Levitiko 8

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

2 “Ke ke ʻave ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi kofu mo e lolo ʻoe fakatapui, mo e pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e sipitangata ʻe ua, mo e kato mā taʻefakalēvani;

“Bring Aaron and his sons, and bring their (special clothes/clothes [that they will wear while they do the work of priests)], the oil for anointing them, the bull to be offered to cause them to become forgiven for the sins they have committed, the two rams [to be slaughtered], and the basket containing bread made without yeast.

3 Pea ke tānaki ʻae kakai ke fakataha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.”

Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”

4 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia; pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻae kakai ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.

5 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “Ko eni ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ke fai.”

Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”

6 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ne kaukauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vai.

Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.

7 Pea naʻa ne ʻai kiate ia ʻae kofutuʻa, ʻo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae noʻo, ʻo ʻai kiate ia ʻae kofu fakatōtōlofa, mo ne ʻai kiate ia ʻae ʻefoti, ʻo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ia ʻae noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti, ʻo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻe ia ia.

He/I put the special tunic/shirt on Aaron, tied the sash/waistband around him, put on him the special robe, and put on him the sacred vest/apron. He/I fastened the sacred vest/apron around him, using the skillfully woven sash.

8 Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae kofu fatafata kiate ia: pea ne ʻai foki ki he kofu fatafata ʻae ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi.

He/I put the sacred pouch on his chest and put into it the two stones for him to use to find out what God wants.

9 Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae tatā ki hono ʻulu pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae pale koula ki he muʻa tatā, ko e tatā māʻoniʻoni; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

Then he/I wrapped the turban around Aaron’s head, and fastened on the front of it the gold ornament, the object that showed that he was dedicated to God, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

10 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae lolo tākai, ʻo ne tākai ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo ne fakatapui kotoa pē ia.

Then Moses/I took the olive oil and anointed the sacred tent and everything in it, and dedicated them [to Yahweh].

11 Pea naʻa ne luluku ʻaki ia ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo liunga fitu, ʻo ne tākai ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga mo hono nāunau kotoa pē, mo e sene mo hono tuʻunga, ke fakatapui ia.

He/I sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He/I anointed the altar and all the things used with it, and its huge washbasin and its stand, to dedicate them to Yahweh.

12 Pea naʻa ne lingi mei he lolo tākai ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻElone, ʻo ne tākai ʻaki ia, ko hono fakatapui.

He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.

13 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne nonoʻo ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi noʻo, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tatā kiate kinautolu; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

Then he/I brought forward Aaron’s sons. He/I put tunics/shirts on them, tied sashes/waistbands around them, and wrapped turbans around their heads, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

14 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala: pea naʻe hilifaki ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha honau nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala.

Then he/I brought the bull for the offering to cause people to be forgiven for the sins that have committed. Then Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull’s head.

15 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ia: pea ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto, ʻo ʻai takatakai ia ʻaki hono tuhu ki he ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ko e fakamaʻa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne lingi ʻae toto ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga, ko e fakatapui ia, ke fai ʻi hono funga ʻae fakalelei.

Then Moses/I slaughtered the bull, [caught some of its blood in a bowl], and with his/my finger put some of that blood on the projections at the corners of the altar, to purify the altar. He/I poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. By doing that, he/I caused it to be a suitable place for burning sacrifices for sin.

16 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngako kotoa pē naʻe ʻi loto, mo e ʻahu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate, mo e kofuua ʻe ua, mo hona ngako, pea tutu ia ʻe Mōsese ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga.

Moses/I took all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, including the liver and kidneys, and burned them on the altar.

17 Ka ko e pulu, mo hono kili, ko hono sino, mo hono kinohaʻa, naʻa ne tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻi tuaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

He/I took the rest of the bull, including the hide and intestines, and burned them outside the camp, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

18 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae sipitangata ki he feilaulau tutu: pea hilifaki ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha honau nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe sipitangata.

Then he/I brought the ram for the offering that would be completely burned [on the altar], and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

19 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ia; pea luluku ʻaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto ʻae funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo takatakai.

Then Moses/I slaughtered the ram and sprinkled its blood on all sides of the altar.

20 Pea naʻa ne tafa ʻae sipitangata; pea tutu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻulu, mo e ngaahi konga, mo e ngako.

He/I cut the ram into pieces and washed the inner parts and hind legs. Then he/I put the head, the fat, and the other parts of the ram on the altar. As it burned, the aroma of the smoke was pleasing to Yahweh. It was an offering to Yahweh that was burned, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

21 Pea fufulu ʻe ia ʻae toʻotoʻonga mo e keukeu ʻaki ʻae vai; pea tutu ʻe Mōsese hono kotoa ʻoe sipitangata ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga: ko e feilaulau tutu ia ko e meʻa namu kakala, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova: ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

22 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae sipitangata ʻe taha, ko e sipitangata ʻoe fakanofo: pea naʻe hilifaki ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha honau nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe sipitangata.

