Ƙidaya 8
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
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 thou shalt say to him, Whenever thou shalt set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
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: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed 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.
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 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, ka tsarkake su.
Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them.
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.
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 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.
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 Ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Tentin Sujada, ka kuma kira taron Isra’ilawa duka.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
10 Za ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji, Isra’ilawa kuma za su ɗibiya musu hannuwansu.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
11 Haruna zai miƙa Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji a matsayin hadaya ta kaɗawa daga Isra’ilawa, saboda a shirya su domin aikin Ubangiji.
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 “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 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 Ka kuma sa Lawiyawa su tsaya a gaban Haruna da’ya’yansa, sai ka miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa ga Ubangiji.
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 Da haka za ka keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, Lawiyawa za su zama nawa.
And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
15 “Bayan ka tsarkake Lawiyawa, ka kuma miƙa su kamar hadaya ta kaɗawa, sai su zo su yi aikinsu a Tentin Sujada.
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 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 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 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 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 Na kuma ɗauki Lawiyawa a maimakon dukan’ya’yan fari maza a Isra’ila.
And I took the Levites in the place of every first-born among the children 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 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 Musa, Haruna da kuma dukan taron Isra’ilawa, suka yi da Lawiyawa yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
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 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 amma in suka kai shekaru hamsin da haihuwa, dole su huta daga wannan aiki na yau da kullum, su kuma daina aiki.
And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
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.”
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.
