Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
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.
“Bá Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀ kí o wí fún un pé. ‘Nígbà tí ó bá ń to àwọn fìtílà, àwọn fìtílà méjèèje gbọdọ̀ tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àyíká níwájú ọ̀pá fìtílà.’”
3 And Aaron did so; toward the body of the candlestick did he light its lamps; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Aaroni sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀; ó to àwọn fìtílà náà tí wọ́n sì fi kojú síwájú lórí ọ̀pá fìtílà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
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.
Bí a ṣe ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà nìyìí, a ṣe é láti ara wúrà lílù: láti ìsàlẹ̀ títí dé ibi ìtànná rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí bátànì tí Olúwa fihan Mose.
5 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
6 Take the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Yọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, kí o sì wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
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.
Báyìí ni kí o ṣe wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́. Wọ́n omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ sí wọn lára, mú kí wọn ó fá irun ara wọn, kí wọn ó fọ aṣọ wọn, kí wọn ó ba à lè wẹ ara wọn mọ́ nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Jẹ́ kí wọn ó mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ rẹ̀ tí í ṣe ìyẹ̀fun ìyẹ̀fun kíkúnná dáradára tí a fi òróró pò, kí ìwọ náà mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù kejì fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
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.
Ìwọ ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí o sì kó gbogbo àpapọ̀ ọmọ Israẹli jọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
10 And when thou hast brought near the Levites before the Lord, then shall the children of Israel lay their hands upon the Levites:
Báyìí ni kí o mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa, gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli yóò sì gbọ́wọ́ lé àwọn ọmọ Lefi lórí.
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.
Aaroni yóò sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wá, kí wọn lè máa ṣiṣẹ́ Olúwa.
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.
“Lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi bá gbé ọwọ́ wọn lé orí àwọn akọ ọmọ màlúù náà, ìwọ yóò sì fi ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti èkejì fún ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa, láti ṣe ètùtù fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
13 And thou shalt place the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and make with them a waving before the Lord.
Mú kí àwọn ọmọ Lefi dúró níwájú Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kí ó sì gbé wọn kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì sí Olúwa.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ya ọmọ Lefi sọ́tọ̀, kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, àwọn ọmọ Lefi yóò sì jẹ́ tèmi.
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.
“Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti wẹ àwọn ọmọ Lefi mọ́, tí ó sì ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀ bí ẹbọ fífì nígbà náà ni kí wọn ó lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
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.
Nítorí pé àwọn ni ó jẹ́ ti Èmi pátápátá nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mo ti gbà wọ́n fún ara mi dípò àwọn àkọ́bí àní àkọ́bí ọkùnrin gbogbo Israẹli.
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.
Nítorí pé gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ lọ́kùnrin ní Israẹli jẹ́ tèmi, ti ènìyàn àti ti ẹranko, láti ọjọ́ tí mo ti pa gbogbo àkọ́bí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni mo ti yà wọ́n sọ́tọ̀ fún ara mi.
18 And I have taken the Levites, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Mo sì ti gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ ọkùnrin nínú Israẹli.
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.
Nínú Israẹli, mo fi àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé fun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti láti máa ṣe ètùtù fún wọn kí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn má ba à kọlu àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́.”
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.
Mose, Aaroni àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Lefi wẹ ara wọn mọ́, wọ́n sì fọ aṣọ wọn. Aaroni sì mú wọn wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì níwájú Olúwa, Aaroni sì ṣe ètùtù fún wọn láti wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
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.
Lẹ́yìn èyí àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé láti lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ wọn lábẹ́ àbojútó Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
23 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
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;
“Èyí ni ohun tó jẹ mọ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi, láti ọmọ ọdún kẹẹdọ́gbọ̀n tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ni kí ó máa kópa nínú iṣẹ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé.
25 And from the age of fifty years shall he go out of the ranks of the service, and he shall serve no more;
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tó bá ti pé ọmọ àádọ́ta ọdún gbọdọ̀ ṣíwọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ ojoojúmọ́ wọn nínú àgọ́, kí wọ́n sì má ṣiṣẹ́ mọ́.
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.
Wọ́n le máa ran àwọn arákùnrin wọn lọ́wọ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé ṣùgbọ́n àwọn fúnra wọn kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ kankan. Báyìí ni kí o ṣe pín iṣẹ́ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.”
