Ƙidaya 8
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
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 tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
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.
Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as the LORD 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 was the workmanship of the lamp stand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work. He made the lamp stand according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses.
5 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, ka tsarkake su.
“Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse 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.
You shall do this to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse 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 let them take a young bull and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 Ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Tentin Sujada, ka kuma kira taron Isra’ilawa duka.
You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Za ka kawo Lawiyawa a gaban Ubangiji, Isra’ilawa kuma za su ɗibiya musu hannuwansu.
You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on 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 offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do 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.
“The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, 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 shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
14 Da haka za ka keɓe Lawiyawa daga sauran Isra’ilawa, Lawiyawa za su zama nawa.
Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites 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.
“After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
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 they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
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 all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 Na kuma ɗauki Lawiyawa a maimakon dukan’ya’yan fari maza a Isra’ila.
I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn 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.”
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
20 Musa, Haruna da kuma dukan taron Isra’ilawa, suka yi da Lawiyawa yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children 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.
The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD and Aaron 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 went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
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 what is assigned to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of 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.
and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
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.”
but shall assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall perform no service. This is how you shall have the Levites do their duties.”
