Nomery 8
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 Mitenena amin’ i Arona hoe: Raha mampirehitra ny jiro fito ianao, dia ataovy mahazava ny eo anoloan’ ny fanaovan-jiro izy.
'Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'
3 Dia nataon’ i Arona izany, fa nampirehetiny ny jiro mba hahazava ny eo anoloan’ ny fanaovan-jiro, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
4 Ary izao no toetry ny fanaovan-jiro; volamena novoasana izy; hatramin’ ny faladiany sy ny voniny aza dia samy novoasana avokoa; araka ny endrika izay nasehon’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nanaovany ny fanaovan-jiro.
And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.
5 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
6 Alao ny Levita avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka diovy izy.
'Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.
7 Ary izao no hataonao aminy hanadiovana azy: Fafazo rano fanadiovana izy, ary asaovy haratany avokoa ny tenany rehetra, ary aoka hosasany ny fitafiany, ka dia hadio izy.
'And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
8 Dia asaovy maka vantotr’ ombilahy iray izy mbamin’ ny fanatitra hohanina fombany, dia koba tsara toto voaharo diloilo; ary vantotr’ ombilahy iray koa no halainao ho fanatitra noho ny ota.
and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, — and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering,
9 Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary vorio ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel,
10 Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely hametraka ny tànany aminy;
and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
11 ary Arona dia hanatitra ny Levita eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho fanatitra ahevaheva avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba hanao ny fanompoana an’ i Jehovah izy.
and Aaron hath waved the Levites — a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been — for doing the service of Jehovah.
12 Ary ny Levita hametraka ny tànany amin’ ny lohan’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy roa; dia atero ny anankiray ho fanatitra noho ny ota, ary ny anankiray kosa ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah, hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny Levita.
'And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites,
13 Ary apetraho eo anatrehan’ i Arona sy ny zanany ny Levita, ka atero ho fanatitra ahevaheva ho an’ i Jehovah izy.
and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;
14 Ary ampiavaho amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Levita, dia ho Ahy izy.
and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
15 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hiditra ny Levita hanao fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana. Dia hodiovinao toy izany izy ka haterinao ho fanatitra ahevaheva;
and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them — a wave-offering.
16 fa efa nomena ho Ahy avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mihitsy izy; ho solon’ izay voalohan-teraka rehetra, dia izay lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, no nanalako azy ho Ahy.
'For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb — the first-born of all — from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;
17 Fa Ahy ny voalohan-teraka rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na olona na biby fiompy; tamin’ ilay andro namelezako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta no nanamasinako azy ho Ahy.
for Mine [is] every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
18 Ary efa nalaiko ny Levita ho solon’ ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel:
19 Ary nomeko ho an’ i Arona sy ny zanany mihitsy ny Levita, avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, hanao ny fanompoan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana sy hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba tsy hisy areti-mandringana hanjo azy, raha manakaiky ny fitoerana masìna izy.
'And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.'
20 Dia nataon’ i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, tamin’ ny Levita izany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ny amin’ ny Levita no nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely taminy.
And Moses doth — Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel — to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them.
21 Dia nodiovin’ ny Levita ny tenany ho afaka ota, ary nosasany ny fitafiany; ary Arona nanatitra azy ho fanatitra ahevaheva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah sady nanao fanavotana ho azy hanadiovana azy.
And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them,
22 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niditra ny Levita hanao ny fihaonana teo anatrehan’ i Arona sy ny zanany; araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ny amin’ ny Levita no nataony taminy.
and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
23 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
24 Ny amin’ ny Levita dia izao: Hatramin’ ny dimy amby roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy no hanatona hilatsaka amin’ ny antokony hanao ny fanompoana ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana;
'This [is] that which [is] the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting,
25 fa rehefa dimam-polo taona kosa izy, dia hiala amin’ ny antokon’ ny fanompoana ka tsy hanompo intsony;
and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,
26 kanefa mahazo manampy ny rahalahiny ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ihany izy mba hitandrina izay anjara-raharaha; fa tsy hanao fanompoana hafa izy. Izany no hataonao amin’ ny Levita ny amin’ ny anjara-raharahany.
and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'
