Ƙidaya 8
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Yi magana da Haruna, ka ce masa, ‘Sa’ad da za ka shisshirya fitilun nan bakwai, ka shirya su yadda za su fuskanci gaba domin haskensu yă haskaka ta gaba.’”
“Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’”
3 Haka kuwa Haruna ya yi; ya shisshirya fitilun yadda za su fuskanci gaba a kan wurin ajiye fitilan, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
4 Ga yadda aka yi wurin ajiye fitilan. An ƙera shi da zinariya daga gindinsa har zuwa sama inda ya buɗu. Aka ƙera wurin ajiye fitilan yadda Ubangiji ya nuna wa Musa.
This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.
5 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, ka tsarkake su.
“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
7 Ga yadda za ka tsarkake su, ka yayyafa musu ruwan tsarkakewa; ka sa su aske jikunansu duka su kuma wanke tufafinsu, ta haka za su tsarkake kansu.
This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
8 Ka sa su ɗauki ɗan bijimi tare da lallausan garin hadaya, kwaɓaɓɓe da mai; sa’an nan, kai kuma ka ɗauki ɗan bijimi na biyu na hadaya don zunubi.
Then have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.
9 Ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Tentin Sujada, ka kuma kira taron Isra’ilawa duka.
Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel.
10 Za ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji, Isra’ilawa kuma za su ɗibiya musu hannuwansu.
You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.
11 Haruna zai miƙa Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji a matsayin hadaya ta kaɗawa daga Isra’ilawa, saboda a shirya su domin aikin Ubangiji.
Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD.
12 “Bayan Lawiyawa sun ɗibiya hannuwansu a kan bijiman, sai ka yi amfani da ɗaya a matsayin hadaya don zunubi ga Ubangiji, ɗayan kuma domin hadaya ta ƙonawa, don yin kafara saboda Lawiyawa.
And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Ka kuma sa Lawiyawa su tsaya a gaban Haruna da’ya’yansa, sai ka miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa ga Ubangiji.
You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.
14 Da haka za ka keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, Lawiyawa za su zama nawa.
In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.
15 “Bayan ka tsarkake Lawiyawa, ka kuma miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa, sai su zo su yi aikinsu a Tentin Sujada.
After you have cleansed them and presented them as a wave offering, they may come to serve at the Tent of Meeting.
16 Gama dukansu an ba ni su daga cikin Isra’ilawa a maimakon dukan waɗanda suka fara buɗe mahaifa, wato, dukan’ya’yan farin Isra’ilawa. Na karɓi Lawiyawa su zama nawa.
For the Levites have been wholly given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself in place of all who come first from the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.
17 Kowane ɗan farin haihuwa, ko mutum, ko dabba a Isra’ila, nawa ne. Sa’ad da na kashe’ya’yan fari a Masar, na keɓe’ya’yan fari na Isra’ilawa wa kaina.
For every firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set them apart for Myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.
18 Na kuma ɗauki Lawiyawa a maimakon dukan’ya’yan fari maza a Isra’ila.
But I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
19 Cikin dukan Isra’ilawa, na ba da Lawiyawa kyauta ga Haruna da’ya’yansa, su yi hidima a Tentin Sujada a madadin Isra’ilawa, su kuma yi kafara dominsu saboda kada annoba ta bugi Isra’ilawa sa’ad da suka je kusa da wuri mai tsarki.”
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites, to perform the service for the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting and to make atonement on their behalf, so that no plague will come against the Israelites when they approach the sanctuary.”
20 Musa, Haruna da kuma dukan taron Isra’ilawa, suka yi da Lawiyawa yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.
21 Lawiyawa suka tsarkake kansu, suka kuma wanke tufafinsu. Sai Haruna ya miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa a gaban Ubangiji, ya kuma yi kafara saboda su don yă tsarkake su.
The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Bayan haka, sai Lawiyawa suka zo don su yi aikinsu a Tentin Sujada, a ƙarƙashin Haruna da’ya’yansa. Suka yi da Lawiyawa kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
23 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And the LORD said to Moses,
24 “Wannan ya shafi Lawiyawa ne, wato, mazan da suka kai shekara ashirin da biyar, ko fiye, za su zo su yi aiki a Tentin Sujada,
“This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years of age or older shall enter to perform the service in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
25 amma in suka kai shekaru hamsin da haihuwa, dole su huta daga wannan aiki na yau da kullum, su kuma daina aiki.
But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.
26 Za su iya taimakon’yan’uwansu cikin tafiyar da ayyuka a Tentin Sujada, amma su kansu ba za su yi aikin ba. Haka fa za ka ba wa Lawiyawa aikinsu.”
After that, they may assist their brothers in fulfilling their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves are not to do the work. This is how you are to assign responsibilities to the Levites.”
