Resansman 8
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk Aaron e di li: ‘Lè ou monte lanp yo, sèt lanp sa yo va bay limyè pa devan chandelye a.’”
Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
3 Konsa, Aaron te fè sa. Li te monte lanp pa li a pa devan chandelye a, jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
4 Men kòman mendèv chandelye a te ye; fèt avèk lò ki bat, soti nan baz li jis rive nan flè yo, li te yon travay ki bat. Selon modèl ke SENYÈ a te montre a Moïse la, konsa li te fè chandelye a.
And this [is] the construction of the candlestick: [it is] solid, golden—its stem, and its lilies—all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Pran Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo e fè yo vin pwòp.
Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them.
7 Se konsa ou va fè pou fè yo vin pwòp: flite dlo ki pirifye sou yo. Kite yo pase razwa sou tout kò yo e lave rad yo; epi yo va vin pwòp.
And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean.
8 Konsa, kite yo pran yon towo avèk ofrann sereyal li a, farin fen mele avèk lwil; epi yon dezyèm towo, ou va pran kòm yon ofrann peche.
And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
9 Alò, ou va prezante Levit yo devan Tant Asanble a. Ou va osi rasanble tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
10 Ou va prezante Levit yo devan SENYÈ a. Fis Israël yo va poze men yo sou Levit yo,
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
11 epi Aaron va prezante Levit yo devan SENYÈ a kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la, soti nan fis Israël yo, pou yo kapab kalifye pou fè sèvis SENYÈ a.
And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord.
12 “Alò, Levit yo va poze men yo sou tèt a towo yo, epi ou va ofri youn kòm yon ofrann peche, e lòt la kòm yon ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a pou fè ekspiyasyon pou Levit yo.
And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.
13 Ou va fè Levit yo kanpe devan Aaron ak devan fis li yo pou prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la bay SENYÈ a.
And thou shalt set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and thou shalt give them as a gift before the Lord.
14 Konsa, ou va separe Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo, e Levit yo va vin pou Mwen.
And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
15 “Epi apre sa, Levit yo kapab antre pou fè sèvis nan Tant Asanble a. Konsa, ou va netwaye yo e prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la;
And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify them, and present them before the Lord.
16 paske yo te vin pou Mwen nèt soti nan fis Israël yo. Mwen te pran yo pou Mwen menm nan plas a tout sila ki sòti nan vant yo, premye ne nan tout fis Israël yo.
For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel that open every womb.
17 Paske tout gason premye ne pami fis Israël yo se pou Mwen, pami moun yo, ak pami bèt yo. Nan jou ke M te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, Mwen te sanktifye yo pou Mwen menm.
For every first-born among the children of Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
18 Men Mwen te pran Levit yo nan plas a chak premye ne pami fis Israël yo.
And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children of Israel.
19 Mwen te bay Levit yo kòm yon kado bay Aaron ak fis li yo soti pami fis Israël yo, pou ranpli sèvis a fis Israël yo nan Tant Asanble a, e pou fè ekspiyasyon pou fis Israël yo, jis pou pa vin gen gwo epidemi pami fis Israël yo akoz ke yo vin pwoche toupre sanktyè a.”
And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw nigh to the holy things.
20 Konsa Moïse avèk Aaron, ak tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo te fè pou Levit yo. Selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse konsènan Levit yo, konsa fis Israël yo te fè yo.
And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
21 Levit yo tou, te pirifye yo menm de peche e te lave rad yo. Aaron te prezante yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la devan SENYÈ a. Aaron, osi, te fè ekspiyasyon pou yo, pou fè yo vin pwòp.
So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
22 Epi apre Levit yo te antre pou fè sèvis pa yo nan Tant Asanble a, devan Aaron ak devan fis li yo: jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse konsènan Levit yo, se konsa yo te fè pou yo.
And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Sa se lòd ki aplike pou Levit yo: soti nan laj venn-senkan e plis, yo va antre pou fè sèvis nan travay a Tant Asanble a.
This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness.
25 Men nan laj a senkantan, yo va pran retrèt nan sèvis travay la. Yo p ap travay ankò.
And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
26 Sepandan, yo va asiste frè yo nan Tant Asanble a, pou kenbe devwa yo, men yo pa pou travay yo menm. Konsa ou va aji avèk Levit yo konsènan devwa yo.”
And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shalt thou do to the Levites in their charges.
