4 Mojzes 8
1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
2 »Govori Aronu in mu reci: ›Ko prižigaš svetilke, bo sedem svetilk dajalo svetlobo nasproti svečniku.‹«
“Speak to Aaron. Say to him, 'The seven lamps must give light in front of the lampstand when you light them.'”
3 Aron je storil tako. Prižgal je svetilke nasproti svečniku, kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu.
Aaron did this. He lit the lamps on the lampstand to give light toward the front of it, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
4 To delo svečnika je bilo iz kovanega zlata, njegovo telo, do njegovih cvetov, je bilo kovano delo, glede na vzorec, ki ga je Gospod pokazal Mojzesu, tako je naredil svečnik.
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 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 »Vzemi Lévijevce izmed Izraelovih otrok in jih očisti.
“Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and purify them.
7 Tako jim boš storil, da jih očistiš: nanje poškropi vodo očiščevanja in naj obrijejo vse svoje meso in naj si operejo oblačila in se tako očistijo.
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 Potem naj vzamejo mladega bikca z njegovo jedilno daritvijo, torej fino moko, umešano z oljem in še enega mladega bikca boš vzel za daritev za greh.
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 Lévijevce boš privedel pred šotorsko svetišče skupnosti in skupaj boš zbral celoten zbor Izraelovih otrok.
You will bring the Levites in front of the tent of meeting and assemble the whole community of the people of Israel.
10 Lévijevce boš privedel pred Gospoda in Izraelovi otroci bodo svoje roke položili na Lévijevce.
When you bring the Levites before Yahweh, the people of Israel must lay their hands on the Levites.
11 Aron bo daroval Lévijevce pred Gospodom za daritev Izraelovih otrok, da bodo lahko opravljali Gospodovo službo.
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 Lévijevci bodo svoje roke položili na glave bikcev in enega boš daroval za daritev za greh, drugega pa za žgalno daritev Gospodu, da opraviš spravo za Lévijevce.
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 Lévijevce boš postavil pred Arona in pred njegove sinove in jih daroval za daritev Gospodu.
Present the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and lift them up as a wave offering to me.
14 Tako boš Lévijevce oddvojil izmed Izraelovih otrok in Lévijevci bodo moji.
In this way you must separate the Levites from among the people of Israel. The Levites will belong to me.
15 Potem bodo Lévijevci vstopili, da opravljajo službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in ti jih boš očistil in jih daroval kot dar.
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 Kajti oni so v celoti dani meni izmed Izraelovih otrok namesto tistega, ki odpre vsako maternico, celo namesto prvorojenca izmed vseh Izraelovih otrok sem jih vzel k sebi.
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 Kajti vsi prvorojenci izmed Izraelovih otrok so moji, tako človek in žival. Na dan, ko sem udaril vsakega prvorojenca v egiptovski deželi, sem jih posvetil zase.
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 Lévijevce sem vzel za vse prvorojence izmed Izraelovih otrok.
I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of all the firstborn.
19 Izmed Izraelovih otrok sem dal Lévijevce kakor darilo Aronu in njegovim otrokom, da opravljajo službo Izraelovih otrok v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti in da opravijo spravo za Izraelove otroke, da tam ne bo nadloge med Izraelovimi otroki, ko se Izraelovi otroci približajo svetišču.«
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 Mojzes, Aron in vsa skupnost Izraelovih otrok so Lévijevcem storili glede na vse, kar je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu glede Lévijevcev, tako so jim Izraelovi otroci storili.
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 Lévijevci so bili očiščeni in oprali so svoja oblačila in Aron jih je daroval kakor daritev pred Gospodom in Aron je zanje opravil spravo, da jih očisti.
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 Potem so Lévijevci vstopili, da opravljajo svojo službo v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti pred Aronom in pred njegovimi sinovi. Kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu glede Lévijevcev, tako so jim storili.
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 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
Yahweh spoke again to Moses. He said,
24 »To je to, kar pripada Lévijevcem: od petindvajset let stari in starejši bodo vstopili, da čakajo na službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti,
“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 in od starosti petdesetih let bodo prenehali čakati na njegovo služenje in ne bodo več služili,
They must stop serving in this way at the age of fifty years. At that age they must not serve any longer.
26 temveč bodo služili s svojimi brati v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, da pazijo na zadolžitev in ne bodo opravljali služenja. Tako boš storil Lévijevcem glede njihove zadolžitve.«
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.”
