Nomery 8
1 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Saontsio amy Aharone vaho ano ty hoe: Ie hañajary o jiroo, le ampañazavao mb’aolo mb’eo i fitàn-jiroy i jiro fito rey.
Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him, Whenever you shall set the lamps in order, the seven lamps shall give light opposite the candlestick.
3 Le nanoe’ i Aharone izay; nalaha’e i jiro rey hañazava’e mañaolo i fitàn-jiroy amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
And Aaron did so: on one side opposite the candlestick he lighted its lamps, as the Lord appointed Moses.
4 Inao ty nanoeñe i fitàn-jiroy: volamena pinepeke i taho’ey pak’ amboñe’e eo; toe satam-pipepehañe, amy sare natoro’ Iehovà amy Mosèy, izay ty nanoe’e i fitàn-jiroy.
And this [is] the construction of the candlestick: [it is] solid, golden—its stem, and its lilies—all solid: according to the pattern which the Lord showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Aviho amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio vaho efero.
Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and you shall purify them.
7 Zao ty hañefera’o iareo: amitsezo am’ iereo ty ranon’ enga-kakeo, le ampiozàñem-piharatse ty fañòva’ iareo iaby, naho ampanasao sikiñe vaho ampiliovo.
And thus shall you perform their purification: you shall sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean.
8 Le ampangalao iareo ty bania rekets’ i enga-mahakama’ey, i mona linaro menakey, vaho ampangalao bania raike ho engan-kakeo.
And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and you shall take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering.
9 Le aseseo mb’ añatrefa’ i kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo o nte-Levio vaho atontono ty valobohò’ Israele;
And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and you shall assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
10 Aa naho fa navori’o añatrefa’ Iehovà o nte-Levio le hanampe fitàñe amo nte-Levio o ana’ Israeleo;
And you shall bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
11 le hengae’ i Aharone ho engan-kelahela am’ Iehovà o nte-Levy boak’ amo ana’ Israeleoo hitoroñe Iehovà.
And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord.
12 Le hanampeza’ o nte-Levio fitàñe i bania rey, naho hengae’o ho engan-kakeo ty raike vaho ho soroñañe am’ Iehovà ty raike, hijebaña’o o nte-Levio.
And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and you shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.
13 Aa le ajohaño añatrefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo o nte-Levio vaho engao am’ Iehovà ho engan-kelahela.
And you shall set the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron, and before his sons; and you shall give them as a gift before the Lord.
14 Izay ty hañambaha’o amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio le ho ahiko o nte-Levio.
And you shall separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
15 Henane zay, himoake hitoroñe amy kibohom-pamantañañey o nte-Levio, ie fa neferañe naho nengaeñe ho engan-kelahela.
And afterwards the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and you shall purify them, and present them before the Lord.
16 Songa natolotse ahiko boak’ amo ana’ Israeleo; fa rinambeko ho amako ho solo’ ze hene manoka-koviñe; ze fonga tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israele.
For these are given to me for a present out of the midst of the children of Israel: I have taken them to myself instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel that open every womb.
17 Toe anjarako ze hene valohan’ ana’ o ana’ Israeleo, ondaty naho hare; tamy andro nipaohako ze fonga valohan’ ana’ i Mitsraimey ty nañambahako iareo ho ahy.
For every firstborn among the children of Israel [is] mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
18 Le rinambeko ho soloe’ o nte-Levio o tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israeleo;
And I took the Levites in the place of every firstborn among the children of Israel.
19 vaho natoloko amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo aivo o ana’ Israeleo ho ravoravo o nte-Levio, hitoloñe ami’ty fitoloña’ o ana’ Israeleo amy kibohom-pamantañañey, naho hanao fijebañañe ho amo ana’ Israeleo tsy mone hiboak’ amo ana’ Israeleo ty angorosy naho harinea’ o ana’ Israeleo i efe-miavakey.
And I gave the Levites presented as a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of witness, and to make atonement for the children of Israel: thus there shall be none among the sons of Israel to draw near to the holy things.
20 Izay ty nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho ty valobohò’ Israele amo nte-Levio; ze hene nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè ty amo nte-Levio ty nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo.
And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the sons of Israel did to them.
21 Le nañalio vatañe o nte-Levio naho nanasa’ o siki’eo iareo, naho nengae’ i Aharone am’ Iehovà ho ravoravo miavake, vaho nanao fijebañañe hañaliova’e iareo.
So the Levites purified themselves and washed their garments; and Aaron presented them as a gift before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to purify them.
22 Ie henane zay nimoak’ an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao o nte-Levio hitoloñe añatrefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo; i nandilia’ Iehovà amy Mosè ty amo nte-Levio ty nanoañe am’iareo.
And afterwards the Levites went in to minister in their service in the tabernacle of witness before Aaron, and before his sons; as the Lord appointed Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Inao ty amo nte-Levio: ie roapolo-taoñe lim’ amby mañambone ro hizilike hitoloñe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao;
This is the [ordinance] for the Levites; From five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of witness.
25 ie limampolo taoñe ro hitroatse amo fitoroña’eo, le tsy hitoloñe ao ka.
And from fifty years old [the Levites] shall cease from the ministry, and shall not work any longer.
26 F’ie mete hañimba o rahalahi’eo an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao, hisary o tolon-draha’eo fe tsy hitromake. Izay ty hanoe’o amo nte-Levio amo fitoloña’eo.
And his brother shall serve in the tabernacle of witness to keep charges, but he shall not do works: so shall you do to the Levites in their charges.
