Nomipā 8

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

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 “Ke ke lea kia ʻElone, mo ke pehē kiate ia, ʻOka ke ka fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻe ulo atu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻe fitu mei he tuʻunga maama.”

Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light towarde the forefront of the Candlesticke.

3 Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe ʻElone; naʻa ne tutu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi ai ke ulo atu mei he tuʻunga maama, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

4 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama ʻaki ʻae koula kuo tuki, ʻo aʻu hifo ki hono kau, mo hono ngaahi fisi, ko e koula tuki ia: ʻo hangē ko e fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe pehē ʻene ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama.

And this was the worke of the Candlesticke, euen of golde beaten out with the hammer, both the shafte, and the flowres thereof was beaten out with the hammer: according to the paterne, which the Lord had shewed Moses, so made he the Candlesticke.

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

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

6 “Mavahe ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.

Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.

7 Pea ʻe pehē ni hoʻo fai kiate kinautolu, ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu: Ke ke luluku ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vai fakamaʻa, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ke nau tele honau sino kotoa pē, ʻo fō honau ngaahi kofu, ke pehē ʻenau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.

And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinckle water of purification vpon them, and let them shaue all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shalbe cleane.

8 Pea tenau toki ʻave ʻae pulu mui fakataha mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻoku kau ai, ʻio, ʻae mahoaʻa lelei kuo fefiofi mo e lolo, pea te ke ʻave ʻae pulu mui ʻe taha ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala.

Then they shall take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.

9 Pea te ke ʻomi ʻae kau Livai ki he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea te ke tānaki ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kenau fakataha:

Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.

10 Pea te ke ʻomi ʻae kau Livai ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli tenau hilifaki honau nima ki he kau Livai:

Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.

11 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ʻElone ʻae kau Livai ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e feilaulau ia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi kenau fai ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova.

And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lord.

12 Pea ʻe hilifaki ʻe he kau Livai honau nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe ongo pulu: pea te ke ʻatu ʻae taha ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, pea ko e taha ko e feilaulau tutu, kia Sihova, ke fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e kau Livai.

And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.

13 “Pea te ke tuku ʻae kau Livai ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone, mo e ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ʻatu ʻakinautolu ko e feilaulau kia Sihova.

And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.

14 ‌ʻE pehē haʻo vaheʻi ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ko e kau Livai ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinautolu.

Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.

15 Pea hili ia, ʻe ʻalu ʻae kau Livai ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea te ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, ʻoatu ʻakinautolu ko e feilaulau.

And afterwarde shall the Leuites goe in, to serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purifie them and offer them, as a shake offering.

16 He kuo tuku maʻaku ʻakinautolu mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ke fetongi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku [fuofua ]tō mei he manāva, ʻio ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo u ʻomi ai maʻaku ʻakinautolu.

For they are freely giuen vnto me from among the children of Israel, for such as open any wombe: for all the first borne of the children of Israel haue I taken them vnto me.

17 He ko e ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe ʻoʻoku ia, ʻae tangata mo e manu fakatouʻosi pe: ʻi he ʻaho ne u taaʻi ai ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ne u fakatapui ʻakinautolu maʻaku.

For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.

18 Pea kuo u fili mai ʻae kau Livai ke fetongi ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki tama kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,

19 Pea kuo u foaki ʻae kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko e foaki kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ke fai ʻae ngāue maʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea kenau fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ha mahaki fakaʻauha ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoka haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he faletapu.”

And haue giuen the Leuites as a gift vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come neere vnto the Sanctuarie.

20 Pea ko Mōsese mo ʻElone, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fai ki he kau Livai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko e kau Livai, naʻe fai pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate kinautolu.

Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.

21 Pea naʻe fakamaʻa ʻae kau Livai, pea naʻa nau fō honau ngaahi kofu; pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe ʻElone ʻakinautolu ko e feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻElone ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.

So the Leuites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offred them as a shake offring before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purifie them.

22 Pea hili ia naʻe hū ʻae kau Livai ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻElone, mo e ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi foha: ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko e kau Livai, naʻa nau fai pehē kiate kinautolu.

And after that, went the Leuites in to doe their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sonnes: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so they did vnto them.

23 “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

24 Pea ko e meʻa ni ʻoku kau ki he kau Livai: tenau hū ke talifekau ʻi he ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai mei honau taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima:

This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

25 Pea ʻoka hoko ki he nimangofulu taʻu, tenau tuku ʻa ʻenau tauhi ʻae ngāue ʻi ai, pea ʻe ʻikai tenau toe fai:

And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:

26 Ka tenau fai fakataha mo honau kāinga ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ke fai ki he tauhi, ka ʻe ʻikai tenau fai ha ngāue lahi. Ke ke fai pehē ki he kau Livai ʻi honau tauhi.”

But they shall minister with their brethre in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe things committed to their charge, but they shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites touching their charges.
