< Numbers 8 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
2 Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
“Bá Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀ kí o wí fún un pé. ‘Nígbà tí ó bá ń to àwọn fìtílà, àwọn fìtílà méjèèje gbọdọ̀ tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àyíká níwájú ọ̀pá fìtílà.’”
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aaroni sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀; ó to àwọn fìtílà náà tí wọ́n sì fi kojú síwájú lórí ọ̀pá fìtílà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
4 And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold, to its shaft, to the flowers of it, [was] beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Bí a ṣe ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà nìyìí, a ṣe é láti ara wúrà lílù: láti ìsàlẹ̀ títí dé ibi ìtànná rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí bátànì tí Olúwa fihan Mose.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Yọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, kí o sì wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
7 And thus shalt thou do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.
Báyìí ni kí o ṣe wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́. Wọ́n omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ sí wọn lára, mú kí wọn ó fá irun ara wọn, kí wọn ó fọ aṣọ wọn, kí wọn ó ba à lè wẹ ara wọn mọ́ nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat-offering, [even] fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
Jẹ́ kí wọn ó mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ rẹ̀ tí í ṣe ìyẹ̀fun ìyẹ̀fun kíkúnná dáradára tí a fi òróró pò, kí ìwọ náà mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù kejì fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt convene the whole assembly of the children of Israel:
Ìwọ ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí o sì kó gbogbo àpapọ̀ ọmọ Israẹli jọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
Báyìí ni kí o mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa, gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli yóò sì gbọ́wọ́ lé àwọn ọmọ Lefi lórí.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
Aaroni yóò sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wá, kí wọn lè máa ṣiṣẹ́ Olúwa.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin-offering, and the other [for] a burnt-offering, to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
“Lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi bá gbé ọwọ́ wọn lé orí àwọn akọ ọmọ màlúù náà, ìwọ yóò sì fi ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti èkejì fún ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa, láti ṣe ètùtù fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering to the LORD.
Mú kí àwọn ọmọ Lefi dúró níwájú Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kí ó sì gbé wọn kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì sí Olúwa.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ya ọmọ Lefi sọ́tọ̀, kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, àwọn ọmọ Lefi yóò sì jẹ́ tèmi.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.
“Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti wẹ àwọn ọmọ Lefi mọ́, tí ó sì ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀ bí ẹbọ fífì nígbà náà ni kí wọn ó lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
16 For they [are] wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.
Nítorí pé àwọn ni ó jẹ́ ti Èmi pátápátá nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mo ti gbà wọ́n fún ara mi dípò àwọn àkọ́bí àní àkọ́bí ọkùnrin gbogbo Israẹli.
17 For all the first born of the children of Israel [are] mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
Nítorí pé gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ lọ́kùnrin ní Israẹli jẹ́ tèmi, ti ènìyàn àti ti ẹranko, láti ọjọ́ tí mo ti pa gbogbo àkọ́bí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni mo ti yà wọ́n sọ́tọ̀ fún ara mi.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children of Israel.
Mo sì ti gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ ọkùnrin nínú Israẹli.
19 And 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there may be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh to the sanctuary.
Nínú Israẹli, mo fi àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé fun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti láti máa ṣe ètùtù fún wọn kí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn má ba à kọlu àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́.”
20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.
Mose, Aaroni àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
Àwọn ọmọ Lefi wẹ ara wọn mọ́, wọ́n sì fọ aṣọ wọn. Aaroni sì mú wọn wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì níwájú Olúwa, Aaroni sì ṣe ètùtù fún wọn láti wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
22 And after that went the Levites in to perform their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
Lẹ́yìn èyí àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé láti lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ wọn lábẹ́ àbojútó Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
24 This [is it] that [belongeth] to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
“Èyí ni ohun tó jẹ mọ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi, láti ọmọ ọdún kẹẹdọ́gbọ̀n tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ni kí ó máa kópa nínú iṣẹ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé.
25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tó bá ti pé ọmọ àádọ́ta ọdún gbọdọ̀ ṣíwọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ ojoojúmọ́ wọn nínú àgọ́, kí wọ́n sì má ṣiṣẹ́ mọ́.
26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do to the Levites concerning their charge.
Wọ́n le máa ran àwọn arákùnrin wọn lọ́wọ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé ṣùgbọ́n àwọn fúnra wọn kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ kankan. Báyìí ni kí o ṣe pín iṣẹ́ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.”
