Ndari 8
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Arĩria Harũni, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũrĩbangaga matawa marĩa mũgwanja, mabangage nĩguo ũtheri wamo waragĩre mwena wa na mbere wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa.’”
“Speak to Aaron, and you have said to him: In your causing the lights to go up, the seven lights give light toward the front of the face of the lampstand.”
3 Harũni agĩĩka o ta ũguo; akĩbanga matawa macio amaroretie mwena ũrĩa ũtheri wamo watheragĩra hau mbere ya mũtĩ ũcio maaigagĩrĩrwo, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
And Aaron does so; he has caused its lights to go up toward the front of the face of the lampstand, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
4 Mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa wathondeketwo ũũ: wathondeketwo na thahabu ya gũturwo, kuuma gĩtina-inĩ kĩaguo o nginya kũrĩa mahũa maguo maarĩ. Mũhianĩre wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa wathondeketwo o ta ũrĩa mũhianĩre waguo wonetio Musa nĩ Jehova.
And this [is] the work of the lampstand: beaten work of gold; from its thigh to its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which YHWH showed Moses, so he has made the lampstand.
5 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Oya Alawii ũmeherie kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ a Isiraeli, ũmatherie mathirwo nĩ thaahu.
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you have cleansed them.
7 Ũkĩmatheria ũgeekaga ũũ: Maminjaminjĩrie maaĩ ma kũmatheria thaahu; macooke menje njuĩrĩ cia mĩĩrĩ yao kũndũ guothe na mathambie nguo ciao, nĩguo metherie.
And thus you do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle waters of atonement on them, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
8 Ningĩ ũreke moe gategwa hamwe na iruta rĩako rĩa mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta; nawe ũcooke woe gategwa kangĩ ga keerĩ ga kũrutwo igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, and you take a second bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering;
9 Ũrehe Alawii acio mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ũcooke wĩte kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli hamwe.
and you have brought the Levites near before the Tent of Meeting, and you have assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel,
10 Ũrehe Alawii acio mbere ya Jehova, nao andũ a Isiraeli mamaigĩrĩre moko mĩtwe.
and you have brought the Levites near before YHWH, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
11 Nake Harũni arutĩre Jehova Alawii acio hau mbere yake taarĩ igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio rĩrutĩtwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo maikarage mehaarĩirie kũruta wĩra wa Jehova.
and Aaron has waved the Levites [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, from the sons of Israel, and they have been [consecrated] for doing the service of YHWH.
12 “Thuutha ũcio Alawii maigĩrĩre moko mao mĩtwe ya ndegwa icio, ũcirutĩre Jehova, ĩmwe ĩtuĩke ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia na ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtuĩke iruta rĩa njino, nĩgeetha Alawii mahoroherio.
And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering to YHWH, to atone for the Levites.
13 Reke Alawii marũgame mbere ya Harũni na ariũ ake, na ũcooke ũmarutĩre Jehova taarĩ igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio.
And you have caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering to YHWH;
14 Ũguo nĩguo ũkaamũra Alawii, ũmeherie kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ a Isiraeli, nao Alawii acio matuĩke akwa.
and you have separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
15 “Warĩkia gũtheria Alawii acio na kũmaruta matuĩke ta igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio-rĩ, nĩmarutage wĩra wao Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
and afterward the Levites come in to serve the Tent of Meeting, and you have cleansed them, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering.
16 Acio nĩo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mekũheanwo kũrĩ niĩ biũ. Ndĩmeyoeire marĩ akwa ithenya rĩa marigithathi ma ciana cia tũhĩĩ kuuma kũrĩ mũtumia o wothe Mũisiraeli.
For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who opens any womb—the firstborn of all; I have taken them for Myself from the sons of Israel;
17 Irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa njamba gũkũ Isiraeli, kana nĩ rĩa mũndũ kana nĩ rĩa nyamũ-rĩ, nĩ rĩakwa. Rĩrĩa ndooragire marigithathi mothe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ndaamaamũrire matuĩke akwa mwene.
for every firstborn among the sons of Israel [is] Mine, among man and among beast; in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
18 Na niĩ nĩ njoete Alawii ithenya rĩa marigithathi mothe ma ciana cia tũhĩĩ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
and I take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
19 Thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, nĩheanĩte Alawii matuĩke iheo kũrĩ Harũni na ariũ ake, na marutage wĩra Hema-inĩ-ĩno-ya-Gũtũnganwo handũ ha andũ a Isiraeli, na mamahorohagĩrie nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli matikae kũniinwo na mũthiro hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mangĩkuhĩrĩria handũ-harĩa-haamũre.”
And I give the Levites [as] 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 drawing near to the holy place.”
20 Musa, na Harũni marĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka Alawii o ta ũguo Jehova aathĩte Musa.
And Moses does—Aaron also, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel—to the Levites according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so the sons of Israel have done to them.
21 Alawii acio magĩĩtheria na magĩthambia nguo ciao. Harũni nake agĩcooka akĩmaruta ta igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio mbere ya Jehova, na akĩmahoroheria nĩguo amatherie.
And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waves them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, and Aaron makes atonement for them to cleanse them,
22 Thuutha ũcio, Alawii magĩtoonya Hema-inĩ-ĩyo-ya-Gũtũnganwo marutage wĩra wao marũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ Harũni na ariũ ake. Magĩĩka Alawii acio o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
and afterward the Levites have gone in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
23 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
24 “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũkoniĩ Alawii: Atĩrĩ, arũme othe arĩa mahingĩtie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano na makĩria nĩo marĩũkaga kũruta wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
“This [is] who [is] for the Levites: from a son of twenty-five years and upward he goes in to serve the host in the service of the Tent of Meeting,
25 no mahingia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano-rĩ, no nginya mahurũke kuuma wĩra ũcio wao wa gũtungata, matigacooke kũruta wĩra.
and from a son of fifty years he returns from the host of the service, and does not serve anymore,
26 No rĩrĩ, no mateithagĩrĩrie ariũ a ithe wao rĩrĩa mekũruta wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, no-o ene matikarute wĩra ũcio. Ũguo nĩguo ũrĩgayagĩra Alawii wĩra ũrĩa marĩrutaga.”
and he has ministered with his brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and does not do service; thus you do to the Levites concerning their charge.”
