Numbers 8

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac fahk,

2 Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.

“Fahk nu sel Aaron lah pacl se el filiya lam itkosr fin nien lam uh, elan oakiya tuh in tolak acn meet.”

3 And Aaron did so; he put the lights in their places so that they gave light in front of the support, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

Aaron el oru oana, ac oakiya lam uh tuh kalem kac in tolak mutun nien lam uh.

4 The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

Orekla nien lam uh ke gold tuktuki, lucngi na nwe ten, fal nu ke lumah se su LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.

5 And the Lord said to Moses,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

6 Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.

“Srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel ngia, ac aknasnasyalosla

7 And this is how you are to make them clean: let the holy water which takes away sin be put on them, and let the hair all over their bodies be cut off with a sharp blade, and let their clothing be washed and their bodies made clean.

in ouiya se inge: sroksrokunulosyak ke kof in aknasnas, ac sap elos in resaela manolos nufon, ac ohlla nuknuk lalos uh. Na elos ac fah nasnasla.

8 Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.

Na elos fah eis soko cow mukul fusr, ac lupan flao karyak ke oil in olive ma eneneyuk nu ke mwe kisa wheat; ac kom fah eis soko pac cow mukul nu ke mwe kisa ke ma koluk.

9 And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:

Toko kom orani mwet Israel nukewa ac sap mwet Levi in tuyak ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, su pa acn nga muta we.

10 And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:

Na mwet Israel elos fah filiya paolos fin sifen mwet Levi uh,

11 And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.

ac Aaron el fah kisakunma mwet Levi uh nu sik oana sie mwe sang sriyukla sin mwet Israel uh, tuh elos in oru orekma luk.

12 And the Levites are to put their hands on the heads of the oxen, and one of the oxen is to be offered for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to the Lord to take away the sin of the Levites.

Na mwet Levi fah filiya paolos fin sifen cow mukul lukwa; soko ac fah mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac ma soko ngia nu ke mwe kisa firir. Ouiya se inge in orek ke alu in aknasnas lun mwet Levi.

13 Then the Levites are to be put before Aaron and his sons, to be offered as a wave offering to the Lord.

“Kisakunma mwet Levi uh oana sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sik, ac sang tuh Aaron ac wen natul in liyalosyang.

14 So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.

In lumah se inge kom fah srela mwet Levi uh liki mwet Israel saya, na elos fah ma nutik.

15 After that, the Levites will go in to do whatever has to be done in the Tent of meeting; you are to make them clean and give them as a wave offering.

Tukun kom aknasnasyela ac kisakunla mwet Levi uh, elos ac fah fal in orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.

16 For they have been given to me from among the children of Israel; in place of every mother's first son, the first to come to birth in Israel, I have taken them for myself.

Nga eisalos in aolla wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Israel, ac elos ma na nutik.

17 For every mother's first son among the children of Israel is mine, the first male birth of man or beast: on the day when I sent death on all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I made them mine.

Ke nga tuh onela wounse nukewa nutin mwet Egypt uh, nga tuh akmutalye wen se ma matu oemeet in kais sie sou in Israel, ac wounsien kosro nukewa, tuh in ma nutik sifacna.

18 And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites.

Inge nga eis mwet Levi in aolla wounse nukewa nutin mwet Israel,

19 And I have given them to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to undertake for them all the work of the Tent of meeting, and to take away sin from the children of Israel so that no evil may come on them when they come near the holy place.

ac nga sang kunal Aaron ac wen natul elos in liyaung mwet Levi oana sie mwe kite sin mwet Israel, tuh elos fah orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal nu sin mwet Israel, ac in loango mwet Israel liki ongoiya ma ac ku in sonolos elos fin tuku apkuranla nu ke Acn Mutal.”

20 All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

Ouinge Moses, Aaron ac mwet Israel nukewa kisakunla mwet Levi, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.

21 And the Levites were made clean from sin, and their clothing was washed, and Aaron gave them for a wave offering before the Lord; and Aaron took away their sin and made them clean.

Mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna ac ohlla nuknuk lalos, ac Aaron el kisakunulos oana sie mwe kite sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD. El oayapa oru alu in aknasnas nu selos.

22 And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

Mwet Israel akfalye ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses elan oru ke mwet Levi. Ouinge mwet Levi elos fal in oru orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye koko lal Aaron ac wen natul.

23 And the Lord said to Moses,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

24 This is the rule for the Levites: those of twenty-five years old and over are to go in and do the work of the Tent of meeting;

“Kais sie mwet Levi su yac longoul limekosryak matwa, ac fah oru orekma kunal in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik,

25 But after they are fifty years old, they are to give up their work and do no more;

na el ac mongla liki orekma kunal ke el sun yac lumngaul matwa.

26 But be with their brothers in the Tent of meeting, taking care of it but doing no work. This is what you are to do in connection with the Levites and their work.

Tukun pacl sacn, el ku in kasru mwet Levi wial in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu el tia ku in sifacna orekma. Pa inge ma kom ac oakiya nu ke kulansap lun mwet Levi.”
