< Na Helu 8 >

1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, a e I aku ia ia, penei, I ka manawa e kuni ai oe i na kukui, e hoomalamalama na ipu ehiku imua o ka ipukukui.
Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3 Pela no o Aarona i hana'i; kuni iho la ia i kona mau kukui imua o ka ipukukui, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4 A o keia hana o ka ipukukui, he gula i wiliia, mai kona kumu a hiki i kona mau pua, he hana i Wiliia: mamuli o ke kumuhoolike a Iehova i hoike ai ia Mose, pela no ia i hana'i i ka ipukukui.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 E lawe oe i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, a e huikala ia lakou.
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 Penei kau hana ana ia lakou, e huikala ai ia lakou: E kapipi i ka wai huikala maluna o lakou, a e amu lakou i ko lakou kino a pau, a e holoi lakou i ko lakou mau aahu, a e huikala ia lakou iho.
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 Alaila, e lawe lakou i ka bipikeikikane, me kana mohaiai, he palaoa i kawili pu ia me ka aila; a me kekahi bipikeikikane hou e ae i mohaihala.
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 A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina; a e hoakoakoa mai hoi oe i ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
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 A e kai mai oe i na Levi imua o Iehova; a e kau aku na mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na Levi:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11 A e hoali aku o Aarona i na Levi io a ia nei, imua o Iehova, i mohaihoali o na mamo a Iseraela, i lilo ai lakou i poe e lawe i ka hana a Iehova.
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 A e kau aku na Levi i ko lakou mau lima maluna o na poo o na bipikane: a e kaumaha oe i kekahi i mohaihala, a i kekahi i mohaikuni na Iehova, i mea hookalahala no na Levi
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 A e hoonoho oe i na Levi imua o Aarona, a imua o kana mau keiki, a e mohai aku ia lakou i mohai na Iehova.
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering to the LORD.
14 Pela oe e hookaawale ai i na Levi maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela; a e lilo na Levi no'u.
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15 A mahope iho, e komo na Levi e hana ma ka halelewa anaina; a e huikala oe ia lakou, a e mohai oe ia lakou i mohai.
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 No ka mea, ua lilo loa lakou no'u maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela, i panai no ka poe hanau mua, no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, ua lawe au ia lakou no'u.
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 No ka mea, no'u no na hiapo a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka ke kanaka, a me ka ka holoholona; i ka la a'u i luku ai na hanau mua a pau ma Aigupita, hoolaa iho la au ia lakou nei no'u.
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 A ua lawe au i na Levi i panai no na hanau mua a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born of the children of Israel.
19 A ua haawi aku au i na Levi i haawina no Aarona a no kana mau keiki, maiwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, e hana i ka hana a ka poe mamo a Iseraela ma ka halelewa anaina, a e hookalahala no na mamo a Iseraela, i ole e lukuia na mamo a Iseraela, i ka wa e hele mai ai na mamo a Iseraela a kokoke i ke keenakapu.
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 A o Mose me Aarona a me ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, hana aku la lakou i na Levi e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi; pela no i hana aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia lakou.
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 A ua huikalaia na Levi, a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou aahu; a hoali aku o Aarona ia lakou i mohaihoali imua o Iehova, a hookalahala aku la o Aarona no lakou, i mea e huikala ai ia lakou.
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 A mahope iho, komo aku la na Levi iloko e hana i ka lakou hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, imua o Aarona a imua o kana mau keiki: e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose no na Levi, pela no lakou i hana aku ai ia lakou.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Eia ka mea no na Levi; mai ka iwakalua a me kumamalima o na makahiki a keu aku, e hele lakou iloko e hana i ka hana o ka halelewa o ke anaina:
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 A mai ka makahiki he kanalima aku, e hoi lakou mai ka hana aku, aole lakou e hana hou aku.
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:
26 Aka, e malama lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau ma ka halelewa anaina, e kiai ana i ka oihana, aole nae lakou e hana. Pela no oe e hana aku ai i na Levi no ka lakou oihana.
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.
