Kwan 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Wuo gi Harun kendo iwachne kama: ‘Ka iketo teyni abiriyo kuonde mowinjore, to nyaka ler margi meny nyim rachung taya.’”
Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3 Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4 Ma e kaka rachung taya nolosi: Nolose gi dhahabu mothedhi chakre e bwoye nyaka wiye malo. Rachung taya nolosi mana kaka ranyisi mane Jehova Nyasaye osenyiso Musa.
And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold, to its shaft, to the flowers of it, [was] beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Wal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko kendo pwodhgi gibed maler.
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Kipwodhogi, to itim kama: Kwo pi mipwodhogigo kuomgi; bangʼe giliel yie dendgi duto kendo giluok lepgi, eka gibed joma opwodhi.
And thus shalt thou do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.
8 Nyisgi gikaw nyarwath kaachiel gi misango mar cham mar mogo mayom moru gi mo; bangʼe ikaw nyarwath matin mar ariyo kaka misango mar golo richo.
Then let them take a young bullock with his meat-offering, [even] fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
9 Kel jo-Lawi e nyim Hemb Romo kendo ichok oganda duto mar dhood Israel.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt convene the whole assembly of the children of Israel:
10 Nyaka ikel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo jo-Israel nyaka oyie lwetgi kuomgi.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11 Harun nyaka kel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo koa kuom jo-Israel, mondo omi gibed moikore ne tij Jehova Nyasaye.
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
12 “Bangʼ ka jo-Lawi oseketo lwetgi ewi rwedhigo, to chiw achiel kuomgi ne Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mar golo richo, to machielo chiw kaka misango miwangʼo pep mipwodhogo jo-Lawi mondo ngʼwon-nigi.
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin-offering, and the other [for] a burnt-offering, to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
13 Ket jo-Lawi ochungʼ e nyim Harun kod yawuote bangʼe ichiwgi kaka misango mifwayo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering to the LORD.
14 Ma e kaka onego iwal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko mondo obed maga.
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15 “Bangʼ ka isepwodho jo-Lawi kendo ichiwogi kaka misango mifwayo, to nyaka gibi mondo gitim tijgi e Hemb Romo.
And after that shall the Levites go in to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.
16 Gin e jo-Israel manyaka chiw chuth ne an. Asekawogi kaka meka awuon e lo kayo ma en nyodo mokwongo ma wuowi mar ja-Israel.
For they [are] wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.
17 Nyathi moro amora ma wuowi mokwongo ma ja-Israel bed ni en dhano kata chiayo, en mara. Kane anego kayo duto man Misri, ne awalogi gibedo maga.
For all the first born of the children of Israel [are] mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
18 Bende aseketo jo-Lawi duto obedo e lo yawuowi makayo e Israel.
And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children of Israel.
19 Kuom jo-Israel duto, asechiwo jo-Lawi kaka mich ne Harun gi yawuote mondo giti tij lemo e Hemb Romo e lo jo-Israel kendo mondo gikelnegi resruok kuom masira manyalo mako jo-Israel ka gisudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo.”
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 tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there may be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh to the sanctuary.
20 Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto notimone jo-Lawi gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.
21 Jo-Lawi nopwodhore giwegi kendo negiluoko lepgi. Bangʼ mano Harun nochiwogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo mi notimonegi misango mondo opwodhgigo.
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Bangʼ mano, jo-Lawi nobiro tiyo tijgi e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Harun kod yawuote. Negitimone jo-Lawi mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
And after that went the Levites in to perform their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
23 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Ma e kaka jo-Lawi biro tiyo: Joma chwo mahikgi piero ariyo gabich kata moloyo kanyo nobi mondo obed achiel kuom jotich e Hemb Romo,
This [is it] that [belongeth] to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
25 to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:
26 Ginyalo konyo owetegi e tije mag Hemb Romo, to gin giwegi ok onego gimul tich moro amora. Ma e kaka ibiro pogo tije ne jo-Lawi.”
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do to the Levites concerning their charge.
