Resansman 8
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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.'
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 doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath 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 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.
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 thou hast 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 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,
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 a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take 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 hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company 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 hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, 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 hath waved the Levites — a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been — for doing the service of Jehovah.
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 thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, 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 thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;
14 Konsa, ou va separe Levit yo soti nan fis Israël yo, e Levit yo va vin pou Mwen.
and thou hast 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 afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them — 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 openeth any womb — the first-born of all — from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;
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 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;
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 first-born 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 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.'
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 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.
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 waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh 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 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.
23 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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] 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,
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 doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,
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 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.'
