Oekyuk 8

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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 say to him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

3 Aaron el oru oana, ac oakiya lam uh tuh kalem kac in tolak mutun nien lam uh.

And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it over against the candlestick, as the LORD 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.

And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold, to its shaft, to the flowers of it, [was] beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

5 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

6 “Srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel ngia, ac aknasnasyalosla

Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

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.

And thus shalt thou do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.

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 let them take a young bullock with his meat-offering, [even] fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take 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.

And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt convene the whole assembly of the children of Israel:

10 Na mwet Israel elos fah filiya paolos fin sifen mwet Levi uh,

And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

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.

And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute 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 shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin-offering, and the other [for] a burnt-offering, to the LORD, to make an 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.

And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering to the LORD.

14 In lumah se inge kom fah srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel saya, na elos fah ma nutik.

Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

15 Tukun kom aknasnasyela ac kisakunla mwet Levi uh, elos ac fah fal in orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.

And after that shall the Levites go in to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.

16 Nga eisalos in aolla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel, ac elos ma na nutik.

For they [are] wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.

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 all the first born of the children of Israel [are] mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

18 Inge nga eis mwet Levi in aolla wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel,

And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children 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 to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there may be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh to the sanctuary.

20 Ouinge Moses, Aaron ac mwet Israel nukewa kisakunla mwet Levi, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.

And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.

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.

And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an 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.

And after that went the Levites in to perform their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.

23 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “Kais sie mwet Levi su yac longoul limekosryak matwa, ac fah oru orekma kunal in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik,

This [is it] that [belongeth] to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

25 na el ac mongla liki orekma kunal ke el sun yac lumngaul matwa.

And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:

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.”

But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do to the Levites concerning their charge.
