< Numbers 8 >

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Korero ki a Arona, mea atu ki a ia, Ka tahuna e koe nga rama, kia marama i nga rama e whitu te wahi i mua o taua turanga rama.
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.
I pera ano a Arona; i meinga e ia kia ka nga rama ki te wahi i mua o te turanga rama; i pera ia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
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.
A ko te mahinga tenei o te turanga rama, he mea patu te koura; ko tona take, ko ona puawai, he mea patu; ko tana hanga i te turanga rama rite tonu ki te tauira i whakakitea e Ihowa ki a Mohi.
5 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
6 Take the Levites from among [the] people of Israel and you will purify them.
Tangohia nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, ka pure i a ratou.
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.
Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki a ratou, hei pure i a ratou: tauhiuhia ki a ratou he wai hei pure, kia heua o ratou tinana katoa, a me horoi e ratou o ratou kakahu, kia ma ai.
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.
Katahi ratou ka mau ki tetahi puru kuao, me tona whakahere totokore, ara te paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu; me tango ano e koe tetahi atu puru kuao hei whakahere hara.
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.
Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tawhiu mai ai i te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira:
10 And you will bring near the Levites before Yahweh and they will lay [the] people of Israel hands their on the Levites.
Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka popoki nga ringa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti:
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.
A me whakahere e Arona nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakahere poipoi ma nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho ratou hei mahi i te mahi a Ihowa.
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.
Na ka popoki nga ringa o nga Riwaiti ki runga ki nga matenga o nga puru: a me tuku tetahi e koe hei whakahere hara, tetahi hoki hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo nga Riwaiti.
13 And you will make stand the Levites before Aaron and before sons his and you will wave them a wave-offering to Yahweh.
Na ka whakatu koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Arona, ki te aroaro ano o ana tama, ka whakahere ai hei whakahere poipoi ki a Ihowa.
14 And you will separate the Levites from among [the] people of Israel and they will belong to me the Levites.
Na me momotu e koe nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, a maku nga Riwaiti.
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.
A, muri iho, ka haere nga Riwaiti ki roto, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a me pure ratou e koe, me whakahere hoki hei whakahere poipoi.
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.
Ka tukua rawatia mai hoki ratou ki ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: hei utu mo nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, ara mo nga matamua o nga tama katoa a Iharaira i tangohia ai ratou e ahau maku.
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.
Naku hoki nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga tangata me nga kararehe: no te ra i patua ai e ahau nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i a ratou maku.
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of every firstborn among [the] people of Israel.
Na ka tangohia nei e ahau nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
He mea hoatu naku nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, hei mahi i nga mahi a nga tama a Iharaira, i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamarie mo nga tama a Iharaira: kei pa te whiu ki nga tama a Iharaira, ina whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki te wahi tapu.
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.
Na, ko ta Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, pera tonu me nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti; i pera tonu nga tama a Iharaira ki a ratou.
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.
Na ka horohoroa nga Riwaiti, a ka horoia o ratou kakahu; a whakaherea ana ratou e Arona hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka whakamarie a Arona mo ratou hei pure mo ratou.
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.
A ka mutu tera, ka tomo nga Riwaiti ki te mahi i a ratou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aroaro o Arona, i te aroaro ano hoki o ana tama: pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti ra ratou i mea ai ki a ratou.
23 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
I korero ana a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.
Ko te mea tenei ma nga Riwaiti; ka rua tekau ma rima o ratou tau, ka maha ake ranei, me tomo ratou ki te mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
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.
Ka maha ake o ratou tau i te rima tekau, me whakamutu ta ratou mahi i nga mahi o reira, kaua ano hoki he mahi ma ratou i muri iho:
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.
Engari me minita tahi me o ratou tuakana i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tiaki i nga mea e tiakina ana, kaua hoki e mahi i tetahi mahi. Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, ina tiaki ratou.
