Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Speak to Aaron and you will say to him when lifting up you the lamps to [the] front of [the] face of the lampstand they will give light [the] seven the lamps.
“Yogera ne Alooni omugambe nti, ‘Bw’oba oteekateeka ettaala omusanvu, zisaana zaake nga zimulisa ebbanga eryo eriri mu maaso g’ekikondo ky’ettaala.’”
3 And he did so Aaron to [the] front of [the] face of the lampstand he lifted up lamps its just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
Alooni n’akola bw’atyo; n’akoleeza ettaala ne zaaka nga zimulisa ebbanga eryali mu maaso g’ekikondo ky’ettaala, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
4 And this [was] [the] work of the lampstand hammered work gold to base its to blossom its [was] hammered work it like the appearance which he had shown Yahweh Moses so he made the lampstand.
Ekikondo ky’ettaala kyakolebwa mu ngeri eno: kyaweesebwa mu zaabu okuva ku ntobo yaakyo okutuuka ku bimuli byakyo. Ekikondo ky’ettaala kyakolebwa ng’ekifaananyi ekyokulabirako Mukama Katonda kye yalaga Musa bwe kyali.
5 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
6 Take the Levites from among [the] people of Israel and you will purify them.
“Ggyamu Abaleevi mu baana ba Isirayiri, obafuule balongoofu.
7 And thus you will do to them to purify them spatter on them water of sin offering and they will cause to pass a razor over all body their and they will wash clothes their and they will purify themselves.
Okubafuula abalongoofu ojja kukola bw’oti: bamansireko amazzi ag’obulongoofu, obalagire bamwe omubiri gwabwe gwonna, era booze n’engoye zaabwe, bwe batyo bafuuke abalongoofu.
8 And they will take a young bull a young one of cattle and grain offering its fine flour mixed with oil and a young bull second a young one of cattle you will take to a sin offering.
Balagire baweeyo ente ya sseddume ento n’ekiweebwayo ekigenderako eky’obuwunga obulungi obutabuddwamu amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni; n’oluvannyuma naawe oddire ente ya sseddume ento ogiweeyo olw’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi.
9 And you will bring near the Levites before [the] tent of meeting and you will assemble all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.
Abaleevi obaleete mu maaso ga Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era okuŋŋaanyize awo ekibiina ky’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna.
10 And you will bring near the Levites before Yahweh and they will lay [the] people of Israel hands their on the Levites.
Onooleeta Abaleevi mu maaso ga Mukama, era abaana ba Isirayiri bajja kussa emikono gyabwe ku Baleevi abo.
11 And he will wave Aaron the Levites a wave-offering before Yahweh from with [the] people of Israel and they will be to serve [the] service of Yahweh.
Alooni ajja kuwaayo Abaleevi eri Mukama Katonda ng’ekiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa ekivudde mu baana ba Isirayiri, bwe batyo babe nga beetegese okukola omulimu gwa Mukama.
12 And the Levites they will lay hands their on [the] head of the young bulls and offer the one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering to Yahweh to make atonement on the Levites.
“Abaleevi banassa emikono gyabwe ku mitwe gy’ente zisseddume zombi; emu onoogiwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’endala ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda, okutangiririra Abaleevi.
13 And you will make stand the Levites before Aaron and before sons his and you will wave them a wave-offering to Yahweh.
Ojja kuyimiriza Abaleevi mu maaso ga Alooni ne batabani be, olyoke obaweeyo eri Mukama Katonda ng’ekiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa.
14 And you will separate the Levites from among [the] people of Israel and they will belong to me the Levites.
“Bw’otyo bw’onooyawula Abaleevi okuva mu baana ba Isirayiri, era Abaleevi banaabanga bange.
15 And after thus they will go the Levites to serve [the] tent of meeting and you will purify them and you will wave them a wave-offering.
“Ebyo nga biwedde Abaleevi banaayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ne baweereza, ng’omaze okubafuula abalongoofu era ng’obawaddeyo ng’ekiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa.
16 For [are] assigned assigned they to me from among [the] people of Israel in place of [the] firstborn of every womb [the] firstborn of all from [the] people of Israel I have taken them for myself.
Kubanga bampeereddwa ddala nga bava mu baana ba Isirayiri. Mbeetwalidde nga be bange ddala mu kifo ky’ababereberye, eky’abaana aboobulenzi ababereberye abazaalibwa buli mukazi Omuyisirayiri.
17 For [belongs] to me every firstborn among [the] people of Israel among humankind and among the livestock on [the] day struck I every firstborn in [the] land of Egypt I set apart them for myself.
Buli ekizaalibwa kyonna mu Isirayiri ekisajja nga kibereberye, oba muntu oba nsolo, kyange. Bwe nazikiriza ebibereberye byonna eby’omu nsi y’e Misiri, ebya Isirayiri nabyeyawulirako ne biba byange.
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of every firstborn among [the] people of Israel.
Kaakano ntutte Abaleevi mu kifo ky’ababereberye mu baana ba Isirayiri.
19 And I have given! the Levites given [things] - to Aaron and to sons his from among [the] people of Israel to serve [the] service of [the] people of Israel in [the] tent of meeting and to make atonement on [the] people of Israel and not it will be among [the] people of Israel a plague when draw near [the] people of Israel to the holy place.
Nzigye Abaleevi mu baana ba Isirayiri ne mbagabira Alooni ne batabani be ng’ekirabo, bakolererenga abaana ba Isirayiri nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu nga batangiririra abaana ba Isirayiri balemenga kulumbibwa kawumpuli nga babadde basemberedde awatukuvu.”
20 And he did Moses and Aaron and all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel to the Levites according to all that he had commanded Yahweh Moses of the Levites so they did to them [the] people of Israel.
Bwe batyo Musa ne Alooni n’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola ku Baleevi ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
21 And they purified themselves the Levites and they washed clothes their and he waved Aaron them a wave-offering before Yahweh and he made atonement on them Aaron to purify them.
Abaleevi ne bayoza engoye zaabwe, ne Alooni n’abawaayo ng’ekiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa eri Mukama Katonda, n’abatangiririra okubafuula abalongoofu.
22 And after thus they went the Levites to serve service their in [the] tent of meeting before Aaron and before sons his just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses on the Levites so they did to them.
Ebyo bwe byaggwa Abaleevi ne bajja okukola omulimu gwabwe nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga balabirirwa Alooni ne batabani be. Baakola byonna ku Baleevi nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
23 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
24 This [is that] which [is] to the Levites from a son of five and twenty year[s] and up-wards he will go to serve service in [the] service of [the] tent of meeting.
“Bino bye bikwata ku Baleevi: Abasajja ab’emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano egy’obukulu n’okusingawo, banajjanga ne batandika emirimu gyabwe mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu;
25 And from a son of fifty year[s] he will turn back from [the] service of the service and not he will serve again.
naye bwe banaawezanga emyaka egy’obukulu amakumi ataano banaawummuliranga ddala ne bava ku mirimu emitongole egya bulijjo ne bateeyongera kuweereza.
26 And he will serve brothers his in [the] tent of meeting by keeping a duty and service not he will serve thus you will do to the Levites in duties their.
Naye banaayinzanga okudduukirirako ku booluganda abanaabanga bakola emirimu egyo mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, naye bo ku lwabwe tebaakolenga mirimu egyo mu butongole. Bw’otyo bw’onootegekanga emirimu gy’Abaleevi.”
