Numbers 8
1 YHWH 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 tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
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 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as YHWH commanded 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 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 YHWH had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
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 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
6 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse 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 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.
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 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.
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 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children 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 You shall present the Levites before YHWH. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on 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 offer the Levites before YHWH for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of YHWH.
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 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 YHWH, to make atonement for the Levites.
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 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to YHWH.
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 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites 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 "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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 I have taken the Levites instead of all the 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 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."
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 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that YHWH commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children 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 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before YHWH; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse 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 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as YHWH had commanded 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 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
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;
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 the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
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 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."
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
