4 Mose 8
1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Amanage hunka Aronina asmio, 7ni'a tavi'ma retro huteno, ruotgema hunefinkama tavima tagintesigeno'a, masa'amo'a ana tavi azota'mofo avuga remsa hugahie.
“Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him: When you place the seven lamps, let the lampstand be set up on the south side. Therefore, give this instruction: that the lamps should look out from the region opposite the north, toward the table of the bread of the presence; they shall give light opposite that area, toward the area that the lampstand faces.”
3 Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante anteno Aroni'a tavi'ma retro hunte'nea tavira tagintegeno, masa'amo zota'mofo avuga remsa hutre'ne.
And Aaron did so, and he placed the lamps on the lampstand, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
4 Tavi'ma rekruhu azotama tro'ma hu'nazana amana hu'naze, hama eri'za golia amasagiza lamu tavimofo zota'a tro nehu'za, azankuna'a tro nehu'za anina'anema troma hunazana, Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za tro nehu'za, Livae nagara zamazeri otage hu'naze.
Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand: it was of ductile gold, both the main shaft and all that originated from both sides of the branches. According to the example that the Lord revealed to Moses, so did he make the lampstand.
5 Ru'ene Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamavarenka, zamazeri agru huo.
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you shall purify them
7 Hagi zamazeri agruma kagrama hananana anahu hugahane, agru hu'nesia ti erinka ru ani'ani hunezmantesanke'za, maka zamufa zamazokara resanu nehare'za, kukena zamia sese hute'za, zamagra avusese hugahaze.
according to this ritual: Let them be sprinkled with the water of illumination, and let them shave off all the hairs of their body. And when they have washed their garments and have been cleansed,
8 Ana'ma hutenagenka huge'za mago bulimakaone witi ofa zami'ne, kanenea flaua masavempi erihavia hu'nesazane ofa nehu'za, mago bulimakao kumi'ma apasezamante ofa hugahaze.
they shall take an ox from the herd, with its libation of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil; then you shall receive another ox from the herd for sin.
9 Hagi Mosesega kehuge'za mika'a Livae vahera seli mono nonte etru nehanagenka, maka Israeli vea'ene zamazeri atru hugahane.
And you shall bring forward the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the sons of Israel.
10 Livae nagara zamavarenka Ra Anumzamo'na navure vuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za Livae naga'mokizmi zamagofetu zamaza anteho.
And when the Levites are before the Lord, the sons of Israel shall place their hands upon them.
11 Aroni'a Israeli vahepinti Livae nagra Ra Anumzamofo avuga aza ante'sga huno amira amira ofama nehiaza huzmantetena, Ra Anumzamo'na eri'zana erigahaze.
And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a gift in the sight of the Lord, from the sons of Israel, so that they may serve in his ministry.
12 Henka'a Livae naga'mo'za tare bulimakaomofo agenopare zamazana antetesage'za, mago bulimakaona kumi'apase ofa nehu'za, mago bulimakaona kresramna vanage'na Ra Anumzamo'na Livae nagara kumizmifintira mizasezmantegahue.
Likewise, the Levites shall place their hands upon the heads of the oxen; you shall make use of one of these for sin, and the other as a holocaust to the Lord, so that you may intercede for them.
13 Hagi Livae nagara huge'za Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'ane zamuga oti'nesage'za, amira amira ofama nehazaza hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na ofa hu'za namigahaze.
And you shall set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate those being offered to the Lord,
14 E'ina hunka Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamazeri otage hananke'za Nagri vahera manigahaze.
and you shall separate them from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may be for me.
15 Hagi anama huzmantetesunka, Livae naga'mo'za seli mono nompina eri'zana erigahazanki, zamazeri agru nehunka, kazana antesga hunka amira amira ofa huzmantegahane.
And after this, they shall enter the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to serve me. And so shall you purify and consecrate them as an oblation to the Lord. For they were given to me as a gift from the sons of Israel.
16 Israeli vahepinti'ma pusa ne' mofavrema antesazama onamisaza nona hu'na, Livae nagara maka Nagrani'a zamavare'noe.
I have accepted them in place of the firstborn which open every womb in Israel.
17 Hagi Isipi vahe'mokizmi zamagonesa ne'mofavrema nezmahe'na, mika'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamagonesa mofavrene, zagagafa zimimofo ese anentara Nagri suzane hu'na zamavare otage hu'noe.
For all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, as much from men as from beasts, are mine. From the day when I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified them to myself.
18 Hu'neanagi menina Israeli vahe'mokizmi pusa ne'mofavre nona hu'na, Livae nagara Nagra huhampri'na zamavare'noe.
And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
19 Israeli vahepintira, Livae nagara muse'zane hu'na Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'a seli mono nompi Israeli vahe'mokizmi kumi' apaseza miza sezmante'saza eri'za eneri'za, seli mono nomofo tvaonte'ma Israeli vahe'mo'zama ne-esageno krimo zamazeri haviza huzanku kva krigahaze.
And I have delivered them as a gift to Aaron and his sons, from the midst of the people, in order to serve me, for Israel, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and in order to pray for them, lest there be a scourge among the people, if they were to dare to approach to my Sanctuary.”
20 Mosese'ene, Aroni'ene mika Israeli vahe krerfamo'zanena Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese asmi'nea kante ante'za Livae nagara anara huzmantegahaze.
And Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel, accomplished all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.
21 Livae naga'mo'za zamagrazmi zamazeri agru nehu'za, kukena zmia sese hutazageno, Aroni aza ante sga huno Ra Anumzamofonte zamavareno amira amira hu ofa hunezmanteno, kumi apase ofa huzmante'ne.
And they were purified, and they washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and he prayed for them,
22 Ana'ma hutege'za Livae vahe'mo'za seli mono nompina, Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'anena zamaza hu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za eri'zana eri'naze.
so that, having been purified, they might enter to their duties in the tabernacle of the covenant before Aaron and his sons. Just as the Lord had instructed Moses about the Levites, so was it done.
23 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24 Livae naga'mo'za amanahu hugahaze, 25'a kafureti mareri'nesnamo'za, mareri'za seli mono nompina eri'zana erigahaze.
“This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years and above, they shall enter to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
25 Hianagi 50'a kafuma nehanu'za eri'zampintira vagare'za mago'ene eri'zana e'origahaze.
And when they will have completed the fiftieth year of age, they shall cease to serve.
26 Hu'neanagi eri'zazamifinti vagaresu'za nezmafuna amne zamaza hu'za seli mono nompi eri'zana kankamu zamire erigahaze. Hagi mago eri'zana zamagra zamavesitera e'origahaze. Hagi Livae vahe'mo'za amage ante'za eri'za kankamu zamire erigahaze.
And they shall be the ministers of their brothers in the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to care for the things that have been commended to them, but not to perform the works themselves. So shall you assign the Levites in their duties.”
