Numbers 8

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:

2 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"

Kaži Aronu i reci mu: kad zapališ žiške, sedam žižaka neka svijetli sprijed na svijetnjaku.

3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.

I uèini Aron tako, i zapali žiške da svijetle sprijed na svijetnjaku, kao što Gospod zapovjedi Mojsiju.

4 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

A svijetnjak bješe skovan od zlata, i stupac mu i cvijeæe skovano; po prilici koju pokaza Gospod Mojsiju tako bješe naèinio svijetnjak.

5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Još reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:

6 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

Uzmi Levite izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, i oèisti ih.

7 You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.

A uèini im ovo da ih oèistiš: pokropi ih vodom oèišæenja, a oni neka obriju sve tijelo svoje i operu haljine svoje, i oèistiæe se.

8 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.

Potom neka uzmu tele s darom uz njega, bijelim brašnom pomiješanim s uljem; i drugo tele uzmi za grijeh.

9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.

Pa dovedi Levite pred šator od sastanka, i sazovi sav zbor sinova Izrailjevijeh.

10 You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,

I dovedi Levite pred Gospoda, i neka metnu sinovi Izrailjevi ruke svoje na Levite.

11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.

I Aron neka prinese Levite Gospodu za prinos od sinova Izrailjevijeh da vrše službu Gospodu.

12 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.

A Leviti neka metnu ruke svoje na glave teocima, pa prinesi jedno tele za grijeh a drugo na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu da se oèiste Leviti.

13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.

I postavi Levite pred Aronom i sinovima njegovijem, i prinesi ih za prinos Gospodu.

14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.

I odvoj Levite izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh da budu moji Leviti.

15 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.

A poslije neka doðu Leviti da služe u šatoru od sastanka, kad ih oèistiš i prineseš za prinos.

16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.

Jer su meni dani izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh; za sve što otvora matericu, za sve prvence izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh uzeh njih.

17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.

Jer je moj svaki prvenac meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem i od ljudi i od stoke; onaj dan kad pobih sve prvence u zemlji Misirskoj, posvetio sam ih sebi.

18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

A Levite uzeh za sve prvence sinova Izrailjevijeh.

19 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 Tent of Meeting, and to make 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."

I dadoh Levite na dar Aronu i sinovima njegovijem izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, da služe mjesto sinova Izrailjevijeh u šatoru od sastanka, i da budu otkup za sinove Izrailjeve, da ne bi dolazio pomor na sinove Izrailjeve, kad bi pristupali k svetinji sinovi Izrailjevi.

20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.

I uèini Mojsije i Aron i sav zbor sinova Izrailjevijeh Levitima sve što zapovjedi Gospod Mojsiju za Levite, tako im uèiniše sinovi Izrailjevi.

21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.

I oèistiše se Leviti, i opraše haljine svoje, i prinese ih Aron za prinos pred Gospodom, i oèisti ih Aron da bi bili èisti.

22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

I onda tek pristupiše Leviti da vrše službu svoju u šatoru od sastanka pred Aronom i pred sinovima njegovijem; kao što zapovjedi Gospod Mojsiju za Levite, tako im uèiniše.

23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

I opet reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:

24 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;

I ovo je za Levite: od dvadeset i pet godina i više neka stupaju u službu da služe u šatoru od sastanka.

25 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,

A kad kome bude pedeset godina, neka izlazi iz te službe i više neka ne služi.

26 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."

Ali neka služi braæi svojoj u šatoru od sastanka radeæi što treba raditi, a sam neka ne vrši službe. Tako uèini Levitima za poslove njihove.
