Nomery 8
1 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And Yahweh spake unto 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 unto Aaron, and thou shalt say unto him, —When thou lightest up the lamps, over against the front of the lampstand, shall the seven lamps give light.
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, over against the front of the lampstand, lighted he up the lamps thereof, —As Yahweh commanded 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.
Now, this, was the work of the lampstand—beaten work of gold both in the shaft thereof and in the flowers thereof, was it beaten work, according to the appearance which Yahweh caused to appear unto Moses, so, made he the lampstand.
5 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
6 Aviho amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio vaho efero.
Take the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —and thou shalt 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, shalt thou do unto them, to purify them, sprinkle upon them sin-cleansing water, —then shall they, cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and shall wash their clothes and so make themselves pure.
8 Le ampangalao iareo ty bania rekets’ i enga-mahakama’ey, i mona linaro menakey, vaho ampangalao bania raike ho engan-kakeo.
Then shall they take a choice young bullock, with the meal-offering thereof even fine meal overflowed with oil, —and a second choice young bullock, shalt thou take. as a sin-bearer.
9 Le aseseo mb’ añatrefa’ i kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo o nte-Levio vaho atontono ty valobohò’ Israele;
Then shalt thou bring the Levites near, before the tent of meeting, —and shalt call together all the assembly 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 shalt bring the Levites near before Yahweh, —and the sons of Israel shall lean 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 offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel, —so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh.
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 lean their hands upon the head of the bullocks; then make thou of the one a sin-bearer and of the other an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over the Levites.
13 Aa le ajohaño añatrefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo o nte-Levio vaho engao am’ Iehovà ho engan-kelahela.
Thus shalt thou cause the Levites to stand before Aaron and before his sons, —thus shalt thou offer them as a wave-offering unto Yahweh;
14 Izay ty hañambaha’o amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio le ho ahiko o nte-Levio.
thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —thus shall the Levites become mine.
15 Henane zay, himoake hitoroñe amy kibohom-pamantañañey o nte-Levio, ie fa neferañe naho nengaeñe ho engan-kelahela.
And after that, shall the Levites enter to do the labour of the tent of meeting, —so shalt thou purify them, and offer them as a wave-offering,
16 Songa natolotse ahiko boak’ amo ana’ Israeleo; fa rinambeko ho amako ho solo’ ze hene manoka-koviñe; ze fonga tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israele.
For, given, given, they are unto me, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth from among the sons of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
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 mine, is every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —on the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, did I hallow them unto me.
18 Le rinambeko ho soloe’ o nte-Levio o tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israeleo;
Therefore have I taken the Levites, —instead of every firstborn among the sons 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.
therefore have I given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel, —so shall there be among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.
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 assembly of the sons of Israel did thus unto the Levites, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses as touching the Levites, so, did the sons of Israel unto 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.
And the Levites accepted the cleansing from sin and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Yahweh, —and Aaron put a propitiatory-covering over them to make them pure.
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 after that, went the Levites in to do their laborious work in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons, —as Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so, did they unto them.
23 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying;
24 Inao ty amo nte-Levio: ie roapolo-taoñe lim’ amby mañambone ro hizilike hitoloñe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao;
This is what concerneth the Levites, —from twenty-five years old and upwards, shall they enter to take rank in the host, for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting;
25 ie limampolo taoñe ro hitroatse amo fitoroña’eo, le tsy hitoloñe ao ka.
but from the age of fifty years, shall they retire from taking rank in the labour, and shall do laborious work no more;
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.
yet shall they wait upon their brethren in the tent of meeting, by keeping charge, but laborious work, shall they not perform, —thus, shalt thou do unto the Levites, as touching their charges.
