< Numbers 8 >

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
“Kasaom ni Aaron. Ibagam kenkuana, 'Masapul a dagiti pito a pagsilawan ket lawaganda ti sangoanan iti kandelero no sindiam dagitoy.'”
3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Inaramid ni Aaron daytoy. Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti kandelero a manglawag ti sangoanan daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
4 This was the workmanship of the lamp stand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work. He made the lamp stand according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses.
Naaramid ti kandelero iti kastoy a wagas: impakita ni Yahweh ti pagtuladan iti daytoy kenni Moises: napitpit a balitok manipud iti puonna inggana iti tuktokna, nga addaan kadagiti napitpit a kopa a kasla sabsabong.
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Alaem dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket dalusam ida.
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, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Aramidem daytoy a kas panangdalus kadakuada: Iwarsim kadakuada ti danum a pangdalus. Pakuskosam kadakuada ti entero a bagida, labaanda dagiti pagan-anayda, ket iti kastoy a wagas madalusan ti bagbagida.
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.
Kalpasanna, pangalaem ida iti kalakian a baka ken daton a trigo a naaramid nga arina a nagamay iti lana. Pangalaem ida iti sabali a kalakian a baka a kas daton gapu iti basol.
9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanan iti tabernakulo, ken ummongem ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
10 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, Siak ni Yahweh. Masapul nga ipatay dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti im-imada kadagiti Levita.
11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
Masapul nga idaton ni Aaron dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, idatagna ida a kasla nakatag-ayda ti nangato iti sangoananna, iti biang dagiti tattao ti Israel. Masapul nga aramidenna daytoy tapno mapagserbiandak dagiti Levita.
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 Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
Masapul nga ikabil dagiti Levita dagiti imada kadagiti ulo dagiti kalakian a baka. Masapul a mangidatonka iti maysa a kalakian a baka para iti daton gapu iti basol ken ti sabali a kalakian a baka para iti daton a maipuor a para kaniak, a pangabbong ti basol dagiti Levita.
13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti imatang ni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki, ken itag-aymo ida a kas daton kaniak.
14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Iti daytoy a wagas, masapul nga isinam dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kukuakto dagiti Levita.
15 “After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
Kalpasan dayta, masapul a sumrek dagiti Levita nga agserbi iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Masapul a dalusam ida. Masapul nga itag-aymo ida kaniak a kas daton.
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.
Aramidem daytoy, gapu ta kukuak laeng ida manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel. Isuda ti mangsukat iti tunggal anak a lalaki a manglukat ti aanakan, dagiti inauna dagiti amin a kaputotan ti Israel. Innalak dagiti Levita para kaniak.
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.
Kukuak amin nga inauna manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel, dagiti tattao ken dagiti ay-ayup. Iti aldaw nga innalak dagiti bibiag dagiti inauna nga annak idiay daga ti Egipto, inlasinko ida para kaniak.
18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Innalak dagiti Levita kadagiti tattao ti Israel imbes a dagiti amin nga inauna nga annak.
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, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
Intedko dagiti Levita a kas sagut kenni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki. Innalak ida kadagiti tattao iti Israel a mangaramid ti trabaho dagiti tattao ti Israel iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Intedko ida a mangsubbot kadagiti basbasol dagiti tattao ti Israel tapno awan ti dididgra a mangdangran kadagiti tattao no umasidegda iti nasantoan a disso.”
20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Inaramid daytoy da Moises, Aaron ken ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao iti Israel kadagiti Levita. Inaramidda amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipapan kadagiti Levita. Inaramid daytoy dagiti tattao iti Israel kadakuada.
21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Dinalusan dagiti Levita dagiti bagbagida manipud iti basol babaen iti pananglabada kadagiti pagan-anayda. Indatag ida ni Aaron a kas daton kenni Yahweh ken inaramidna ti pannakaabbong a maipaay kadakuada, tapno madalusanna ida.
22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Kalpasan dayta, simrek dagiti Levita tapno agtrabahoda iti uneg ti tabernakulo iti imatang da Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Sigun daytoy iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipanggep kadagiti Levita. Trinatoda amin dagiti Levita iti kastoy a wagas.
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
24 “This is what is assigned 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;
“Amin dagitoy ket para kadagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo ket lima nga agpangato. Masapul a makitiponda kadagiti dadduma a kakaduada nga agserbi iti uneg iti tabernakulo.
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
Masapul a sumardengdan nga agserserbi iti kastoy a wagas iti tawen a lima pulo. Iti dayta a tawen, saandan a masapul nga agserbi pay.
26 but shall assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall perform no service. This is how you shall have the Levites do their duties.”
Mabalinda a tulongan dagiti kakabsatda nga agtultuloy nga agtrabaho iti uneg iti tabernakulo, ngem saandan a rumbeng nga agserbi pay. Masapul nga idalanmo dagiti Levita kadagitoy amin a banbanag.”
