وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ١ 1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
«كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: مَتَى رَفَعْتَ ٱلسُّرُجَ فَإِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ تُضِيءُ ٱلسُّرُجُ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ». ٢ 2
“Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
فَفَعَلَ هَارُونُ هَكَذَا. إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ رَفَعَ سُرُجَهَا كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى. ٣ 3
Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ صَنْعَةُ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ: مَسْحُولَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. حَتَّى سَاقُهَا وَزَهْرُهَا هِيَ مَسْحُولَةٌ. حَسَبَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ ٱلَّذِي أَرَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا عَمِلَ ٱلْمَنَارَةَ. ٤ 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.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
«خُذِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ. ٦ 6
“Take the Levites from amongst the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ لَهُمْ لِتَطْهِيرِهِمِ: ٱنْضِحْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَاءَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، وَلْيُمِرُّوا مُوسَى عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرِهِمْ، وَيَغْسِلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ فَيَتَطَهَّرُوا. ٧ 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.
ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُوا ثَوْرًا ٱبْنَ بَقَرٍ وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ دَقِيقًا مَلْتُوتًا بِزَيْتٍ. وَثَوْرًا آخَرَ ٱبْنَ بَقَرٍ تَأْخُذُ لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيَّةٍ. ٨ 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.
فَتُقَدِّمُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَمَامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَتَجْمَعُ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٩ 9
You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
وَتُقَدِّمُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَضَعُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ١٠ 10
You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
وَيُرَدِّدُ هَارُونُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَرْدِيدًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونُونَ لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١١ 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.
ثُمَّ يَضَعُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسَيِ ٱلثَّوْرَيْنِ، فَتُقَرِّبُ ٱلْوَاحِدَ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَٱلْآخَرَ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ١٢ 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.
فَتُوقِفُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَمَامَ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَتُرَدِّدُهُمْ تَرْدِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ. ١٣ 13
You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
وَتُفْرِزُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِي. ١٤ 14
Thus you shall separate the Levites from amongst the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَأْتِي ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِيَخْدِمُوا خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ فَتُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُرَدِّدُهُمْ تَرْدِيدًا، ١٥ 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.
لِأَنَّهُمْ مَوْهُوبُونَ لِي هِبَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. بَدَلَ كُلِّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، بِكْرِ كُلٍّ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ ٱتَّخَذْتُهُمْ لِي. ١٦ 16
For they are wholly given to me from amongst 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.
لِأَنَّ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. يَوْمَ ضَرَبْتُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَدَّسْتُهُمْ لِي. ١٧ 17
For all the firstborn amongst 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.
فَٱتَّخَذْتُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٨ 18
I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel.
وَوَهَبْتُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ هِبَةً لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَلِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَأٌ عِنْدَ ٱقْتِرَابِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْقُدْسِ». ١٩ 19
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from amongst 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 amongst the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. هَكَذَا فَعَلَ لَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٠ 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.
فَتَطَهَّرَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَغَسَّلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ، وَرَدَّدَهُمْ هَارُونُ تَرْدِيدًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ هَارُونُ لِتَطْهِيرِهِمْ. ٢١ 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.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَتَى ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَتَهُمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ هَارُونَ وَأَمَامَ بَنِيهِ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ هَكَذَا فَعَلُوا لَهُمْ. ٢٢ 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.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٢٣ 23
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
«هَذَا مَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ: مِنِ ٱبْنِ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا يَأْتُونَ لِيَتَجَنَّدُوا أَجْنَادًا فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ. ٢٤ 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;
وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً يَرْجِعُونَ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ وَلَا يَخْدِمُونَ بَعْدُ. ٢٥ 25
and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
يُوازِرُونَ إِخْوَتَهُمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِحَرَسِ حِرَاسَةٍ، لَكِنْ خِدْمَةً لَا يَخْدِمُونَ. هَكَذَا تَعْمَلُ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ فِي حِرَاسَاتِهِمْ». ٢٦ 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.”
