Tauanga 8
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Korero ki a Arona, mea atu ki a ia, Ka tahuna e koe nga rama, kia marama i nga rama e whitu te wahi i mua o taua turanga rama.
"Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
3 I pera ano a Arona; i meinga e ia kia ka nga rama ki te wahi i mua o te turanga rama; i pera ia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4 A ko te mahinga tenei o te turanga rama, he mea patu te koura; ko tona take, ko ona puawai, he mea patu; ko tana hanga i te turanga rama rite tonu ki te tauira i whakakitea e Ihowa ki a Mohi.
This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Tangohia nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, ka pure i a ratou.
"Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki a ratou, hei pure i a ratou: tauhiuhia ki a ratou he wai hei pure, kia heua o ratou tinana katoa, a me horoi e ratou o ratou kakahu, kia ma ai.
You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8 Katahi ratou ka mau ki tetahi puru kuao, me tona whakahere totokore, ara te paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu; me tango ano e koe tetahi atu puru kuao hei whakahere hara.
Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tawhiu mai ai i te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira:
You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka popoki nga ringa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti:
You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
11 A me whakahere e Arona nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakahere poipoi ma nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho ratou hei mahi i te mahi a Ihowa.
and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
12 Na ka popoki nga ringa o nga Riwaiti ki runga ki nga matenga o nga puru: a me tuku tetahi e koe hei whakahere hara, tetahi hoki hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo nga Riwaiti.
The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Na ka whakatu koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Arona, ki te aroaro ano o ana tama, ka whakahere ai hei whakahere poipoi ki a Ihowa.
You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
14 Na me momotu e koe nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, a maku nga Riwaiti.
Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
15 A, muri iho, ka haere nga Riwaiti ki roto, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a me pure ratou e koe, me whakahere hoki hei whakahere poipoi.
"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
16 Ka tukua rawatia mai hoki ratou ki ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: hei utu mo nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, ara mo nga matamua o nga tama katoa a Iharaira i tangohia ai ratou e ahau maku.
For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
17 Naku hoki nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga tangata me nga kararehe: no te ra i patua ai e ahau nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i a ratou maku.
For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 Na ka tangohia nei e ahau nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
19 He mea hoatu naku nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, hei mahi i nga mahi a nga tama a Iharaira, i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamarie mo nga tama a Iharaira: kei pa te whiu ki nga tama a Iharaira, ina whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki te wahi tapu.
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 Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
20 Na, ko ta Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, pera tonu me nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti; i pera tonu nga tama a Iharaira ki a ratou.
Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
21 Na ka horohoroa nga Riwaiti, a ka horoia o ratou kakahu; a whakaherea ana ratou e Arona hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka whakamarie a Arona mo ratou hei pure mo ratou.
The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 A ka mutu tera, ka tomo nga Riwaiti ki te mahi i a ratou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aroaro o Arona, i te aroaro ano hoki o ana tama: pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti ra ratou i mea ai ki a ratou.
After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 I korero ana a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Ko te mea tenei ma nga Riwaiti; ka rua tekau ma rima o ratou tau, ka maha ake ranei, me tomo ratou ki te mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
"This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
25 Ka maha ake o ratou tau i te rima tekau, me whakamutu ta ratou mahi i nga mahi o reira, kaua ano hoki he mahi ma ratou i muri iho:
and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
26 Engari me minita tahi me o ratou tuakana i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tiaki i nga mea e tiakina ana, kaua hoki e mahi i tetahi mahi. Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, ina tiaki ratou.
but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."
