Numbers 8
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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.'
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 Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded 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 [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.
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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
6 'Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.
Tangohia nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, ka pure i a ratou.
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,
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 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,
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 thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons 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 thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands 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 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.
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 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 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 thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;
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 thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
Na me momotu e koe nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, a maku nga Riwaiti.
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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel:
Na ka tangohia nei e ahau nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
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.'
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
I korero ana a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
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,
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 years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,
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 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.'
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.