Then he/I brought the other ram, the one for consecrating the priests, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

23 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ia; pea ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono toto ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he muʻa telinga toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻElone, pea ki he motuʻa nima ʻo hono nima toʻomataʻu, pea ki he motuʻa vaʻe ʻo hono vaʻe toʻomataʻu.

Moses/I slaughtered that ram, [drained some of its blood in a bowl], and put some of that blood on the lobes of the right ears, the thumbs of the right hands, and the big toes of the right feet of Aaron and his sons [to indicate that what they listened to and what they did and where they went should be directed by Yahweh].

24 Pea ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, pea ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto ki honau muʻa telinga toʻomataʻu, pea ki he motuʻa nima ʻo honau nima toʻomataʻu, pea ki he motuʻa vaʻe ʻo honau vaʻe toʻomataʻu: pea naʻe luluku ʻaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto ʻae funga feilaulauʻanga ʻo takatakai.

25 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngako, mo e tuʻungaiku, mo e ngako kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he toʻotoʻonga, mo e ʻahu ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate, mo hono kofuua ʻe ua, mo hona ngako, mo e alanga muʻa toʻomataʻu:

He/I picked up all the fat of the ram, its fat tail, the fat that covered the inner parts, including the fat that covered the liver and kidneys, and the right thigh of the ram.

26 Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe taha taʻefakalēvani mei he kato mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo e foʻi mā naʻe loloʻi mo e foʻi mā manifinifi, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ngako, pea ki he alanga muʻa toʻomataʻu:

Then from the basket containing the bread that was made without yeast, the bread which had been dedicated to Yahweh, he/I picked up one loaf of bread [made without olive oil], and one loaf that was [made by mixing the flour] with olive oil, and one wafer. He/I put those on top of the portions of fat, and put them into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they lifted them up in the presence of Yahweh [to indicate that it was an offering that belonged to him].

27 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe ia kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo ʻElone, pea ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi foha, pea taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ia ko e feilaulau taʻaloʻalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

28 Pea naʻe toʻo ia ʻe Mōsese mei honau nima, ʻo ne tutu ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ki he meʻa tutu: ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoe fakanofo ko e meʻa namu kakala ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova.

Then Moses/I took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar. That was the offering that was burned to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. And the aroma while it burned was pleasing to Yahweh.

29 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae fatafata, ʻo taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ia ko e feilaulau taʻaloʻalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ko hono ʻinasi ia ʻo Mōsese ʻi he sipitangata ʻoe fakanofo; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

Moses/I also took the breast of the second ram and lifted it up, as Yahweh had commanded. The breast was Moses’/my share of the ram that was sacrificed to dedicate the priests.

30 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae lolo tākai, pea mo e toto ʻaia naʻe ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne luluku ʻaki ia ʻa ʻElone, pea mo hono ngaahi kofu, pea mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo e ngaahi kofu ʻo hono ngaahi foha; ʻo ne fakatapui ʻa ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi kofu, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi kofu ʻo hono ngaahi foha.

Then Moses/I took some of the olive oil for anointing [Aaron and his sons], and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. By doing that, he/I consecrated Aaron and his sons and their clothes.

31 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone pea ki hono ngaahi foha, “Haka ʻae kakano ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea kai ia ʻi ai, mo e mā ʻoe ngaahi fakanofo ʻoku ʻi he kato, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau, ʻo pehē, Ko ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha tenau kai ia.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat [of the second ram] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket, like I told you to do.

32 Pea ko ia ʻoku toe ʻi he kakano, pea mo e mā te mou tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.

Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.

33 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou hū kituʻa ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ke ʻoua, ke ngata ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo homou fakanofo: ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu te ne fakanofo ʻakimoutolu.

The time for you to be set apart as priests will be seven days, so do not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days.

34 Hangē ko ia kuo fai ʻe ia he ʻaho ni, ko ia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ke fai, ke fai ʻae fakalelei maʻamoutolu.

What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.

35 Ko ia te mou nofomaʻu ai ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo tauhi ʻae fekau ʻa Sihova; telia naʻa mou mate: he kuo pehē hono fekauʻi au.”

You must stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days and seven nights and do what Yahweh requires, in order that you will not die [because of disobeying him. I am telling you that] because that is what Yahweh has commanded me to tell you.”

36 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻElone ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

So Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell them.
