Resansman 8
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 -Pale ak Arawon. W'a di l' konsa: Lè l'ap fè moute sèt ti lanp yo sou pye gwo lanp sèt branch lan, ranje yo yon jan pou yo klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the leaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.
3 Arawon swiv lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz la: li fè moute ti lanp yo pou yo ka klere sou devan gwo lanp sèt branch lan.
And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 Men ki jan gwo lanp lan te fèt: tout kò a nèt te fèt ak pi bon lò ki genyen. Yo te fè depi pye gwo lanp lan jouk flè yo nan yon sèl gwo moso lò, dapre modèl Seyè a te fè Moyiz wè nan vizyon an.
Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 -Wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la. Mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,
7 Men ki jan w'a fè l': W'a pran nan dlo pou wete peche a, w'a voye l' sou yo. Apre sa, y'a koupe cheve ak pwal sou tout kò yo nèt, epi y'a lave rad ki sou yo. Se konsa y'a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed,
8 Apre sa, moun Levi yo va pran yon jenn ti towo ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden ki pou mache avè l' la, ki vle di ti gout farin frans melanje ak lwil. Ou menm, w'a pran yon dezyèm ti towo tou jenn pou ou touye pou repare sa yo fè ki mal.
They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering:
9 Apre sa, w'a fè moun Levi yo pwoche dèvan pòt Tant Randevou a, epi w'a fè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo sanble.
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:
10 Y'a poze men yo sou tèt moun Levi yo.
And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:
11 Lèfini, Arawon va pran moun Levi yo, l'a vire yo adwat, l'a vire yo agoch devan mwen menm, Seyè a, tankou yon ofrann espesyal moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap fè m' pou moun Levi yo ka fè sèvis mwen.
And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.
12 Apre sa, moun Levi yo va poze men yo sou tèt ti towo bèf yo, w'a ofri yonn pou mande padon pou peche yo, w'a ofri lòt la pou yo boule nèt pou mwen. Se konsa y'a fè sèvis pou mande m' gras pou moun Levi yo.
The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.
13 Mete moun Levi yo apa tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m'. Mete yo sou zòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo.
And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord,
14 W'a wete moun Levi yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, konsa moun Levi yo va pou mwen nèt ale.
And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.
15 Lè w'a fin mete moun Levi yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, lè w'a fin vire yo adwat agoch devan m', tankou yon kado espesyal moun yo fè m', y'a gen dwa pwoche vin fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a.
And afterwards they shall enter into the tabernacle of the covenant, to serve me. And thus shalt thou purify and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: for as a gift they were given me by the children of Israel.
16 N'a wete yo nan mitan rès pèp Izrayèl la, n'a fè m' kado yo nèt. Mwen va pran yo pou mwen nan plas tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,
17 Paske, tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak tout premye ti mal bèt yo fè se pou mwen yo ye. Depi jou mwen te touye tout premye pitit moun peyi Lejip yo, wi depi jou sa a mwen mete premye pitit nou yo apa pou mwen.
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:
18 Koulye a, mwen pran moun Levi yo nan plas premye pitit moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel:
19 Mwen pran moun Levi yo tankou yon kado moun yo fè m', mwen renmèt yo nan men Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo pou yo fè travay moun Izrayèl yo gen pou yo fè nan Tant Randevou a, pou mande Bondye gras pou pèp la. Konsa, okenn malè p'ap rive tonbe sou pèp la paske yo p'ap janm bezwen pwoche twò pre kote ki apa nèt pou mwen nan tanp lan.
And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary.
20 Se konsa, Moyiz, Arawon ak tout pèp Izrayèl la mete moun Levi yo apa nèt pou Seyè a, jan li te bay Moyiz lòd la. Wi, yo te fè tou sa pou yo te fè pou moun Levi yo.
And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:
21 Moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou peye pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal, yo lave rad ki sou yo. Arawon mete yo apa devan Seyè a, li vire yo adwat agoch devan Seyè a tankou yon kado espesyal pou Bondye, epi li fè sèvis pou mande gras pou yo te ka nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye.
And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lard, and prayed for them,
22 Apre sa, moun Levi yo antre al fè travay yo nan Tant Randevou a sou lòd Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Se konsa pèp la te fè pou moun Levi yo tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.
23 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ankò, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24 -Sa mwen pral di ou la a, se pou moun Levi yo: Depi yo rive laj vennsenkan y'a fè pati gwoup moun k'ap travay nan Tant Randevou a.
This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
25 Lè y'a gen senkantan, y'a pran retrèt yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò nan tant lan.
And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:
26 Men, y'a gen dwa ede moun Levi parèy yo nan nenpòt travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a. Men yo menm poutèt pa yo, yo p'ap reskonsab okenn travay ankò. Se konsa w'a bay moun Levi yo travay pou yo fè.
And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.
