Numbers 8
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
И рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
2 “Speak to Aaron. Say to him, 'The seven lamps must give light in front of the lampstand when you light them.'”
Кажи Арону и реци му: Кад запалиш жишке, седам жижака нека светли напред, на свећњаку.
3 Aaron did this. He lit the lamps on the lampstand to give light toward the front of it, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
И учини Арон тако, и запали жишке да светле спреда, на свећњаку, као што Господ заповеди Мојсију.
4 The lampstand was made in this way and Yahweh showed Moses the pattern for it. It was to be hammered gold from its base to its top, with hammered cups like blossoms.
А свећњак беше скован од злата, и ступац му и цвеће сковано; по прилици коју показа Господ Мојсију тако беше начинио свећњак.
5 Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Још рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
6 “Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and purify them.
Узми Левите између синова Израиљевих, и очисти их.
7 Do this to them to purify them: Sprinkle the water of atonement on them. Make them shave their entire body, wash their clothes, and in this way purify themselves.
А учини им ово да их очистиш: покропи их водом очишћења, а они нека обрију све тело своје и оперу хаљине своје, и очистиће се.
8 Then have them take a young bull and its grain offering of fine flour mingled with oil. Let them take another young bull as a sin offering.
Потом нека узму теле с даром уз њега, белим брашном помешаним с уљем; и друго теле узми за грех.
9 You will bring the Levites in front of the tent of meeting and assemble the whole community of the people of Israel.
Па доведи Левите пред шатор од састанка, и сазови сав збор синова Израиљевих.
10 When you bring the Levites before Yahweh, the people of Israel must lay their hands on the Levites.
И доведи Левите пред Господа, и нека метну синови Израиљеви руке своје на Левите.
11 Aaron must offer the Levites before Yahweh, as a wave offering from the people of Israel so that they may do the service of Yahweh.
И Арон нека принесе Левите Господу за принос од синова Израиљевих да врше службу Господу.
12 The Levites must place their hands on the heads of the bulls. You must offer one bull for a sin offering and the other bull for a burnt offering to me, to atone for the Levites.
А Левити нека метну руке своје на главе теоцима, па принеси једно теле за грех а друго на жртву паљеницу Господу да се очисте Левити.
13 Present the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and lift them up as a wave offering to me.
И постави Левите пред Ароном и синовима његовим, и принеси их за принос Господу.
14 In this way you must separate the Levites from among the people of Israel. The Levites will belong to me.
И одвој Левите између синова Израиљевих да буду моји Левити.
15 After that, the Levites must go in to serve in the tent of meeting. You must purify them. You must offer them as a wave offering.
А после нека дођу Левити да служе у шатору од састанка, кад их очистиш и принесеш за принос.
16 Do this, because they are entirely mine from among the people of Israel. They will take the place of each male child who opens the womb, the firstborn of all the descendants of Israel. I have taken the Levites for myself.
Јер су мени дани између синова Израиљевих; за све што отвара материцу, за све првенце између синова Израиљевих узех њих.
17 All the firstborn from among the people of Israel are mine, both of people and of animals. On the day that I took the lives of all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set them apart for myself.
Јер је мој сваки првенац између синова Израиљевих и од људи и од стоке; онај дан кад побих све првенце у земљи мисирској, посветио сам их себи.
18 I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of all the firstborn.
А Левите узех за све првенце синова Израиљевих.
19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons. I have taken them from among the people of Israel to do the work of the people of Israel in the tent of meeting. I have given them to atone for the people of Israel so that no plague will harm the people when they come near to the holy place.”
И дадох Левите на дар Арону и синовима његовим између синова Израиљевих, да служе место синова Израиљевих у шатору од састанка, и да буду откуп за синове Израиљеве, да не би долазио помор на синове Израиљеве, кад би приступали к светињи синови Израиљеви.
20 Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of the people of Israel did this with the Levites. They did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites. The people of Israel did this with them.
И учини Мојсије и Арон и сав збор синова Израиљевих Левитима све што заповеди Господ Мојсију за Левите, тако им учинише синови Израиљеви.
21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothing, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering to Yahweh and he made atonement for them to cleanse them.
И очистише се Левити, и опраше хаљине своје, и принесе их Арон за принос пред Господом, и очисти их Арон да би били чисти.
22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before Aaron's sons. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses about the Levites. They treated all the Levites in this way.
А онда тек приступише Левити да врше службу своју у шатору од састанка пред Ароном и пред синовима његовим; као што заповеди Господ Мојсију за Левите, тако им учинише.
23 Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
И опет рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
24 “All of this is for the Levites who are twenty-five years old and more. They must join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
И ово је за Левите: од двадесет и пет година и више нека ступају у службу да служе у шатору од састанка.
25 They must stop serving in this way at the age of fifty years. At that age they must not serve any longer.
А кад коме буде педесет година, нека излази из те службе и више нека не служи.
26 They may help their brothers who continue to work at the tent of meeting, but they must serve no more. You must direct the Levites in all these matters.”
Али нека служи браћи својој у шатору од састанка радећи шта треба радити, а сам нека не врши службу. Тако учини Левитима за послове њихове.
