21 And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron made with them a waving before the Lord: and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
Dinalusan dagiti Levita dagiti bagbagida manipud iti basol babaen iti pananglabada kadagiti pagan-anayda. Indatag ida ni Aaron a kas daton kenni Yahweh ken inaramidna ti pannakaabbong a maipaay kadakuada, tapno madalusanna ida.
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.
Kalpasan dayta, simrek dagiti Levita tapno agtrabahoda iti uneg ti tabernakulo iti imatang da Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Sigun daytoy iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipanggep kadagiti Levita. Trinatoda amin dagiti Levita iti kastoy a wagas.
23 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
24 This shall be the rule for the Levites: From twenty and five years old and upward shall he go into the ranks to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation;
“Amin dagitoy ket para kadagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo ket lima nga agpangato. Masapul a makitiponda kadagiti dadduma a kakaduada nga agserbi iti uneg iti tabernakulo.
25 And from the age of fifty years shall he go out of the ranks of the service, and he shall serve no more;
Masapul a sumardengdan nga agserserbi iti kastoy a wagas iti tawen a lima pulo. Iti dayta a tawen, saandan a masapul nga agserbi pay.
26 But he shall wait on his brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, but the service shall he not perform; thus shalt thou do unto the Levites in the discharge of their office.
Mabalinda a tulongan dagiti kakabsatda nga agtultuloy nga agtrabaho iti uneg iti tabernakulo, ngem saandan a rumbeng nga agserbi pay. Masapul nga idalanmo dagiti Levita kadagitoy amin a banbanag.”
