Numbers 8

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk,

2 'Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'

“Fahk nu sel Aaron lah pacl se el filiya lam itkosr fin nien lam uh, elan oakiya tuh in tolak acn meet.”

3 And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

Aaron el oru oana, ac oakiya lam uh tuh kalem kac in tolak mutun nien lam uh.

4 And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.

Orekla nien lam uh ke gold tuktuki, lucngi na nwe ten, fal nu ke lumah se su LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.

5 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

6 'Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.

“Srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel ngia, ac aknasnasyalosla

7 'And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,

in ouiya se inge: sroksrokunulosyak ke kof in aknasnas, ac sap elos in resaela manolos nufon, ac ohlla nuknuk lalos uh. Na elos ac fah nasnasla.

8 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, — and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering,

Na elos fah eis soko cow mukul fusr, ac lupan flao karyak ke oil in olive ma eneneyuk nu ke mwe kisa wheat; ac kom fah eis soko pac cow mukul nu ke mwe kisa ke ma koluk.

9 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel,

Toko kom orani mwet Israel nukewa ac sap mwet Levi in tuyak ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, su pa acn nga muta we.

10 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,

Na mwet Israel elos fah filiya paolos fin sifen mwet Levi uh,

11 and Aaron hath waved the Levites — a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been — for doing the service of Jehovah.

ac Aaron el fah kisakunma mwet Levi uh nu sik oana sie mwe sang sriyukla sin mwet Israel uh, tuh elos in oru orekma luk.

12 'And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites,

Na mwet Levi fah filiya paolos fin sifen cow mukul lukwa; soko ac fah mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac ma soko ngia nu ke mwe kisa firir. Ouiya se inge in orek ke alu in aknasnas lun mwet Levi.

13 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;

“Kisakunma mwet Levi uh oana sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sik, ac sang tuh Aaron ac wen natul in liyalosyang.

14 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;

In lumah se inge kom fah srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel saya, na elos fah ma nutik.

15 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them — a wave-offering.

Tukun kom aknasnasyela ac kisakunla mwet Levi uh, elos ac fah fal in orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.

16 'For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb — the first-born of all — from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;

Nga eisalos in aolla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel, ac elos ma na nutik.

17 for Mine [is] every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;

Ke nga tuh onela wounse nukewa nutin mwet Egypt uh, nga tuh akmutalye wen se ma matu oemeet in kais sie sou in Israel, ac wounsien kosro nukewa, tuh in ma nutik sifacna.

18 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel:

Inge nga eis mwet Levi in aolla wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel,

19 'And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.'

ac nga sang kunal Aaron ac wen natul elos in liyaung mwet Levi oana sie mwe kite sin mwet Israel, tuh elos fah orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal nu sin mwet Israel, ac in loango mwet Israel liki ongoiya ma ac ku in sonolos elos fin tuku apkuranla nu ke Acn Mutal.”

20 And Moses doth — Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel — to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them.

Ouinge Moses, Aaron ac mwet Israel nukewa kisakunla mwet Levi, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.

21 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them,

Mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna ac ohlla nuknuk lalos, ac Aaron el kisakunulos oana sie mwe kite sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD. El oayapa oru alu in aknasnas nu selos.

22 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.

Mwet Israel akfalye ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan oru ke mwet Levi. Ouinge mwet Levi elos fal in oru orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye koko lal Aaron ac wen natul.

23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

24 'This [is] that which [is] the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting,

“Kais sie mwet Levi su yac longoul limekosryak matwa, ac fah oru orekma kunal in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik,

25 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,

na el ac mongla liki orekma kunal ke el sun yac lumngaul matwa.

26 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'

Tukun pacl sacn, el ku in kasru mwet Levi wial in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu el tia ku in sifacna orekma. Pa inge ma kom ac oakiya nu ke kulansap lun mwet Levi.”
