< Numbers 8 >

1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the LORD spake unto 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 unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.
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.
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof [so as to give light] in front of the candlestick, 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.
And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, [and] unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the LORD spake unto 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.
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, 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 bullock, and its meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou 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.
And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt 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.
and thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon 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 they may be 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.
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and offer thou the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto 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.
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave offering unto 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 shalt thou 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.
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for 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 unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto 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 beast: on the day that I smote 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.
And 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.”
And 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 nigh unto the sanctuary.
20 Mose, Aaroni àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto 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.
And 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.
And after that went the Levites 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 did they unto them.
23 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the LORD spake unto 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 belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon 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 upon 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 brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.
