Numbers 8
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Bá Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀ kí o wí fún un pé. ‘Nígbà tí ó bá ń to àwọn fìtílà, àwọn fìtílà méjèèje gbọdọ̀ tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àyíká níwájú ọ̀pá fìtílà.’”
"Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
3 Aaroni sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀; ó to àwọn fìtílà náà tí wọ́n sì fi kojú síwájú lórí ọ̀pá fìtílà gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4 Bí a ṣe ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà nìyìí, a ṣe é láti ara wúrà lílù: láti ìsàlẹ̀ títí dé ibi ìtànná rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe ọ̀pá fìtílà náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí bátànì tí Olúwa fihan Mose.
This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Yọ àwọn ọmọ Lefi kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, kí o sì wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
"Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Báyìí ni kí o ṣe wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́. Wọ́n omi ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ sí wọn lára, mú kí wọn ó fá irun ara wọn, kí wọn ó fọ aṣọ wọn, kí wọn ó ba à lè wẹ ara wọn mọ́ nípa ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8 Jẹ́ kí wọn ó mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ rẹ̀ tí í ṣe ìyẹ̀fun ìyẹ̀fun kíkúnná dáradára tí a fi òróró pò, kí ìwọ náà mú akọ ọ̀dọ́ màlúù kejì fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 Ìwọ ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí o sì kó gbogbo àpapọ̀ ọmọ Israẹli jọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Báyìí ni kí o mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa, gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli yóò sì gbọ́wọ́ lé àwọn ọmọ Lefi lórí.
You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
11 Aaroni yóò sì mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi wá síwájú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wá, kí wọn lè máa ṣiṣẹ́ Olúwa.
and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
12 “Lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ọmọ Lefi bá gbé ọwọ́ wọn lé orí àwọn akọ ọmọ màlúù náà, ìwọ yóò sì fi ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti èkejì fún ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa, láti ṣe ètùtù fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Mú kí àwọn ọmọ Lefi dúró níwájú Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kí ó sì gbé wọn kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì sí Olúwa.
You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
14 Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ya ọmọ Lefi sọ́tọ̀, kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, àwọn ọmọ Lefi yóò sì jẹ́ tèmi.
Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
15 “Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti wẹ àwọn ọmọ Lefi mọ́, tí ó sì ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀ bí ẹbọ fífì nígbà náà ni kí wọn ó lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.
"After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
16 Nítorí pé àwọn ni ó jẹ́ ti Èmi pátápátá nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mo ti gbà wọ́n fún ara mi dípò àwọn àkọ́bí àní àkọ́bí ọkùnrin gbogbo Israẹli.
For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
17 Nítorí pé gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ lọ́kùnrin ní Israẹli jẹ́ tèmi, ti ènìyàn àti ti ẹranko, láti ọjọ́ tí mo ti pa gbogbo àkọ́bí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni mo ti yà wọ́n sọ́tọ̀ fún ara mi.
For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 Mo sì ti gba àwọn ọmọ Lefi dípò gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọ ọkùnrin nínú Israẹli.
I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
19 Nínú Israẹli, mo fi àwọn ọmọ Lefi fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn láti máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé fun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti láti máa ṣe ètùtù fún wọn kí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn má ba à kọlu àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ ibi mímọ́.”
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
20 Mose, Aaroni àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
21 Àwọn ọmọ Lefi wẹ ara wọn mọ́, wọ́n sì fọ aṣọ wọn. Aaroni sì mú wọn wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ fífì níwájú Olúwa, Aaroni sì ṣe ètùtù fún wọn láti wẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́.
The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Lẹ́yìn èyí àwọn ọmọ Lefi lọ sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé láti lọ máa ṣiṣẹ́ wọn lábẹ́ àbojútó Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Èyí ni ohun tó jẹ mọ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi, láti ọmọ ọdún kẹẹdọ́gbọ̀n tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ni kí ó máa kópa nínú iṣẹ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé.
"This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
25 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tó bá ti pé ọmọ àádọ́ta ọdún gbọdọ̀ ṣíwọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ ojoojúmọ́ wọn nínú àgọ́, kí wọ́n sì má ṣiṣẹ́ mọ́.
and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
26 Wọ́n le máa ran àwọn arákùnrin wọn lọ́wọ́ nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé ṣùgbọ́n àwọn fúnra wọn kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ kankan. Báyìí ni kí o ṣe pín iṣẹ́ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi.”
but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."
