Числа 8
1 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 глаголи Аарону и речеши к нему: егда поставиши светила, от страны спреди светилника да светят седмь светила.
Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the leaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.
3 И сотвори тако Аарон: от единыя страны спреди светилника возжже светила его, якоже повеле Господь Моисею.
And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 И сие устроение светилника: слияно злато стебль его и крины его, слияно все: по образу, егоже показа Господь Моисею, тако сотвори светилник.
Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 поими левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и да очистиши я:
Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,
7 и сице да сотвориши им очищение их: покропиши на них воду очищения, и да взыдет бритва на все тело их, и исперут ризы своя, и чисти будут:
According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed,
8 и да возмут телца единаго от волов, и сего жертву муки пшеничны, спряжены с елеем, и телца единолетна от волов да возмеши греха ради:
They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering:
9 и да приведеши левиты пред скинию свидения, и собереши весь сонм сынов Израилевых:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:
10 и приведеши левиты пред Господа, и да возложат сынове Израилстии руки своя на левиты:
And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:
11 и да отлучит Аарон левиты отдание пред Господа от сынов Израилевых, и да служат службы Господви:
And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.
12 левити же да возложат руки на главы телцев: и да сотвориши единаго от гресе и единаго во всесожжение Господу, умилостивити о них:
The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.
13 и поставиши левиты пред Господем и пред Аароном и пред сынми его, и отдаси я отдание Господу:
And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord,
14 и да отлучиши левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и будут Мне:
And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.
15 и по сих да внидут левиты делати дела скинии свидения: и да очистиши их, и отдаси я пред Господем: яко отдание отданы сии Мне суть от среды сынов Израилевых:
And afterwards they shall enter into the tabernacle of the covenant, to serve me. And thus shalt thou purify and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: for as a gift they were given me by the children of Israel.
16 вместо отверзающих всяка ложесна первенцев всех от сынов Израилевых, приях я Себе:
I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,
17 яко Мне есть всяк первенец от сынов Израилевых, от человека до скота: в день в оньже поразих всякаго первенца в земли Египетстей, освятих я Себе,
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:
18 и взях левиты вместо всякаго первенца сынов Израилевых,
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel:
19 и отдах левиты отданием Аарону и сыном его от среды сынов Израилевых делати дела сынов Израилевых в скинии свидения и умилостивляти о сынех Израилевых: да не будет язва на сынех Израилевых, внегда приступати им к святым.
And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary.
20 И сотвори Моисей и Аарон и весь сонм сынов Израилевых левитом, якоже заповеда Господь Моисею о левитех, тако сотвориша им сынове Израилевы.
And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:
21 И очистишася левити и испраша ризы своя: и отдаде я Аарон отдание пред Господем, и помолися о них Аарон, очищения ради их.
And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lard, and prayed for them,
22 И но сих внидоша левити служити службы своя в скинии свидения пред Аароном и пред сыны его: якоже повеле Господь Моисею о левитех, тако сотвориша им.
That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.
23 И рече Господь к Моисею глаголя:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24 сие есть еже о левитех: от двадесяти пяти лет и вышше, да внидут служити служение в скинии свидения:
This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
25 и от пятидесяти лет да отстанут от служения и не служат ктому.
And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:
26 И да служат братия его в скинии свидения еже стрещи стражи, дел же да не делают. Тако сотвориши левитом в стражах их.
And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.
