Resansman 8
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And YHWH speaks 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Pran Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo e fè yo vin pwòp.
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you have cleansed 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 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 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 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 Alò, ou va prezante Levit yo devan Tant Asanble a. Ou va osi rasanble tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo.
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 Ou va prezante Levit yo devan SENYÈ a. Fis Israël yo va poze men yo sou Levit yo,
and you have brought the Levites near before YHWH, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on 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 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 “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 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 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 you have caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering to YHWH;
14 Konsa, ou va separe Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo, e Levit yo va vin pou Mwen.
and you have separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become 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 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 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 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 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 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 Men Mwen te pran Levit yo nan plas a chak premye ne pami fis Israël yo.
and I take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And YHWH speaks 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] 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 Men nan laj a senkantan, yo va pran retrèt nan sèvis travay la. Yo p ap travay ankò.
and from a son of fifty years he returns from the host of the service, and does not serve anymore,
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 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.”
