Числа 8
1 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
2 глаголи Аарону и речеши к нему: егда поставиши светила, от страны спреди светилника да светят седмь светила.
“Speak to Aaron. Say to him, 'The seven lamps must give light in front of the lampstand when you light them.'”
3 И сотвори тако Аарон: от единыя страны спреди светилника возжже светила его, якоже повеле Господь Моисею.
Aaron did this. He lit the lamps on the lampstand to give light toward the front of it, as Yahweh 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.
The lampstand was made in this way and Yahweh showed Moses the pattern for it. It was to be hammered gold from its base to its top, with hammered cups like blossoms.
5 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 поими левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и да очистиши я:
“Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and 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:
Do this to them to purify them: Sprinkle the water of atonement on them. Make them shave their entire body, wash their clothes, and in this way purify themselves.
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:
Then have them take a young bull and its grain offering of fine flour mingled with oil. Let them take another young bull as a sin offering.
9 и да приведеши левиты пред скинию свидения, и собереши весь сонм сынов Израилевых:
You will bring the Levites in front of the tent of meeting and assemble the whole community of the people of Israel.
10 и приведеши левиты пред Господа, и да возложат сынове Израилстии руки своя на левиты:
When you bring the Levites before Yahweh, the people of Israel must lay their hands on the Levites.
11 и да отлучит Аарон левиты отдание пред Господа от сынов Израилевых, и да служат службы Господви:
Aaron must offer the Levites before Yahweh, as a wave offering from the people of Israel so that they may do the service of Yahweh.
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 must place their hands on the heads of the bulls. You must offer one bull for a sin offering and the other bull for a burnt offering to me, to atone for the Levites.
13 и поставиши левиты пред Господем и пред Аароном и пред сынми его, и отдаси я отдание Господу:
Present the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and lift them up as a wave offering to me.
14 и да отлучиши левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и будут Мне:
In this way you must separate the Levites from among the people of Israel. The Levites will belong to me.
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:
After that, the Levites must go in to serve in the tent of meeting. You must purify them. You must offer them as a wave offering.
16 вместо отверзающих всяка ложесна первенцев всех от сынов Израилевых, приях я Себе:
Do this, because they are entirely mine from among the people of Israel. They will take the place of each male child who opens the womb, the firstborn of all the descendants of Israel. I have taken the Levites for myself.
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,
All the firstborn from among the people of Israel are mine, both of people and of animals. On the day that I took the lives of all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set them apart for myself.
18 и взях левиты вместо всякаго первенца сынов Израилевых,
I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of all the firstborn.
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.
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons. I have taken them from among the people of Israel to do the work of the people of Israel in the tent of meeting. I have given them to atone for the people of Israel so that no plague will harm the people when they come near to the holy place.”
20 И сотвори Моисей и Аарон и весь сонм сынов Израилевых левитом, якоже заповеда Господь Моисею о левитех, тако сотвориша им сынове Израилевы.
Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of the people of Israel did this with the Levites. They did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites. The people of Israel did this with them.
21 И очистишася левити и испраша ризы своя: и отдаде я Аарон отдание пред Господем, и помолися о них Аарон, очищения ради их.
The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothing, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering to Yahweh and he made atonement for them to cleanse 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.
After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before Aaron's sons. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses about the Levites. They treated all the Levites in this way.
23 И рече Господь к Моисею глаголя:
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
24 сие есть еже о левитех: от двадесяти пяти лет и вышше, да внидут служити служение в скинии свидения:
“All of this is for the Levites who are twenty-five years old and more. They must join the company to serve in the tent of meeting.
25 и от пятидесяти лет да отстанут от служения и не служат ктому.
They must stop serving in this way at the age of fifty years. At that age they must not serve any longer.
26 И да служат братия его в скинии свидения еже стрещи стражи, дел же да не делают. Тако сотвориши левитом в стражах их.
They may help their brothers who continue to work at the tent of meeting, but they must serve no more. You must direct the Levites in all these matters.”
