Numbers 8
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
2 “Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
Saontsio amy Aharone vaho ano ty hoe: Ie hañajary o jiroo, le ampañazavao mb’aolo mb’eo i fitàn-jiroy i jiro fito rey.
3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Le nanoe’ i Aharone izay; nalaha’e i jiro rey hañazava’e mañaolo i fitàn-jiroy amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
4 This was the workmanship of the lamp stand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work. He made the lamp stand according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses.
Inao ty nanoeñe i fitàn-jiroy: volamena pinepeke i taho’ey pak’ amboñe’e eo; toe satam-pipepehañe, amy sare natoro’ Iehovà amy Mosèy, izay ty nanoe’e i fitàn-jiroy.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Aviho amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio vaho efero.
7 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, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Zao ty hañefera’o iareo: amitsezo am’ iereo ty ranon’ enga-kakeo, le ampiozàñem-piharatse ty fañòva’ iareo iaby, naho ampanasao sikiñe vaho ampiliovo.
8 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.
Le ampangalao iareo ty bania rekets’ i enga-mahakama’ey, i mona linaro menakey, vaho ampangalao bania raike ho engan-kakeo.
9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Le aseseo mb’ añatrefa’ i kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo o nte-Levio vaho atontono ty valobohò’ Israele;
10 You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Aa naho fa navori’o añatrefa’ Iehovà o nte-Levio le hanampe fitàñe amo nte-Levio o ana’ Israeleo;
11 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.
le hengae’ i Aharone ho engan-kelahela am’ Iehovà o nte-Levy boak’ amo ana’ Israeleoo hitoroñe Iehovà.
12 “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.
Le hanampeza’ o nte-Levio fitàñe i bania rey, naho hengae’o ho engan-kakeo ty raike vaho ho soroñañe am’ Iehovà ty raike, hañefera’o o nte-Levio.
13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
Aa le ajohaño añatrefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo o nte-Levio vaho engao am’ Iehovà ho engan-kelahela.
14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Izay ty hañambaha’o amo ana’ Israeleo o nte-Levio le ho ahiko o nte-Levio.
15 “After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
Henane zay, himoake hitoroñe amy kibohom-pamantañañey o nte-Levio, ie fa neferañe naho nengaeñe ho engan-kelahela.
16 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.
Songa natolotse ahiko boak’ amo ana’ Israeleo; fa rinambeko ho amako ho solo’ ze hene manoka-koviñe; ze fonga tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israele.
17 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.
Toe anjarako ze hene valohan’ ana’ o ana’ Israeleo, ondaty naho hare; tamy andro nipaohako ze fonga valohan’ ana’ i Mitsraimey ty nañambahako iareo ho ahy.
18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Le rinambeko ho soloe’ o nte-Levio o tañoloñoloñan’ ana’ Israeleo;
19 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, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
vaho natoloko amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo aivo o ana’ Israeleo ho ravoravo o nte-Levio, hitoloñe ami’ty fitoloña’ o ana’ Israeleo amy kibohom-pamantañañey, naho hañefetse o ana’ Israeleo tsy mone hiboak’ amo ana’ Israeleo ty angorosy naho harinea’ o ana’ Israeleo i efe-miavakey.
20 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.
Izay ty nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho ty valobohò’ Israele amo nte-Levio; ze hene nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè ty amo nte-Levio ty nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo.
21 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.
Le nañalio vatañe o nte-Levio naho nanasa’ o siki’eo iareo, naho nengae’ i Aharone am’ Iehovà ho ravoravo miavake, vaho nefera’ i Aharone hañaliova’e iareo.
22 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.
Ie henane zay nimoak’ an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao o nte-Levio hitoloñe añatrefa’ i Aharone naho o ana’eo; i nandilia’ Iehovà amy Mosè ty amo nte-Levio ty nanoañe am’iareo.
23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
24 “This is what is assigned 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;
Inao ty amo nte-Levio: ie roapolo-taoñe lim’ amby mañambone ro hizilike hitoloñe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao;
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
ie limampolo taoñe ro hitroatse amo fitoroña’eo, le tsy hitoloñe ao ka.
26 but shall assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall perform no service. This is how you shall have the Levites do their duties.”
F’ie mete hañimba o rahalahi’eo an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao, hisary o tolon-draha’eo fa tsy hitromake. Izay ty hanoe’o amo nte-Levio amo fitoloña’eo.
