Lakkoobsa 8
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 “Aroonitti akkana jedhii dubbadhu; ‘Yeroo ati ibsaawwan torban qabsiiftutti isaan iddoo baattuu ibsaa fuula dura jiru haa ibsan.’”
“Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and tell him, ‘When you light the menorah ·lamp· candles, the seven menorah ·lamp· candles shall give light in front of the menorah ·lamp·.’”
3 Aroonis akkasuma godhe; innis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti akka isaan fuula baattuu ibsaa duraan ifa kennaniif ibsaawwan sana qabsiise.
Aaron [Light-bringer] did so. He lit its menorah ·lamp· candles to light the area in front of the menorah ·lamp·, as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out].
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.
This was the workmanship of the menorah ·lamp·, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Adonai had shown Moses [Drawn out], so he made the menorah ·lamp·.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
6 “Saba Israaʼel keessaa Lewwota fuudhii qulqulleessi.
“Take the Levites [Descendants of United with] from among the children of Israel [God prevails], and cleanse them.
7 Isaan qulqulleessuufis waan kana godhi: bishaan qulqullaaʼummaa isaanitti facaasi; akka isaan dhagna isaanii guutuu haaddatanii akkasiin uffata ofii miiccatanii of qulqulleessan godhi.
You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of habitual sin ·missing the mark· cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8 Isaanis dibicha loonii tokko kennaa midhaanii kan daakuu bullaaʼaa zayitiidhaan sukkuumame wajjin haa fuudhan; atis dibicha loonii lammaffaa aarsaa cubbuutiif fuudhi.
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 habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.
9 Lewwota fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti dhiʼeessiitii waldaa Israaʼelootaa guutuu walitti qabi.
You shall present the Levites [Descendants of United with] before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
10 Lewwotas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessi; sabni Israaʼel harka isaanii Lewwota irra haa kaaʼan.
You shall present the Levites [Descendants of United with] before Adonai. The children of Israel [God prevails] shall lay their hands on the Levites [Descendants of United with],
11 Aroonis akka Lewwonni Waaqayyo tajaajiluu dandaʼaniif saba Israaʼel keessaa aarsaa sochoofamu godhee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan haa dhiʼeessu.
and Aaron [Light-bringer] shall offer the Levites [Descendants of United with] before Adonai for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel [God prevails], that it may be theirs to do the service of Adonai.
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.
“The Levites [Descendants of United with] shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the other for a burnt offering to Adonai, to make atonement for the Levites [Descendants of United with].

You shall set the Levites [Descendants of United with] before Aaron [Light-bringer], and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Adonai.
14 Haala kanaan Israaʼeloota kaan keessaa Lewwota addaan baasi; Lewwonnis kan koo haa taʼan.
Thus you shall separate the Levites [Descendants of United with] from among the children of Israel [God prevails], and the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall be mine.
15 “Erga ati Lewwota qulqulleessitee aarsaa sochoofamu gootee isaan dhiʼeessitee booddees isaan hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjechuuf haa dhufan.
“After that, the Levites [Descendants of United with] 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 Isaan Israaʼeloota keessaa guutumaan guutuutti naaf kennamuu qabu. Ani qooda hangafa saba Israaʼel kan gadameessa saaqu hundaa Lewwota ofii kootiif fudhadheera.
For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel [God prevails]; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel [God prevails], I have taken them to me.
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 all the firstborn among the children of Israel [God prevails] are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], I sanctified them for myself.
18 Ani qooda ilmaan Israaʼel hangafoota hundaa Lewwota fudhadheera.
I have taken the Levites [Descendants of United with] instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel [God prevails].
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.”
I have given the Levites [Descendants of United with] as a gift to Aaron [Light-bringer] and to his sons from among the children of Israel [God prevails], to do the service of the children of Israel [God prevails] in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel [God prevails]; that there be no plague among the children of Israel [God prevails], when the children of Israel [God prevails] come near to the sanctuary.”
20 Museen, Aroonii fi waldaan Israaʼel guutuun akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana Lewwotas godhan.
Moses [Drawn out], and Aaron [Light-bringer], and all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] did so to the Levites [Descendants of United with]. According to all that Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out] concerning the Levites [Descendants of United with], so the children of Israel [God prevails] did to them.
21 Lewwonnis of qulqulleessanii wayyaa ofii miiccatan. Aroonis akkuma aarsaa sochoofamuutti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan dhiʼeesse; isaan qulqulleessuufis araara isaaniif buuse.
The Levites [Descendants of United with] cleansed sin ·err (the standard goal)· from themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron [Light-bringer] offered them for a wave offering before Adonai; and Aaron [Light-bringer] made 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.
After that, the Levites [Descendants of United with] went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron [Light-bringer], and before his sons: as Adonai had enjoined Moses [Drawn out] concerning the Levites [Descendants of United with], so they did to them.
23 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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 that which belongs to the Levites [Descendants of United with]: 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 umurii waggaa shantamaatti garuu tajaajila isaanii haa dhaaban; deebiʼaniis hin tajaajilin.
and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
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.”
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 [Descendants of United with] concerning their duties.”
