Lakkoobsa 8
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Aroonitti akkana jedhii dubbadhu; ‘Yeroo ati ibsaawwan torban qabsiiftutti isaan iddoo baattuu ibsaa fuula dura jiru haa ibsan.’”
“Speak to Aaron, and you have said to him: In your causing the lights to go up, the seven lights give light toward the front of the face of the lampstand.”
3 Aroonis akkasuma godhe; innis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti akka isaan fuula baattuu ibsaa duraan ifa kennaniif ibsaawwan sana qabsiise.
And Aaron does so; he has caused its lights to go up toward the front of the face of the lampstand, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
4 Akki itti baattuun ibsaa tolfame akkana: Miilla isaa irraa jalqabee hamma daraaraa isaatti warqee tumame irraa hojjetame. Baattuun ibsaa sun akkuma fakkeenya Waaqayyo Museetti argisiise sanaatti hojjetame.
And this [is] the work of the lampstand: beaten work of gold; from its thigh to its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which YHWH showed Moses, so he has made the lampstand.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 “Saba Israaʼel keessaa Lewwota fuudhii qulqulleessi.
“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you have cleansed them.
7 Isaan qulqulleessuufis waan kana godhi: bishaan qulqullaaʼummaa isaanitti facaasi; akka isaan dhagna isaanii guutuu haaddatanii akkasiin uffata ofii miiccatanii of qulqulleessan godhi.
And thus you do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle waters of atonement on them, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
8 Isaanis dibicha loonii tokko kennaa midhaanii kan daakuu bullaaʼaa zayitiidhaan sukkuumame wajjin haa fuudhan; atis dibicha loonii lammaffaa aarsaa cubbuutiif fuudhi.
and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, and you take a second bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering;
9 Lewwota fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti dhiʼeessiitii waldaa Israaʼelootaa guutuu walitti qabi.
and you have brought the Levites near before the Tent of Meeting, and you have assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel,
10 Lewwotas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessi; sabni Israaʼel harka isaanii Lewwota irra haa kaaʼan.
and you have brought the Levites near before YHWH, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
11 Aroonis akka Lewwonni Waaqayyo tajaajiluu dandaʼaniif saba Israaʼel keessaa aarsaa sochoofamu godhee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan haa dhiʼeessu.
and Aaron has waved the Levites [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, from the sons of Israel, and they have been [consecrated] for doing the service of YHWH.
12 “Erga Lewwonni harka isaanii mataa jiboota sanaa irra kaaʼanii booddee ati Lewwotaaf araaraa buusuudhaaf dibicha tokko aarsaa cubbuu, kaan immoo aarsaa gubamu godhiitii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessi.
And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering to YHWH, to atone for the Levites.
13 Akka Lewwonni fuula Aroonii fi fuula ilmaan isaa dura dhaabatan godhi; ergasiis aarsaa sochoofamu godhiitii Waaqayyotti isaan dhiʼeessi.
And you have caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering to YHWH;
14 Haala kanaan Israaʼeloota kaan keessaa Lewwota addaan baasi; Lewwonnis kan koo haa taʼan.
and you have separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
15 “Erga ati Lewwota qulqulleessitee aarsaa sochoofamu gootee isaan dhiʼeessitee booddees isaan hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf haa dhufan.
and afterward the Levites come in to serve the Tent of Meeting, and you have cleansed them, and have waved them [as] a wave-offering.
16 Isaan Israaʼeloota keessaa guutumaan guutuutti naaf kennamuu qabu. Ani qooda hangafa saba Israaʼel kan gadameessa saaqu hundaa Lewwota ofii kootiif fudhadheera.
For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who opens any womb—the firstborn of all; I have taken them for Myself from the sons of Israel;
17 Israaʼel keessaa dhiirri hangafni hundi namas taʼu horiin kan koo ti. Ani yeroon biyya Gibxi keessatti hangafa hunda ajjeese sana ofii kootiifan addaan isaan baafadhe.
for every firstborn among the sons of Israel [is] Mine, among man and among beast; in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
18 Ani qooda ilmaan Israaʼel hangafoota hundaa Lewwota fudhadheera.
and I take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
19 Yommuu Israaʼeloonni iddoo qulqulluutti dhiʼaatanitti akka dhaʼichi isaan hin arganneef, akka isaan Israaʼelootaaf araara buusanii fi akka isaan tajaajila Israaʼelootaa dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti raawwataniif ani Lewwota saba Israaʼel hunda keessaa Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatiif kennaa godhee kenneera.”
And I give the Levites [as] 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 drawing near to the holy place.”
20 Museen, Aroonii fi waldaan Israaʼel guutuun akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana Lewwotas godhan.
And Moses does—Aaron also, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel—to the Levites according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so the sons of Israel have done to them.
21 Lewwonnis of qulqulleessanii wayyaa ofii miiccatan. Aroonis akkuma aarsaa sochoofamuutti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan dhiʼeesse; isaan qulqulleessuufis araara isaaniif buuse.
And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waves them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, and Aaron makes atonement for them to cleanse them,
22 Ergasii Lewwonni qajeelcha Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatiin hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuudhaaf dhufan. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana Lewwotas godhan.
and afterward the Levites have gone in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as YHWH has commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
23 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
24 “Kun seera Lewwotaaf kennamee dha: Dhiironni umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamii shanii fi hammasii olii hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti hirmaachuuf haa dhufan;
“This [is] who [is] for the Levites: from a son of twenty-five years and upward he goes in to serve the host in the service of the Tent of Meeting,
25 umurii waggaa shantamaatti garuu tajaajila isaanii haa dhaaban; deebiʼaniis hin tajaajilin.
and from a son of fifty years he returns from the host of the service, and does not serve anymore,
26 Hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti obboloota ofii gargaaruu ni dandaʼu; ofii isaaniitii garuu hojii sana hin hojjetin. Egaa kun haala itti ati itti gaafatama Lewwotaa ramadduu dha.”
and he has ministered with his brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, and does not do service; thus you do to the Levites concerning their charge.”
