Oekyuk 8
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Fahk nu sel Aaron lah pacl se el filiya lam itkosr fin nien lam uh, elan oakiya tuh in tolak acn meet.”
“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 Aaron el oru oana, ac oakiya lam uh tuh kalem kac in tolak mutun nien lam uh.
And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
4 Orekla nien lam uh ke gold tuktuki, lucngi na nwe ten, fal nu ke lumah se su LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel ngia, ac aknasnasyalosla
“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
7 in ouiya se inge: sroksrokunulosyak ke kof in aknasnas, ac sap elos in resaela manolos nufon, ac ohlla nuknuk lalos uh. Na elos ac fah nasnasla.
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 Na elos fah eis soko cow mukul fusr, ac lupan flao karyak ke oil in olive ma eneneyuk nu ke mwe kisa wheat; ac kom fah eis soko pac cow mukul nu ke mwe kisa ke ma koluk.
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 Toko kom orani mwet Israel nukewa ac sap mwet Levi in tuyak ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, su pa acn nga muta we.
Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel.
10 Na mwet Israel elos fah filiya paolos fin sifen mwet Levi uh,
You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.
11 ac Aaron el fah kisakunma mwet Levi uh nu sik oana sie mwe sang sriyukla sin mwet Israel uh, tuh elos in oru orekma luk.
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 Na mwet Levi fah filiya paolos fin sifen cow mukul lukwa; soko ac fah mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac ma soko ngia nu ke mwe kisa firir. Ouiya se inge in orek ke alu in aknasnas lun mwet Levi.
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 “Kisakunma mwet Levi uh oana sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sik, ac sang tuh Aaron ac wen natul in liyalosyang.
You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.
14 In lumah se inge kom fah srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel saya, na elos fah ma nutik.
In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.
15 Tukun kom aknasnasyela ac kisakunla mwet Levi uh, elos ac fah fal in orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
After you have cleansed them and presented them as a wave offering, they may come to serve at the Tent of Meeting.
16 Nga eisalos in aolla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel, ac elos ma na nutik.
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 Ke nga tuh onela wounse nukewa nutin mwet Egypt uh, nga tuh akmutalye wen se ma matu oemeet in kais sie sou in Israel, ac wounsien kosro nukewa, tuh in ma nutik sifacna.
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 Inge nga eis mwet Levi in aolla wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel,
But I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
19 ac nga sang kunal Aaron ac wen natul elos in liyaung mwet Levi oana sie mwe kite sin mwet Israel, tuh elos fah orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal nu sin mwet Israel, ac in loango mwet Israel liki ongoiya ma ac ku in sonolos elos fin tuku apkuranla nu ke Acn Mutal.”
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 Ouinge Moses, Aaron ac mwet Israel nukewa kisakunla mwet Levi, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.
21 Mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna ac ohlla nuknuk lalos, ac Aaron el kisakunulos oana sie mwe kite sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD. El oayapa oru alu in aknasnas nu selos.
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 Mwet Israel akfalye ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan oru ke mwet Levi. Ouinge mwet Levi elos fal in oru orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye koko lal Aaron ac wen natul.
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the LORD said to Moses,
24 “Kais sie mwet Levi su yac longoul limekosryak matwa, ac fah oru orekma kunal in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik,
“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 na el ac mongla liki orekma kunal ke el sun yac lumngaul matwa.
But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.
26 Tukun pacl sacn, el ku in kasru mwet Levi wial in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu el tia ku in sifacna orekma. Pa inge ma kom ac oakiya nu ke kulansap lun mwet Levi.”
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.”
